    Great food and service as always. We really appreciated the staff taking food restrictions (allergy) seriously too - you can’t always tell what’s in a dish based on the description and their extra effort to check full ingredient lists and swap out sauces was 💜. Thanks and we’ll continue to come back.

    We took visitors from Napa and they loved one of our favorite local restaurants. Food was delicious and service was on point. Great experience for all involved.

    The Rockfish was a tasty explosion in my mouth! Hands down the best entree I have had at the top restaurants in Denver! The arepa was amazing as well. It was a deconstructed presentation, and so flavorful!

    I really enjoy this restaurant. Hip and has a great view from the patio. They could expand the wine selection at the bar. But the mixed drinks are good. Again could definitely offer a few more wines.

    We have loved Root Down for years! They always deliver, with amazing food and drinks, and service. We so look forward to every time we are able to come! I like the eclectic decor of the place, but wish they’d get rid of the blurry-photo tabletops they have. They feature weird old 50s foods, and are not particularly appetizing.
