This place is such a vibe. The interior is so funky, I love it. The food was superb! Ahh
The mushroom herb omelette was to die for and the chicken was delish! I also enjoyed a coconut water beverage which was amazeballs. I highly recommend. It was worth the wait time.

Denver never stops surprising me!
Root down is an amazing restaurant - they really understand flavors. They have unconventional combinations in their dishes - but they all work. Splendidly!!
I’d the carrot cake French toast - OMG! It was one of the very best french toasts that I’ve had! 😋😋😋
And they’d a vegan custard made of Tofu and coconut milk - I never get to eat dessert since the vast majority of them have dairy in them. And, when I do get vegan options they’re not very good. But the miso caramel custard was heavenly! I loved the umami of the miso coming through a dessert topped with chewy ginger candy, crunchy sage leaves and crispy apples! Sigh!! 😋😋
My partner had the breakfast burrito - it was delicious too! We also ordered a side of vegetarian green chili - also yummy! 🙂
One thing though - all of us in our group weren’t very impressed with our drinks. I’d ordered the coconut ginger fizz and it ended up being too heavy on the lime for my taste. But the bartender was kind enough to remake the drink for me, which I subsequently liked - as the drink was a bit unique and I liked the play of those flavors.
And a huge shout out to our waitress - Grace! A real sweetheart! 😊
If you’re in Denver - go here!! Just plan ahead and get on their waiting list! We didn’t call/book ahead and had to wait for ~40 minutes! But the food was worth it.

My daughter and I went for Xmas eve brunch and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, bottomless mimosas were ok so we ordered a bottle of Prosecco 😊 The cranberry bliss bar was DELICIOUS. Good service & atmosphere!! Will definitely go back!!
We have dined here before and enjoyed it. We did takeout for the first time and were a bit shocked at how little food we received especially considering how much it cost. This was 62$ for two entrees. One of us would have been hungry after eating both. We had cook our own meal and this ended up being an appetizer on a night we did not plan to cook.
Service isn't super speedy, but it doesn't need to be. I guess it's all part of the slow food movement.
The menu is sensitive to food allergies and tolerances, such as gluten free, vegan, though they do to not have a designation specifically for dairy free. Lots of their items have dairy.
I arrived between 6 and 6:30 with lots of seats available. By the time I left, the place had filled up. Menu is not extensive, but just about everything sounded good, tasty n healthy. I ordered Pan Fried Chicken with Polenta and Brussel Sprouts with a dollop of Creme Fraiche on top. It was good and I ate it all. Skin on outside was crispy, not flabby.
For dessert I ordered a Chocolate Truffle for $2, as all other desserts had dairy, which I don't want. I also ordered Espresso with a twist of lemon peel, which went great with Truffle.
Everything here is clean - the food, the bench seat and table, the bathrooms, the kitchen...
Kind of expensive - $67 for just me, but I'd return.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Menu was versatile, yet intentional. I had the Rockfish Tom Gha, my friend had the NY strip, off the summer menu. We also had the ginger coco fizzes (coconut milk, ginger syrup, sparkling water). All were delicious. Would return to try the cocktails, highly recommend
The food was absolutely fantastic - flavors, textures, presentation, everything! Service was beyond compare as well, and the atmosphere was elevated casual and fun. Our party of six diners for Sunday brunch truly enjoyed our meal at Root Down. Next time we'll have dinner - looking forward to that!
