Who doesn't want to eat in an adobe building, the largest in Colorado, modeled after an old military fort? Well, I for sure did, and so, during 5280 week in Denver, I did just that. The Fort is nestled near the top of a large hill. The large patio overlooks all of Morrison, Golden, and a distance Downtown.
Walking into the courtyard of the Forty, you are welcomed by the smell of campfire burning and a glowing light through the windows where diners are laughing and swooning over the meal before them. During 5280 week, restaurants offer prie-fix menus at a cost of $52.80 per couple. The menu was a treat in and of itself, but we also ordered a few appetizer's prior to the start of the meal.
The shrimp shooters and lamb ribblets were both very tasty. But the piece-de-resistance was the buffalo bone marrow. Two bones that had been halved and the broiled to perfection. The marrow was savory and melted in your mouth. The meal started with the house salad and bread. The main dish was a skewer of buffalo sirloin grilled to perfection and a quail glazed in Teriyaki. Accompanyed by mashed potatoes and green beans almonde, the plate was perfectly executed. meat cooked perfectly, beans done just right, and potatoes with just the right amount of garlic.
The only disappointment of the meal was the dessert. Cherry peach cobbler, ala mode. It was an ok dessert, nothing to order again.
Overall the meal was delicious and the company was ideal.
