    This was the Valentine's weekend scripted meal, very expensive, but the selections and choices were curated thoughtfully, delivered quickly, and the server, who had been at Juniper's since it opened, was extremely personable and quick. The tunes and the decor added to the experience. Would recommend

    Crabcakes are good, two small meatball size. Scallops are good, three to a meal. Food and service is always good. They bring one delicious roll for each customer with a balsamic and oil dip. A nice touch. We eat here 3-4 times a year. A favorite restaurant of ours. Never a bad meal.

    Our server Cary was helpful, professional and friendly in selecting both food and beverages. The beet burrata salad was outstanding. The pheasant special was delicious and included wonderful vegetables. We shared a crab cake which was light and somewhat creamy in texture. Excellent choice. My husband's osso buco tasted delicious but was slightly tough, hence the four star food rating. Cary's suggestion for a pinot noir was an ideal accompaniment for our meal. Will definitely return next time we're in Greenville.

    After receiving a gift card from our kids we went to Sassafras last night, for dinner, and it did not disappoint!! My husband had the ribeye and said it was the best steak he ever had. I had the stuffed fried chicken with brussel spouts, it was delicious!! Our server,Taylor was exceptional!! Checked in with us several times to make sure we were good with everything. Management also checked up on our dining experience. Great atmosphere, great staff, would definitely give it 5 stars! We will be back.
