    We went at 8:30pm on a Sunday night, closing was 10pm. It was basically us and a few regulars at the bar who were quite noisy. They had clearly been there for some time and were loud, using foul language and talking about things that mama shoulda taught them not to talk about in the presence of a lady. The food was good, albeit pricey. Had one specialty drink and it was good. I wouldn’t go back on account that we were out of town guests and this seems more of a spot for locals that want to hang out and be loud.

    Glad we had made a reservation as restaurant was packed n a Saturday night! Place was hopping! Our server was a young man who was running in all directions but still managed to get everything out to us on time! Delicious food. Ceviche was to die for as well as my Bullwhip cocktail! We were using a gift voucher we bought through The Wintergreen Nature Foundation’s Fundraising dinner last June....and it was worth every penny! Thank you for donating and thank you for a great night!

    The service was terrific. Brian was great. Based on other reviews, we were a bit disappointed in a couple of the dishes. We started with the Brussels, and we were pleasantly surprised by the healthy portion. I ordered the rabbit & sausage etouffee, my wife had the pork tenderloin. Mine was quite tasty and satisfying. The pork, on the other hand, was salty and a little tough. We had the apple pecan tamale for dessert. We each had a bite and sent it back. It was dense and lacking in flavor. We had high hopes. Maybe it was just an off night.

    I went with a group on a Sunday morning for brunch. Our food came relatively quickly but my French toast was pretty soggy, although the flavor was delicious. There was 1 waitress who was also hosting, and a bartender. The food was not bad, but the service was slower and inefficient. I would try it again though.

    Food and service excellent. The only negative is the restaurant was cold and I had to wear my jacket the entire time.

    Had a great evening with friends that hadn't been together for 10 years. The Staff was great and took good care of us and the food was great ( loved those corn cobs mexican style) The only annoying thing was a group of very loud young women who just having fun but not being considerate of us in the next booth. I've been to Junction often and have yet to be disappointed. I also live 4 blocks away which makes a fun walk.
