In our charming space, each day begins with stoves being lit, wine glasses being polished, and staff tasting wine. Here, we’ve cultivated a ripe passion for providing sustainable, eclectic farm-to-table fare and an unparalleled wine list that spans the globe. Our work with local farmers culminates in an abundance of seasonal dishes that are as much an expression of place as they are an immersive sensory experience. At 626, all are welcome, tradition is respected, and the novel is explored. Unwind, imbibe, and savor.

As new residents in Grand Junction, 626 Rood has become our favorite place for a cocktail and small palates. The calamari is wonderfully tender and lightly breaded. The best! Every dish we have had has been excellent quality, delicious and beautifully presented. We have had several different wait staff and all have been personable and knowledgeable. The only negative is that the noise level can get a little loud due to laughter and loud conversations but background music is at a soft volume. Highly recommend 626 Rood!
