About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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. Founded by Owner Michael Rosen, Juniper's kitchen is backed by a supergroup of culinary minds that produce one of the most refined yet imaginative menus in town, paired with an award-winning wine list from the city's top sommeliers.

Why they're an Icon

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred. The kitchen takes local fish and ingredients from area farms, then turns them into stunning plates with international flavors like pappardelle with sunchoke stroganoff or albacore tuna crudo with citrus vinaigrette.

    The service, food and ambience was really really great. The only possible question mark was the minimum price of 20$ for a glass of wine. But otherwise it was a very great experience!

    Get the duck! It was amazing! The vegetables was a little too spicy for us but the sauces were perfect. The kids burger and pasta were perfect for our kids too. Desserts were delicious and the hospitality was spot on.

    Absolutely stellar service from start to finish. Everyone knew it was our anniversary—even had it printed on our menus! We were treated to complimentary champagne, a delicious dessert, and a warm visit from the manager. The food and cocktails were excellent as always. They went above and beyond to make a special night feel even more memorable. Highly recommend for any celebration.
