I thought I would take my girl here for Valentine’s Day and I reserved a table 2 weeks prior. They lost the reservation. So I had to re schedule for a later time. Then I get there and make me pay $70 because they have “special menus” that night. they never warned me about it so I was forced to pay bc I can’t be cheap in front of my girlfriend…. Horrible experience, won’t ever come back.

New owners have turned this into a hidden gem. Perfect for a high quality meal while staying in Grand Junction. We were on our way back from Aspen and loved it!

For GJ this is a pretty solid spot. Great date night option. Reservation is a good idea especially if you have a party over two, seating is pretty limited. I think the menu and ambiance could use some jazz, however they just re-opened so maybe a work in progress ?Sierra, our waitress, was phenomenal and Lindsey cooked everything to perfection. Will be back.

Great restaurant. Excellent food and the servers were friendly and professional. I will definitely return. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the ambiance needs some work. The bar area is well-lit. It's relaxing and has that nice amber glow. The restaurant however, was lit like a cafeteria, which really made it hard to fully appreciate the delicious food. The lights were so bright I didn't realize there was a candle on the table! It's an easy fix! Change out those 75 or 100-watt recessed bulbs for something softer, like 45-watt. That's plenty of light to see by and it gives a much warmer feeling. I would match the light in the bar area. Great restaurant otherwise.

I had their chocolate eclair and it was the best I’ve ever had! Real cream and chocolate. And John is a very nice owner

Came upon this place walking from our hotel. So glad we did! while they have a limited menu everything we tried was excellent! Started with perfect Manhattan’s and the bartender hit it out of the park with icy cold delicious drinks. Had a crabcake and salad starter both were excellent. My husband declared it was the best crabcake he’s ever had.! Steak Frittes and fish of the day with delicious vegetables du jour were outstanding. I was even given a “taste” of a wine I was considering- never have had that offered before! Delicious food, reasonable prices. Will definitely be back next time in GJ

This is my first review of 317 after they rebranded, it was only for brunch and the review will be updated as I visit more. That said the interior space is comfortable and the staff is awesome and super helpful. They didn’t have the breakfast croissant since it’s Christmas Eve but it sounds p good. The pear pastry was really good, the quiche was OK though I like it with more veggies and a firmer set on the eggs, overall flavor was good. The plant based sausage roll/pastry thing was a little too much for me; think sausage log wrapped in puff pastry. The mimosas were great. I’m looking forward to trying the dinner there and updating the review.If you like French pastries you can’t go wrong but it’s not quite a brunchy place like some other restaurants.

Arrived at 615, stood in door way 10 minutes, never seated, never spoke with, empty tables, we left. Staff needs training.

Slow service and unknowledgeable. Screwed up salad so dinner came before salad. Did not ask us if we wanted salad anymore. They did take off bill and provide house salad. Dinner was ok, not great but ok. Did not refresh the water unless asked. Bread came very late. Try at your own risk.

The menu *sounded* great. We ordered the charcuterie plate and crab cakes. The quality of what arrived for the charcuterie plate was a joke. No French bread, crackers from a box that more suited to a children's lunch than a "modern French restaurant". And the meat was also very low quality and looked and tasted like it was grocery store brand deli counter meat. The cheses were also of low quality and a step above american cheese. The crab cakes were sour and lacked depth of flavor. Will not be back.

Pork chop and duck breast along with a total of 5 drinks $170.00. Absolutely would not recommend!

Le Rouge offers a charming (and surprisingly social) atmosphere. The cocktails are top notch, made with excellent ingredients and not watered down. The staff are always pleasant and prompt. If you're looking for a relaxed, romantic night out, then Le Rouge is where you need to be.

The final stop on our Main Street restaurant culinary tour was not worth the price tag by a long shot. While the service was fine and the atmosphere nice, our cocktails were mediocre (especially the strawberry balsamic one, which tasted like a daiquiri, honestly), the crab cakes were small and nothing particularly special (the sauce on top tasted like the sauce on top of the flounder, which was the fish special that day), caprese salad tasted like what I could make at home for a fraction of the cost, the best part of my steak and fries were actually the fries (no joke!). I felt like I chewed that steak a LOT even though I like it pretty pink. By the end of the meal, I was dreading the bill and declined dessert (at this point, I didn't have high hopes for the tiramisu). The bottom of the menu contains something to the effect of: "If you've eat % of your food, we cannot refund your money" which is odd, truthfully. I really, really wanted to like this place. But I just didn't. Fortunately, I had great company so the evening wasn't a total loss.

I went here for the first time this evening! The bartender had bubbly personality and the drinks were fantastic! I will definitely become a regular at this business seeing as the aesthetic and Vivacious energy was exactly what I was looking for. 10/10 would recommend
