Best service our waiter was incredible. Also, the cheeseburger was delicious so was the tempera shrimp.  The octopus was so tender and tasty would definitely recommend.

We’ve been coming to Main Street for many years. And it has always been a fantastic dinner with helpful and engaging servers and delightful ambience. The bartender is one of the best ever!

Beautifully remodeled. Very comfortable with a slight California vibe. Menu is awesome. Something for everyone. Sushi worth the trip by itself. Giovanni, our server, was very welcoming wanting to make our experience the first of many. Try the fried chicken sandwich, even if it is a dish you don’t usually consider. Only drawback - a little loud - but the restaurant was full and we chose to eat inside. We’ll be coming back.

Waiter was great! The only improvement I recommend is that the soup cup is ridiculously small as well as the water glass! I prefer ice in my water and a regular size glass please.

    I rarely write reviews like this, but our dinner last night was so great, I wanted share! Valet parking terrific in the pouring rain. Arrived a bit early for our reservation, but didn't have to wait long. Several comfortable seating areas in both the entry and bar area, so it didn't feel cramped with a ton of people waiting. Decor is super cool--contemporary, but cozy (I might suggest dimming the lighting-a bit bright). Our table was ready on time. Group of 7 ladies--and everything on the menu looked so good we couldn't decide. So we ordered a bunch of random things to share. Our server was awesome. Attentive, knew every inch of the menu, suggested some great additions/substitutions, kept drinks coming, didn't bat an eye at the annoying 7 diff checks, super nice and fun. The food came promptly and was SO good. Really good (and inventive) sushi rolls, fresh hamachi, huge kale salad, skirt steak/potatoes was perfection. Price points honestly not terrible compared to other restaurants in the area--appreciated a range of price points/items on the menu. You could make it a burger/fries night...or splurge for top-grade sushi and steak. A lot of new restaurants on North Shore last few months, most of which are still working out the kinks -- not the case with Juniper. It was stellar in every way. Can't wait to go back!
