husband thought his tofu was "really good" and said that it was "nicely encrusted". The girls we were with shared diver sea scallops and meatballs, and thought both were fantastic. I started with the parsnip soup, which was the worst thing we ordered. It was topped with fried black quinoa, which I did not care for at all, and crispy butternut squash, which completely lost all of its flavor. I made the mistake of stirring it all together, and was disappointed with the weird mixture of textures. Absolutely would not order that again. I also had the Columbian Apresas (I think that's what they were called), which reminded me of the fried corn patty appetizer things from the Cheesecake Factory. They had a nice bit of spice and a bit of avocado, but I found them a bit too thin and a bit too tough. Overall, not too bad, and even good at times. Complimentary valet parking was a nice bonus. Nothing about the interior spoke to me, and the red heat lamp on the side of the kitchen actually tu
rned me off. I've been to many farm to table, local-fresh, put kale on the menu-types of places (isn't that what all the cool kids are doing these days?), and this just wasn't up to par with the norm. Me writing this review is pointless. As you can see, any place with 1400 reviews and 4.5 stars probably knows what's up. Definitely come eat here for a creative and quintessential Denver experience. Sunday is their "Restaurant Week" menu, which is a 3 course meal with different offerings. I really do recommend doing this as it was delicious and creative. Each plate has several components and is plated beautifully. My friend and I both got the spinach ricotta gnocchi and sous vide pork tenderloin. For dessert we got one of each, a fruit "cobbler" with a sorbet in a cute mini mason jar (ahhh coyingly sweet) and a chocolate semifreddo. DEFINITELYYYYYY get the chocolate semifreddo. Hands down, the two don't even compare. If you aren't able to go on a Sunday, try their amazing looking Happy
Hours. The coconut ginger lime fizz is bomb. Sit at the bar if you can- their bartenders are phenomenally organized and fun to watch. (Plus they mix drinks in beakers and use one massive ice cube instead of a bunch of small ones Service is dynamite- probaby some of the most genuine service I've seen with people actually caring how your experience is. Trent is absolutely awesome, but I think all of the staff is warm and professional, from food runners to bartenders and managers. Reservation? Yesssssss. I love me some Root Down brunch (have probably been about 10 times since moving here this year!). But today it was a miss for Root Down standards. The food itself was solid --- got the fried chicken and goat cheese biscuits while my girlfriend tried the banana bread french toast. Both were heavy (fine by me); the french toast is actually deep fried! We also got the starter pastry of a cinnamon toast panini with caramel sauce. This was not as great as their other pastry offerings
--- was mediocre raisin toast with sweet sauce on it. The biggest miss was the service. We had reservations at 1215 and were seated promptly (excellent). We then waited 10 minutes to be offered water, and another
