We went here after recommendations from a local living in Clifton. He had said that the place has…read morewonderful sunset views on the deck, but it was too hot to sit out there when we went. However, the inside was gorgeous with tall windows and nice decor. You walk into the Maverick hotel and go the 4th floor to get there. 3 out of the 4 of us in our group ordered the Shakshuka, which was flavorful and delicious to soak the sourdough into. I recommend over easy or over medium for your eggs on this. Served with feta and sliced avocado on top. We also got the avocado toast with smoked salmon and were pleasantly surprised to see that it came with entire filet of salmon for only an extra $6. We were expecting a few slices of salmon, but this was great! The fresh toast was ordered for the table. I found it to be a 7/10. Loved the peach inside, but was underwhelmed overall. If you're a group of 4 maybe consider getting the fresh press coffee, which our server recommended we do. Perfect serving size for us, but if your group drinks a lot of coffee just get the drip. Chalee was our server, and she was wonderful and kind. AC was BLASTING, if you run cold bring a sweater.

My wife and I were really excited to check out Devil's Kitchen during our time in Grand Junction…read more It sits up on the rooftop of the Hotel Maverick. We decided to drop in without a reservation. The host was honestly pretty weird about it. He told us he had to go ask his waiters if they would even agree to take us. Truth be told, that is a bizarre way to welcome paying guests. They ultimately found a spot for us. Then they abandoned us for a solid fifteen minutes before anyone even approached the table. We finally ordered our drinks and watched another twenty minutes tick away. I went with the CMU Centennial Manhattan. It is built with a Colorado bourbon, sweet vermouth, local hot honey, bitters, and a bordeaux cherry. A proper Manhattan needs a careful balance between the whiskey and the sweet vermouth to round out the bite. Honestly, they were just way too heavy-handed with that hot honey. It was so aggressively spicy that it just wasn't enjoyable. My wife ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop. Hers was actually perfectly balanced with a really nice citrus kick. We put in an order for the Deviled Kitchen Eggs. Another twenty minutes passed before they hit the table. They make them with a tempura fried egg white and an herb yolk. I appreciate the attempt at a crispy texture. They were decent but ultimately nothing special. My wife ordered the Bison Tip Pappardelle. I decided on the Roasted Dirty Hippie Half Chicken. They use a local Palisade beer marinade for the chicken. I ordered it with duck fat potato dippers and truffle yucca on the side. Another thirty minutes crawled by before the main courses arrived. Both dishes were just huge letdowns. The pappardelle noodles were completely stuck together in a starchy clump. The wild mushroom cream sauce was overly sweet and cloying instead of savory. The bison meat was tough and tasted exactly like plain boiled beef. There was absolutely nothing enjoyable about that pasta dish. My chicken wasn't any better. It had a terribly rubbery texture. It felt like it was roasted three days ago and lazily reheated. The skin was soggy and gross instead of crisp and properly rendered. The duck fat dippers were completely missing that deep, savory richness you expect when cooking with animal fats. The truffle yucca was actually pretty tasty. A good side dish just can't make up for a terrible main course, though. We didn't bother asking for a second round of drinks. The food was so poor that we skipped dessert and just asked for the check. The panoramic view of the Colorado National Monument from the rooftop is fantastic. A beautiful sunset just isn't enough to excuse a bad dinner, though. We expected a much higher-end culinary experience. What we got felt like a bunch of college students running a very disorganized experiment. I would definitely skip this spot.

The food we got takeout was fine, but they were horribly disorganized for our pick up…read more The restaurant directs you to DoorDash to order, but when I got there, they were confused about how to check the DoorDash orders. I arrived 10 minutes after the order was supposed to be ready, but it was clear that they hadn't really checked any of their DoorDash requests and didn't really start preparing anything until I got there. So we got the food about 45 minutes later unexpected. When the takeout was finally delivered, the host assured me there were knives forks and napkins for two people, but in fact when I got back to the hotel, there were no eating utensils in the package. These might sound like little annoyances, but when you were traveling on the road for multiple days, the added inconvenience of late delivery no way to eat the food made the experience pretty awful. The restaurant seemed really understaffed, and didn't really get the concept of customer service.

