As always, our meals were outstanding. The ambiance is lovely. The cocktails were fantastic. The wine menu is well-curated and when we inquired for a recommendation to pair with our meals, our server steered us to the perfect wines. The appetizer, salad and entrees were delicious. Once again, we can’t wait to go back.

We went for burgers, not realizing they had a brunch menu. We switched to brunch and enjoyed both the breakfast tacos and the breakfast flat bread. Both were tasty and fresh. Definitely go there instead of waiting across the parking lot at Buttrtmukk.

This is our second time eating at Juniper. We returned because the food was creative and super flavorful and the service was outstanding. Wasn't sure the second visit would meet this high standard, but in fact it exceeded it! Servers both times made clear that they wanted us to have an outstanding experience. They aren't just employees. They feel like co-owners.

I had a NY Strip Oscar Style and went with the Bernadine Sauce instead of their Hollandaise sauce. The steak was great and the crabmeat was very good, but the sauce was a little too lemony. I liked the carrots and broccoli and the asparagus with the Oscar style was very thin. My wife had the flourless chocolate cake and it was too creamy and not like a cake, more like a fudge.

Our experience was excellent. Everyone ordered a different entree and each one was cooked to order, delivered hot and flavorful. Our server was knowledgeable about wine and the menu options and was very attentive. We highly recommend.
