We were seated in the front window and greeted by our waiter Austin. He reviewed the menu with us and made some very good recommendations. We selected the N.Y. Strip Steak and Lamb Shoulder along with a bottle of Frogs Leap Cab. Chawanmushi was brought to us which is a Japanese Egg appetizer and it was so delicious. We have all had steak before but the way it is cooked here and the presentation is not like any other I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The service provided during the meal is just another thing that they do here that makes the ambience so warm and inviting. Ever time our glasses need a top off they were pouring for us, I never touched the bottle as we ate our meal. For desert we ordered the Butter Cake and the Palisade Peach Cobbler. Both were so delicious every bite was so satisfying. BRECK has so many good places to eat, but the Service, Food and Ambience make Rootstalk a must go for dinner.
Rootstalk was a truly transcendental experience! I went with three of my girlfriends and we were all absolutely blown away the first night that we had to return the second night (just for cocktails, but we wish we could have stayed for dinner too). First of all, the service is second to none. Teddy, who we assume was the manager, was so kind and friendly. He even recognized us the second night that we came in, which was so nice. The bartender, Jacob, was so knowledgeable and patient with us and helping choose our drinks. They were absolutely amazing and top quality! The vibes of the place were also 10 out of 10. We sat at the lively bar for our second night, but our first night was in the downstairs intimate, warm basement. Finally, what everybody's been waiting for... The food! We started off with a flight of bites. You wouldn't believe that all four of us shared each bite, but we were able to, and every next bite was better than the last. They were alllll top-tier. Two of us got the ribeye steak, one of us got the cabbage dish, and one of us got the scallops. Each dish was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. We literally cannot wait to come back the next time we are in town!
The hype is real. We did the Chef's Counter 10 course tasting menu and the wine gal (Alice, from Amevive in Santa Barbara) was in town for the pairing. Flavors were bright. Presentation was clean. Service was kind. Vibe was cool. Loved the Chef's Counter experience. We watched the kitchen churn out quality for 2 hours. Very cool to watch the ballet in action.
My wife and I had a really great experience here this week. First and foremost the service is incredible -- all the staff in the restaurant is working together to make your experience seamless. The food is excellent as well -- highly recommend the bread and hummus app -- so tasty. We also really enjoyed the steak entree. Both our entrees came with excellent accompaniments and were very well executed. Also highly recommend the ice cream sandwich dessert, very tasty. Ambience is a bit loud due to all the hard surfaces, but we hardly noticed.
I can easily say this is one of the best food experiences I've ever had. To be fair, I have not had many tastings in my life, but the flavors I experienced were top-notch. My wife and I sat at the bar and had excellent service from all that interacted with us. The interior is a harmonious mix of historic charm and modern convenience inside a house that was built in late 1800s. The wine and cocktail offerings are extensive and interesting; beer is not as much of a focus here. I look forward to my next visit already!
OK I've had time to mull over my visit, so it won't be as harsh. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 . I was super excited to visit the 2nd of the best of Breck food trifecta and left absolutely disappointed. Super cute restaurant. The evening started with them not remembering the food allergy that I told you about when i submitted your survey, but I digress. We started with a martini and an old fashioned. The martini was tasty but half of it was missing like where's the rest of my drink . Second I had to ask for plates, not sure how you forget but remembered to give them to the table next to me . At this point I'm over it and prefer my experience at raticato. Next strike, you ask us to order everything and you'll course it out but instead you interrupt us mid chew and ask to clear the table for our meals, absolutely unacceptable. How do you rush your customers. I get it's 8pm but you're open until 9:30 and if you're in a rush go home and send a server that wants to be there. Service, service, service. It was absolutely non existent and at a restaurant that isn't McDonalds prices, do better. You never came back to our table and asked if the food came out ok or if we needed more drinks. As a matter of fact, my spouse walked to the bar and ordered their own drink, unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. We couldn't enjoy our meal because the service was so poor and I'd absolutely not return. We had the Halibut, which was tasty but could do without the ro and the chicken dish, which was prepared well. The steak tartare was just ok and the bread and hummus was a good addition. Nah, wouldn't recommend. Please have a conversation with Olivia Z., if she's having a day she needs to exit and not work that day in hospitality. P.s. she also rushed another table that wanted to enjoy the chicken dish but she was too focused on leaving that she told them they should get dessert instead.
My mouth had been watering for another chance to try Rootstalk. Everything was perfect -- superb food, exceptional service and a cozy atmosphere. Food was over the top delicious. Everything was farm fresh, cooked perfectly, presented beautifully and bursting with flavors. The Dungeness Crab bite was delicious, although overpriced and tiny - hardly a real bite. The special swordfish perfect -tender, juicy and flaky. umami. Our server Colleen, is the best. She knew the menu, was efficient, and available whenever needed. The whole front of house staff worked as a superb team. Rootstalk, as you might expect, has a lengthy wine list by the bottle and some good selections by the glass. Chef Vawter continues to impress with his passion for excellence and ability to deliver exceptional dishes.
