About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Romantic

Beneath the feint glow of red neon, unparalleled experiences await as two Black Hills powerhouses come together to introduce a new generation of fine dining in Downtown Rapid City: introducing Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar.

Experience local cuisine from Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar during dinner service, Tuesday-Saturday: 5PM-10PM, with a Monthly Rotating Dinner Menu available on our website.

The art deco style of the Hotel Alex Johnson is carried through in the custom-designed bar and wine cabinet that house a premium selection of whiskeys, beers, and wines at the perfect temperature. Our bartenders are schooled on all the classics, but if you want something with a bold twist, shake it up with one of our custom cocktails. We are a private bar open to Hotel guests and Juniper at Vertex Members. If you are neither a Hotel guest or Member, you may make dinner reservations and pay a $25 cover charge. Outside seating is first come first serve. We look forward to seeing you!

Cynthia at the front desk was unfriendly and unhelpful. We had to ask several questions about why the large day charge just to eat there when we were dining with a reservation. Also he/she didn’t tell us when he/she gave the elevator key that it wouldn’t work till exactly 4 PM. So needless trips on the elevator. Frustrating. Our seat was perfect and the food was fabulous! What’s not to like about the rooftop where we ate our appetizer! Servers worked hard and in the beginning very attentive but as they got busy they became more scarce. Shorthanded I guess like everyone else. They were very pleasant and worked together as a good team!! The inside dining/ bar was VERY loud! We think it is a mistake to stop taking reservations. We may likely not come back as a result.

Great service! Priced too high for the taste of the meal. Waitress was a complete zombie walking around, could only imagine what drugs she was on. Our waiter although busy, was great! We’ll go back for drinks and skip the food!

We had a very enjoyable meal at Vertex. The outdoor options and views of the city would have been great except it was beginning to rain, so we stayed inside. The food was delicious, and we had great service from Jackson. Recommend!

Disappointed that this is a Curio Hilton Restaurant. Menus were filthy, table wasn’t the cleanest either. Food was served warm at best. Appetizer, Walleye fingers were the best part of the meal. Save your money.

The food was delicious! My only concern was the length of time it took for drinks and food to be served after ordering.

You have to pay $25 (not an exaggeration) to ride up the elevator to the restaurant, unless you are a registered guest at the hotel! Server didn’t know anything about gluten, so several times assured members of our party that any dish could be prepared gluten-free, even though that proved not to be true. My husband elk ravioli was delivered 45 minutes after everyone else’s food was, and we had to leave the table, find a server and the. A second server to get it. Dessert also too more than 30 minutes to be delivered, but everyone has finished their coffee. We could not leave fast enough at that point. Don’t bother! Service was terrible, prices too high, and food was nothing special.

our server was the best. Funny, engaged, attentive but not intrusive. I know that you have lots of customers but the tables are so close together it's hard to have a conversation.

Ravioli was good, steak was uninspired and lacked seasoning/flavor. Standard hotel restaurant.
