    Beef Wellington and Shrimp Scampi with beef tips
    Jessica H.

    Came here for the beef Wellington Wednesday special, and it did not disappoint! The meat was cooked perfectly and you could slice through it like butter! The shrimp scampi with added steak tips was also very delicious. The service was excellent, the cocktails were amazing, and the ambiance is on point. We will be coming back for future specials!

    Wonderful! I must stop! Friendly service. Good food! Had duck wings with their tavern sauce. Oh my. So so so good! Had a batter on them with a wonderful crunch! Prime rib special. 32 oz medium rare only with an au jus that was amazing. A pound baked potato and perfectly cooked green beans. Desert was amazing. A port sampler. 10,20,30,40 year with a rich chocolate cake accompanied by Gorgonzola and walnuts. Turned into a masterful combination! What a delight. We shared the prime rib. I thought she said 18 oz. Not 32 oz. Oh well no regrets. Usually I do not order prime rib out because I have not found anywhere that is as good as mine. This is the exception. The horse radish sauce was perfect.

    Sticky Salmon!

    We just love this place. Small, and quaint. The food is amazing! Everything we've ever had there we've loved. The service staff is also truly outstanding. Last night we went for my wife's birthday and had a wonderful time. Complementary dessert for her whose was a cool bonus. I would definitely suggest the Thai glazed duck as a starter. They're just crazy good. In fact, so good that we got a second order to take home. I had the shrimp scampi for my main dish and it was delicious! Twin Forks staff really takes it over the top though. I highly recommend this eatery!!

    We came in from out of town for shows at Red Rocks. This place is a hidden gem. Super friendly staff, and the steaks we ordered were amazing. Relaxing atmosphere.

    Cheesecake

    Food, service, and ambiance were all a ten out of ten!!! Prime rib was amazing as always and we shared a wonderful end cut which gave us both what we like. Roger & crew do a great job at making everyone feel special and welcome. The chocolate martini was wonderful and the strawberry cheesecake was like none other- out of this world. Ambiance was extra special so if you want an upscale place with prices that are reasonable you really need to try this place.

    Chillin in the restaurant....no bar seating as of now

    Review: 5/5 Stars - A Lakewood Gem! If you are remotely…read moreclose to Lakewood, you need to go to Manning's Steaks and Spirits. The atmosphere is fantastic--sophisticated yet incredibly welcoming--but the food and service are what truly set this place apart. Our server, Shannon, was absolute perfection. She was over the top with her kindness and went out of her way to make sure every accommodation was met. Service like hers is rare and made the night feel truly special. The Food: * The Steaks: We had the Filet Mignon (served over savory mushrooms) and the Bone-In Ribeye. Both were cooked to a flawless sear, incredibly tender, and topped with a rich compound butter that took them to the next level. * The Sides: You have to try the Jalapeño Creamed Corn. It's velvety, sweet, and has the perfect hint of heat. We also loved the fresh shrimp and balsamic-glazed avocado salad. * Dessert: We finished with the Strawberry Cheesecake on a chocolate crust. It was the perfect, decadent end to a beyond-delicious meal. Between the world-class steaks and the legendary hospitality from Shannon, Manning's is a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Asked for medium rare- it was burnt/black on the outside and completely tasteless on the inside. It was super oily as well and lots of fat on it. The side of cheesy potatoes was drenched in oil- my partner didn't even finish it. Steak Bachemel sandwich was tasty but very messy. The fries were over fried so unenjoyable. Service was extremely slow even though they weren't busy. We waited around after we finished eating- for 15 minutes until I gave up and went and asked someone to ask our server for the check. I remember eating here once before many years ago but I forgot to review. I did remember it was about the same quality of food and service. Now I am documenting it and reminding my future self (and others?) to not come back!

    tl;dr the outlandish appetizers are more gimmicky than great, but the delicious lamb chops, solid…read moresides, and complimentary creme brulee rounded out a memorable meal When it comes to Denver restaurants, few are as iconic as The Fort Restaurant. This home-turned-restaurant was constructed in 1962 as a full-scale replica of Bent's Old Fort (a historic fur-trading post along the Santa Fe Trail). The wild game-centric menu is inspired by nineteenth century Western fare, with some modern creative liberties. Nowadays, The Fort remains a popular destination for locals and out-of-towners, and the grounds host regular educational and cultural events. It is even listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. In the evening, the bottom-lit fort pops against the pitch-black background. Enter the courtyard to be greeted by a toasty campfire. Check in at the ranch house-style lobby to the left, then roll through the cabin-esque saloon on the right to sip a cocktail and nibble on an appetizer while awaiting a table. The dining room up front, bridging the bar and lobby, is harshly lit and cramped with closely packed tables; the dimly lit, quieter dining room in the back is infinitely more relaxing. Instrumental Southwestern guitar music plays respectfully in the background. I visited with friends for weekend dinner, and The Fort was packed during prime time. We kicked off our meal with a half-serving Historian's Platter, featuring nibbles of The Fort's most iconic appetizers. My favorite was the buffalo tongue crostinis, paired with rich garlic aioli. The lime- and salt-forward guacamole and sturdy tortilla chips were no slouch, either. The "Boudies" buffalo sausage wasn't much more memorable than a hot dog, while the peanut butter-stuffed jalapeños were odd but not off-putting. The Rocky Mountain oysters paired excellent crispy panko battering with a characteristically offaly iron flavor; the accompanying caper salsa was on the sweet side. From the complimentary bread basket, we preferred the autumnal pumpkin-and-walnut muffin to the standard dinner roll. The diminutive side salad sported an addictive chipotle honey dressing and the intriguing addition of salty-and-sour pickled ginger. For our entree, we shared the General Armijo's Colorado Lamb T-bones. The melt-in-your-mouth lamb was excellently seasoned and perfectly cooked; I picked the bones clean. Across the sides, we were most impressed by the cast-iron President Jefferson's Favorite Mild Green Chile Mac N' Cheese, which featured premium cheeses, chile chunks, and a crispy baked top. The Fort Potatoes (chopped and caramelized with onions and beans) were a heartier and saucier take on roasted potatoes, while the Goat Cheese Green Chile Grits were creamy but one-dimensional in flavor. For dessert, we were gifted a complimentary Creme Brulee to celebrate our special occasion. The decadent pumpkin-spice custard was addictive, and the signature "party hat" was icing on the cake (or, erm, creme brulee). The service had its hiccups -- our reserved table wasn't ready for nearly 30 minutes, and our waiter forgot our a la carte elk steak (ultimately, a blessing in disguise, as we were full even before dessert). Nonetheless, we felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. Our bill totaled $150 (including 2 drinks, tax, and tip). While expensive at face-value, the price was on the cheaper side compared to peer kitschy Colorado steakhouses. The overall experience was a net positive, worthy of a visit.

