    Our dinner at G&G met and exceeded all expectations. I'd read the reviews and it truly lived up to the hype. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and worked incredibly well together. The food and drinks were the best we've had. My guy is a huge steak fan through and through, but don't sleep on the cod. We shared the choice ribeye, the wagyu filet, and the cod after having an incredible valentine's started with king crab. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience from start to finish.

    Went to Yard bird for Valentine’s Day. Started with the Deviled eggs, they had two kinds so got both. These deviled eggs were mind blowing good. I had a dream about this meal that night it was that good. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits, short ribs, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. They might have been the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve tried places all over Denver and would consider myself a good judge of food. This is hands down the best food I’ve ever had in Denver and that’s saying a lot. All the food was so good I’m leaving a review and I never leave reviews. It’s pricey but absolutely worth it. You could easily spend more money in Denver and not get this quality. Thank you yardbird for making my evening.

    The food was delicious and visually a work of art as presented on the plate. We went for Valentine's day, and Root Down created the perfect atmosphere to celebrate love. The service was amazing, and the staff were super helpful, attentive, and had a wonderful positive energy. I forgot to ask the name of our server, but she was excellent, as was Grace, who helped us make sure our reservation was perfect.
