User2060443 2+ years agoThe food, delicious. The location, romantic. The staff, extremely attentive. There are not enough words to brag enough about The Fort. We've had all of our special events here and we've never been disappointed. First valentines day, surprise bday, now our wedding. I wasn't sure how we would be able to have privacy from the general public, Jenefer Weeks pulled it off. We had plenty of space for dinner, mingling, photo booth and DJ with dance floor. Amazing job. We'll be back, time and time again!!! -
User2169890 2+ years agoWe had our rehearsal dinner at The Fort, and the food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the location great. It was a treat for our out-of-town guests to get a taste of Colorado. The drinks were very tasty, too.
Be prepared for some kitchy-ness if you choose this venue--either that or find the catering manager and tell them what you want and don't want. My mother-in-law booked the venue and they organized a bit of fun at our expense without really telling us. All in good fun, but if you don't want a photo of you wearing a buffalo hat, make sure to tell someone.
The location is great if you have younger kids coming. My cousin's kids played a bit of soccer in the courtyard when they were bored of sitting around. The views are unbeatable from the big terrace, but all the private dining spaces are on the other side of the restaurant. Make sure you take a walk to see the views of Denver--before and after sunset.
