I am truly shocked by the good reviews and the credit that this place has received. Last week I tried Juniper for the first time, especially after knowing that Atria's owners are also the owners of this establishment.
First we waited to be seated for about 10 minutes before someone acknowledged our presence. Then, we got seated at the bar area while there was seating available in the " dining area " as well. No problem so far and no reason to start complaining because the worst is yet to come.
After our humus appetizer, which was quite ok, we ordered the chicken sandwich and the fajita. The sandwich came out with overly blackened chicken that still had the taste of burned charcoal after flushing down an entire glass of water. The waitress acknowledged this and friendly suggested to order something new. My wife's order came to the table after about 5 minutes and to our surprise the cheese on top of the shell was cold, as well as the inside. I quickly turned to the waitress and canceled my order. I wanted to pay for the appetizer, but a very friendly manager would not let us, and offered us a 50 dollar gift card. I have to say that management handled the issue very professional, but the experience was still below expectation. Two stars for professionalism and that' s all they get! Stick with Atria's across the street!
