    I had a phenomenal experience at Juniper and Ivy. I made a reservation for my wife’s birthday and once I got there they had valet service for 15$ which for Downtown SD isn’t bad at all. Upon arriving we waited at a very nice, comfortable lounge area by the bar while our table got ready. Once we were seated the server Andrew gave us greeted us phenomenally, remembered the request I made upon making the reservation and fulfilled it expertly. I had initially checked the restaurant’s menu online to have what I wanted to order planned and my only critique is that there was a good amount of menu items in the website that either weren’t available or had different prices however I still rated them 5 stars because all the issues I had related to the website were smoothly resolved by both the manager and the server which easily removed all potential problems both regarding price and the availability of menu items. The food was just as good as the service and I would highly recommend anyone visiting San Diego or looking for a quality dining experience. The price is on the high side but I refuse to call it expensive because the amount you pay is on par with the experience you receive and I will absolutely be dining there again in the future. In conclusion 10/10 to Juniper and Ivy and a special shoutout to the server Andrew and to Whatever manager was on the floor the night of 20Dec2024.

    We were so pleased that Madison has brought back their delicious jambalaya! Having grown up in New Orleans, I can say that Madison‘s jambalaya is some of the best around! Also loved the live jazz, friendly staff, and good vibe of the place!

    Everything was perfect- the food, the service, even the beautifully decorated patio. It was a chilly night and we were concerned we would be cool dinning outdoors, but the heat lamps did the trick. They also offered throw blankets, but they were not needed. We enjoyed several different dishes, but the octopus and lasagna were my favorite!

It was beautiful experience especially the ambiance was so fantastic, our server Jonathan, he’s so great. The food kind salty (oven chicken) but the filet mignon was so good very tasty tender, and juicy it was perfect, my husband love it so much that his favorite. It’s 10 score for me. I love the place and definitely is a must to come back and highly recommend 😘

    My wife and I shared a ‘Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto’ pizza, and it was delicious—a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and salty flavors on beautifully baked dough. Our server, Kendrick, was patient and attentive, and the entire staff collaborated smoothly to ensure a great experience. We sat at the window area facing the parking lot, at their new round tables, which were surprisingly comfortable and quiet. It's been a while since we’ve eaten here, and, as expected, we had a wonderful experience. Thank you!
