Nationally-acclaimed Juniper and Ivy-consistently ranked "Best of the Best" by San Diego Magazine, and recognized as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand establishment-is a foodie paradise on the edge of San Diego's Little Italy. The kitchen delivers a constantly rotating, chef-driven menu that uses hand-selected, seasonal ingredients crafted with precision, passion, and creativity.

    MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred.

    My wife and I had an wonderful meal. From the prompt valet to the hostess and the waiter, the service was excellent. The food was high-quality with great flavor. I had a burrata salad and jadori chicken and my wife had the bluefin crudo and Alaskan halibut. All excellent with medium-sized portion size. The only downside was the outdoor noise level from the planes flying over us. Nothing the restaurant can do about air traffic, but if you want low noise level you might be better off inside.

    First time having duck, it was amazing! The drinks were delicious, sourdough was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed our seats but sitting outside is very loud due to planes coming in.

    Sara - So happy you enjoyed the duck...1st time of many. We hope to host you again soon.

    Love the people and staff attending to us. Absolutely love the whole experience of the evening and the way your staff took care of our party. On food, its been a while since we dined here but from past recollection we were a big fan of the yoodle amongst other things. That desert was at its best how it was made and served in the past -- not a big fan of it now. P.S. Wouldn't hurt to throw in a few more well curated vegetarian options in all menu categories.
