Great time here. Sat at the counter next to the pass line with the sous expediting. Service knowledgeable and friendly. Sommelier Dan(I think)did a good job helping out with the burgundy-heavy list. Great flavor combos. A tiny bit of sweetness in most dishes. Nice room, not too noisy. Go if you can.

Oh wow! Creative and delicious, absolutely worth going. I have to try and talk myself out of coming here again tomorrow, I don't think I can! They brought their take on a delicious deviled egg. I sat at the bar so I could try both the full menu and Juni menu. From the Juni menu I had the wagu sliders, absolutely delicious. From the full menu I had the shrimp Thai salad (I want to eat this everyday) and oyster sisig, then finished with dessert, sticky coffee pudding. All extremely delicious! 😋 Service is phenomenal and a lovely atmosphere.

Where to begin. 12/10 experience. Chef Alex greeted me and my wife immediately sitting up at the rail. Server was attentive and helped with tons of questions. Over the past few years I’ve not had great luck with restaurants whether it was food quality or price being outrageous and the food being average. Alex made sure we had a good night and more. I spoke with one of the sous chefs and he walked me through how to prepare duck at home. Service from the team was top to bottom incredible. Thank you to the restaurant team, we will be back.

One of the best fine-dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, Michelin star restaurants included. I took my husband here for his 49th birthday, and Juniper and Ivy exceeded every expectation. Every dish just kept getting better, starting with an unforgettable amuse bouche and ending with an otherworldly dessert. The wagyu carpaccio was hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and the wagyu sirloin and seafood pasta were flawless. Incredible service, thoughtful cocktails, and a beautiful industrial-chic space that feels warm and inviting. Highly recommend. Everyone should eat here at least once. We will be back!

I visited Juniper & Ivy on a weekday evening, and the place had a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere. The interior felt modern and a bit industrial, with an open kitchen that makes the dining experience more engaging. It was busy, but we were seated within a reasonable time. The food was well-prepared and nicely presented. Some dishes stood out more than others—there was a good balance of flavors, though a couple of items felt a bit overthought rather than just comforting or straightforward. Portions were moderate, so it works better if you’re planning to share a few plates. Service was generally attentive, though it slowed down a little during peak hours. Overall, it felt like a solid dining experience, just not something I’d call unforgettable. I’d go back, but probably more for a special night out rather than a casual meal.
