:    Thanks,

The Fort in Morrison is one of my favorites.
Take C-470 to the Hampden Blvd/US-285 exit. Go west to the next exit. The fort is just north of 285. It sits on a hill, overlooking south Denver. It is designed as a nineteenth century adobe fort. The food is great. Buffalo, Elk, Venison, quail, beef, and seafood. The finest array of brandies that I have found. is at The Fort. A good winelist is available. two people, without wine can spend $ 60 to $100. Dress is casual. Reservations suggested.

The Buckhorn Exchange 1000 block of Osage St., Denver. Turn east on 10th St from Kalamath, 10th dead ends to Osage. The Buckhorn is on the corner. Menu is similar to Fort. The chef gets a bit more creative on the specials, I think. Fair winelist. Price range similar to the Fort. They have rooftop dining area that is open air in good weather. Dress is casual. Reservations suggested.

Namiko's Restaurant, 7500 block of West 52nd Ave., Arvada Wadsworth Blvd and I-70, go north to 52nd Ave. turn right to next light. right into marketplace shopping center. Namiko's is to the left, next to Tandy leather, and Hobby store. Japanese cuisine. Sushi, Shashimi, Don Buri, Udon, and Tempura. Small, cozy atmosphere. Delightful. No Reservations Two people can spend $15 to 50.

Marc's Restaurant, 6920 W. 38th Ave, Wheatridge.

Try the Brewery BarII on Kalamath between Ellsworth and Bayaud or 1st and Ellsworth. Get the Chile Rellenos smothered in green and a Tiny.

Be sure and call for their hours. They're only open for lunch except on fridays and saturdays.

Enjoy...........
