Really pleasant atmosphere, outdoor dining was actually nice and warm. Food was great. Only thing is we had to wait to be seated for while even though we had a reservation and then our waitress took a little long to take our order but they made it up by getting us a free delicious appetizer. Overall a positive experience.
We were married on the first and chose root down as our post wedding celebration location. Due to covid there were only three of us. We were seated in an outdoor greenhouse with a space heater which was cozy and pleasant and given a small bottle of hand sanitizer for our table. Covid precautions were excellent. The food was amazing! We are pescatarians and there were plenty of options and everyone was very pleased and well satiated at the conclusion of our meal. We will be back for sure!
They have a smaller brunch menu right now but it did not disappoint. Just as delicious as always!
The food was AMAZING !!! We went for brunch and everything we got was delicious and it was also locally sourced which is always a plus. The wait staff was super nice. Highly recommend!
It is a good restaurant and has a nice view on the balcony
Warm options for outdoor seating. Lots of gluten free options and very attentive to food allergies ! Delicious food, cocktails and friendly service. Felt safe and comfortable.
Good was spectacular. Root Down will be one of my go to’s. The only reason for the 3 stars on ambiance is that it was very cold and COVID prohibited inside dining. Go for the food and excellent service.
Went for post Christmas brunch. The huevos rancheros were deliciously satisfying. Don’t forget the bottomless mimosa’s.
We were able to sit in one of the plastic tents on the patio, and it was great. As always the food is delicious at root down, and the servers are very personable.
Amazing food and drinks! Definitely a pricey spot for a simple brunch, but loved the food and service.
It was truly such an amazing experience. It was my first time there and it was perfect. Will definitely be there again!
Their drinks are severely lacking. Considering it was 40% of my $220 check, I’d expect something more than a child sized and watery old fashioned. Otherwise, this place is fire. The food was amazing. We got carried away with talking and catching up after three years separated and from outta town but the host was very adamant about us leaving after overstaying our welcome by thirty mins. She tried to do it nicely. Ruined my moon considering they had a dirty table right behind us for several mins and only one small party waiting up front when we left. But I get it, they were trying to flip tables and keep up with reservations. All she had to do was ask if I’d like to buy more drinks. My alcohol bill was likely more than the late night snack and night cap anybody else would be getting at that hour. I understand that language...gotta pay to park. Anyways, won’t let it ruin a fantastic outing with old friend and great food on a coincidental crossing. I just regret not getting cobbler!
Food and service were outstanding, even on the patio during COVID. A GREAT place to celebrate our 20th Anniversary!!!
Great place and the food is very fresh! There are so many other items on the menu that I want to try!
Overall star rating isn’t a reflection of the food or our server but rather the very rude manager. We sat outside in the plastic bubble and had a lovely meal.
Our bubble had a rip in the back panel and ended up also tearing by the zipper in the “entrance” flap. When the manager came over he was very passive aggressive and asked us “what happened” ... very clearly the cheap plastic had ripped.
When we were leaving, we asked if it was an issue and if he wanted us to do anything, he refused to make eye contact and continued his passive aggressive comments.
Great food, great service but really awful manager. Definitely put a damper on an otherwise wonderful morning.
The waiter was incredibly accommodating and the food was so delicious. Chicago native and this is now immediately one of my favorite brunch places.
Everything was great as usual! 5 ⭐️
Playing explicit rap music very loudly.... doesn’t seem like the place to play that kind of music! The little plastic hutches were cute but the heater barely kept it warm. Good drinks amazing food.
Shocked by the bill... not worth hundreds of dollars. Just a regular night out, upcharged to the max. Wouldn’t recommend for your typical night out.
The atmosphere was nice and cozy outside with the outdoor heaters and the food and drinks were great as usual.
Root Down has adapted well to the pandemic restrictions and still provides excellent food and service.
Used to be one of our favorites but I am not sure what happened this time around. The flavors were not as great as usual. Even things that have been on the menu forever were different and tasted a bit off. Hoping this was just a one-off experience.
This was our 2nd visit. They let us sit outside under a heater and we enjoyed our friends for 3 hours! Service was great. Cocktails are creativ, wine list was good. We were there for Restaurant Week . The menu choices were really great, compared to many other menus I looked at. They had many regular items. We loved everything we had. Beet salad, Devils on Horseback, Curry Soup, Chicken, Rockfish and Pork entrees, and all three desserts. The 4 of us loved it all!
We went to Root Down to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect!!
Amazing, creative dishes, super friendly staff and great atmosphere!
The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding! We went for restaurant week right before the ban of indoor dining and we're so happy that we did. It was a great way to enjoy a final meal indoors for who knows how long.
Delicious, we will come back to try other items on the menu!
Always excellent food quality, & presentation... very clean, strong attention to detail regarding safety... ease of reservations & seating... thank you!!!!
Great food and great service! Bummed we were limited to the 1 hr 30 min time limit, but everything else was amazing.
Birthday dinner was all around fabulous. Amazing server, food, mocktail, dessert, etc.
Such amazing dinner and service! Everything reminded me why I used to come here a few years ago! Returning this week. Keep it up.
Great overall dining experience!
* Very innovative and interesting menu selection
* Very attentive staff
* We loved the interior design and ambiance
Fantastic dinner! Loved the carrot & red Thai curry soup and the Moroccan chicken particularly.
Great vegan options and portions. Presentation and flavor of dishes was impressive.
We had a great time here. The outdoor seating was well heated and comfortable. The food was very tasty and the staff were super friendly. We look forward to coming back again!
My husband and I were visiting from out of town and were looking for a delicious, gluten free restaurant. Root Down was highly rated and was listed as a “must do” on so many travel blogs. I can see why. We had wonderful service, delicious food, and an attentive server. Next time we are in the Denver area we will visit again!
We had a very tasty brunch.
an explosion of flavors in your mouth. almost went back again for dinner
Great atmosphere....amazing small plates. The entrée was slow to arrive and not as tasty...a little dry. But otherwise a great joint to eat at.
Rootdown never disappoints. Great food, sat on the patio, delicious drinks and an amazing server who did not lead us astray.
