The music was loud. I got the stuffed French toast to-go and wouldn't come here again. The service / staff was very friendly. The food on the other hand... A month ago I got the ham and cheese croissant and it tasted like something from a gas station. But I wanted to give them one more change. And the stuffed French toast sounded yummy. I was wrong. The menu claims "Thick‑cut Texas toast filled with sweet cream cheese, and topped with seasonal berries dipped in cinnamon‑vanilla batter, and grilled untill golden". The only thing that had flavor was the berries. The two slices of bread was like what you got at the grocery store (not thick and definitely not Texas toast) the cream cheese was bland and was put between them like if it was a PJ and J sandwich, and the toast was just bland no vanilla or cinnamon flavor. The only flavor came from the syrup and berries. Also it was soggy, I started to eat it like less then 3 minutes after getting it and even waited for it to be done made (so it wasn't sitting there for a while getting soggy waiting for me to pick it up). Definitely not worth the $13. read more

Bistro 317 - Stuffed french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Went on a quiet farmers market night. Too hot for us flat landers & dog, so we had to change mid meal and make it to go. No problem from the kitchen or server. Shared a 3 course meal, had the tomato mozzarella salad, excellent. Steak Fritz .I personally was worried about the sauce. But it was great, great fresh vegetables. Another do over for us on a future trip through GJ. Brilla was great and understanding and dog friendly too. read more

Bistro 317 wants to be upscale more than anything but just isn't quite there. The staff were very nice and they had a good selection of wine/cocktails. The ambiance (including the paper place mats) doesn't match the price of the food. Our meals were good but not great. The pasta was bland and the salmon was a little dry. Might be better as a coffee/pastries and lunch spot only! read more

Just because you put bistro in front of your name and your restaurant doesn't automatically make the food good, your croque monsieur is a joke The bechamel's flavorless degree air is questionable that it's even greater but the worst part is you serve it on Texas toast I could get from City market, if it's French food it should be on French type bread come on at least try a little read more

We had a very pleasant experience and delicious food at Bistro 317. From our server, Ana to the wonderful drinks and meal, everything was excellent. Ana made great recommendations - chocolate martini, curry lobster dish, rustic salad, and chicken Oscar - all was delicious. The restaurant was pretty too read more

We stopped in for breakfast. Don't miss the Monte Cristo - it was excellent. We were surprised at the size of the waffle - VERY small. It was very good but even with the bacon and potato croquette you will not be full. Great size for a child. Very disappointed in the eclair. It was soggy on the bottom and filled with a whipped cream / custard mix. The chocolate on top was good. It made me wary of ordering other pastries. I have traveled all over the world and know my eclairs, the whipped cream fillings are not my favorite. Maybe you will like that. Service was great. read more

Ok so rare that I find a restaurant that has been 5 stars in three areas. The food we selected was absolutely outstanding. We also had the goat cheese salads that has walnuts, figs, cranberries, and a puffed pastry to top things off. Ample selections of fantastic wines and spirits. To top it all off the raspberry cheese cake was to die for. Plenty expensive but fantastic all around. Very lovely ambiance. The service was excellent as well. Definitely my favorite in the Grand Junction area. Highly recommended. read more

I met some friends for lunch today ( on my recommendation, unfortunately) and man- being understaffed is an understatement. We saw one waitress the entire time, not even a hostess , and the waitress was so overwhelmed , we never even got menus . We looked up the menu on our phones and flagged her down to order. It took the entire lunch to get a glass of water that we asked for 3 times . She never came back after dropping off our checks so , thankfully, we all had cash because if we would had to wait to bring back our credit cards , we would have been late to work. I'm not even blaming the waitress - in fact, I tipped her 30% because I truly felt bad for her. Either management or the owners should have been busting their asses as well. And the food was ok but it's hard to enjoy it when you have nothing to quench your thirst . Big bummer - will not be returning . read more

Great place for brunch, the staff were super friendly and attentive, the restaurant was relaxing and cozy. The food delicious and didn't take long to start enjoying the meal. This hollandaise sauce was one of the best I've had. Definitely a must if you're in Downtown Grand Junction. read more

Absolutely amazing! Such a great find. Beautiful patio, delicious Niçoise salad!! So yummy

