I can't say enough good things about this place. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and shown right to a table. We were a little taken aback simply because we dressed as 'business casual' and the waitstaff were dressed to the 9's. But we noticed that almost everyone else there was dressed casually, so we relaxed (i.e. they seem to have a relaxed dress code). Our waiter was prompt taking our drink order (and the water was filled immediately). He explained the special (some sort of fish which both my wife and I thought sounded wonderful) and then let us take our time looking over the menu. When he came back, I asked him about the sautéed mushroom appetizer. He described it and we immediately ordered it. It came out piping hot, and I must say - my wife and I both were 'fighting' for each bite - it was AMAZING. The sourdough bread is fantastic (and was great to use to mop up the rest of the melted butter from the sauteed mushrooms). I ordered the bacon wrapped, blue cheese encrusted filet with the house mashed potatoes and my wife ordered the ribeye steak with the potatoes au gratin. Mine selection was pretty awesome. The kitchen burned the bacon, but the steak was done perfectly and with the blue cheese encrustment and the sauce that came with it, I just pushed the bacon to the side (note - if I had pointed this out, I have no doubt that the staff would have refired the entire plate - so that's on me). However, my wife's selection blew mine completely away. Her steak was done perfectly (medium-rare) and the au gratin potatoes were absolutely to die for (I may have stolen quite a bit from her plate). We have our favorite place in Loveland, Co (4th street chop house) and Colorado Springs, Co (Peppertree restaurant), and we've now added the Winery to that short list. Sadly, it's a little further than the other two, but when we come back to Grand Junction/Palisade, this is one place that won't be skipped! We definitely recommend this place. read more

First time visit to the Winery Restaurant and we were more than impressed! Our waiter John was phenomenal and provided incredibly prompt and attentive service! I had the 14oz ribeye steak along with augratin potatoes. A perfectly grilled cut of meat and not a hint of gristle. I'd definitely order again. My partner ordered the pecan, spinach and goat cheese stuffed chicken breast, again fantastic! For dessert we had the Palisade, a five layer chocolate mousse pie, a delightful end to our wonderful dinner. read more

Lovely spot for a meal. Accessed through an ivy covered brick-lined alleyway, it feels as though you are entering an old family winery. There is a lovely patio seating area and plenty of nice seating areas inside. This restaurant is over fifty years old and they do service well. Our server was Jackie and she was very nice and knowledgeable as well. Everyone who worked there was pleasant and offered wonderful service. The food and drink were wonderful. Everyone at our table had the beef except for me. I enjoyed the pork, which was cooked to perfection. read more

We were visiting Grand Junction, CO and looking for a nice restaurant with staff that knows how to cook a good steak. Amazingly, finding someone that knows how to cook a steak can be difficult. After quick Google and Yelp searches, we learned about the Winery. I made a reservation online, and I'm glad I did because it is a busy place. Located in an alley, the historic building used to house a horse drawn carriage fire station. Pretty cool to think about. To me the building was quite charming. I loved the outside walls covered in vines and the old wooden door that opened into quaint, cozy rooms covered in wood and old bricks with beautiful stained glass windows. I felt like I had stepped back in time to an old timey tavern. When we arrived, our table was ready. We ordered a couple of drinks and decided to go straight for our meal. I decided on the 6 ounce filet. It was locally sourced and wrapped in apple wood smoked bacon. I asked for medium well and it was cooked to perfection. I ordered a loaded baked potato to go with it. It was a delicious meal, and I had leftovers for the next day. For the amount of food we got, the service and the quality of the meal. I would highly recommend The Winery for a date night out or other special occasion. read more

* Bacon wrapped scallops- scallops & bacon cooked to perfection! The apricot jam was a delicious addition, but maybe just a tad too much on the plate. *Bleu cheese encrusted Filet mignon (medium rare)- again, COOKED TO PERFECTION! The red wine reduction was a tad bit sweet, but delicious nonetheless the less. *Winery Potatoes- these were decent, but I'll order the au gratin next time for sure! The bartender, Michael was a delight and helped me make some sound decisions after a 5 hour road trip. The owner even walked up and asked how I was doing- I thought he was the GM at first, but Michael confirmed he was the bigger man in charge lol. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality and service of this spot. The ambiance is super chill, but upper class. I will definitely be back! read more

