The Fort Restaurant

The Fort is a theme restaurant. Sure, it’s been called better things (a museum of culinary history, a gastronomic time capsule) and worse things (the fabulous obsession of one of the New West’s great hucksters), but it’s still a theme restaurant – part Old West reliquary, part Planet Hollywood with cowboys. The servers all wear […]

Four Seasons Hotel Denver

This towering downtown hotel boasts 239 rooms and suites, excellent views, fitness facilities, a pool and 24-hour access to its business center. Four Seasons is also home to Edge Restaurant & Bar, a sleek restaurant with a game-focused menu — filled out with steak, lamb and bison, with sides and sauces to match — and […]

Gala Gardens

Commerce City is hardly a restaurant utopia, and Gala Gardens isn’t exactly the first joint that floats into your head when you’re lusting after a brick of beef. But it should be, because the steaks — of which there are several, including a hefty 25-ounce porterhouse, a 22-ounce T-bone, a couple of New York strips […]

The Gashouse

Thirteen miles down-valley from Vail sits the Gashouse, in what was once an actual gas station. The walls are filled with trophy animals, and the waitstaff are dressed like extras from Heidi, but the unfettered fare carries a lower price tag than most of the stuff at the ski resort — and it’s good, too. […]

Guard and Grace

Chef/restaurateur Troy Guard debuted Guard and Grace in 2013, and it instantly became one of Denver’s top steak destinations – no mean feat in a town known for its beef. A modern approach to service, plating and the meat itself – grass-fed and dry-aged steaks are offered alongside grain-fed choices – has kept the posh […]

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant

At McCormick’s — an outpost of the McCormick’s & Schmick’s chain in the elegant Oxford Hotel — you can easily forget that you’re more than a thousand miles from a coastline. The restaurant’s extensive menu features a ton of fresh fish, prepared plain or fancy, as well as steaks, salads and more land-locked entrees. And […]

Mickey’s Top Sirloin

In 2005 Mickey’s replaced its decrepit, decades-old home with a shiny, family-friendly new building on the same lot. The atmosphere is still casual and diner-like, though, and the menu is basically unchanged – which guarantees that you’ll get a whole lot of food for just a little bit of money. Most of the fare is […]

The Old Stone Church Restaurant

Still looking like the beautiful place of worship it once was, the Old Stone Church continues to be a mecca for some kind of reverence or another, whether your particular religion be food or wine. The serene, elegant restaurant offers just the kind of joyous occasion that takes the edge off the stresses of the […]

Quality Italian

The Denver outpost of the NYC-based eatery opened in early 2017 and has been holding down its Cherry Creek spot with housemade pasta and decadent steaks since then. Diners can get bistecca “Italian style,” topped with truffle or Gorgonzola and horseradish butter, but the spot’s claim to fame is an enormous circular chicken parmesan, topped […]
