Juniper Restaurant

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Worst restaurant ever.

Juniper is one of the worst restaurants ever. This place makes Denny’s seem like a 5 star establishment.

This place reminds me of the soup nazi on Seinfeld show. First of all, the people are very pushy and will make you feel awkward by saying that the chef highly recommends he severs food raw.

If you politely ask that you prefer your food cooked, they will get into an argument demanding that it be prepared the way they like it. I may be different on this but I actually enjoy cooked food vs raw food.

They will reject your credit card on a whim without even trying to scan the credit card in.

I have a specialty American express card which I have used at every restaurant without ever having a problem. When I tried to use it at Juniper they said the manager said they will absolutely not accept it. I asked if they accept American express and they replied, Yes we do accept American express but not your American express. WTF .

I asked if they received an error message and they told me that they never even attempted swiped the card.

I called American express to ask them what the deal was with the restaurant and they told me that their merchant policy requires that if the Merchant takes American express then they must accept all American express however when they called the manager at Juniper, they said he just hung up on them. Sounds like a real jerk.

The food at Juniper taste like someone a dog was licking your meal before serving it to you. I actually walked by this place in the afternoon while going to a different restaurant across from here. The entire restaurant was filled with clothing hangers on ever square inch. It looks like this place doubles at a laundry storage area in the day time when they are not open.

I have heard from many locals that the original chefs have left Juniper because of how poorly they treat people. If you are by the area of Juniper, you can go to the main street grill and get some good food as well with a much less snooty and hostile atmosphere.

Save your money and run as far away from Juniper as you possible can.
If you are looking for a really good restaurant, I would recommend Spago at the Ritz Carrolton. The meal was the best I ever had and they treat you like royalty.
Avoid Juniper at all cost!

Imaginative Cuisine: Wonderful, imaginative cuisine....small restaurant with great atmosphere and small outside dining area overlooking Eagle River. Try the salmon and the lamb ! A great dining experience....reservations essential.
