Really lovely all vegan place that I visited twice while I was in Denver…read more Between my two visits, I got the gnocchi with sweet potato sauce, the Cuban sandwich, ginger beer, and the giant chocolate chip cookie. All of it was really great, but I think the gnocchi was my favorite of the two entrees. The ginger beer is not super gingery, tastes like Fevertree. The chocolate chip cookie with sea salt is an absolute must! It comes wrapped so I took mine back to the hotel to share with my non-veg husband after he got back from his work conference dinners and he said they were the best chocolate chip cookies he'd ever had! Also, I think it's fun that the plates are made to look like wood, but aren't. The first time I came it had been pouring rain, so the restaurant wasn't as full and it was very easy to find an open table, but the second time it was positively packed, and both times were week nights, so I suspect this place is pretty popular with the locals. I like that the ordering is done through QR code and website, since that would make it easy for groups and means you don't have to all know what you want at the same time (or, if dining solo as I was, you don't need to interact as much with staff, which is sometimes a blessing). Several members of the staff wore face masks, which I appreciated, and there were some nice paintings on the walls from local artists for sale. If I am ever in Denver again, I think I would really like to come back here--and I'd definitely get the chocolate chip cookie every time!

Came here for a solo lunch on a Tuesday-- it was later in the afternoon and they weren't too busy …read more The decor is clean and welcoming (lots of wood & artwork). You seat yourself and have a choice to order with the QR code or go up to the counter. It being my first time I went up to the counter to get some additional recommendations. I went with the side buffalo cauliflower & the chicken Caesar salad. Both were fresh, had lots of flavor and filling-- highly recommend. When closing out my tab at the counter, I picked up a chocolate chip cookie togo (extra large in size and just the right about of sweetness). With the menu so unique I prefer a little more "hands on service" but the experience was tasty and eager to come back and try other things. Clean, homemade, high quality vegan food with lots of GF options/ substitution-- Highly recommend.

3 stars for poor service: My partner and I sat at the bar and were greeted by Rodger, one of the…read morebartender staff with blonde hair and a mustache, who immediately started chastising us for putting a sweatshirt on an empty chair. Started off the evening with completely the wrong energy. Throughout the evening, we noticed Rodger barking orders at other staff, and at one point blowing his nose into a napkin before immediately returning to make a drink without washing his hands. We were thankful for Lauren and Cody for recognizing the situation and trying their best to overcome it. Management was hardly present which seems to be normal given how rudely we were treated from the start. Despite Rodger's service, the food was cooked well.

Linger was one of the…read morefirst restaurants I ever went to when I moved to Denver, and El Five has always been one of my favorites too, so I finally made it to Root Down and honestly... another win. The space feels very Root Down in the best way. Funky, artsy, a little mid century, but still comfortable and not trying too hard. Then the food starts showing up and suddenly the whole table is passing plates around because everyone keeps saying "wait, try this." We ordered a bunch of things and the smoked carrots were probably the biggest surprise for me. I would absolutely go back just to eat those again. The masa birria, diver scallops, and grilled artichokes and asparagus were all great too. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly and came with duck fat potatoes, which immediately puts me in a good mood. Dessert also fully delivered. The banana cream pie with black sesame whip was one of those desserts where you keep going back for another bite even when you're already full. It just felt like a really thoughtful meal from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite dinners I've had in a while.

The potstickers are good as always, especially the pork ones! The soup dumplings are also recommended! In case you like vinegar, they don't provide it here with their ponzu sauce, FYI! The cashier/server was very nice and patient as well! Overall, I recommend giving this place a try if you're in the mood for yummy fried dumplings!

Went to West Saloon & Kitchen for dinner after a Rockies game and ended up trying the French onion…read morelamb sliders and the elk meatball linguine. Both sounded different from the usual downtown menu options, so we figured we'd give them a shot. The sliders were rich but not overly heavy, and the onions added a lot without overpowering the lamb. I actually liked the linguine more than I expected since the meatballs were tender and the pasta wasn't drowning in sauce. Service stayed consistent through the night even after the dinner crowd picked up. Our server checked on timing for the kitchen and kept drinks refilled without hovering around the table too much. Nice atmosphere for a slower dinner with friends.

City O City has more of a bar vibe to me than a restaurant vibe, which I hadn't been expecting (and perhaps contributed to the awkwardness I felt, as I have always been a tee-totaler and thus have next to no time spent in bar environments). I was seated relatively close to the bar itself, as well. It was a bit loud for mousy ol' me, but the other patrons seemed to be really enjoying it, so if that's your scene, this place will be great for you! It seemed clean, too, so no sticky bar table problems, and the waitress I interacted with was friendly and helpful. I wanted to try the poutine and the barbacoa mushroom tacos, and decided last minute to try one of the non-alcoholic cocktails, I think it was called something like a sidecar with a number? (I don't know any real drink equivalents and kinda picked at random.) The poutine was decadent and filling, with a pretty good melty vegan cheese curd, and the mushroom tacos were smoky and light. The mocktail was interesting and not sweet (which is what I was looking for), with a pleasant citrus bitterness. Overall definite A+ on the food I had, but I think I would want to come with my husband or friends if I am in the area again, because it does feel a little strange sitting alone in there.

We were seated at a quiet table past the bar. I appreciated that there was a bit of music playing for atmosphere, but that it wasn't playing so loudly that you couldn't have a conversation. I had the braised short rib, and my wife had the belly-on pork chop. Both were fantastic! Special mention of our server, Jenna.

As a bacon lover, this sandwich felt like home. I was really pleased they opt for a savory tofu as the protein option on this sandwich, as I prefer tofu to tempeh for all reasons. Each food item on their vegetarian and plant-forward menu comes with a side salad dressed in this incredible, light vinaigrette. I dream of that dressing. Top it off with delicious beverage options, and a welcoming and sunlight-drenched interior, ugh! Love this spot. I'll be back soon!

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW…read more while we didn't have time to order anything off the actual menu (GF or GFO clearly marked), we followed the many other previous reviews' recommendations to get the donuts. They only had one when we went, a pistachio vanilla, and a separate GF cookie option. The GF items are in the same case as the vegan / vegetarian items, but the GF items are Saran wrapped. The donut was very tasty with wonderful flavor, but it was more of a mini bundt cake texture than a donut. Both of our lattes were also very good! I did not get sick, and would love to come back and try some of their actual menu items sometime.
