What a pleasant experience! Cozy atmosphere with an awesome playlist, delicious food, perfect service! Strongly recommend. Thank you.
Service was top tier from all staff members. Food is on the pricier side but well worth it! The short ribs and date cake are to die for! The short ribs were tender but had a nice char on the edges and the date cake was fresh and tasted like it was made in house.
Really, this is as good as it gets for me. I am sure there are other spots in Greater Boston with better X, Y, or Z, but, for my money this is where I am going when I want to maximize my dollar while holding a very vary high bar on flavor and quality. Everything was so so good. Memorable when my memory generally isn't so good. Yes, we will be back. Just a question of how often.
Such a lovely restaurant. My husband and I sat outside. The food and service were fantastic.
We took the train to Wellesley just for this restaurant and it was beyond worth it! Such a cozy atmosphere, yummy drinks, and amazing food. We loved the red pepper dip (def recommend at least on of the dips to try their delicious bread), and our entrees (short rib and schnitzel) were some of the best meat dishes we’ve had ever at a restaurant. Highly recommend this place!!!
The food at Juniper is outstanding! We ordered all the dips which were served with pillowy soft pita bread. We then had the mussels, curry cauliflower salad with quinoa falafel, fattoush salad and ended with the date cake. Everything was delicious! The entire staff from entrance to exit were welcoming and the atmosphere was great.
I liked the atmosphere here and the food and drinks are delicious. My girlfriend said this was one of her favorite spots and now I see why. The Eve drink (can't remember the exact name but has apple and cognac in it.) Is amazing. It's one of those drinks you sip because it was so good and strong. We got the excellent dips and this was the first time I had Schnitzel before and it was so damn good I am coming back to get it again!
Wow is what I would say if I could describe Juniper in one word. This restaurant is absolutely incredible, read on to see and learn why: 1. I love that the restaurant does not take reservations. If you want to eat here you have to commit to being flexible with your time. The chance of getting a table or seat at the bar is likely due to the fact there is not a list before a list. We walked into a busy restaurant and immediately got two seats at the bar. We put our names down and 20 minutes later we were at a table. 2. The service is fantastic. From the bar staff to the staff that took care of us at our table, they were knowledgeable, kind, and did not rush us at all through the process of eating there. 3. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to allergies. If you have food allergies this is a fantastic place to go. 4. The food is delicious. I’m one of those people who does not usually eat leftovers. The next day I ate what I took home. Everything was amazing and I can’t wait to come back to try more menu items. Overall, well worth the time investment to come out and see what happens. You will most likely get a table and the whole experience is worth it. Check out my photos for examples of the space and food.
Delicious meals and cocktails. I would highly recommend this place. We had the three mixed spreads.Chicken Schnitzel, Chicken Kabobs was yum. The old fashioned drink with mustard was also a delicious pairing with our meal. I would certainly recommend going to this restaurant and will be going back soon. Great for a date night. The person at the reception was so sweet as well. Served us bites while we waited. The little things that count.
Delicious food, fast service, lovely moody atmosphere. I’ve always had great service here and the staff is very friendly. I love the fat soft pita and the dips, always a pleasure to see what new dip they have on seasonal rotation. The mussels are delicious and flavorful. Drinks can be expensive but are quite good.
