   Food was fun, creative and delicious. From the small plates and appetizers, continuing to the large plates and daily features it was easy to build a meal that seamlessly flowed together. We went with a seafood theme on our choices. Starting with the oysters, and then their take on the very en vogue jalapeño and tuna in ponzu sauce dish (which was fantastic) and finishing with the spaghetti Nero with scallops and red crab (a daily feature) that was light (for a pasta dish, which is impressive), crisp and beyond flavorful! Also, a must have is the house made sourdough loaf, if it’s available. So crisp and crunchy on the outside (the way bread should be) but spongy and moist and perfectly balanced contrast in texture on the inside. Pro Tip, save some of the bread to dip into ANY sauce your entree comes with, you won’t regret it. Kevin was our server for the evening and made the night that much better. He was professional, knowledgeable, made solid recommendations and was easy to relate to. He Built a conversation and rapport with us. A skill that has been truly lost in modern restaurants, where the food art and reputation of the establishment is assumed to be all you need to enjoy your time there. He made us feel welcome and was a nice addition to the evening. Juniper and Ivy is a must try, we will be back!

   Went there for dinner and everything was so delicious!! Had the three cheese ravioli and the wagyu butter biscuits and I absolutely loved both of them! The service was great and our waiter was very attentive and had good recommendations. Price was good too, a little bit pricier than other restaurants but nothing too crazy. Will definitely be going back soon!

   I don't think this place is worth the price; nearly $1,000 for four people.

   OK restaurant. Although the place is beautiful with excellent vibe and service is at at a good level, the food was disappointing - some plates were less than room temperature, ALL portions were tiny, flavors were not delicious and the price correlation against quantity is absurd.

   Beautiful restaurant, with attentive service for our group of 10. Loved being seated at the chef's table and being able to watch them preparing our food. Request the house made sourdough bread upon seating; you won't regret it. It's served with both a honey butter and and herbed butter. Menu offered a great variety of meat and seafood options for guests.

    Excellent menu offerings and attentive service. Pricey and too loud.
