   Juniper & Ivy is, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences in San Diego. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale sophistication and laid-back West Coast charm. The service is impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Now, let’s talk about the food—because this is where Juniper & Ivy truly shines. The ever-evolving, seasonally driven menu is a work of art, showcasing bold flavors, expert techniques, and unexpected yet harmonious ingredient pairings. The signature dishes, like their famous “In-N-Haute” Burger, redefine comfort food with gourmet execution, while the house-made pastas are nothing short of perfection. And don’t even get me started on the small plates—each bite bursts with creativity and balance. Whether it’s the delicate crudo, the smoky roasted carrots, or the indulgent pork belly, every dish is an experience in itself. Pair it all with their expertly curated wine list or innovative craft cocktails, and you have a meal to remember. Juniper & Ivy isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, a celebration of flavor, and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier dining. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a meal worth savoring. Five stars, no hesitation!

   A truly sensational restaurant. Every dish was perfect. We sat at the Chefs Counter. It was fun to watch how they prepared so many delicious and complex dishes. My new favorite restaurant in San Diego.

   We had a great meal for my husband’s birthday. Melissa took great care of us. The food presentation was great and the flavors even better.

   We had a great time! We sat at the counter in front of the pastry chef and watched her work. Definitely recommend for a date night!

   I was very disappointed in the service here. I realize it was raining and that some tables needed to be moved or were taking longer than usual. We arrived around 7:22pm for a 7:30pm reservation and weren’t seated until 8pm. We had to follow up with the host who was relatively helpful but didn’t provide immediate solutions.m until pushed for an answer. My friend even spoke to the manager who brushed us off quickly to the other host. When we sat down, we had to chase our server to order at 8:30pm. So all in all it took an hour to get a table and order. Which was only possible because we asked directly for our server to place our order. The food was slow to come out which left us leaving the restaurant at 1030. We should not have had a 3 hour dining experience - no wonder our table wasn’t ready. The food was decent but nothing to come back for such abysmal service. At the end, we were comped not even one drink for us waiting 30+ minutes for a table. Very disappointing
