Grand Junction's most acclaimed restaurant showcasing western Colorado's excellent agricultural products - from Palisade peaches to local wines. The seasonal menu and wine bar celebrate the Grand Valley's remarkable farming heritage.
Bin 707 Foodbar at 225 N 5th Street in Grand Junction is the most acclaimed restaurant on Colorado's Western Slope, celebrating the Grand Valley's exceptional agricultural heritage — from the Palisade peach orchards that produce some of America's finest stone fruit to the vineyards that have established Colorado's wine country as one of the Rocky Mountain region's most distinctive appellations. Chef Josh Niernberg built Bin 707 as a wine-focused restaurant and farmers' market showcase that gives the Grand Valley's remarkable farming community the fine dining platform it deserves.
Colorado lamb chops ($38) sourced from Western Slope ranches are the kitchen's most celebrated protein preparation, served with seasonal accompaniments that reflect what the Grand Valley and surrounding region are producing. The Palisade peach salad (seasonal, $14) represents Bin 707's most distinctive regional dish — Palisade peaches, grown in the warm Grand Valley microclimate above the Colorado River, are considered by many food writers to be among the finest peaches produced anywhere in the United States, and this preparation showcases them at peak ripeness in late summer. Colorado wine flight ($18) from Grand Valley and West Elks appellations gives visitors a structured introduction to the state's wine country.
The restaurant space at 225 N 5th Street in Grand Junction's downtown core has the feel of a contemporary wine bar translated into a full-service restaurant — exposed brick, a long bar running the length of the room, and a design that keeps wine central to the experience. The wine list is Colorado-focused but extends to European producers who pair well with the seasonal menu. The intimate size means the kitchen can maintain quality control across a relatively small number of covers.
Bin 707 is open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner and is the destination dining choice for travelers exploring Mesa Verde, Colorado National Monument, and the Grand Valley wine country.
