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!

Honestly hands down one of the best food experiences I’ve had in a long time. Patrick was our server and he gave the best recommendations. Amazing service and pacing. The peach and corn soup was wonderful as was the shrimp and peach primavera. Every other entree and appetizer we had was amazing as well but those two stood out. For dessert the palisade peach Napoleon was fantastic. Again I cannot say enough wonderful things about Patrick. His service was outstanding and if we make our way back to Grand Junction we cannot wait to come back.

My partner says this is the best restaurant he's been to, point blank. The food was truly amazing & packed rich with flavor. I love that they have seasonal menus, can't wait to go back soon for the Spring menu. Our waitress made the experience even better. Maybe the best waitress in my experience, too. She knew so much about everything she brought out to us & was so excited to tell us about it. When it was mentioned it was my birthday, she added fun sparkler candles to our desert. 10/10!

Amazing vegan options! Being vegan sometimes means missing out on really fancy food (at least in Grand Junction) but not here though. The chefs have created several amazing and delicious vegan meals from appetizers through dessert. We went for our anniversary and will definitely be back. Out dessert even came with a sparkler. Thanks for offering vegan options!!

I came here with a group of 8 people from CU Boulder (they were in town visiting and wanted to try a great restaurant). ;-) We had cocktails first (mine was very delicious) and then for our appetizer a few of us shared a tomato, basil and mozzarella dish. Then, for the main meal - I had an amazing grass fed beef burger with a great tasting salad on the side. I'm pretty sure I shared an order of fries on the side, but didn't get a photo. All of the food was cooked in a very refined manner, so that you really enjoy it. We were here for quite a while enjoying each others company. Great evening.