Tonight was totally different than our first experience at The Winery. Our server seemed to think we needed an explanation on the difference in fattiness between a ribeye, New York strip, and a filet mignon which when you're ordering $60-$70 steaks seems kind of unnecessary. He also described the filet as very lean, which while true is still a delicious cut of meat. Then he started explaining what the Oscar topping option and it was just too much, so I told him we understood the basics. Our first time, we received a description of the specials and asked if we had other questions about the menu - perfectly appropriate. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops which we've had plenty of time, but these were topped with an apricot chili sauce that totally overpowered the taste of the scallop. All you could taste was the bacon and what tasted like a barbecue sauce - not an apricot chili glaze. We'll never order those again. The steaks were perfectly cooked as always, but the baked potatoes were luke warm and barely hot enough to melt the butter and definitely not hot enough to melt the cheese. We had a show to attend so there was no time to send anything back. At this point, we're not hurrying back for another dinner for 2 with a $300 price tag, which includes a $130 bottle of wine. read more

The food was delicious! We had the sea bass and ny strip and both very good! Great service too!!

The winery offers excellent food, excellent drinks, and professional and attentive service, in a very cool setting with great ambiance. I am not judging The Winery on one visit. I am judging it on at least 40 -50 visits over the last dozen years or so , and it has been consistently excellent all the many years it has been under current ownership. My wife and I have enjoyed great dining experiences all over the world, but when we are back home in GJ, we know the overall experience we find at the Winery is as good as anywhere we go. Steve and his amazing staff genuinely care about providing the best experience possible for their guests and it shows. read more

Amazing staff, amazing food. We went on a Monday night and meal and service was excellent

Such an amazing place. Weekend date , special occasion etc. food is always phenomenal and staff is on point. Highly recommended.

Came on a Wednesday for my bday dinner. This restaurant is beautiful, classy, quiet and the server, Nathan was so attentive, kind, and gave great suggestions. Even the manager greeted us and came to check on us. The room is spotless, the music is quietly playing so you can speak to the person next to you, the lighting is calming, and even the plants are real. The hot rolls, delicious, the salad was great and the server was thoughtful enough to bring two plates for sharing. We ordered the filet mignon with 3 cheese potato, and the wagyu with mack & cheese. Incredible. For dessert we had a nice cheesecake slice. Did not get to try any of the specialty drinks, but it's on my list for next time. Everything was perfect! read more

Showed up a bit early for our 730 reservation. Planning on a nice dinner and we're prepared to spend $300 for our meal. We were greeted by a bald guy that told us that there was no room at the bar and we should just go across the street to a bar and wait. - totally spoiled our evening. Not how you greet a guest to this great little town. I know you might be busy, but apparently accommodating guests is not in your repertoire. I'm sorry you missed out on our business. Please try to be a bit more flexible. You were rude and followed my wife into the street yelling at her and said I'm rich, and I don't need your business. Who ever you are. Learn some customer service please. read more

Honestly, a huge disappointment. While the atmosphere and service is pleasant, the food was mediocre for the cost. We instantly regretted the restaurant choice mid-meal. There's nothing I can point to in either the appetizers nor main dishes that wowed us. Price is inflated by at least 30% for what you get. read more

Me and my female partner had a dinner there a couple of weeks ago and the food and service was excellent I Ty very much we will be back

Fantastic food, but the owner caused a terrible scene when he flipped out over us arriving with three more diners on a 12-person reservation. By flipped out, I mean almost making a 27-year-old woman cry and having her boss want to fist fight the dude for being so rude to us. It was embarrassing. What was the catalyst to this argument? We asked to have a two-person table joined to our large table. That was it. Our group should have left -- in fact, I voted to do just that -- but enough of us decided to stay that we did, rewarding the owner with $2,000 that he didn't deserve. Ouch. --The staff was great. No complaints. If you're reading this, consider working elsewhere. --Food was excellent, likely the best steak I've eaten. Kudos to the chef. --Owner's outburst was something I'll never forget. Sir, please get help or hire a manager, because you aren't wired for this. PS: I never leave reviews. However, if doing so prevents another person, couple, or group from dealing with the wrath of this pycho, I'll consider that a win. read more

Seven siblings flew in from around the country to surprise our 80 year old brother at this restaurant. Planned on having him walk in the bar and see us all . Owner was nasty to us , wanted to have a drink in bar and told us we had to "go take your seat , I hired a waiter to take care of you! If you don't go seat , find another restaurant ". We are in our 60's all professionals and very respectful. Food was over salty , Chilean sea bass was fishy , and owner just hovered over our table staring us all night until we received the bill over $1300 . read more

Food, drinks (peach martini), ambiance and service were top notch!! Hope to dine here again.

