    Ryan did a great job taking care of us for a friends birthday party! From the start he gave us an entire run down of the restaurant, the menu, and the best ways to order. We decided on family style so we could try a bit of everything (it is hard to choose) and we were all satisfied (and very full)! Will be back again for sure!

    Excellent experience as always! We return again and again to Root Down for great food and great service. On this visit, we were mired in traffic and I was petrified we would miss our reservation by a long shot. I texted the restaurant and they texted right back with assurances they would save us a seat. What a relief! Every staff member knows the menu and can make recommendations and they kindly checked for food allergies. What a great place to eat when you're in Denver! We try to get there at least once per year.
