    Banana Cream Pie
    Bri M.

    Good, service, ambiance- all exceptional! The food was so well prepared. I think my favorite thing was the beet salad and the risotto! We may have almost tried the entire menu. The pictures do it enough justice! The dessert was actually maybe my favorite instead- I could have eaten a tub of that banana cream pie. Then rolled around in it. Spectacular.

    Was very impressed & could tell that everything they served was very thoughtful. Not typically drawn to vegetable forward meals, but this is the exception!

    Prob my favorite place to eat in the Denver airport. And I don't like eating in airports. This place always has ample seating so you if need a break between flights and a meal it's a good place to stop. The food is absolutely delicious with really big portions but that also comes with a heavy price tag as most airport restaurants do. The service is also exceptional here and you won't be waiting long for anything you need. It can get packed from time to time. Normally I avoid eating at the airport at all cost but if I must I don't mind stopping in here

    Went for Valentine's dinner where they had a special menu for couples. What a delicious evening of great food, service, and wine pairing. Unique menu items for Valentine's dinner was worth it. Definitely save room for dessert, they had great options!

    Great tasting food with healthier options. Decent prices considering the quality! Quick service and something for everyone. I'd definitely recommend eating here!

    Super cozy and welcoming spot in Denver. My friend and I walked in on a Sunday evening and were able to get seated without a reservation. Their bar area is beautiful and we enjoyed our dinner sitting there. I started with their bean salad which was super fresh and had a lovely vinaigrette. We then shared their brussel sprouts, gnocchi and scallops. All of which had unique flavors and tasted fresh. I also really enjoyed my ginger/coconut mocktail! We ended the night with amazing chocolate chip cookies and a scoop of ice cream. Service was perfect and we would definitely come back.

    Roasted Baby Beet Salad
    Dionne V.

    This was not what I expected but was quite surprised. The setting is rustic modern with a sense of high end dining but in a casual way. The bar was prevalent to the right as we entered. We were coming from an event and didn't have a reservation. Though the place was relatively empty likely they had space reserved and we were sat at the back of the bar in an awkwardly positioned "booth". The party sitting as we were sat decided to leave before ordering. Looking at the menu I noticed a beet salad and my sister loves beets so I figured she would be okay. The menu is select but a choice for all diets, but limited. My sister had the beet salad and I ordered the chicken opting to not take the waitresses suggestions. The food was surprisingly well seasoned and tasted good. We both ate all of our food with the highlight being the bread appetizer. This is more suited to those who are foodies. Not a steak and potatoes kind of place. Bring your refined palette

    Veggie Burger Sliders
    Erin W.

    For me, Root Down was just OK. We went for brunch and the menu had lots of allergy friendly food for my friend. The cocktails looked great, but I stuck with coffee and Diet Coke (which came in a carafe). The food I will say was pretty average, the veggie burger sliders were OK but the sweet potato tots were yummy. Don't care too much to come back here but was a fun environment for a birthday brunch!

    Twas delicious. Loved how creative the dishes were, service was attentive. We sat outside which was nice, in a covered area. Best meal I had in Denver.

    Loved this place! Very cute spot in LoHi, i had no issues finding street parking and the ambiance is nice inside. They had an amazing menu with extensive tasting options great for sharing. The drinks were so yummy and unique, we love a good craft cocktail. I believe i tried the dazed and confused and one other mezcal cocktail - both were unique and delicious, and decently strong! We tried the lamb burger sliders - amazing! And the sweet potato tater tots, also delicious. Really interesting with the sweetness. We tried the aguachile appetizer. The fish was fresh but i wasn't blown away by the flavors and textures on that one. We opted for the strip steak which was also good and cooked well but i don't think i would order it again. The apps are where it's at for sure. The service was great, can't remember my servers name now but she was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back and try more plates.

    Seared Colombian Arepas
    Mandy L.

    I literally came from KC just for their banana cream pie... it has always been my favorite dessert... and theirs is hands down the best I have ever had. And honestly... everything else on the menu is fantastic too. The arepas are one of my must-order items every time I am in town.

