Straight forward and excellent preparation.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent quiet conversation placeThis is one of the quietest places to have dinner in the area. The service was good, not great. The bread and salad we had was outstanding, but the salmon was only good.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a gathering of 4 friendsWe had a gathering of 4 friends who do not see each other often. We wanted delicious food and an opportunity to linger over our meal to talk. Juniper was perfect!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFANTASTIC!FANTASTIC! All around a great experience! From the 1,000 point Open Table points option, to the greeting at the host stand...not to mention the server was a gem and the food perfect!!!! the 'dietary' restriction options on the menu made it easy to be a vegetarian! We WILL go back!4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice food and the noiseVery nice food and the noise level is low enough to actually allow for a pleasant conversation. The wine list is strangely limited, though (only rather overpriced American wines). They do not offer regular bread with the food. One can order some kind of sweet honey bread.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem in the West End!Sat in the courtyard on a beautiful evening surrounded by cherry trees in bloom. The food was excellent as well as the service. The prices were actually lower than I would expect from a hotel restaurant like this.

Very attentive wait staff in a beautiful room.
The food was pretty good. It was too lightly seasoned for my taste and the vegetable selection for the shrimp and grits dish seemed odd.
All in all, however, a very enjoyable experience.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service!We had lunch here and had a very enjoyable experience. The food is consistently good, but what makes the restaurant is the outstanding service A waiter we had last year stopped by our table to welcome us back! We just had a couple of sandwiches, but the entire menu is worth checking out. Our waiter informed us that dinner is generally a more formal occasion.3/2/2013 12:00:00 AMexpensive peace and quietThis place is in the Fairmont Hotel which is not known to us just looking at the site on line, a tad disingenuous . So it’s very pricy but decent food and great service. But not a fun or happening place we were one of two tables all evening. We had a business dinner so the quiet was fine for us.2/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThis wonderful restaurantThis wonderful restaurant is Washington's best kept secret.
It has a delightful, quiet ambiance with soft jazz playing in the background.
We each had a side salad to begin and the wonderful walnut bread with honey butter which definitely should be ordered. I followed that with the shrimp and grits- terrific- and my husband had the rockfish from the DASH menu. We split a side order of the butternut squash risotto- also delicious. We were too full to order dessert but the meal ended with a complimentary chocolate truffle for each or us. Perfect!1/21/2013 12:00:00 AM
