    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.

    I had the cabbage wedge salad and the kadhi pakora. I know there are kings that have not had a meal as good as this was.

    Risotto and arepas were amazing. Cowboy bacon was also to die for. Cocktail list does not disappoint as well. Great experience!

    Everything was delicious! Our waitress worked with us to make sure re we got exactly what we wanted. I appreciate this restaurant so much because I can’t do garlic and they always try to find things that I can eat that are garlic free! Definitely one of my favorite Denver restaurants!