    Ask the Community - Root Down

    Do they have ramen at this location like at the airport?

    Was at this location less than a month ago and there was not a ramen item on the menu. They do however have a "chefs special" menu that is presented once you sit that I assume rotates around.. but cannot guarantee ramen would be on there.

    Reservations for brunch?

    You can make reservations for brunch. I would suggest making reservations since the seating is limited and brunch on the weekends is very popular.

    Are there heat lamps outside?

    Yes!

    I have a severe peanut and shellfish allergy. Can Root Down accommodate those allergies?

    HI - I have a shellfish allergy and they have handled that well. I assume that they can also handle peanut allergies. I have a high degree of confidence, respect and admiration for their kitchen. We dine there a few times each year.

    Is there a corkage fee?

    Root Down does not allow any outside alcohol.

    Are the outdoor heaters strong enough to keep you warm on a moderately cold winter evening?

    I have not sat outside yet... but being naturally cold and a native, I always tend to dress warmer just in case.

    Is it dog friendly for the patio? And are there heaters?

    Heaters yes, dogs no. It's such a bummer

    Do they serve breakfast/brunch?

    Yes, they have brunch on Sat/Sun

    Are bottomless mimosas served during a Sunday brunch?

    Yes, bottomless mimosas are offered during both Saturday and Sunday Brunch!

    Do they do takeout?

    Pretty sure I saw someone picking up a to-go order last time we were there.

    Will Root Down be open November 23rd?

    Why not call them and ask?

    Do they do gluten free?

    Yes! And they do it very well!

    When is brunch? Only on Fri, Sat, Sun?

    Friday, Saturday and Sunday...according to my experience and their website.

    Do they deliver?

    No they don't

    Are dogs allowed on the outdoor patio?

    Yes, it's suppose to be Dog Friendly establishment. I've been to happy hours and lunch on Fridays, never have actually seen a dog there. Call and ask they are really decent to deal with.

    I cannot believe it took as long as it did to get here. To be fair we did try a couple times and…read morethe parking was so packed we couldn't find a spot. All pointing to an excellent experience. The timing was right for my husband and I to come for a Sunday lunch. The service was fast and friendly. We started with potato sliders that were really good but not as good as our main courses. My husband opted for the lamb tiki masala and I opted for the eggplant (Baingan Bharta) Thali meal. The dal soup and spiced potatoes that came in the Thali were incredible. My favorite part was the chai though. I cannot drink milk and the alternative was oat milk. This was one of the best chais I have had in my life. So so good.

    Ordered: Thali w Butter Chicken (~$24): served with…read morestreet-style chaat, garlic naan (+50¢), rice, dal soup, jeera potatoes, dessert (rice pudding), and soft drink Lamb Biryani (~$17): spiced rice, marinated lamb, vegetables, nuts, and spices; served with raita (yogurt sauce) Aya's take: I was craving Indian food during my recent trip to Denver and came across Spice Room. The Thali caught my eye as it's essentially a traditional platter with a variety of balanced small plates from rice to potatoes to dal soup and even dessert all on a single tray. I got it with Butter Chicken which was so good! Highly recommend as it was creamy, medium spicy, and very aromatic. I absolutely loved the street-style chaat! It's creamy, crunchy, cold, and loaded with flavors and textures. Such a satisfying bite and I almost couldn't stop until it was gone. I love that this Thali came with both rice & naan as I usually want both and can't decide lol! The rice was fluffy and aromatic from the cumin while the garlic naan was fresh, soft, and delicately brushed with garlic & parsley. I didn't care for the dal soup (bit too watery) or the jeera potatoes (bit undercooked) but the dessert was a nice way to end the meal. Their options included rice pudding and gulab jamun; I went with the "healthier" option lol. It was creamy, sweet, and cooled down my palate after the various dishes. The Lamb Biryani was another good try! The lamb chunks were tender and seasoned, the rice was aromatic, and it paired well with the onions and raita (yogurt sauce). This definitely satisfied my craving and I'm glad I stopped by before the long day I had ahead!