Been quite awhile since I've been there because it is very very pricey but very elegant. Being here a long time and wish we could go more often but it's actually for elites and very wealthy people. read more

The food was average, and the server was pleasant. However, this restaurant is NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. They do not provide high chairs or booster seats and fail to inform patrons of this policy until after they are seated. They clearly saw the infant in my arms This lack of accommodation can be challenging, especially when attempting cut a $70 steak while holding squirming an infant. They don't say you can't come with kids but they make it absolutely inhospitable. The manager was unapologetic and stated that guests are expected to bring their own seating for children. The restaurant does not disclose this information on its website or upon arrival. I hope this review helps others avoid the inconvenience we experienced. If you're dining with young children, BE AWARE YOUR EXPECTED TO BRING YOUR OWN HIGH CHAIR. Alternatively, consider supporting other family-friendly establishments that offer a more accommodating experience. read more

The restaurant is on Main Street down a small alley. The entrance has a beautiful wood door. Immediately your greeted when you walk in. My husband and I were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and patient, I couldn't decide what I wanted. Our food was absolutely delicious, it was pricey but you get what you pay for. I will recommend the restaurant to others. read more

Service was very good. Had the Mixed Griil, includes (2) pcs (size of 50cent pc) of filet (very good, tender)and (3) very old,fishy tasting scallops (no lemon or glaze) . Augratin potatoes-dry. And tasteless, rubbery green beans (no garlic or onion or anything on them) Very disappointed. Husband had the lamb chop - Delicious, mashed potatoes (meh) same rubber green beans. No salads as a salad is another $20+ each. Total bill nearly $300.00. Also advised it was our "43" wedding anniversary when reservation made, thinking we would be given a quiet table..NOPE.. Stuck us by the kitchen, packed room, could barely hear the waiter, could not carry a conversation due to noise. Went to the ladies room and found the rest of the restaurant nearly empty and very quiet. Won't go back. read more

After a long day of fun and sun in Grand Junction, we were hoping for a stellar dinner in a nicer environment. We were so pleased with our dinner tonight at The Winery! We didn't have a reservation but they fit us in right away. The cheese plate was great, the steak fantastic (and perfectly cooked), and the gratin potatoes were super good. Our server Jesse was attentive and very fun- overall a fantastic evening and some of the best service we've had in awhile. I'll be back next time I'm in Grand Junction! read more

For the best food, service, and overall experience in Grand Junction, CO, you should definitely visit The Winery. Last night, we started our evening with the Macadamia Nut Encrusted Wheel of Brie platter, and it was phenomenal. My favorite dish is the tempura shrimp, but their steaks are also outstanding. Plus, they have an extensive list of wines to satisfy any palate. The staff provides exceptional service, and you can always count on leaving with a wonderful feeling. read more

Beware. If you have children pick somewhere else. They won't accommodate or help you feel comfortable to dine there in the least.

Excellent meal. From start to finish. Before I mention the food I have to mention the staff and restaurant in general. Warm and welcoming environment. Our waiter and the young lady helping him provided an excellent experience. The menu was explained and our glass never went empty. I order the Spinach salad with the bacon dressing and it was great. For my Filet Mingnon I ordered it medium rare and it was delicious. Our desert was their signature chocolate desert and it was gone real quick. One of the most memorable dinning experiences. read more

Great upscale dining, friendly, prompt service at Grand Junction's foremost dining establishment. I don't think the decor has changed much in over fifty years but it's not dated in its feel. We were there for our 46th wedding anniversary and were made very welcome for the occasion. I enjoyed their mixed grill, my husband was impressed by the Scottish salmon and for dessert we were treated to a lovely chocolate lava cake served a la mode with locally made Enstrom's ice cream. We've enjoyed many fine meals there over the years and look forward to savoring many more. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the food here, I had the pecan, spinach and goat cheese stuffed chicken breast. Highly recommend. Also the "winery potatoes" were delicious, recommend getting that as your side. My husband had the filet, it was cooked perfectly to order. All around good food. The service was good. Our server in particular was nice and very attentive, but just a little odd. Nothing wrong with that, just felt like all of our interactions were somewhat awkward. As far as ambiance, the place has nice low, romantic lighting and white table clothes. The decor could use some updates. I think the outdoor patio would be fun when the weather is good though! read more
