I recently visited The Fort and shared an excellent dinner with family. A year ago when I visited, portion sizes had seemed smaller than normal, but I am pleased to report that this has been rectified. Our portions this time were huge, in addition to the food being even better than I had remembered. I had the buffalo prime rib and it was juicy and done perfectly. I have read reviews that complain about "the sauce" but have no idea what they are talking about. The only thing on my plate was the meat, it's juices, and my sides. ( I've had it numerous times over the years, and this is how it has always been served.) Enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes. Did not want the seasonal vegetable (corn on the cob) so I was offered anything else on the extensive sides menu. Other members of my family had the lamb chops, the game plate, and buffalo tenderloin. Everyone was quite pleased. This place can get noisy at times, but on this particular night (a Sunday), it was exceptionally quiet. There had been a Rendezvous that day, and some of the musicians from the event joined the Native American flutist to throw a little private concert for those of us in the main dining room. The music was on the quiet side so as not to intrude on dinner conversations. Though it didn't last longer than 10 minutes or so, it was quite magical. We will definitely be back.
Pros: the food and service
Cons: expensive, can be noisy at times

The queso....you MUST get the queso with the chips they bring to their table. Chili Rellenos, this was my biggest craving during my pregnancies, they are SO GOOD.
The atmosphere is great, the Red Rocks being right there is great. I found the service to be amazing and the food is truly unbeatable in that neck of the woods.
You would be a fool to pass this restaurant by!
Pros: Simply the best Mexican food I have ever had.
Cons: They are in Colorado....I am not.

I was a little skeptical reading other reviews but we wanted to go check it out for ourselves. I'm glad we did as the service was very good and the staff was friendly and courteous. Started off at the bar where the bartender was very entertaining and friendly. We did not have to wait long for a table and the server was right there and checked on us often. The food was very good and had a good presentation. Overall a great dinner.
Pros: Friendly service and great atmosphere
Cons: Some traffic noise

I remember going to Tiny Town as a child. I love it even more as an adult seeing my kids enjoy it. Tiny Town has done alot of work and restoration to the little buildings. My kids also love riding the miniature steam engine train and they have a great gift shop. The playground is an added bonus for kids to run off extra energy. Best for ages under 12.

From the outside, Red Rocks Grill looks like it's just another bar, but it is also a restaurant - a good family one.
The menu comes as a small newspaper, so you can catch up on what's been happening at Red Rocks Grill while you wait for your food.
And the menu offers both American as well as Mexican food. Both types are great! This place is definitely is worth a visit!

Friendly waitstaff, big portions of good food, a good bar with microbrews and a great combination of locals and visitors make it a unique experience. If you are as tired as I am of chain restaurants, and want something more authentic, give them a try!
Pros: Mexican food and BIG margaritas
Cons: Too popular -

Overall Tony's is great. No bad food on the menu, and 2 people can split an entree and still be full. The only drawback is that on a nice Friday or Saturday night parking can be a challenge.
And a bonus - if you are a United Mileage Plus Dining member you can get miles for dining here.
Pros: Great food, huge portions, fair prices
Cons: parking can be a hassle
