Rooted Craft American Kitchen Top 100

Since opening in May 2023, former Vesta chef Nicholas Kayser’s first brick-and-mortar (he also has a stall in Avanti Boulder) has been finding its rhythm in the Highland neighborhood, dishing up the kind of fare you could eat once (or twice) a week, including a choose-your-own meats and frites adventure, classic carbonara made with local pasta from Sfoglina, burgers, classic sandwich favorites and more. The bar is skilled at crafting low-ABV cocktails, too, which means you can definitely order another one as you linger on the patio for some people-watching.
