Root Down
How to book: DAYS for weekend dinner and brunch — reserve ahead; brunch is popular. Confirm current hours and brunch timing on the official site.
Best meal: Dinner or weekend brunch — the seasonal farm-to-table menu (strong vegetarian options alongside meat/ fish) is the draw.
Who it’s NOT for: Diners wanting a classic meat-and-potatoes menu — it's seasonal, veg-forward, globally influenced (though not vegetarian-only). Anyone wanting a quiet, formal room — the converted-gas-station space is design-heavy and buzzy. Deep-budget diners — it's a mid-to-upscale neighborhood price point. Travelers who won't leave downtown — it's in LoHi, across the river (a short hop/rideshare).
