    We ate small plates to share. We had the albacore, gnocchi and scallops finished with rhubarb strawberry shortcake. Everybite was fantastic. Just love this place.

    All dishes were tasty and delicious. Portion sizes did not disappoint especially when it came to to the bottomless mimosas! Service was outstanding and very personable.

    The best part of the meal for me was the beet salad with greens and cheese. The dressing made all the ingredients zing with flavor. My day and I also enjoyed the scallops well prepared and tasty

    Server wasn’t great. He was kind of rude. They didn’t check up on us. I’d go elsewhere next time I’m visiting Denver.

    It's been a few years since I went to Root Down, and it was as good as I remember, such a delicious menu! It's back on my go-to list again!

    Service was over the top excellent. The manager was engaged and helpful (which is not something I typically see) and our server was fantastic. Food was very good, as expected. The price point is the only thing that brings this rating down... a bit pricey by comparison.