Much better than I remembered from 2013, but some friends said give it another shot. So I did. They offer all the standard Italian favorites you'd expect, I decided to go with a pizza option. The Supreme pizza was spot on -- loaded with toppings, perfectly cooked, and exactly what I needed that day. It definitely hit the spot. One of the best additions is the sandwich shop, The Cutting Board. It's a great bonus, especially for lunch, giving you even more options if you're in a hurry or just craving a sub instead of pasta or pizza. Not sure if it's a partnership or just sharing space, but it's great and The Cutting board in the past has been a great lunch destination. Overall, good Italian food, great lunch option, and a place I'll definitely return to.

They had plenty of outside area (a patio with seating and some open space where you can enjoy a drink while waiting to find a seat somewhere) which was perfect for me because I got a cocktail and Togo food. Lots of people had raved about the Massaman katsu curry so I had to try it! It did not disappoint! At first I was disappointed to see how full the bowl was but the amount was PLENTY! I was stuffed after a few corn and about half the curry plate. I am so happy I tried this place out! Will definitely be trying it again when I'm back in town!

I also really appreciated that they had hard kombucha on tap, which was a unique and welcome option for me. I spent most of my time out on the outdoor patio, which is very nice and was filled with lots of people hanging out, making for a really lively and fun environment. However, my biggest complaint about this place was that the food was pretty bad; while I understand that it's primarily just a brewery, I was still quite disappointed by the quality, especially since the menu items were not cheap. Come for the beers, skip the food and same yourself some dough figuratively and literally.

This restaurant is a couple of minutes off the interstate. Decor is basic but clean. Restrooms were clean. Restaurant employees were pleasant and attentive. While you eat off of paper plates, the food itself is delicious. We had to try the jalapeño cheese bread and it couldn't have been better. A little thicker crust on that (compared to thinner on pizza) with what tasted like olive oil on the crust, Italian seasoning and lots of gooey cheese. Thinly sliced jalapeños gave it great taste with just a hint of spice. The pepperoni pizza was flavorful with the crust having a good chew. Side house salad was surprisingly impressive with a fresh spinach base and fresh toppings.

When he pulled up to PizzAmore, I thought he'd lost his mind. However! He'd learned that they do have some vegan cheese available. Since I dearly like breathing, and my lungs do not appreciate cheese or dairy products, this was quite a lovely surprise. Don't get me wrong, I do not love most vegan cheeses at all. But to find a pizza place that was inclusive for my dietary needs? That was amazing and worth an additional star just for that. For weeks of our RV journey, I've been craving a Hawaiian pizza. But I didn't have any kind of a good vegan mozzarella. so finding a restaurant with the palatable, vegan mozzarella, was a lovely surprise. The pizza itself was quite tasty. It was very well cooked, and even the crust had a good flavor. Our total for 2 personal pizzas and two drinks was $38 if I remember correctly. However, my husband did not love his veggie pizza. We both expected it to have a lot more vegetables on it. At the time that we were leaving the young man serving was making a veggie pizza that had a lot of veggies! So I think maybe we ordered incorrectly. Before leaving, I did talk to the owner about buying really excellent vegan cheese from rebelcheese.com. They just came out with their mozzarella, and I ordered two as they came with other cheeses, and I am so happy! It taste like real mozzarella! Unfortunately, they don't make the same cheese consistently. They have quite the rotation. But the PizzAmore pizza with that would be mind blowingly delicious!! But I would absolutely go back to this family run business. Truly favorable pizza with vegan cheese, which was quite the surprise!

The greens added a little kick, the onions perfectly sliced; almost paper thin. The green chiles cut into little morsels add that Smokey bit we crave when we think of fiesta style foods. There were bits of queso fresco crumbled over the whole thing, giving that tang. Even the brown rice was treated with the utmost respect and has the most amazing flavor and hearty texture! Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

Service…read moreis minimalist by design, ambiance and decor are nice but dark & dreary during the winter months due to the lighting. I could mention several criticisms of recent managerial decisions, but I'll just limit it to one. The "American Breakfast" has disappeared, replaced by an a la carte ordering model. I assume this reflects price creep and the reality that the market will not support a $20 counter-service breakfast (especially one that prompts for pre-tipping) when a comparable $12 option is available across the street at a full-service restaurant. Combined with long wait times and lukewarm food, caused by either amateurs in the kitchen or lackadaisical food delivery by the counter-staff, Cafe Sol has regretfully moved to my "occasionally OK" list.