What a fabulous dinner we had! We went with another couple and we were celebrating both of our anniversaries. To help us celebrate, the Rootstalk staff gave us each a glass of champagne! To start we shared the Esoterra Culinary Garden Summer Salad-it was so delicious and full of flavor. We also split the Cured wild caught king salmon-it had salmon, beets, pastrami slices, horseradish and strawberry-so good! Two of us got the alaskan halibut-with morel mushrooms (love!!!), fava beans, English peas, potato gnocchi and spring onion. It was incredible. My husband had the NY strip with fingerling potatoes, esoterra scallions, morel mushrooms and roast onion fondue. He really loved it and he normally is a ribeye fan. Our other friend had the ricotta cavstelli-foraged chanterelle mushrooms, sweet corn, Australian summer truffle and pecorino. Awesome! We ordered the ice cream sandwich dessert and it was so yummy-different than we expected but we love it so much. Then, for our anniversaries they gave us 2 strawberry sorbets. Everything was so good, can't wait to go back! Olivia was our server and she was fantastic.
Holyyyyyy. This place is unreal. One of my favorite things about high-end restaurants is how they can take seemingly everyday ingredients and completely transform them -- and this spot nailed it. The heirloom tomato dishes were the perfect example of this (yes, there were two!). The first featured heirloom tomatoes with sheep's milk feta and a pine nut shruq sauce -- absolutely divine. The flavors were so intentional, each component lifting the tomatoes to a whole new level. The second was the heirloom tomato toast: crispy bread, a punchy aioli, and fresh, juicy tomatoes -- simple but elevated to perfection. The fried oysters were spot-on -- a perfectly crisp coating giving way to briny, tender oysters inside. The eggplant paillard was another standout, with thoughtful touches of hummus and vinaigrette that gave the dish real depth. The halibut and beef tartare weren't quite as much of a standout for me (though my husband loved the halibut), but they were still excellent. Overall, this spot is an absolute gem in Breckenridge. It makes me so happy to see this level of culinary talent here in Colorado. Huge thanks to the chefs and the team for a 10/10 experience -- from food to service, it was flawless. As far as pricing: not bad at all tbh, we didn't do the set menu, we each got two cocktails and left VERY full and it came out to about $250 total with tax & tip. For one of the best meals of my life / easily best meal in Colorado - this was more than worth it
To start this place was beautiful. The restaurant setup was very nice. Service was amazing, a little extra with the refilling of water to be honest, but overall very good. Nice timing of dishes being served. The food was delicious. We ordered two orders of each "bite" and the tuna small plate with the tartare small plate. Everything was incredible. We would definitely come back here. We celebrated a birthday and it was made very special. Highly recommend rootstalk.
We came to Rootstalk while on a family vacation with my husband's entire extended family. It was our anniversary, and my husband knows that I like very creative and high-end food and so set up this reservation. From the moment we walked in to the moment that we left, the experience was extraordinary. We did the chef's tasting, and every single item that came out was wonderful. We received our own personalized menus for our anniversary, and an anniversary card as well as a fun little dessert. Rootstalk is simply the very freshest food. I can imagine you can get in the mountains.. The greens of all types, the ramp butter, the lightness but extreme flavor of their foams. Our spring pea amuse bouche as well our tomato amuse bouche were a very impressive start. Then the in house bread, having both a fresh ramp butter and a chermoula-like spread was excellent. The egg chawanmushi was unreal. The texture, the touch of chili - best dish of an unparalleled meal. English pea tortellini tasted like spring in Wales. The chicken mousseline was very good but my husband struggled with the mousseline texture. If an airy pate texture isn't for you this might have been the one that wasn't complete top notch but even he said the mushroom sauce and roasted mushrooms made it delicious. The perfectly done ribeye was again amazing. The rhubarb dessert was fabulous as rhubarb or strawberry rhubarb is my very favorite sweet flavor in the world. So pretty much the only words I have are amazing and perfection. The ever more impressive dishes just flowed out flawlessly. It is simply unparalleled in the area. This is a very high-end dining experience, but it's worth every single dollar if you're a foodie.
I loved the ambiance of this charming 1800s house. The staff was so kind and was on the spot all night. The food... oh man, the food. We had a Blue Crab small plate (bite), the Ricotta Cavatelli (dish with house made rabbit sausage), the Alaskan Halibut, and the Duck Breast. Everything was wonderful. My favorite was the Halibut, and that says a lot as duck is usually it for me. We topped off the meal with their Rhubarb Shortcake. This is a place where you get what you pay for. I'd love to come back the next time I find my way to Breckenridge!
This is easily one of the more dynamic tasting menus we've been to- each dish was banger after banger of wildly, different flavor profiles. We came hungry, and we were stuffed about 3/4 of the way through the experience. We were hit with pretty generous gnudi portions, ricotta is super filling!! Then the lamb saddle which was delicious. When the sorbet came out to relieve the palette I thought we were in for the home stretch but was surprised to get another super fatty (delicious) Iberico pork. Half way through that I had to tap out from the richness and portion. The energy sitting at the chefs tasting is part of the charm. Watching the flow of the kitchen might not be for everyone, it does get loud and feels pretty chaotic at times- we love it. read more

