Beautiful, 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!

This 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, 2015
I 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, 2018
Holy 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!

Everything. 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, 2016
One 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.

Delicious food! The fried egg sandwich is amazing, especially the fried potatoes. Zucchini French toast is also tasty, kinda like a healthy version but delicious.

#1 brunch spot in Denver and maybe even Colorado. Get the Huevos Rancheros Benedict. They're out of this world.

The 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

All the small plates we had for dinner were crazy-good, best meal in weeks: devils on horseback, tuna crudo, diver scallops, arepas, lamb sliders

Coconut ginger fizz, vegan food and gluten free- all organic. Great local spot. Quaint atmosphere. Need reservation.
Kell Peplau-KaiserAugust 25, 2014
Blood 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.

Chef Daniel Asher hosts a monthly raw dinner, if you really love vegetables. Drinks are super awesome too. Don't you dare miss those. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Outrageous food. So so good, great atmosphere too. Teeeeny bit expensive, but totally worth it. I had something called Karashi chicken or something. OUTRAGEOUS

Try 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, 2015
They have a great selection of CO brews on tap. Farm-to-table delicious food. Highly recommend the Lamb sliders and duck wings.

Everything I've had the pleasure to enjoy here has been delicious! Love the staff, love the food, love the atmosphere!
Brian InderwiesMarch 18, 2012
This 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, 2014
Everything is good here! This place requires a reservation because of the popularity, the food is always fresh and recipes are unique.
Tricia TolarSeptember 16, 2013
Delicious shareable plates. Most everything is locally grown or flown in fresh (like the salmon). Lots of gluten-free options. Great service!
AmateurConciergeOctober 19, 2022
Good cocktails, cool gastropubby vibe and crowd pleasing food. Lamb sliders were fantastic
Claire SchlessingerJuly 23, 2016
Tofu korma is absolutely amazing. Sorrel gnocchi is yummy and burrata tomato salad is unique and super flavorful
Erin RobbinsOctober 15, 2018
The zucchini poblano pepper soup is awesome and the Sunday dinner is a great deal - three courses for $35!

The Colombian Arepas may be the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!!!
jolene parkAugust 16, 2011
A 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, 2016
Everything has delicious flavors! Staff are very attentive. Treat you real nice. Can't wait to try again! Share some scallops!

Everything! But must try the Arepas ! And loved the Kale Salad.

This place is great! Get here as soon as you can, you will not regret it I promise! Mimosas are pretty good too :)
DenverPostJuly 5, 2011
Very 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

Really great place. Very crowded, even on a Thursday night, so make a reservation unless you are ok at the bar.
