    We had a wonderful time, the food was great and flavorful, and the service was excellent. We were a party of six at a rectangular table, we would have been more comfortable at a round table, though there didn’t appear to be any. Not a deal breaker, just an observation. 😊

    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!
