   Took my husband for his birthday and the restaurant made it extra special with all the birthday touches. The food was amazing - we had the miso black cod, risotto and crudo! Highly recommend!! Izzy, our waiter was fantastic

   Chef Kinsella and his brigade created dishes that were perhaps some of the finest tastes that I’ve experienced here in America. We sampled many small portions with each one presented with extreme attention to detail. Outstanding! The front of the house was represented by Kurt gracefully. He created a flow for the dishes and perfect recommendations for wine pairings. Scott made sure we were in the perfect location and checked with us throughout the meal. This was a perfect dining experience that as a Chef, I was elated to experience.

   For context- we had our wedding reception here in June 2016. We love this place. However- our experience tonight was not great. Our server seemed upset that we only wanted to order from the small bites/share plates. She barely acknowledged us as she dropped the check- so you know we tipped her 30%. Food was ok, and this is likely our last time dining here based in the service we received. Honestly I’m bummed we’re not going to come back any time soon.

   Great drinks at the bar. Seated quickly and had some really great food - blackened miso cod was delicious. Lively atmosphere - very noisy, it suited our evening but I can see some people might struggle with it.

   Juniper & Ivy is, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences in San Diego. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale sophistication and laid-back West Coast charm. The service is impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Now, let’s talk about the food—because this is where Juniper & Ivy truly shines. The ever-evolving, seasonally driven menu is a work of art, showcasing bold flavors, expert techniques, and unexpected yet harmonious ingredient pairings. The signature dishes, like their famous “In-N-Haute” Burger, redefine comfort food with gourmet execution, while the house-made pastas are nothing short of perfection. And don’t even get me started on the small plates—each bite bursts with creativity and balance. Whether it’s the delicate crudo, the smoky roasted carrots, or the indulgent pork belly, every dish is an experience in itself. Pair it all with their expertly curated wine list or innovative craft cocktails, and you have a meal to remember. Juniper & Ivy isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, a celebration of flavor, and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier dining. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a meal worth savoring. Five stars, no hesitation!

    A truly sensational restaurant. Every dish was perfect. We sat at the Chefs Counter. It was fun to watch how they prepared so many delicious and complex dishes. My new favorite restaurant in San Diego.
