I last went to The Fort probably 15 - 20 years ago. It was still very good then with excellent service, even if a bit pricey. But it was the kind of place you took guests from out-of-town for the experience. It's a shame places like that take such a dive in quality and service.

There is/was a steak place in Kittredge called the Black Hat Cattle Company. Dave Rodriguez, the owner, used to wander around and personally greet customers and check on their experience. Best meal I ever had in a restaurant was at that place.
