The kitchen delivers a constantly rotating, chef-driven menu that uses hand-selected, seasonal ingredients crafted with precision, passion, and creativity. Founded by Owner Michael Rosen, Juniper's kitchen is backed by a supergroup of culinary minds that produce one of the most refined yet imaginative menus in town, paired with an award-winning wine list from the city's top sommeliers.

From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred. The kitchen takes local fish and ingredients from area farms, then turns them into stunning plates with international flavors like pappardelle with sunchoke stroganoff or albacore tuna crudo with citrus vinaigrette.

    The service was great. The restaurant needs a refresh. There were doors open with chairs stacked in a couple of locations and the furniture and decide seems dated. The food was good!!

    Disappointing evening here. Service was slow. Waiter had a script but was disinterested. Food was ok but not good enough. Herb & Wood next door was streets ahead - so go there!
