Red Rocks Grill in Morrison

After a long day at Bandimere, I was starving for some great Mexican food.  Typically, we would go to Morrison Inn, but we had heard lately that they have gone down hill. So, we walked over to Red Rocks Grill. They are always consistently good and have great service. This occasion was no different. The waitress was on everything.  She was funny and helpful all at the same time. I got 4 crunchy beef tacos and Brian got one of the combos because he was being indecisive.  Great tacos! The only complaint I have it the pre made shells.  They should try making their own so that they are fresh. No frills on the looks, but taste make up for the presentation, or lack there of.

 

 

 

The Fort in Morrison

Denver Restaurant Week is one of my favorite times of year. You get to try normally expensive places for only $30 a person, and you typically get a ton of food. Some friends of ours joined us at The Fort this year for Restaurant Week.  We wanted something different to start as an appetizer and went with the Jalapeno’s Escabeche stuffed with peanut butter. I don’t know if I can fully explain all of the flavors that was going on at this point. Immediately you are hit with the spiciness of the pepper, but then it is followed by the sweetness of the peanut butter. Then leaves your mouth with a slow burn.  It was amazing!! Great started to the meal. Then you get your choice of two different steaks. We each picked one.  i got the NY strip and Brian got the filet. My steak was good, but wasn’t the best thing to write home about.  Brian also got an order of Bison ribs. OMG! The ribs were so tender with a bold flavor. They also made an awesome treat for our dog. They all came with a side of fresh green beans, which are my favorite vegetable ever. The service was amazing and the ambiance was comforting. I love The Fort.
