Excellent dining experience. My wife is vegetarian, and 626 Rood always has creative, nutritious vegetarian options. She a tofu curry dish tonight that was scrumptious. I had a special fixed price 4 course medley. The first 2 were vegetarian: a smooth ratatouille soup and tempura cauliflower. Course 3 was crevice and pasta. 4th was very delicious vanilla cake with espresso crumble, caramel, and firm merengue “kisses.” There are also numerous cocktail and wine choices. We did save about 2/3 of the dessert to bring home. Our server was Bailin, whose professionalism was evident from the start. Her attention to our preference and questions was superb. I highly recommend 626 on Rood. We have been regulars there since we moved to Grand Junction about 3.5 years ago.
