Love the Olive Oil and the Balsamic. I went in today to purchase a gift. Bought the 6 pack of…read moresamplers. The cost was $36.00. I was told that they would not give me a credit on the "thank you" loyalty card. If I had purchased a $36.00 single bottle, they would have. Struggling to understand the splitting of hairs on this. I don't mind the premium pricing for a premium product, but not getting credit for a equal/simular purchase seemed odd. Left a sour taste for me.

You'll never drive by Grand Junction again without picking up some goodies here…read more This is one of those uniquely 5 stars places, you want to stop by every time your in the area. I just spent a few minutes in the store, out of curiosity, and ended up staying much longer because this is a place I'll be stopping by often. Why in the world would you spend 25 minutes in a vinegar shop? Because I just discovered that my favorite salad and bread dipping balsamic vinegar can be so much more than I've ever imagined. I've been using "balsamic" vinegar for a very long time. When I run out I go to the market, stop by the vinegar display, pick a Balsamic vinegar, and voila' check it off my shopping list. The only difference I've noticed is the labeling. Those days are officially past. Once in a while, I find a product that is amazingly good, and inevitably it's in a shop that's a bit inconvenient to get to. For example, there is one chocolate shop in New York City, that is the only outlet in the US for chocolate confections that are just sublimely superior to any other chocolate I've tasted anywhere in the world. Today, if I don't come home with a couple of boxes, you'll know I did not really make it to Manhatten. Bella Balsamic is right on the edge of becoming one of those special places The next time you're cruising past the Grand Junction signs on I70, take a long enough break to stop by this shop, pick out the vinegar you won't find anywhere else, Then go to the closed restaurant where you can get"naked' no dressing salad, use your new favorite dressing on it and savor the most flavorful low calorie meal you will remember.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more Anytime I'm in town, I ALWAYS stop in at least once everytime I pass through GJ. My go to is the Spicy Southwest Chicken sandwich, sometimes with a different choice of bread. I change up the soup or spud every other time I come in and usually satisfied with the choices. I've also tried the Jalapeño Turkey Crunch sandwich which is a close second to the Southwest. The service isn't always the best unfortunately, and as much as I love this place, that's what brings it down a star. But they do a good job of clearing off tables and keeping the whole place looking clean so I will give them that. Love this place and will definitely be returning the next time passing through.

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this McAlister's Deli location seriously needs improvement. The…read morefood itself was sort of bland and honestly not worth the extremely long wait times. It took almost 15 minutes just to place our order because the line was SO long, then another 30 minutes to finally get a table. After all that, we still had to wait around 20 more minutes for the food to actually come out. The staff didn't seem rude, just really exhausted and low-energy. The whole place felt stressful instead of welcoming, and there wasn't much pep or friendliness in the atmosphere at all. I think this place has lots of potential, and this might have just been busy workers during rush hour, but it really needs to be quicker, happier, and overall a more fun place to be. Right now, the experience just doesn't match the prices or the hype.

A Hidden Gem in Grand Junction!…read more The escargot with a hint of blue cheese was absolutely incredible -- rich, garlicky, and perfectly balanced.

Tonight was totally different than our first experience at The Winery. Our server seemed to think…read morewe 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.

This was a take out order and they were to be ready by 5:15. I arrived 5:13 to three people waiting for their food. (First sign of trouble in paradise). They Told me 20-30 mins. I left, but before coming back (at 5:45), I called. 3 times. I got messages of busy before getting through. (Second sign or trouble). Get through and they said 20-30 mins. This review was written at 6:14 pm (59 mins after the original time) with my food. I told the two people waiting after me that it was an hour for me to get my food. They looked dejected and frustrated. Only choose junct'n square if you want to waste time.

Much to my surprise, this isn't their first rodeo!…read more Our visit was a mixed bag, but overall, "We've been there and don't need to go again." Our waitress gave us some complimentary garlic knots. One was past its prime, the other was absolutely petrified. Hard as a rock. We mentioned this and she got us some fresh garlic knots which were much better. The marinara dipping sauce tasted like it came straight out of a can. We asked for the Ultimate Antipasto Salad. We were disappointed that it was so very much iceberg lettuce. It was inelegantly topped with chopped ham, some cheese, and diced tomatoes. All in all, it wasn't in any way, "Ultimate". We also had one of their round pizzas topped with pepperoni and Italian sausage. The Italian sausage was very good. It was - by far - the best thing we ate at Junc'n Square Pizza! The pepperoni was lifeless and bland. The crust was crisp in places and quite soggy in others. They went overboard with the cheese, which did not elevate the pie. All in all, this was a poorly executed American pie, not in any way an Italian pie. Maybe they were having an off day. Maybe they haven't quite settled into their new location. But, it felt like the staff hadn't really learned their way around the menu. If we hear glowing reviews in a few months, we might go back, but at present we're not inclined to repeat the experience.

We had a large order on a busy weekend night, and the ETA was 45 minutes. Understandable given how…read morebusy they were. I arrived at the store after 50 minutes to give a little time cushion, but it turned out they hadn't even started on our group's order. The total cost was over $250 for five meals. That's pretty pricey, but if the food was good, we wouldn't have minded. It was not. Many of the ingredients did not taste fresh and the overall flavor was pretty bland. Their customer service was actually phenomenal. The hostess was very apologetic, but it really wasn't her fault. It truly wasn't even the fault of the kitchen staff. They were drowning in there. I don't know if they need more staff, but it's likely they do. I know for sure that they need more training for efficiency and to revise their recipes and ingredient quality. If they were that behind on a busy night, it is easy to assume that they are also too busy to be checking their ingredients for freshness. But this can all be fixed. They obviously care a lot about what they're doing. They just need to get organized and work on the quality and efficiency to make their lives a LOT easier.

When you enter there isn't much space for more than a few people to wait as they are a wait to be seated place. It did take several minutes for anyone to emerge from the back to seat us. After we were sat, we were promptly greeted and given our drinks. We also ordered potstickers at the server's suggestion. We ordered off the lunch menu which had a great selection and also included an egg roll and either a salad or hot our sour soup. We decided to do the Garlic Chicken with Wild Mushrooms and Red Hot Beef both with jasmine rice. Fried rice is also an included choice or you can choose to up charge for lo mein or egg drop soup. As other reviews have said, you will need to pack your patience here on the wait for food. It took 15 minutes for the soup and salad to arrive, 30 minutes for our potstickers, and 45 minutes for the main. There were only two other tables when we arrived, and they had already ordered. Four more came in a little while later, but they received their entrees within five minutes of ours arriving. Definitely be patient as everything we had was worth the wait! The potstickers are made on demand and are so good! The hot and sour soup and salad were also very delicious! The star was really the Garlic Chicken with Wild Mushrooms. It was so full of flavor. The Red Hot Beef was also very good. We will certainly be back as we want to come for a dinner experience, but we might make it an early dinner instead of during the dinner rush. Come enjoy the excellent food and relax into the experience.
