Rootstalk delivered the best food I've ever had in my life. Each course outdid the previous one, creating an unforgettable culinary experience. My partner and I had the privilege of sitting at the chef's counter on our wedding night, which made the evening even more special.

Beyond the exquisite food and remarkable restaurant, the staff at Rootstalk went above and beyond to make our night truly magical. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth made the whole experience one we will cherish forever.

I can't recommend Rootstalk enough for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. The combination of exceptional cuisine, a beautiful setting, and outstanding service makes it a must-visit.

This place was recommended by a local person who supplies this place with farm fresh vegetables. Was super impressed with the tasting menu. Every dish was delicious and beautiful. Highly recommend if you are in visiting or want to do a special dinner. Staff was very friendly and professional. Best thing about mountain town fancy restaurants is the no dress code.

This was truly the best place we ate dinner at in Breckenridge. I by no means am a professional food critic or chef, but everything was on point and to the nines. The host was very friendly, and servers would take away empty cocktail glasses, finished plates and refill water glasses frequently. Our server was very personable and was very knowledgeable about wine paring recommendations. All in all, this place has got it going on. I would highly, and I mean highly, recommend the shaken Chai-naia Twain cocktail, the bite of blue crab, the mafaldine, the winter citrus salad, the NY strip and you have to try the sticky toffee pudding with frozen pears. It is to die for and life changing. Their menu is also seasonal and changes, but I am sure whenever you go it will be awesome. Would go back to Breckenridge just for this restaurant. Thank you to Matt Vawter and his amazing team at Rootstalk. 10/10.

My second time in Breckenridge and second time here. I never usually go to fine dining restaurants twice, but my first rootstalk experience was so good I wanted to go back. And it did not disappoint. It was our anniversary and every single staff member made sure to greet us anniversary, write us a card. as well as a generous welcome drink and dessert. Not only did they go above and beyond, but the food was just as spectacular. The chawanamushi and mafaldine are to die for. Wind and drinks are also smooth and delicious. Rootstalk has become one of my favorite restaurants. Thank you so much Rootstalk and Chef Matt Vawter!!

There aren't many restaurants that can deliver high-quality, creative and avant-garde dishes while matching that excellence in service and hospitality. Rootstalk won my admiration and stomach with its incredibly delicious food, but it is its staff that won my heart and dedication. Being a passionate foodie who travels around the world looking for restaurants that awaken both stomach and mind, I knew instantly that Rootstalk was special - so special that after our first visit, we immediately canceled our next day's reservations elsewhere to return. Since then, the praise and accolades have only continued to flood in, recognizing what makes this place extraordinary.

The food is spectacular, and the drinks are dangerously good - I typically limit myself to one cocktail, but here I find myself exploring their creative offerings throughout the meal. Even their non-alcoholic options shine with the same attention to detail and creativity as their cocktails.

What truly elevates Rootstalk is its staff and the palpable way they care for and respect one another. You can feel how they come together to create something greater than themselves, which is why this has become my chosen place for birthdays, special occasions, and introducing out-of-town friends to Colorado's best. Despite being an hour and a half away, walking in to Teddy's welcome, Blizzard's warm embrace and Austin’s smile behind the counter truly feels like coming home. This year, on a particularly difficult birthday, I knew instinctively that Rootstalk was my only hope for turning things around. The staff had no idea I arrived with a heavy heart, yet through their genuine care and attention to detail, they pieced me back together and turned a bad day into one of the most lovely and memorable days of my life. A kindness I will truly never forget. Congratulations to Chef Vawter, not only for your incredible culinary vision but for creating a space where staff and guests alike feel truly cared for. With their cups so full, they pour into ours, leaving us satisfied in body and spirit.

Amazing from top to bottom. From the first interaction we had with the guy at the front counter to the last bite, the experience was top notch.

We chose the tasting menu and it was so creative and well thought out. Every course and every bite included great flavor, texture, and balance that made it special.

The sommelier (I forgot her name) was so helpful and positive without being pushy or upselling us. We really appreciated that. The servers all pitched in and served the various courses, each one with a detailed description.

This place truly delivers as an upscale restaurant should. Every detail is executed so well and with professionalism and care. We will definitely be back in the future.

We chose the normal dinner menu because we thought it had more choices than the tasting one. And we were proved to be right. Food was all very delicious and unique. Atmosphere was great.
