Nationally-acclaimed Juniper and Ivy-consistently ranked "Best of the Best" by San Diego Magazine, and recognized as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand establishment-is a foodie paradise on the edge of San Diego's Little Italy. 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.

    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.

    Service was excellent. Food was a disappointment. squash blossoms, oysters were dense and overpowered by crust. Squid ink pasta was overcooked and entire dish had only 1 scallop

    Pork belly inihaw and oyster sisig were on point, wonder if they have a Filipino chef 🤩. Service was impeccable. Our dessert Yodel was one of the best if not THE best. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
