I recently had the good fortune to not only go out to brunch for the first time (yes, ever…shh.), but also to enjoy quite a tasty meal at Root Down in the Highlands neighborhood in Denver.

The overall feel and atmosphere of the restaurant is one that enables diners to feel equally comfortable in jeans and t-shirts or button down shirt and khakis.