Late summer menu us excellent. The mushroom small plate is amazing. And the new sherry dessert cocktail is definitely a gateway to sherry for those who have never had it. Well done as always read more
We wanted to love this place as friends had recommended it to us. And I will say that the food is great. Our experience with service was overwhelming and bordered on driving us crazy. We felt like we couldn't have a conversation without being interrupted. "Are you finished with this?" We felt rushed; and our chairs were bumped by other guests as well as servers (like a dozen times). We just really couldn't relax. I hate to be the one giving the bad review, but if I pay $300 for two people, I expect the environment to match the food. read more

The best culinary experience of my life. My husband and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary last night. We sat at the Chef's counter (10 course tasting menu). Every morsel was delicious and prepared with great attention to detail. Beautiful presentation. Fantastic personalized service. Relaxing pace that allowed us to savor every bite. They have an extensive wine and cocktail list. We had front row seats to watch the kitchen create magic. It was truly an incredible experience. read more

Food: overall it was very good. A few dishes were on the lukewarm side vs hot or cold but it didn't change too much of the experience for us. (1) HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD: really tasting. Fresh. The fried eggplant "croutons" were a nice touch (2) PRIME BEEF TARTARE: this was one I expected to be colder than it was. But the flavors were wonderful and that onion dip was crucial! (3) CAPPELLETTI: fresh pasta with gooey cheese in the middle and all around mushroom flavor? Yes please! My favorite dish of the night (4) FLIGHT OF BITES: 1 EGGS IN THE EGG, 1 BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN, 1 EVERYTHING GOUGÈRE, and 1 GOAT CHEESE TART. Overall this was my least favorite. Everything had balance flavors but nothing stood out to me. (5) CAPE COD DIVER SCALLOPS: I really didn't prefer the sauce that came with this. I almost tasted like olive puree. Oddly I didn't see any shrimp and corn fritters like the menu says which was a bummer. The scallops were cooked well. The pork belly was luke warm which I would have like to be hot. Not my favorite dish but still good. Service was great. Nothing to complain about. Ambience is beautiful. Can't beat the vibe! read more

Went on a December winter date night and were blown away! Bites were inventive and bursting with flavors, tuna crudo was amazing and our entrees of filet and scallop "chowder" were exceptional. We loved the attentive service, drinks and laid back atmosphere as well. Such a wonderful spot for Breckenridge!! read more

I recently had the opportunity to sit at the Chef's Counter. There are only four seats available per night. With complete confidence I can say this is the best restaurant I have ever experienced. We had over seven courses that were so wonderfully created and decorated. The chefs took time to explain what each course was to us, even when they were busy making food for other customers. It was an exceptional experience to see the chefs cooking with skill. The professionalism was through the roof. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by the kindest people. My glass of water never ran out, it was constantly being refilled. If you're wondering if the Chef's Counter is worth it, I'm here to say it was 100%. read more
Incredible experience for a special occasion! Rootstalk made our anniversary so special. We were originally going to just get things a la carte but the tasting menu looked good so we decided to go for the tasting menu. The service was so great, we had so many people coming up to wish us a happy anniversary. Each dish was so uniquely crafted and enjoyable. Even a few that we weren't as interested in, like the asparagus, ended up being so unique and interesting that we enjoyed it. I think the lamb tartare was my favorite of them all. Also the cocktails were all delicious. Like many places in breck Rootstalk is located inside an old house but we loved the ambiance. It's definitely a special occasion sort of place but we loved it and can't wait to return next. read more
We are locals and just had our first dinner at Rootstalk. Hands down it is now our favorite restaurant in Breckenridge. Drinks are amazing, wine selection is killer, the food is second to none and the service is simply incredible. Photos below. You MUST plan ahead because you need to make the reservation at least 2 weeks in advance. But is is completely worth it. read more
Did the tasting menu here during a boys' trip to Breck on a friend's strong recommendation. Happy to say this lived up to the recommendation. The service was amazing, no water glass remained empty for more than a minute and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. None of the dishes were mindblowingly inventive or anything, but the flavors were all balanced and delicious throughout a wide tasting menu. Shout out to the course with the duck liver mousse and house made bread, that was an unexpected highlight of the evening. Definitely recommend checking this place out if your group wants a break from pizza and beer. read more
Incredible food. Incredible service. Get a reservation early and come hungry. The most delicious part of the whole meal came in the appetizer- the sauce in the mussels is to die for. Could drink the whole thing. I got the swordfish schnitzel, which unfortunately was meh. I tried the duck, which was much better. All the desserts were wonderful, especially the goat cheesecake. The servers are attentive and noise level was just right. Highly recommend! read more

