The atmosphere was great and the food was good - only that the bread for the cheese plate was charred on the grill and tasted like it was char build-up transferred from the grill, rather than freshly toasted/charred. Nice flavours in the seafood linguini and pear salad. We would even consider going back if it weren't for the totally lacking hygiene of the servers. We can't really get over the fact that our male server seemed sick and very sniffly, and repeatedly wiped his nose on his hand, meanwhile handling serving utensils, serving customers their plates, opening bottles (touching bottle mouths), etc, without appearing to wash hands in between. We also noticed the female server a number of times wiping her nose on her hand, again followed by no hand washing step! There was a definite lack of hand hygiene/general hygiene that we found shocking for a fine dining establishment. Perhaps the owners will want to discuss this with staff? I tried emailing privately but the email (found on the website) bounced back. I have worked in food service for many years and I understand the challenges, but this level ignorance to hand hygiene, and wiping hands on your nose!! It's unsanitary and public health violation.

Always a top notch meal!! Service by Danielle was exceptional. The food was plated beautifully and didn't disappoint on the flavours. Had the Seafood cakes which had the perfect flavours and were done to perfection. Had the Black Cod served over lentils. Delicious!! Cod was perfectly cooked as well. Our party of six were all equally impressed with their meals as well. Excellent!!!

We loved the return of Cinq du Sept nights, we also enjoyed all the small plates that we ordered. Oysters, Buratta, sliders, truffle fries, charcuterie. The arancini were a little cold in the middle but good. We loved the new cocktails. Overall it was an excellent night. Please keep these nights, especially for patio weather ?

The food was absolutely spectacular and we sampled many items! We were all first time customers and will definitely be back. Our server Andre was just excellent as well - awesome personality, informative and great service.

Where do I start?!? Service forward! Took our jackets, pulled out our chairs! Had proper options for water and drinks! Communication was beyond expectation! Service 10 star easily if not 15! Then the food…. Let’s start with the bone marrow starter…. That’s real food and it was really really good! The filthy martinis also to die for! Then we ordered a seafood linguini…. Pffff literally rival some of the best food we have had in Italy! My risotto….. ha with smoked trout! The trout was perfect! The risotto hallelujah thank you Jesus.So your reading this and you probably think I own the place or something… so I’ll give your the negatives now ok ready?!?!Portions to big for me… I’m six foot 200lbs and love to eat lolThat’s all I have! God loves you!

Always a pleasure, food was incredible. Got the charcuterie as my main bc I'm in love with it! A little sad they removed the crème brule fois gras as it was my fav thing on the board. Despite this, still delicious. Everyone else loved their meals. Husband got the mushroom ravioli and said it was very good.

Our waitress was very attentive and engaged with us. The food was excellent. My daughter had the burger which was cooked a little rare but she never asked to have it more on the medium side so really not complaining she still said it was good. Desserts were delicious.

Food was great. One of the best seafood pastas I have had in a long time. Only wish there would have been some cheese with the charcuterie board. Otherwise everything was great.

The food was indeed enjoyable. However, the website claims to draw inspiration from "Bouchons Lyonnais," yet I found that assertion to be somewhat inaccurate. Typical dishes like salade lyonnaise, quenelles, coq au vin, and andouillettes were absent. Only a few items, perhaps around five, truly represented traditional French cuisine.
Food is amazing, service is terrible. Took 50+ minutes after being seated for our drinks to arrive. Been here before and it was a similar experience. Would order from this place if they do pick up as the food is awesome, but would not recommend to dine in.

Date night or dinner with friends, you can't go wrong with Juniper. Plenty of low carb and keto friendly options along with all that a carb-lover could ask for makes Juniper an easy spot for everyone to relax and enjoy good food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.Do make reservations - there are not many tables, so walk-ins are not a sure bet. Small bar and decent wine options.Bottom line: you'll walk out happy and satisfied.Dietary restrictions: Low carb friendlyKeto friendlyCarnivore friendlyPaleo friendly
One of the best restaurants we've been too. Great meal, service, ambience. Our server Jen, is friendly, attentive and made our evening. Highly recommend Juniper Dining Co and we will be differently going back.
Attended for V-day prix fixe menu. Great food but service was very slow. We were ~40 minutes before first course came. Tables around us (and seated after us) received their food around the same time. I don't think we got there at an « off time » but each course was very, very slow to come out. We've been here before and absolutely loved the meal and service was great. Just a fell short this time.
We went for our Valentine's Day dinner, the place was like sitting on a conveyor belt . The tables were placed extremely close to each other, the person next to me could hear our conversation. Not a place you can think of having a romantic conversation. The food was very sumptuous & our server was amazing he kept checking on us & was very courteous.
