It was gross. For $21!!! I should have sent them back but I was rushing for a flight. My friend had chicken tenders, heavy on the breading. Another friend had a hamburger that looked okay. The fries looked okay. The whole place is kind of dirty. The restaurant looks like you should be able to enter through the doors under their huge sign. No, all those doors are locked. You need to walk into hotel to enter. I saw other people try to enter through front doors and no one even acknowledges your efforts. Do not waste your money here. The airport has much better options, even before you go through security.

After arriving at the Denver airport, I met up with family at the Grill & Vine establishment…read more After walking in, I observed a fair amount of seating and it had a bit of a classy but casual vibe. They had already placed my order (Wagyu Classic Burger) so when I arrived, within a minute after sitting down, they brought it out. The server stuck around until I had arrived before ending her shift - I was told she was an exceptional server! As for the food. The Wagyu burger was delicious - not 100% sure it justified the cost but the service made up for it. The salad was great as well! Thanks!

Farm-to-table prices. Airport convenience food. I understand…read morethat airport restaurants operate in somewhat of a captive market. Travelers have limited options, and restaurants can get away with charging premium prices for convenience. But does that mean quality should go right out the window? I was actually looking forward to eating here after reading about their emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and farm-to-table dining. That's exactly the kind of restaurant I seek out when traveling. And the restaurant itself is beautiful! It's upscale, inviting, and has an atmosphere that makes you think you're about to enjoy a really wonderful dining experience. Everything about the place, from the appearance to the prices, suggests quality. Which, quite frankly, makes what they're serving all the more disappointing. I ordered a chicken entrée for approximately $36, which consisted of one small chicken thigh, stewed tomatoes, peppers, and rice. Unfortunately, the rice was mushy, so I asked to substitute mashed potatoes. One bite and I knew they were instant mashed potatoes. I questioned it, and management confirmed that they were. Seriously? Instant mashed potatoes at a restaurant promoting farm-to-table dining? For $36? I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. What bothers me even more is that somewhere along the line, someone actually thought serving instant mashed potatoes was an acceptable choice for this restaurant. That makes me seriously question whether the people making these decisions understand what farm-to-table dining is supposed to represent. This isn't just about mashed potatoes. It's about the standards you're setting in your kitchen and whether those standards reflect the philosophy you're advertising. If I were running this restaurant, I'd be taking a hard look at who's making those decisions. Because if you're charging premium prices and promoting quality, locally sourced food, how in the world does someone decide that instant mashed potatoes belong on the plate? Now, I do want to give credit where it's due. Our server and management were wonderful. They were gracious, receptive to my feedback, and honest about the potatoes. They explained that they were only four days into launching a new menu and generously removed my meal and drink from the bill. I genuinely appreciated that gesture and their professionalism. But excellent customer service doesn't change the underlying issue. And while I appreciate having my meal comped, I wasn't looking for a free meal. I was looking for a good one. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the people working there clearly care about their guests. Now the food needs to reflect that same level of care. If you're going to promote a farm-to-table philosophy, it should be more than a marketing statement....it should actually show up on the plate.

I have had the Breakfast Arepa and Churro French Toast. Both are excellent. The Breakfast Arepa has a delicious poached egg and achiote hollandaise sauce. The Churro French Toast really tastes like crunchy churros. The serving size is a bit small, but I guess churros are not that big in size themselves. Root Down is definitely one of my favorite airport foods, and time permitting, I buy something here to take it on the plane with me...and be the envy of those around me with mediocre airplane food.

I just spent 3 quality hours in a TEENY cubby just outside this Sky Lounge. Why outside? Because when I landed I had a series of virtual meetings I needed to sit in on, but there was music being piped into the lounge itself and the only way to escape it was by sitting outside the lounge in the little cubicles. Don't pity me...it was perfect. The lounge itself is unpardonably small, but they're still serving up all the Delta perks: hot tasty treats, top-shelf booze, and there's even a bartender MINUS the bar! That's right, some dude just standing in the middle of the walkway kindly offering to make you a drink you could totally pour for yourself because everything is sitting right there. I mean, this might be the smallest lounge I've ever visited in my life, and I'm not mad.

The bar and whole location has been re-modeled. Wow it looks great and the bar now is a whisky bar and has tons of draft local beers and a good selection of canned and bottled products as well. I had a barrel ages Manhattan and it was the best I have ever tasted. They also have Old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon 10 yr and 15 yr which is some of the toughest to find. Give it a try you wont be disappointed. They also have plenty of outlets to plug into while enjoying a great cocktail or bourbon read more
