Best Historic Restaurants in Golden

I came to The Fort to celebrate my boyfriend and I's anniversary and wow what a unique exterior that matched the name of the restaurant so well! Our server Adam was so sweet and had the best recommendations as it was our first time there. We started off with the Historian Platter, which had a great assortment of their popular appetizers. It was a great value to try a little bit of everything, and I did enjoy everything except the peanut butter stuffed jalapeños mostly because they were chilled, but the flavor was delish! The salad was divine with the chipotle honey dressing, super fresh and don't even get me started on the pumpkin muffins that come on the side! For my main course I had the duck which was so tender and flavorful, however I wasn't a big fan of the wild rice. We saved room for dessert to do their crème brule, so so delicious all in all an amazing experience all the way through. Thank you to our server Adam for making our anniversary so special!

Beautiful ambiance, wonderful service, food is delicious with an eye appealing appearance.

Last minute decision that we were very happy about. Excellent food and service, we will return

We shared the Brussels sprouts which were some of the best I’ve ever had. Also a cup of the squash soup. I ordered a martini and it came “dirty”. The bar tender was so nice and immediately offered to make a new one for me. He and the server were very good.

We have been going to the Rose for years. Fantastic indoor bar area with a retractable roof. Great cocktails and beer selection. Staff is friendly and usually quick. Food is good. It’s mostly bar food, but what else would you want at a bar.
