Went in to try their fabulous wine selection!! At least 15 wines by the glass. None of these wines have much of a retail presence which was very refreshing to see. I will be back!
This cozy restaurant had really nice romantic ambiance! They even accommodated a last minute extra guest and pushed the time of our reservation back. A friend had suggested this restaurant so I took my best friend for her birthday, which the restaurant helped to organize a personalized happy birthday menu with her name ending with sparklers on her truffles at the end of the night! We ordered the fried calamari with very interesting sauces, fried oysters (was slightly disappointed there weren’t fresh oysters offered), roasted beet carpaccio (the sea salt served in a little bowl rather on a spoon would have been preferred), the Waygu burger and the squid ink pasta (with delicious gochujang sauce). Overall the presentation of each entree/plate was beautiful, and the waiter (Josh) was a delight and very helpful in making our decisions on our food journey here! The drinks were also a smash and very delicious!
What an awesome find via google map search for Grand Junction restaurants! Such innovative, flavorful dishes for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans alike. And the staff was so wonderfully friendly and helpful, from our hostess who sat us to our waitress/bartender Amy B, who was such a great guide to their on menu (and offmenu) dishes. And she offered such great insight on the area’s fun activities and living in the Grand Valley (we’re looking to escape AZ and move to Colorado). We started with Spanglish flight which led us to very nice bottle of local wine, the Open Range red blend (Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc) from Sauvage Spectrum in next door Palisade, Colo. The Charcuterie - Plant Based board, with Mushroom Walnut Rillettes, was amazingly flavorful. Quite unique and wickedly tasty plant-based cheeses, with rich plant-based sausage that impressed this meat lover. The cool blend of flavors with addons of onion jam, coriander nuts and homemade strawberry jam was perfect start to the night. Amy mentioned the off menu item of local heirloom tomatoes with backyard basil and cheese was an ideal gift for this birthday celebration. So richly flavorful! Despite feeling stuffed to the max our entrees were even more perfect. My wife had the Arctic Char which she loved. This meateater passed on the delicious sounding Flatiron steak salad for the unique Yakitori Mushroom entree which was divine! We topped off with the 10yr old tawny port (Warre’s Otima) and the decadent Chocolate Marquis de Sade. A wonderful birthday celebration, made even more cool by the unique friendly folks we met at our next door table. In 2 months of traveling across Colorado, 626 on Rood is by far the best restaurant we’ve visited. The dishes are unique and richly flavorful, portions perfect sized and the staff super super nice. A wonderful eatery that is very rare in that it can be equally enjoyed by meatlovers, vegetarians, vegans and gluten free diners. Thanks for such a
Tonight, we enjoyed dinner here with a large group, and the food was wonderful. I loved my steak salad with palisade peaches. Most of all, our server, Angie, was phenomenal. The service was 5* and we loved our experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!!!
Everything about this restaurant is perfection. Delicious food, amazing mocktails, incredible service. The ambiance was also so relaxing - not too loud at all, and perfectly lit. I cannot recommend this restaurant more, we loved it! We got drinks to start from the buzzless mocktail menu - cosmopolitan and espresso martini - 10/10. Then the tempura cauliflower, also 10/10. We ordered the Chilean sea bass and the mushroom asparagus enchilada and those were incredibly good, 10/10. Finished with the orange crème brûlée that was incredible as well. Overall, perfection.
I gave 4⭐️ for their food bc the Duck a ‘la Peche that my husband ordered says crispy skin. Sadly there is no crispy in it. I ordered Yakitori style mushroom it’s actually good overall food and service is great.
A Hidden Gem in Grand Junction! The escargot with a hint of blue cheese was absolutely incredible — rich, garlicky, and perfectly balanced. I also had the steak served with a fresh salad of spinach, pears, pomegranate, and goat cheese — beautifully plated and full of flavor. The service was outstanding. The staff stayed late without rushing me while I enjoyed a lovely conversation with another guest, which says a lot about their hospitality. Between the food, the wine, and the warm atmosphere, this place is a must-stop when visiting Grand Junction. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great food and genuine service. 🍷✨

Love the food, wine and dessert! Jaime is most amazing. We love every dish she recommended!
We went to 626 on Rood for a 50th birthday celebration. The staff, especially Brittany and Vanessa were so fun and accommodating. The food itself was amazing. We had the parmesan truffle fries which were unbelievable, the halibut, and the creme brulee. We also had specialty cocktails that were delicious. I would highly recommend!
