Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We went to Juniper tonight! It's something we rarely get to do and we love it so so much! We had cocktails and mock tails. I had the boy orange and the slow blink, and my wife had the thing two. We started with the focaccia bread. My wife had the cheese plate with walnut cranberry bread, a combined goat, milk, and cow cheese and peach, chutney and caramelized, cumin pecan it was amazing. Next came the French onion soup, which was some of the best I've ever had and my wife had the beat and goat cheese salad with pistachio and mandarin orange. I had the sea scallops with mushroom risotto and fried leeks, and next the duck with a smoked lentil and mixed root vegetable balsamic glaze and carrot purée. Mashed potatoes were the best we’ve ever and they poached a lobster tail in butter and put it on top. It was phenomenal! Possibly one of the greatest things I've ever eaten for dessert. The strawberry cheesecake sundae and the blood orange sorbet. It was absolutely a dream.

So me and the girlfriend came here for our 4 year anniversary and I could not ask for a better place! They take reservation and we were able to put the reason for coming out and they definitely made it very special for us. As we walked in, it had the absolute perfect mood lighting for a calm dinner and the host(s) wished us a happy anniversary. The waitress we had was very insightful for the courses and the food recommendations. They brought us a free champagne-like drink (we weren't drinking alcohol). The food was absolutely cooked very well, I can not recommend the focaccia bread enough. Everything from the appetizer to the meal was prepared perfectly and cooked to order, moving into dessert, the owners even gave us a dessert to help finish off the anniversary dinner! I 100% recommend this place especially if you are celebrating something!

Our waiter, Corey, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and had perfect timing when checking on us. He even said that if you don’t like something, try it here, you’ll change your mind, and I completely agree. I typically don’t like tomatoes or mushrooms, but both dishes were incredible. We’ve already recommended this place to others and can’t wait to come back as soon as possible.
