"My husband and I visited Roots on a weeknight and found ourselves to be the only patrons in the restaurant for the entire evening. The waitstaff was inattentive, only checking on us when bringing out food, and we had to ask for more water. The food was disappointing - my husband ordered meat dishes, I ordered vegan options, and we also shared some vegan dishes. We were both unimpressed. The menu at Roots resembled that of other well-known restaurants in Denver, but the dishes lacked flavor, quality, and creativity. The house-made hummus and brussel sprouts were decent, but the heavy reliance on deep-fried dishes for the vegan options was disappointing. The desserts were a letdown, with the chocolate cake tasting freezer-burned and the Swedish cheesecake lacking in taste. Overall, we felt we spent too much money on a mediocre meal and are unlikely to return."
