"Great adult’s Italian spot. This is grown up Italian done right. Easier to get into than Red Ash and slightly more accessible across the board for most palates, this is an excellent option for a sophisticated but easy night out. The beef carpaccio was excellent. Chef needs to teach others how to fry capers. The technique used on such a small piece was phenomenal. The savory “stracciatella” is exquisite. Do not sleep on their house made cheeses. Pro tip: The bar’s short side is the best seats in the house. There are three right in the middle of the two sides of the kitchen. It is a wonderful dinner and a show. It’s a high end spot that loves to get to know their regulars. It’s like cheers but high end Italian. Come hungry leave comfortably cared for and happy."

"We reserved seats for a Thursday night at the chef's counter which I recommend to see the kitchen at work. You can't go wrong with the standard indoor seating if the chef's counter isn't available. We had no wait and service was prompt. We chose The Prix Fixe option and our server, I think his name was Josh, explained the menu and options very well and our dishes came out in a timely manner, not rushed or a long wait. He also made sure we didn't have any dietary restrictions. Each dish was flavorful and for us overall it was the perfect amount of food. They're smaller dishes but a good way to try out a little bit of everything. Come with a decent appetite! The service was great and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Will be coming back to try out the a la carte and those delicious desserts!"

"Service was amazing! Waiter was super friendly and chefs table experience was pretty cool. Food was just okay. Nothing really stood out, other than the bread and salad. I don’t regret this experience, but I’d be okay never coming back. Pasta flavor was eh and the prime rib was over rated. Total price of meal was $145.99 ($20 tip is included). Thank you all at Juniper for everything service was outstanding."

"Our first impression of the restaurant was that it was very nicely decorated. We sat outside on a perfect fall day. However, I was bitten by unseen insects so I had to put on my long sleeve jacket. We did the prix fixe tasting menu with the wine pairing. The wine chosen by the waiter was always good but the food didn’t live up to the hype. The starter courses were better than the proteins. I found my short rib to be too dry. Also, the hamachi was a bit odd. Stick to a sushi restaurant if you want raw fish. The tomatoes, the salads and the starches were outstanding. We probably won’t return just because there are many other restaurants in the same price range that we’d choose over this one."
