Juniper, inside and out, is a lovely, friendly, and delicious restaurant. The Servers were attentive but not overbearing; the food was delicious and coffee and tea were generously replenished, when asked. After a lovely lunch, we moved to sit in the common area where shade gave us another hour to enjoy conversation. I could not have chosen a better place for a special time.

The restaurant itself was really beautiful but the food was really average at best. The avocado toast was really disappointing so I wouldn’t recommend that. As for the ambience, no complaints there!

Went for breakfast- menu was bit expansive. Really not much variety. Buffet had 3 pork dishes with no other meat options. Service was so bad for the type of hotel it’s in. We ordered food as well and it was a solid 3/10. Not up to par and I would skip.

Went to brunch. Food was adequate, but the service was atrocious. We had to ask twice to order drinks before our meal. When we placed our food order, I asked the waiter to hold the food order until we had finished our drinks. He did not so we drank our drinks while we ate our meals so the food would not get cold. Also, too expensive considering the so-so food and poor service. There are much better restaurants in this neighborhood for the same prices.

Brought out of town guests over for a brunch and it was a disappointment. Online menu lists a buffet which they don’t have but that was the first of many disappointments. They didn’t seem busy but we waited for 20 minutes for drinks then two in our party of six didn’t get their drinks until we pursued the waitress. The meals were Oh hum and not inspired at all in their presentation. Crab cake eggs Benedict came with completely overcooked and tasteless potatoes. The plate was not attractive, muffins and potatoes thrown on the plate with no appeal. 2 poached eggs, one wonderfully cooked the other with a hard cooked yolk. An unappetizing crab cake and a stingy amount of hollandaise sauce. My meal was a disappointment and mirrored the other breakfast meals my friends received. Food was just OK but I went out to have a treat and didn’t get it

We got married at this hotel 25 years ago (when it was called ANA Hotel) and we went back for brunch to celebrate. The hotel has changed a lot since our wedding but is still beautiful, the food was delicious and our waiter, Oscar, was phenomenal. He went out of his way to acknowledge our anniversary and treat us with special attention. The crab eggs Benedict was great.

I asked for butter and it arrived with a dead and squished fly on it. Too bad I already had one of the three butter balls. Guess this is the Fairmont 5 Star Hotel standard. Didn’t touch it any longer and didn’t even bother raising a concern. Just left as soon as I finished my meal. Good thing the person I was meeting for a lunch didn’t make it. It would have been embarrassing to take clients out to a place that doesn’t take food sanitation seriously. Just disgusting.

The burrata was lovely but the mains were just OK. The steak wasn't juicy, the club sandwich was alright. Where this place "won" was with the beautiful patio and excellent service. But the kitchen let them down.

The outdoor patio is wonderful. I ordered steak and eggs and my mom ordered eggs Benedict. The potatoes served tasted old, my steak was not the greatest cut and was cold. Pastries were very good. The value not so great: 2 pastries for 9 dollars. Coffee was good and hot. Server was excellent. Food needs a lot of improvement. Plating as well. My steak and eggs looked really sad: some random piece of meat, eggs slightly over cooked for “over easy” and old tasting potatoes. I would still recommend it as the ambiance and outdoor patio is beautiful.

Never I had breakfast in luxury hotel, when they didn’t serve coffee, because “machine was broken” Hot water for tea was not available , where when asked another server water magically appeared. Wrong menu item was brought. At the end of the meal server asked: “ How was your drink?” Sorry can’t tell because they forgot to bring.
