Juniper & Ivy

“I attended Juniper & Ivy for a small post-wedding reception. The space was nice and sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant, although it was loud at times because it’s separated by a curtain. It did still feel private, which was great. Although I was the photographer at this wedding, the staff was still super nice and was able to get me a vegetarian meal. They also let the couple bring in their own cakes, which was great! I’d recommend this spot for a smaller reception for sure.”

“The best Miso Black Cod I've eaten. Perfect balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. The broth was perfect. The House Sourdough was also top-notch (flaky outside, soft interior, butter was delicious). Also tried the three cheese tortellini which was delicious. We were impressed with the Chef's inquiry on how he can improve the dishes. We didnt like one and they immediately replaced it. Lovely staff with a nice ambiance. Must try!”

“The staff are really exceptional here. The restaurant has its own Sommelier, Dan. If you visit this place, make sure to ask for his recommendations. Ambience wise, this place has a fantastic decorative design. The food was very straightforward to order with everyone enjoying their dishes. Even seemingly ordinary dishes like the chicken were spot on and very tender. For parking, I recommend you use the valet here. It made getting in and out of the restaurant very easy.”

“Jupiter and Ivy was such a beautiful spot in Little Italy — modern design paired with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu had so many great options, perfect for sharing and tasting a little bit of everything. From small bites to the fish, duck, and steak, everything we tried was absolutely delicious and very well done. I also loved the cocktails — beautifully presented with exotic flavors that made the whole experience even better. We celebrated three birthdays during our Taurus month, which made the evening feel even more special. Definitely a place worth experiencing. #littleitaly #sandiego #jupiterandivy #birthdaycelebration #taurusseason #foodie #cocktails #finedining #sandiegofoodie #celebration #modernrestaurant #goodvibes #delicious #friendsandfamily”

“Food was ok. Restaurant had good bright lighting. Recommend: Miso cod and sourdough were the best out of all the dishes we ordered. Cake was pretty unique. Ok dishes: The duck was decent, but the sauce is a bit generic and fried rice was too salty. Pork belly skewer was good. Summer melon had a lot of alcohol flavor to it, so it’s better to eat it in small bites with the dried tuna. Don’t recommend: Shrimp Thai salad too salty. Sauce tastes like something I would expect from Panda Express. Conclusion: Nothing really jumped me…”
