    Fantastic food with creativity from the kitchen, fresh ingredients and sourcing of quality food presented in a thoughtful manner. I think this is one of the best restaurants in the country that I can think of. A must if you are traveling through Grand Junction - and very well worth a long drive on Interstate Highway 70

    Such a great night! Hadn’t eaten at 626 in awhile and it didn’t disappoint! Excellent server-he was attentive but we didn’t feel rushed at all. Pasta primavera with shrimp was outstanding. Already talking about when we can go back again. Took friends from Denver and they loved it.

    626 on Rood always delivers a top-shelf experience. With peach season in full swing, we chose three 'of the moment' offerings - a bourbon-based cocktail, cold soup and shrimp main course. All were delicious and creatively presented. Bravo!

    The food and service are amazing. The prices are high. I wouldn't mind that if the seating was not so close to other tables. The night we were there, they had a large party that had to sit at two large tables. They walked around and were very loud. My husband and I were celebrating our 33rd anniversary, and if we wanted to go to a loud bar, we could have paid a lot lower price. I probably wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a couple that wants a nice evening alone.

    We should up 25 min early for our reservation in hopes of enjoying a glass of wine prior to being seating. There were several tables open inside and outside and were denied staying and was told we could have a glass of wine elsewhere. Who does that! They sent business away! We contemplated dining somewhere else but didn't. Completely ruined our view and perseption of this being an outstanding restaurant. So disappointed in the customer service.

    626 on Rood...Modern American Cuisine and Wine BarResponded on August 1, 2023

    We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your evening. It is always our goal to provide a wonderful dining experience. We do our best to accommodate early shows, but cannot always accommodate, especially when our restaurant is as busy as the night you visited. Although tables may look empty, they are reversed for other reservations. We recommend calling ahead of time if you would like to try and get in earlier. We offered the bar but unfortunately, it was full upon time of arrival; we were however able to seat you at your reservation time. We thank you for choosing 626, and hope you give us another chance in the future.

    Yeah. I pretty much maxed out the stars on this one. I took my wife here for our anniversary with the intention of having a wonderful dinner, and an unforgettable experience. We weren't disappointed. The food was out of this world. The service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They really made us feel like guests. We weren't in any hurry to leave, so we stayed for about 2 hours, just enough time. I would recommend this establishment to anyone, for any occasion.

    Food, service and about everything was great - noise was close to extreme, mostly caused by a couple at the bar. It absolutely defies understanding why anyone would go to a really fine dining establishment, apparently not touch the food, and order drink after drink - unbelievable!!

    We had another fantastic meal on our recent visit to Grand Junction. The meal started with a chilled cherry soup and a glass of gewürztraminer followed by a perfectly cooked tenderloin with a glass of Shiraz. The wine was suggested by the waiter with an offer of a taste. The wine selection matches anything I would find at home in California wine country. I never miss hitting this place with always great food, atmosphere and service.
