- RRolandCharlotte •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoPromptly greeted and escorted to a table for a reservation. Server greeted table within minutes after sitting down and placed drink orders. Started with 2 appetizers: Ahi tuna wonton and spicy shrimp wonton. Both came to table within 15 minutes of order and was fresh and hot. Two center of plate meals ordered: All-Natural Rotisserie Chicken and Chipotle Skirt Steak. Meals delivered within 25 minutes. A side order of chef-inspired vegetables was ordered which was roasted string beans with a sweet tangy sauce. After sharing part of the ordered entrees and sides, the common opinion was that they were both very good. The server was friendly and prompt. We will be back.More infoJuniper Grill - BallantynePrice: Moderate• American• Ballantyne•4.7