Best dinner restaurant out of the ones my fiance and I hit up in Breck (Bistrot, Radicato, and this one). The food, the service, and the vibe were all top notch. The fiance rates it a 4.5/5 - and its hard to disagree - our experience was fantastic! We had a (Tock) reservation for 2 at 745pm on Sunday, January 14, and arrived at 740pm to get our choice of tables. Before I go further - order the duck breast. Don't even think about it - just do it, and then thank me later. I was considering the pork tenderloin, and I did actually order the NY steak, but the duck breast stood out so much that it literally needs to be recommended on its own. For appetizers? Go with the roasted beet salad. If you know your vegetables (and fruit), you'll definitely appreciate how this dish came together, and then savour all of the different flavours that they put together. For service - my water cup was never less than 1/4 full - and I really tried to chug it! The drinks came out fast, the appetizer was quick, entrees were quick, and desserts were also fast. The only annoying thing (that bigger parties may encounter) is that they only serve the "same" entree stage at the same time. So if you're on entrees, until they've made all of them, you're not going to get it early. Ambiance - it was a quiet playlist, but the only complaint I'll say is that the sound carries too easily here - I could clearly hear conversation from both the table next to mine, AND the table two rows down (even though they were at normal speaking volume). It's easy to block out the noise, but anyone with sensitive ears should be aware - it's somewhat loud here. read more

1,000% amazing! Emily, the hostess with the mostest started off our night with open arms! Warm, inviting, and made our experience out of this world. Making sure the whole team was on board. Speaking of team, we were sat downstairs to watch the chefs at the kitchen bar... chef's kiss incredible. No one missed a beat including the ENTIRE STAFF! Also worth eh ambiance and energy, everyone you (guests) felt it too. It was like a big family dinner. Next... food. Knocked it out of the park. Incredible. Clean, sophisticated, and artwork! Can't wait to come back!! Xo Great work guys, keep it up! read more
Restaurant was first recommended to me by a friend who visited Breckenridge a couple years ago... a lot of the locals also recommended it, now I will too when asked. Most of the dishes we ordered I would get again. Service was great, not only from our server (unfortunately I didn't get her name) but the entire team. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice dinner. Dress code is casual read more

These are all items that were off the special taster menu. This is one of my wife and I, one of the top three restaurants that we've been to in the world. The chef and sous chef are both James Bearden award winners. The service was as usual. Absolutely amazing. And the wine sommelier Megan. Is amazing. She always has rich history of the wines where they come from as well as a small little story about it. And the ambience is excellent. Think Mountain house. read more
If you love innovative food, book a table at Rootstalk. My wife and I were able to walk in just before 6 p.m. on a Saturday night in October and get a seat in their basement level. Here's our experience. 1) Food: To feed the two of us, we ordered one too many dishes. (We got a to-go box with the leftovers). We were warned that portions were small, but even the starters were healthy portions. Their menu changes seasonally, but under the fall menu, we ordered the shrimp salad, beet salad, butternut squash soup, the potatoes, the carrots, and the squash main. Everything was beautifully prepared and flavorful. My favorite was the soup and the two salads. For dessert, we ordered the goat cheese cheesecake and wow. It's the best cheesecake I've had and may ever have. 2) Drinks: Their menu includes wine by the glass and bottle, cocktails, and beer. A sommelier helps guide you through the wine list if needed. The Riesling was very unique. 3) Service: It was impeccable from start to finish. Every staff member was genuinely kind. At the end, manager proactively comped our dessert because he thought the timing in between our dishes was slight off. (He was right but it wasn't a big deal.) 4) Price: For excellent food with leftovers to take home, we paid $200. That's not bad at all! 5) Space: It's in a little house along the Main Street. The inside is beautiful with two levels. read more

Do they serve anything for kids?
They offered a kids pasta bolognese when we dined there. I'm sure they could make accommodations for littles.
What is the dress code? We are casual dressers?
Mountain causal is the norm but if you were dressed up it would fit the ambiance too. We have gone in both looks and felt appropriate.
