| - We decided to go to Rock Bottom before a movie. We walked in and were informed that there was a 30 minute wait for a table in the "dining room" but that we could opt to sit in the bar area. So we did the latter. There were lots of open booths in the "dining room", which was kind of frustrating, but I know that restaurants have to stagger their tables so the kitchen doesn't get overloaded...but seriously, it's a big restaurant...
I've been to Rock Bottom several times, both in Denver and Arizona, and I've never had an overly pleasant experience. During our meal I was reminded why I don't really go out of my way to eat here. The waitress would disappear for long periods of time, and all the other waitresses wouldn't make eye contact with anyone other than the diners at their tables. Frustrating...
We had the pretzels to start, which were really good. But, in my experience, even microwavable pretzels are delicious...It came with a side of cheese sauce with some herbs in it...honestly it tasted like velveeta, cilantro and rotel canned tomatoes. Sub-par.
I had the steak spinach salad, which was described as "fresh baby greens with gorgonzola, walnuts, tomatoes and red onion tossed in a balsamic vinegarette". The red onion overwhelmed the salad. The tomato was mealy. There was hardly any gorgonzola, and the walnuts were nonexistant. I was bombarded with soggy croutons. Rock Bottom is just not the place to spend money on food. It's a bar with a handful of unique beers. Yard House is MUCH better if you're looking for a dining experience/brewery, and it's closer to the theater. And their spinach salad rocks.
