    Absolutely the worst service we have ever had in what is supposed to be a high-end restaurant. Our server was rude and scattered from the moment we sat down. She was clearly annoyed about any questions we asked about the menu. We did get served a cocktail, but had to ask for water on one of her many trips flying past us. When she finally did come to take our order she was distracted and kept telling us how busy she was. I ordered and salad ($18), hubby ordered soup ($12) and we both ordered the halibut ($52 @) Waited and waited and then later she appeared and asked us if we wanted to order app or soup/salad. Told her we already did but realized the wait was going to likely be long, so we ordered the "bread service" ($10). Several minutes later a small, luke warm baguette appeared with butter and O&V. We had no utensils or napkins so couldn't butter the bread. 20 minutes later she appeared and I mentioned the napkins and silverware. She flew off the handle...saying that she was "too busy" and had "other customers to take care of" and she took off again like a chicken with her head cut off. (Soup and salad had still not been served.) At this point, (1.5 hours in) the hubs said that he had had enough and got up to leave. I stood up, dumped the bread in my purse, picked up the plate with butter and O&V went to the host(ess) stand. I told the gentleman that we were not going to pay $200+ for that kind of service. She made several histrionic passes by us, blaming us for her bad service. The guy was nice and he apologized but it was too little to late. Can't say how the food was, because we never got any. Cocktails were good, bread service a joke. PS went downstairs to Paddy's (Irish pub) and had great service and food for likely what was 1/4 of the price.

    Mushroom Ragu

    Very intimate dining room off the beaten path. The food is very good, and we enjoyed the chicken wrapped in bacon, rack of lamb, and salmon dishes. The mushroom ragu was incredibly filling and bursting with umami flavor. I wish this dish had an acidic counterpoint to balance the rich umami. Overall the portions are generous. Service was also friendly. Don't miss the pistachio ice cream and the cheesecake for dessert. Cheesecake is topped with a tangy apple butter, which is a nice departure from the usual berry topping. This was a nice place to celebrate a special occasion.

    A lovely shareable appetizer  just a stunning and delicious charcuterie board

    I've wanted to visit juniper for a while now and was so glad we were able to stop in during this girls trip. Firstly, this venue is very cozy. Wood decor/detailing and strategically placed greenery give it a modern, homey, comfortable vibe. The menu (which is updated every few weeks or so) has something for everyone. Their diverse menu can accommodate any diet. We had the pleasure of being served by Carla who truly made us feel at home. What I loved about this dining experience was that there was a feeling of being rushed so the server could turn the table. We sat and enjoyed our meals and wine and talked for HOURS. It was fabulous and just what us gals needed. As for the food *chefs kiss* Everything was fantastic. Every cheese, every dip and spread, every bite of my main dish -- Devine. We overheard that people make a trip to Rapid City just to eat at Juniper and I do not blame them. If you have been meaning to visit and haven't yet, here's your sign to make a reservation and have one of the best dinners of your life.

    Juniper Salad

    The Petit Filet at Juniper is arguably more memorable than Mount Rushmore! :-) I decided to venture off solo on my last day of a business trip. After asking a few locals what the best restaurants in town are, I narrowed it down to Juniper and two others... I chose Juniper, and I could not have been more impressed! I didn't order anything crazy. A salad, a steak, and a glass (or 3) of wine. 1. Salad: The Juniper salad was perfect. See photo. Simple... with blue cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and a few croutons. Perfect! 2. Steak: The Petit Filet. Here's their secret (revealed after interrogation of my kind, sincere server Brooke)... coarse salt and pepper, a bit more coarse salt, cast iron skillet, oven to finish... and you're in heaven! It's one of two enters that they keep on the menu. Don't change a thing! :-) 3. Wine: Sauvignon Blanc... whatever it was, it was perfect. :-) I'll make another visit just to explore the menu further... A+

    AMAZING. Food was so good that it is hard to put to words. If your near this place GO, you won't regret it. It is a bit expensive but it's local cuisine.

    The food was so fresh and delicious we came back two nights in a row while in town for a meeting. Alexis, the owner, is very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine selection is also great and very reasonably priced. We had the Textbook Cabernet. For food we tried the cheeseboard, bread, beet salad, creamed mushroom and chicken Brie with homemade linguine, faroe salmon, diver scallops and ragu. Everything was fresh and tasty. The second time we came we opted to share family style, which I highly recommend so you can taste a little of everything since the menu changes.

    Wine Cellar Restaurant - Medjool dates filled with blue cheese $10, good but pricey

    Very polite staff, owners on site. Great wine selection, 4…read moreseat bar as well as tables inside and outside. Small, quaint, romantic restaurant with high(er) end food. They do need to update the online menu. Filet listed online for $40.75 was $55. Date listed $6.75 were $10. Filet Mignon w/veal Demi glaze was awesome, you could cut it with a butter knife. I didn't like the small potato bites. Should have mashed potatoes $55 Bison ravioli was good (not made in house) but the sauce was on the salty side. Medjool dates filled with blue cheese were great $10. $10 is too expensive for these though. Overall a great place for a relaxing dinner. Or just have wine and appetizers.

    The interior was nicely appointed and the staff was very friendly. The food was good - not…read moreexceptional. My husband ordered a wedge and what he got was a chopped salad. Apparently, they don't serve actual wedges because it causes too much waste. The owner agreed they need to change the name of the salad. My beet salad was tasty. Now after waiting 50 minutes with only one other couple in the restaurant, our entrees were served. They should have some games to play at the table for the long wait times. We were actually planning to order dessert but ran out of time. My salmon was cooked very well and tasted fresh. My husband's vegetable lasagna was saved by the mushroom gravy otherwise it lacked flavor.