    I'm honestly disheartened to be writing this review about The Fort, because it has been one of my…read morefavorite restaurants for most of my life. I've been coming here since I was 8 years old and have so many wonderful memories here with my grandparents and family over the past 20 years. I even spent my Senior Prom at The Fort. I have literally told everyone about this restaurant for years, raving that it isn't just about top-notch food, but about an incredible experience that you won't forget. That's why tonight was especially disappointing. I chose The Fort to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary. We came here for our anniversary last year as well, and our kids loved it so much--and my husband and I have always loved it--that we couldn't think of anywhere else we would rather spend such a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience tonight fell far short of what we have come to expect from The Fort. When we first arrived, we were greeted and checked in at the entrance. However, after walking inside to the host stand, we were essentially ignored for at least five minutes while several people stood at the desk. Eventually, someone grabbed menus, confirmed our last name, and told us to follow them. From there, the little details continued to add up. The food was not presented particularly well. My New York steak was chewy and lacked flavor, to the point that I needed to add quite a bit of salt. Our water glasses sat empty for much of the meal. The famous raisin muffins arrived completely smooshed together in the basket. We were also charged for each fountain drink refill because the restaurant now uses bottled drinks poured into glasses rather than a traditional fountain. None of these things individually would have ruined our evening. But together, they contributed to a feeling that the experience we have loved for so many years is changing. It is very noticeable that, with the change in management/ownership, more tables have been added and the restaurant now feels much more crowded and focused on maximizing the number of guests. And while I completely understand that restaurants need to be profitable, I worry that in the process, The Fort is losing the very thing that made it so special. The Fort was never just about the food. It was about the atmosphere, the service, the attention to detail, and the feeling that you were somewhere truly unique. Tonight, unfortunately, it felt much more like a high-class Chili's than the special, unforgettable experience I have spent decades telling people about. That is what makes this review so difficult to write. I genuinely love The Fort and have wanted to continue creating special memories there with my own family. I sincerely hope this was an off night and that the restaurant can find its way back to the experience that made so many of us love it in the first place.

First the…read morepositives: we had no trouble getting a table this Monday evening and it was fairly quiet. Food service was pretty quick and our server was mostly friendly. The venue itself had a good ambiance, though the sports bar like atmosphere somewhat detracted from the fancy a steakhouse experience. And the bread is amazing! Our read through of the menu was a bit confusing particularly between the a la carte steaks vs classic. Classic just means you pay more for veggies and a salad. We asked for prime rib but they were out. We got the 10oz filet medium rare instead. It came out nearly blue. They did take it back to correct it and it was better the second round though probably closer to medium by that point. It definitely needed a steak knife to get through which was a bit unexpected at this price point. They forgot both the mushrooms and the salad. The veggies we did get were bland and smothered in oil and barely cooked through. And the fries were very average - I would have expected steak fries or something not reminiscent of fast food fries. After bringing all this up, we did get our bill discounted a little but I don't feel like there will be a return visit after this experience.

Drinks were great and arrived quickly. Oddly, one drink, a martini, arrived with olives and nothing else. No liquid, just olives. We all laughed, as did the server. On that holiday, they are very busy and don't pay as much attention, I trust. Our food order took almost an hour to arrive. Two in our party needed to go and were headed out as the food arrived. So, they stayed a little longer. The steaks were awesome. One of the few places that a medium rare, medium, and medium well are exactly that. Impressive! We split wedge salad. Instead of a couple plates, they kindly cut it in half and served it on two plates. Mine came with a bucket of dressing. I think it was just the rush and they were not paying attention. Luckily, most of it was spilled on the side, so it was workable. We all laughed it off too, knowing that the salad came with a blue cheese soup. It was not a cheap meal, but I think it was reasonably priced. Most of the staff was very nice and were working like crazy. Good job. My third Thanksgiving there. Might change it next time, if dad's still around. The both request was really important, as those tall chairs are hard for them both. (96 & 92) and that cold wind was rough. That said, on slower nights they will be a solid.
