Root Down

Service isn't super speedy, but it doesn't need to be. I guess it's all part of the slow food movement. The menu is sensitive to food allergies and tolerances, such as gluten free, vegan, though they do to not have a designation specifically for dairy free. Lots of their items have dairy. I arrived between 6 and 6:30 with lots of seats available. By the time I left, the place had filled up. Menu is not extensive, but just about everything sounded good, tasty n healthy. I ordered Pan Fried Chicken with Polenta and Brussel Sprouts with a dollop of Creme Fraiche on top. It was good and I ate it all. Skin on outside was crispy, not flabby. For dessert I ordered a Chocolate Truffle for $2, as all other desserts had dairy, which I don't want. I also ordered Espresso with a twist of lemon peel, which went great with Truffle. Everything here is clean - the food, the bench seat and table, the bathrooms, the kitchen... Kind of expensive - $67 for just me, but I'd return.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Menu was versatile, yet intentional. I had the Rockfish Tom Gha, my friend had the NY strip, off the summer menu. We also had the ginger coco fizzes (coconut milk, ginger syrup, sparkling water). All were delicious. Would return to try the cocktails, highly recommend

Root Down is a great place to go for a delicious and innovative dining experience in Denver. They have a warm and inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and a great selection of cocktails, beer, and wine. The food is always fresh and delicious, and some of the popular dishes include the roasted cauliflower with harissa yogurt, the grilled branzino with fennel, and the crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon jam. I would highly recommend Root Down to anyone looking for a great meal in Denver.

Really great food and service! Plenty of vegetarian options. One thing I found a little uneasy, they have one patio that is dog friendly but only allow the dog to outside of the that patio? I found that a little odd or maybe I'm just not used to it? Just keep that in mind if you do plan to bring your furry little friend.
