Our Approach

The Menu Follows the Season

At Root & Rafter, the menu changes when the ingredients do. We source from six Colorado farms, two ranches, and a network of wild foragers. Our chef visits each supplier monthly, and our servers can tell you exactly where every ingredient on your plate was grown.

Dinner is a four-course prix fixe with three choices per course. Sunday brunch is à la carte and features our famous sourdough pancakes and house-cured salmon.

— Jonathan & Karen P. , Anniversary dinner

The Sunday brunch is unmissable. The sourdough pancakes ruined all other pancakes for me.

Chef Donovan is doing something special here. Farm-to-table done right, without the pretension.
