626 on Rood

The food was amazing and our waitress was attentive to our daughter’s food allergy, which was very much appreciated. The atmosphere is quite nice and we will definitely return.

We have eaten here many times. The only time we have really enjoyed the food, service, and vibe was when the owners were in France. Night and day difference in the experience. When they aren't around being entitled and condescending while drinking heavily behind their own bar. It is noticeably better.

Is there a sixth star? This food was amazing! I had the mushroom entree, slices of mushroom prepared like a slice of meat on a bed of lentils — that were the most flavorful lentils I’ve ever eaten. I am not a vegetarian, though I love vegetables. I almost got the tenderloin (which someone else got and loved!). I am so glad I got the mushrooms. I am not sure I wouldn’t order them again — I like trying different things — but SO tasty! And crème brûlée for dessert. Nice wine list. Attractive space. Definitely recommend. Pricey but worth it!

We loved everything about this restaurant! They were thoughtful about detail, even adding a special note on our menu for our anniversary! We liked everything dish and cocktail we had. Standouts were the Bad Idea cocktail and the pasta, which was a very fresh and unique take on pesto. Our server was also amazing and so sweet. A very lovely night!

I lived in Grand Junction in 2010 and we used to come to 626 all the time. I came back for my birthday and they made the day very special! I was happy to see that all of the things I loved about this restaurant remain the same. The food is delicious, creative, and elegantly presented with many plant-based options. The servers are attentive, but not overbearing. Every server I've ever had has been professional and knowledgeable about the menu. You don't see a commitment to service like this everywhere. The food is always delicious and 626 has been committed to farm-to-table, the slow food movement, and sustainability since the beginnings of those movements. They use herbs that they grow in their garden and local products whenever they can. The decor is classy and I've always loved the pre-Impressionism paintings that scroll on the bar TV. The values held by the owners and staff show. You won't be disappointed!

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.

When I’m in the mood for a fancy night out in Grand Junction, 626 on Rood is always my top choice. Amy & Brittany’s expertly crafted cocktails are delicious, and the food never fails to impress with its freshness and outstanding quality. The service is equally remarkable—Kayla is fantastic and always remembers the small details about my orders and preferences. The elegant atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a special occasion or simply a treat-yourself evening. If you’re ever downtown, 626 on Rood is a must-visit. — eating deliciousness with Patti Kendall at 626 On Rood.

During my recent visit, I was initially drawn in by the allure of the lobster mac and cheese—a decadent-sounding dish priced at $26. Unfortunately, the portion was unexpectedly small, and the flavor profile leaned disappointingly bland for something billed as a specialty item. To the restaurant's credit, the management responded swiftly and graciously, allowing me to order a replacement. I opted for the Wagyu burger, which, paired with the arugula pecan salad dressed in a vibrant balsamic vinaigrette, proved to be a true highlight of the meal. Both were exquisitely prepared, balancing richness and freshness with finesse. The parmesan truffle fries, though conceptually promising, fell short in execution. Rather than the expected delicate shavings, the parmesan resembled pre-packaged granules that failed to adhere to the fries subtracting from the intended cohesiveness of the appetizer. Most of the cheese settled at the bottom of the conical metal dish, which, while visually striking, proved impractical—particularly as one reached the lower layers. The garlic aioli though that accompanied the fries, was somewhat of redeeming addition as it was a very well balanced savory and acidic component. Despite the uneven culinary experience, the attentive and courteous service stood out. The staff remained consistently professional and responsive, enhancing the overall atmosphere. In short, while not every dish met expectations, the thoughtful service and quality of the revised offerings reflect a kitchen and team willing to improve and adapt. With a few adjustments, this establishment has the potential to be even more successful!

My favorite place to eat in grand junction. Went for my anniversary and every bite was a treat

My husband and I had a lovely dinner here. There were so many plant-based options and everything was fantastic. The service was unmatched, we’ve never felt so well taken care of and the energy of this restaurant was so positive and enjoyable. They do two types of happy hours at the bar, which we thought was a fun idea to keep things interesting too! Highly recommend for a delicious meal & drinks.