The food was so bad I ordered a smoked salmon sandwich It was hard to find the salmon and inside there were two pieces of wilted lettuce and four thin slices of tomatoes. I wondered if they forgot the capers so I asked the waitress for capers and the waitress told me that capers are added to the sandwich only on the dinner menu. The service non existent the waitress never came to ask if we needed additional items. She only came when we called her to ask for the capers. That outrageous so called salmon sandwich was priced $ 18.00 The place was empty no wonder. With food service and ambience poor and such high prices no wonder they were empty. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I'm understand when a place is short staffed, but an hour for just getting our drinks is a bit excessive. Had 1/2 French people onion soup which was basically watery chicken broth with a couple onions. The 1/2 monte cristo was also disappointing. The soggy bread was the worst part. No flavor. But I just ate it because it took 1.5 hours to arrive! read more

The service was amazing Marie was very friendly. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious. They have a good variety and they offer a large variety of pastries. read more

We had dinner here and were fortunate enough to grab pastries at the farmers market. The salads. Perfection. See photos and enjoy them. Best almond croissant I've ever had. Flakey, but extra moist and so much flavor. Wish I had gotten a dozen but the good thing is I know I'll drive through Grand Junction again soon! read more

Recently had dinner here with friends. We arrived at 6PM on a Saturday and there were plenty of empty tables. We were seated right away, which was great. Turns out the bartender was our waiter, which wasn't so great. Although the bar wasn't super busy, one person at the bar kept him busy, and service to our table suffered a bit. The food, on the other hand, was quite good. The steak frites will be my go-to meal when in GJ. It was perfect. We didn't partake of dessert, but they looked exceptionally good. We will definitely visit here again! read more

We enjoyed our brunch. We had some mix-up( on our part) when ordering. Everything turned out fine. It was nice eating on the patio before it got hot. The quiche was excellent. Service was attentive. read more

Always good to excellent; best fine dining in town; the pastry chef is Belgian and superb.

I loved this place. The people were kind and friendly and appropriate. I was pleasantly surprised with their food and their offerings. Cut up meat, well that speaks to my panties and to my purse!! I recommend you give it a try! Ambience plus plus. Wine was spectacular. They actually had good wine on the happy hour. Who doesn't love a good Bordeaux?? read more

Go-to spot when we're in GJ. The quality can't be beat and the service is always friendly.

Announcement- open for BREAKFAST! And what a breakfast it is! Stopped in on a whim when we saw the open sign this morning. Place was empty, almost hard to tell it was open excepting the sign. This place is an amazing gem in this valley. The chef brought out warm almond croissants as I was perusing the already amazing pastry case. My friend and I sampled the ham & cheese quiche and the almond croissant. We are delighted! Can not recommend enough. If this place was in someplace like Downtown Disney there would be a line out the door. Stop in - you will NOT be disappointed!!! Oh, and the young lady working the counter is delightful! read more

If you happen to be in sleepy little Grand Junction, you absolutely have to try Bistro 317! Who would've thought that you would find the best French food around in Grand Junction? Grand Junction is our second home and we rarely visit without a trip to the bistro. The owner is ever present and the food is fantastic! We are bar people and we always sit at the bar. The bartender Ziez is a one man dinner theater show! His energy is infectious and it's always welcome especially on a cold night. My husband adores the steak frites. I'm a sucker for the wine list and the mussels. If you happen to be a table type, Morgan is a doll and is a great server. I like to hang out and enjoy the homemade French pastry with a brandy, a cheese corse or an espresso martini! read more

This is a wonderful addition to the restaurant scene downtown. I came in for dinner and this is good French food. The escargot was cooked perfectly with great texture and garlicky flavor. It came with more than enough bread. The duck confit was juicy and cooked to perfection as well. Good selection of wine. They have beautiful desserts but I didn't have the room left to enjoy. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The environment is very inviting with great ambiance. I look forward to coming back for pastries and coffee some time. read more

Excellent little French Bistro right on Main Street in Grand Junction. I was craving mussels and my wife had the lamb - both were terrific. I was shaken a perfect martini to start with and the wine list albeit small is well thought out for their menu. I am looking forward to coming back soon for their Steak and Frites. read more

