The Denver restaurants do Restaurant week the last week of Feb. Since Denver is a mile hi 5280 feet, the restaurants charge $52.80 per couple. So it is always my challenge to score a coveted reservation, this year it was 7:30pm for 6 at the Fort on the Friday night . I haven't been to the Fort since I was a kid, back when they used to have Sissy the bear. The Fort is probably Colorado's most famous restaurant because they hosted the G-8 in 1997 and they serve all sorts of game. We liked everything except I know I could have done without the quail, it was just ok.
Here was the menu
First Course
The Fort’s Dinner Salad, a mix of seven crisp greens topped with pickled ginger, diced jicama, toasted pepitas, and a peppadew pepper. Served with freshly baked pumpkin walnut muffins and freshly baked sourdough rolls topped with Sam’s Traveling Spice.
Second Course
The most tender of all, a savory bison brochette and The Fort’s famous teriyaki marinated quail, served with roasted shallot-white cheddar mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
Third Course
Fire Roasted Apple Cherry Cobbler - Topped with an oatmeal streusel served hot with vanilla ice cream and a lime-caramel sauce.
