Megan AllisonMay 23, 2018Beautiful, innovative food that's fun to eat (like a crab and avocado DIY taco dish with jicama as the shells) with great wine pairings to be had at reasonable prices. Loved.
Try the carrot and Thai red curry soup to start with. Loved the roasted baby beet salad. The restaurant offers an awesome selection of healthy food choices. Romantic place for a nice dinner!
Andy FrancoOctober 17, 2016This restaurant is amazing. Try the Devils on Horseback, Scallops, Rack of Lamb, Pork Tenderloin, and for dessert the Banana Creme Brûlée Pie! Also the Don Draper is a great cocktail!!!
- Ashley MowreyJuly 29, 2015I love it. Their veggie options are flawlessly executed and have as much thought put into their flavor balance as their omnivore dishes. Get the beet down cocktail. Good crispy quinoa.
- Carrie NenonenMarch 26, 2018Holy cow- oh SO good! Lamb sliders, citrus salad, pork tenderloin, rack of lamb at our table & all amazing. Save room for dessert tho. Chocolate bomb and Banana Creme Brûlée pie are a must to share!
Jimmy LuFebruary 10, 2018Everything. Seriously. For vegetarians, I highly recommend the parsnip potato soup, the Columbia papusa, and Tofu Paneer. All the drinks were amazing as well. Taste like a Michelin Star restaurant
Nicole StahleckerOctober 17, 2016One of my favorite places in Denver! Country fried tofu is amazing, green chili is spicy and great. Tofu scramble and spicy chai for brunch (and bottomless mimosas) can't be beat.
This place is awesome 😄. Great food and drinks. Bar is opening seating. If you have a group, get reservations. They won't let you down.
Connie ChiuMay 27, 2019Delicious food! The fried egg sandwich is amazing, especially the fried potatoes. Zucchini French toast is also tasty, kinda like a healthy version but delicious.
Corey ManiconeDecember 30, 2015#1 brunch spot in Denver and maybe even Colorado. Get the Huevos Rancheros Benedict. They're out of this world.
- Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The kitchen emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, and Cucci's even growing some of his own in Root Down's two gardens. While the food is uneven, the bar is unbeatable. Read more
- Dan CroakMay 29, 2016All the small plates we had for dinner were crazy-good, best meal in weeks: devils on horseback, tuna crudo, diver scallops, arepas, lamb sliders
House Hunters ColoradoJuly 31, 2015Coconut ginger fizz, vegan food and gluten free- all organic. Great local spot. Quaint atmosphere. Need reservation.
Kell Peplau-KaiserAugust 25, 2014Blood Orange Mimosa. That is all....Just kidding. They are great but the food doesn't pale in comparison. Book reservations and be prepared to book 3+ weeks in advance. Well worth it.
Mat CollisNovember 6, 2016Outrageous food. So so good, great atmosphere too. Teeeeny bit expensive, but totally worth it. I had something called Karashi chicken or something. OUTRAGEOUS
Jason YounkerMarch 3, 2013Try the Lemon Ricotta & Poppy Seed Pancakes - Incredible pancake. Never had a poppy seed pancake before. Was so good didn't even need any syrup to go with it.- Chai OdomFebruary 25, 2015They have a great selection of CO brews on tap. Farm-to-table delicious food. Highly recommend the Lamb sliders and duck wings.
BJ F.August 19, 2016Everything I've had the pleasure to enjoy here has been delicious! Love the staff, love the food, love the atmosphere!
Brian InderwiesMarch 18, 2012This is the first place I've been, in any city, that makes its own tonic water. And it's unbelievably delicious. If you like cocktails, go. (If you don't, go anyway.)
Devin EggertonSeptember 25, 2014Everything is good here! This place requires a reservation because of the popularity, the food is always fresh and recipes are unique.
Tricia TolarSeptember 16, 2013Delicious shareable plates. Most everything is locally grown or flown in fresh (like the salmon). Lots of gluten-free options. Great service!
AmateurConciergeOctober 19, 2022Good cocktails, cool gastropubby vibe and crowd pleasing food. Lamb sliders were fantastic
Claire SchlessingerJuly 23, 2016Tofu korma is absolutely amazing. Sorrel gnocchi is yummy and burrata tomato salad is unique and super flavorful
Erin RobbinsOctober 15, 2018The zucchini poblano pepper soup is awesome and the Sunday dinner is a great deal - three courses for $35!
it's not just breakfast, it's brunch on the weekends & dinner during the week.. HANDS DOWN 1 of the top 3 restaurants in all of Denver #facts
Melissa SiscoOctober 21, 2020The Colombian Arepas may be the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!!!
jolene parkAugust 16, 2011A dining spot where all dietary needs are accommodated, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and raw (1st Tuesday of every month). Menu has icons reflecting this philosophy.
Rich YannaconeSeptember 2, 2016Everything has delicious flavors! Staff are very attentive. Treat you real nice. Can't wait to try again! Share some scallops!
kevin hanahanJanuary 19, 2017This place is great! Get here as soon as you can, you will not regret it I promise! Mimosas are pretty good too :)
DenverPostJuly 5, 2011Very popular; creative, innovative menu. Try the Portobello, leek and mascarpone wontons. Also the tuna tartare, scallops or beef tenderloin. $7-$22, with most around $9-$11. “More Info" for review: Read more
Jodee RayFebruary 16, 2013One of my favorite spots! Super good happy hour for food and drinks. One of the only places to get a good Pisco Sour!- Brett Kessler DDSMay 6, 2019Root Down restaurant 8.3 mile s to the west of Denver dentist Town Center Dentistry and Orthodontics
Jody JennemannJanuary 21, 2017Korean braised short ribs were delicious. The decile on horseback appetizer was amazing.
Greg LJune 23, 2016Lamb sliders and sweet potato fries with mint yogurt sauce were ridiculously delicious
Adrienne SOctober 23, 2015Really great place. Very crowded, even on a Thursday night, so make a reservation unless you are ok at the bar.
You'll basically never be able to get a reservation, but seating in the bar area is quite easy, especially during brunch
Try the blood orange mimosas and surprisingly flavorful quinoa eggs benedict. Solid.
richard sheppardNovember 20, 2015Brunch Get the deviled eggs, and the chocolate cake, both very unique and tastey
M DApril 16, 2015The Bloody Mary mix is perfect. Love the veggie burger sliders & sweet potato fries.
SPIREJanuary 5, 2012The organic carrot & thai red curry is a-mazing! Some of the best specialty cocktails we've had as well! Don't miss!
Crystal GaskinNovember 16, 2013Skip the wait and sit on the patio to the right of the entrance. $12 bottomless mimosas and delicious food.
