d needed to be cooked longer for more flavor. Pretty standard ribs IMO. Frontiere Bison Meatballs ($12) - 2.5 STARS: Cauliflower-Potato Pur??e, Cranber ries, Curried Brown Butter, Parmigiano Reggiano, Sage Pesto & Porcini Jus. It sounded like pure heaven but the ingredients tasted confusing and superfluous. It had a surprising amount of gaminess. Brussels Sprouts & Kale V/GF ($11) - 5 STARS: Tender Belly Bacon, Quicos, Pecorino, Compressed Apple, Fried Sweet Potatoes, & Roasted Garlic Vin. I could probably eat this single dish every day for the rest of my life, and I'm not a salad person. There was so much flavor and texture packed into this bowl of kale. Overall, interesting seasonal rotating menu, and love the concepts. Great place for happy hour but if I had a single meal in Denver to enjoy I'd pick a different place. Blown away by Root Down! A friend and I went for 5280 Restaurant Week and when we walked up, we realized it is a converted auto body shop, so clever! We made a r
eservation which I recommend. We split the Brussel Sprout and Kale Salad and Sweet Potato Falafel for our first course and lemme tell you, I never thought gettin yo greens could ever taste so good! The falafel were flaky and came with a yummy lemon tahini yogurt. I didn't want the first course to end! Good thing the second course was just as delectable! My friend ordered the Grilled Salmon Creek Pork Loin and I had the Country Fried Tofu. I'm normally not a fan of tofu, but the way they prepared it was mouth-watering. I probably ate a bit too much because I couldn't get enough! We split the Two Mountain Hidden Horse Red Blend which was on special for 5280 and it complemented both meals nicely! I cannot wait until I can pay a visit for brunch because if it's half as good as the dinner, my tummy will be pleased! ...Ok I finally made it in for brunch and can we say wow?? The bottomless mimosas come in a pint glass (as all mimosas should!) and the blood orange mimosa was my absolute fav
orite! I ordered the Veggie Sliders and Sweet Potato Fries and both were packed full of flavor! I will definitely be making a reservation next time as there was a bit of a wait and bringing a big group here in the future will definitely require one. Cannot wait to visit again! I want to sit down and have a little chat with those of you with less than spectacular reviews of this place. Because I cannot imagine anyone not falling in love once they've experienced the dinner I had last night. First of all, let's talk about the fact that this building was an old mechanic shop or something along those lines. And who doesn't love a little historic preservation? Next, it's worth mentioning that the drinks are original and oh so flavorful. We had reservations at 8 but the table before us didn't actually leave until about 830 so we had some time to sip on some drinks while we waited. They were so good that I honestly didn't even mind... but come on people. You can't just hang out at a table f
or 3 hours on a Friday night. Have some manners. Sorry. I'm getting off track.
