    Pork belly
    Joe L.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is a bit loud due to all the hard surfaces, but we hardly noticed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Two bites and a very delicious savory broth/tea

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is a harmonious mix of historic charm and modern convenience inside a house that was built in late 1800s[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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!

    My mouth had been watering for another chance to try Rootstalk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was perfect -- superb food, exceptional service and a cozy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Apres burger with fries
    Jonathan D.

    Wow. Finally had the Apres burger and it did not disappoint. Beyond that, it's a definite contender for best burger ever...let alone for $12! And I used to wait in line in Madison Square Park for the original Shake Shack to open. I have had some great burgers. Where to start. The burger was cooked perfectly--juicy and somewhere around medium rare. While it looked a little large, the roll compressed nicely for eating and the bottom didnt disappear. It held the juices well. It literally melted in my mouth and I could probably eat it every day. The cheese had the perfect amount of salt for me and the onions gave it a patty melt feel in a burger. The spicy sauce that came with the fries was also excellent--just enough heat to make you want more. Really cant recommend this enough. Well done!

    Prime beef tartare

    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.

    Tomato Thomato cocktail
    Sara C.

    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

    Bites Sampler order x2
    Victoria E.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]To start this place was beautiful. The restaurant setup was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Ricotta Cavatelli
    Derek F.

    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!

    Chawanmushi with smoked sabayon, daikon radish and chili. Favorite dish!
    Tracie B.

    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I recently had the opportunity to sit at the Chef's Counter. There are only four seats available per night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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%.

    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.

The place inside is small, but its still spacious enough that you're not crammed against the other tables. From the moment you're walking up to the place it calls your attention cause its located in the historic Gold Pan Saloon. And the decor inside follows that rustic saloon winery vibes with barrel decors and a crazy ceiling design. They have a great bar area for tastings or a glass of wine as well. I opted for the wine flight, which was great. It included 3 different types of red wines and they were each delicious. My fav was the cabernet franc. It was the best of the 3 for me. For food we went with the Red Rocker charcuterie board and it was great. They pick the 2 cheeses and 2 proteins, which are a rotating selection, along with pickled veggies and a spread with homemade wine tortilla chips. What I love about it is that you can tell the board is freshly made when it's ordered. I was also able to try a piece of the bruschetta with Poached Figs, Whipped Goat Cheese, Honey & Pine Nuts and it was to die for. If goat cheese is your thing, do not skip out on this one. The whipped cheese is crazy, Amazing texture and flavor. We stopped by a couple of days later for a glass of wine and it was packed but they were nice enough to let us stand on the side enjoying a glass till a seat opened up at the bar. I got a glass of their "house red" which is divine. Great body and perfectly balanced. And did I mention it's only $10?!? Totally worth it. Perfect place to relax and unwind.

We sat at the bar because we heard great things about the happy hour from the locals. 2 Food: We researched before coming to Breckenridge what place had the best burger and Aurum's French Onion Burger came up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection (we like medium rare) and the sea salt french fries were delicious (no condiments needed for the burger or the fries)!! 3. Employees: The Hostess was friendly and got us seated right away. The Bartenders (Mike and George) made our evening a blast. Mike Ruda has a signature drink on the menu that he created called the Duck Fat Cadillac and it is a home run cocktail (10 out 10)!! George Johnson is a great conversationalist and is engaged with the customers. We showed him a twist to our favorite drink back home in San Antonio, the Carajillo and he made it perfectly!

That night we were sat promptly when we arrived and the table was set up with menus and water waiting for us. For appetizer, we started off with the Parker House rolls with the house honey butter and OMG those rolls are so fluffy and delicious. Highly suggest getting the rolls if you like bread. The butter complimented the bread beautifully. I started off the night with the blackberry smash with tequila and it was delicious. Just the right combo of sweetness. For entree we went with their Pasta Rotante which for the night was a crazy flavor combo of tomato, pumpkin seeds, crunchy carrot strings, sage and chicken sausage. I'm probably missing other ingredients, but it was a dance of flavors on the tongue. Our waiter recommended pairing this with a glass of Pinot Noir and it was the perfect compliment.

The winery is on one end of Main Street, and has patio seating (there was live music outside), as well as an interior tasting room. Right off the bat, we didn't think either of the people working were overly friendly, and didn't really make us feel overly welcome. We decided to do two flights of red wine - kind of insane to me that a flight was $40, thank god we had a 2 for 1 discount. The other people in my party also said they'd give the experience a 2 or 3 stars - price was unbelievably expensive (especially when you can go down the street at Carboy and do a flight for half the price). No one was impressed by the service either - for a flight, I'd expect a little more background and explanation of the wines, but the person came and dropped off beakers of all the wine with a quick explanation then left it up to us to pour our own wines. The wines themselves were nothing spectacular either, two from Colorado and two from California grapes (I think) - we liked the blend but that was about it. Unfortunately would not recommend this place to others or come back.
