Very enjoyable night sitting at the counter watching the chefs cooking. The service was very good. The food was very interesting even for a vegetarian. I enjoyed the melon and feta salad! Though we didn't get it, the whole fried snapper looked phenomenal.

Our dinner was an amazing culinary delight! We enjoyed Carpaccio, Chicken liver Pate, pork belly, Hokaido Scallops, wonderful sourdough bread and the most delicious creme brulee. The waitress was the Chef's wife and she provided outstanding service. We will definitely be back.

A lot of sauce put in everything killing any taste Salt level in cioppino was probably higher than in the Dead Sea Spare your time, taste, and money DON'T GO!

Chef Alex is AMAZING! His creations are the best we have ever experienced. We recommend eating at the counter and enjoying the food prep and conversation about the dishes.

We have dined at Juniper & Ivy many times and always found the food and service to be excellent. This time there were many severs, but not one asked about our meal. The roasted vegetables were too spicy for my taste and the pasta dish was over cooked and tough. It was an expensive and disappointing meal.
EVER
Strongly recommend. Good service, good food. Everything as should be in a good restaurant.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure to dine at Juniper and Ivy for our 33 year anniversary. Not only did they have special menus for us, but we had a complete and very special experience start to finish.The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We had what I would consider the best seats in the restaurant. We sat up at the kitchen bar, and were treated to an amazing dinner and “show “ The kitchen crew were so impressive and friendly to each other and us. We had such a great experience, that we canceled reservations at another restaurant on the same block for later in the week, so we could come back and try more. Same amazing experience at the next visit. Highly recommend, when we come back to SD we will prioritize another visit.
Thank you so much for such a great experience!

We had a business dinner here and I'm still thinking about the whole experience a week later. The food is a culinary explosion in your mouth. Highly recommend getting several things and sharing with the table. The risotto and seafood pasta were incredible. I cannot even describe the flavors. The cocktails were also indescribably brilliant. Our server was perfect. She was friendly but professional. She had the perfect balance of being on top of everything, but not being on top of us. All around perfect experience.

La comida está súper deliciosa. Muy bien cocinada. Saben lo que hacen. Solo fue incómodo que tenía recervado TOP SEATING. Estuve en recepción (era solo yo) unos 10 minutos y nadie me revivía. Luego llegaron dos personas y vinieron. A mi me dejaron 10 minutos más esperando y todo el top sitting estaba vacío. Después tardaron como otros 10 minutos en llegar a tomarme la orden. Terminé empezando a comer el aperitivo hasta las 8:30pm. Cuando llegan con el plato te lo explican pero de una manera muy ordinaria. No sienten lo que están diciendo. Hago este comentario porque se que lo pueden ver y mejorar al respecto. Volvería definitivamente. La gastronomía del restaurante es muy muy buena!!!

What a total DISATER: 1) they ignored clearly stated OT resy food allergies & those stated again upon ordering from sweet, but new & lost server Daisy (yes, we couldn't find her when needed, she said she didn't even know some ingredients, she said new there x 3 months only...& our water guy said he working there x few weeks, 2nd server bringing plates said he started there x 1 month ago...quick TURNOVER is NOT a good sign) but MEGA dairy on the supposedly “dry potato” despite ordered with NONE, 2) very SLOW service despite the restaurant about 66% full on arrival & dwindled to, 25% full by 10pm, a 3) very RUDE & LOW-CLASS & SNIPPY GM Scott, 4) cold hot dishes (yes, the octopus & potatoes were near room temp), & 5) a few of our dishes were very bland (our neighboring 2nd table couple even RETURNED their dessert cake as they said that it was way too “DRY & HARD to eat” , 6) thick-cut steak fries wet RUINED & MEDICALLY DANGEROUS with mega large CHUNKS of salt all over them. And also, 7) our quiet & romantic assigned table for 2 soon had a table of 4 young & casually dressed maybe East Coast GANG-like tourist customers spewing loud & nearly every other sentence F-bombs & S-bombs as part of their regular speech, then came the N-word too. Yes, the server Daisy was told & nothing done to speak with them, then boss Scott found & told too, the same, not talk to them. I guess they & now mega rich & away Owner Michael like all of this ? Yuck. Each time I go (every 1-2 years) it is worse. It's not what it used to be. Never again.

Food was pretty good, enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered. Wagyu flat iron was probably the best. Server seemed irritated by the presence of my wife and I from the very start. Watched them treat other tables much better and more respectfully than us, very off putting and disappointing. Probably won't be back.

I enjoyed that the restaurant suggested a “family style” way of experiencing their food. The duck special was spectacular. The next time I am in town I would happily revisit Juniper & Ivy to see what the next special I could enjoy with my family and friends.