My husband wanted to try something new for dinner so we came here with our 2 daughters (age 2 & 12). Nice ambience and outdoor seating. I liked that we were able to call and make a reservation a few hours prior. When we arrived, no one greeted us. I had to ask the bartender if we could be seated. Our drinks and food came out quickly. They gave us complimentary warm crispy baguette. We ordered crab cake and escargot. The crab cake was about 5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Big chunks of crab meat, flavorful, and crispy. Delicious! The escargot was okay. I would've liked it better if it were hotter in temperature. The escargot at 626 on Rood is perfect, so go there for escargot. My 12-year-old ordered the burger, well done. (A mistake I know. I told her not to.) The burger seemed like it was overworked and resulted in a tough patty. The natural cut fries could've been good if it weren't so over-cooked. My husband ordered the meat of the day which was rack of lamb with curry sauce over a bed of DRY pappardelle. I didn't like the lamb or dry pasta. It came with zucchini and shrimp which was good. My husband enjoyed the meal. I ordered the fish of the day which was prawns with a salmon dip and a "side salad". The "side salad" was the whole dish! Five chilled prawns that were 3-4 inches. And I think the salmon dip had full skin in it because I had to cut it apart. To drink, I had a cosmopolitan on the rocks. The ice was tiny and melted. Seemed like the same ice they shook the drink with. I prefer my drink poured over new ice. It tasted good though. Our meal was about $155, which wouldn't be too much if our food was good. I don't think I would return. I'm glad we tried it so we wouldn't have to live our life wondering. read more

Their Valentine special was a horrible experience. We regret going there. We had a 7pm reservation. Nothing was served well and we left at 8:45 after being rushed out desert so they could charge us full price for a bummer experience with Applebee quality food. There was hardly a smidge in their basil sauce. read more

We were in GJ for a week and ate here 3 times. Anna was our waitress and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the restaurant and the cuisine. Fine dining and a diverse menue. The onion soup was fantastic! It was impossible to decide if the lunch or dinner menue was the best. read more

Very nice, comfortable place with nice decor. They had a full bar which was separated from the dining area with a glass wall. A small menu but what they served was done well and everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and our waitress, Danielle was personable, professional and fast. I noticed at one table they where having a dinner business meeting, people on dates, older couples and they were able to accommodate a family of 8 with young kids. They had a separate area towards the back for the large family group so everyone could do there own thing and no one was disturbed. I only regret I didn't have room for their delicious array of desserts. My husband wants to go back for breakfast (even though we get breakfast in the hotel). So I agreed on coffee and pastries instead before we left town (grin) read more

Excellent food and great service. Although it is not a large place it is set up to be comfortable for patrons. Tables are far enough apart so you can carry on a conversation with your dining mates. Nicely decorated and clean. read more

Great lunch. The Server was prompt, polite, and set up my baked goods to take out order while we had lunch. Lunch entree was delicious.

This is the second time I've had the enjoyment and benefit of visiting this fine establishment. The staffs professionalism and service is beyond reproach. The food is beautiful and a gastric orgasm, as the it is full of flavor. The second visit I had the pleasure of the Monte Cristo. The bread was sweet and fluffy with a crisp exterior the ham and bacon cooked to perfection. The cheese soft an gooey with a wonderful herby flavor of pesto. I shall bring my next date hear as the ambiance is classy and romantic. read more

*ll AT&T 5G Other V 7:21 PM Write your review Ö Review tips We met up with a from Napa. Strolling through downtown grand junction. It was too early for dinner so we were looking for coffee and saw the Bistro 317 advertising coffee. We stopped in for just coffee. We ended up having coffee, appetizers and finished with dinner. The food and drinks were a toss up mix of fun and great. The highlight of our evening was the wonderful young soul Ziz. He absolutely made our night. There was a minor issue with our meal and he jumped in to make it right. He is intelligent, sharp witted, attentive and absolutely what more establishments need to make a normal night special. Our initial visit was maybe $12. $200 later with absolute joy and satisfaction we left. read more

Excellent desserts and pastries! Our server was charming but still learning. The pork chop had good flavor. I was looking forward to the roasted vegetables on the pasta but they were not roasted at all. The chicken was only ok. Salads came after entrees. Some food was cold.... The location was convenient and not too noisy. We were seated right away with our reservation They also have outdoor seating on the sidewalk. Overall, we were disappointed. They are so close to getting it right. read more
