    We ate at Juniper during restaurant week. The prefix menu offered items which were new and was reasonably priced. Food was well prepared and served at a pace which allowed enjoyment of each course. It was a Saturday evening when we ate and as expected the restaurant was quite busy, but the noise level was not so much that it disturbed the enjoyment of the experience. The only suggestion I would have was for the staff to work more in tandem. A couple of times someone at our table ran out of a beverage as well as surrounding tables, but the servers seemed focused only on their assigned area.
