My birthday dinner choice this year and I’m relieved it lived up to my expectations! Sad or not, plenty of Austin restaurants hype you up and fail to deliver so this was nice:)

Ambiance is dark and modern. At 6pm on a Sunday, it wasn’t too busy which is nice. We’ve been before on a Thursday / Friday night and it was packed.

We went to Juniper for a friends birthday. It was a great experience. The server was very friendly and the espresso martinis were tasty! I had the puffy potatoes, little lettuce, cacio e Pepe and scallops. They were all tasty, however I was not given a “wow factor” by any of them for the price point. The puffy potatoes were missing something. The scallops were definitely different than the scallops I have tasted on the east coast, maybe more of a fishy taste? Although the food didn’t knock our socks off, the ambience and experience was overall a 10/10. They provided a gift box of pasta, spices and ingredients for a dish to my friend for her birthday. We did request they put “happy birthday ____” on the menu 2 days prior and they did not.

Went here for a birthday dinner. We made reservations in advance, sat at the bar and had the 6 pc prix fixe dinner. I would recommend sitting on the left side of the bar where you can watch them prepare and put the finishing garnishes on the food. They’re all beautifully presented. The ambiance is nice and the staff were all attentive. The food was overall good but one or two dishes were a miss. I would come back. Their dishes are seasonal.

My girlfriend and I treated ourselves to a five course prix fixe for to celebrate our anniversary. Came out to over $200 after tip, and we just shared one drink. Vibes, service and food presentative were all outstanding. All of the dishes were very good, but none of them stood out as something that I’d absolutely want to order again.

Tried this unique and upscale dining experience while in Austin. The interior of the restaurant is very classic, dark with a cozy yet upscale vibe, there’s also a chef’s counter to watch them prepare the food. We had the prix fixe menu option and it was great. For an appetizer we had the hamachi crudo which was delicious and had tons of fresh herbs on top. The second pasta course was also delicious. We had the beef and the scallops. The scallops were delicious but there was a very small portion, however with the amount of food in the other courses it was plenty. For dessert we had the Milk and Honey, which is a mousse and gelato dish. It was good but would have preferred more of a chocolate dessert. Overall a great and chic spot for night out with friends!

This was a great experience, I totally recommend to try it out! We had the stracciatella cheese, linguine, bucatini and tiramisu. All the food is house-made and they cure details a lot. The cheese was served with peaches and mint which gave it a really fresh taste. The pastas where wonderful. The bucatini had a lemon sauce that was super fresh and blended really great with the pasta. The linguini was more traditional choice with pomodoro that was delicious as well. The tiramisu was really good as well. Proportions were pretty good and we ended up full. They also have a fix price menu that would be cool to try. The ambiance is cute, romantic, and intimate and the kitchen is open so you can see how they cook. Great place to visit!

What a dinner it was! The ambience is extremely nice and the waiters are professional and kind, moreover, everything is home made. The focaccia was accompanied with a slightly spicy sauce, which blent with the ricotta had a very nice taste. The Stracciatella had the peaches and the mint which gave it a very fresh feeling, even though the flavour of the mint was covering a bit the one of the mozzarella. The linguine were delicious, the tomatoes are fresh and very tasty! The bucatini were amazing, especially if you like citric taste. We concluded with a nice tiramisu. Definitely suggested!
