We just had a most decadent meal. Starters included tuna poke with shrimp and the lemon, heirloom tomatoes salad. Yum! Then we had the filet mignon with lobster and the halibut entree. Outrageous. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake and the toffee dessert. Omg! The drinks were quite good too. Definitely will return. read more

Juniper Restaurant - Lemon salad with heirloom tomatoes - New American Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

Great food, great staff, great service. Will be back if I'm ever back this way! Our concierge recommended this place and he was spot on.

For the most part very nice a little room for improvement overall. Let's start with what was great, our waitress was wonderful. We asked her for menu recommendations and her insight was spot on. I ordered the tuna, it was delicious, fresh, seasoned well and the presentation was good. I really liked the flavor of the mushrooms with the fish and the sauce added the correct balance of fat and acidity to really bring out the flavor of the fish. The texture of the shrimp was a nice contrast and complemented the rest of the dish. My wife had the filet and lobster duo, the filet was cooked correctly and was well seasoned. Let's talk about where there was some room for improvement. The hostess. She was pretentious, It was just unnecessary and not how I was looking to start my experience. I ordered a draft beer, it was not poured correctly and came to the table over carbonated, I didn't finish it. The lobster that came with my wife's dinner was over cooked. In fairness the food and experience were both good. None of these are deal breakers, at this price point it's fair to critique all aspects of service and experience. I would eat here again as the food was well prepared and tasty. I was hoping for a bit more out of this experience. As always I'm happy to address any of this with management and update my review if we are able to have good dialogue. Thank you for feeding me read more

Juniper Restaurant - Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail Duo with Potato Gratin and Grilled Corn/Heirloom Tomato/Mozzarella * - New American Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

The food is good. The service was good in the beginning but by the end all of us ran out of water by the end. The lobster was lack luster and tasted like frozen microwaved lobster but the filet mignon was very flavorful. We had our glasses filled once and the hostess spilled a glass of water on our table. The white table cloth had stains and holes not what I expected from a restaurant that charge $50 a plate. The tables are not spaced out enough I was literally in a corner and the table was so close to the wall my head kept touching the picture above the table. Our reservation was at 5:30 I would suggest going at this time or before as they got very busy and the service declined. read more

Dropped into Juniper our last night for their delicious dessert. I had the Key Lime pie and can tell you it is real, after having it in the keys before. Very light and refreshing after a long day on the mountains and eating. Must try! read more

When there's not much options in Edward's, you have no choice. The service and drinks was great. The food is mediocre.

We had a party of 8 including 2 children under the age of 10. We were seated at a table that was 12 inches away from the front door & reception for all incoming parties. We told the hostess when we arrived that we did not want to be so close to the entrance, & were informed that was the only option we had. Every time a new party arrived our conversations were interrupted & we were uncomfortably close to people coming into the restaurant. After we paid I told the manager that the food was good but that the table was in a terrible location. He was extraordinarily rude & nasty. We will not be back---their loss since we are locals. read more

Wow! Who knew Edwards had gems like Juniper?! It's a cool little spot on the main drag with a great cocktail menu and wonderful service. They fit us in on Saturday night, thankfully. We even hit their off-season 50% off entrees--woohoo! We ordered a vodka drink and some delicious IPAs. Someone in my party had the buffalo, which he said was incredible. I had the trout, which was a perfect meal top to bottom. Can't wait to come back in! read more

From one of the best in the Vail Valley to now one of the worst I've been going to Juniper for close to 15 years but recently had one of my worst experiences at any restaurant anywhere in the world. We made a reservation with friends for a fun evening out. Got to the restaurant on time and were seated promptly. Our waiter was great and very helpful We started with cocktails and some appetizers. We ordered a bottle of wine to go with dinner. Everything was taking a little long to come out but we didn't care we were having a nice evening Before our entrees came out one of the staff came by to tell us we were running out of time on our reservation. We were stunned and had no idea what he was talking about. He said that there was an hour and a half time limit on our table. We had never heard anything so ridiculous. We hadn't even gotten our entrees and they were rushing us out. We complained to the waiter (who was a bit embarrassed). We were never told we were on the clock. Would never have chosen to eat there. We ordered lots of food and drink. It wasn't as if we were loitering, taking up space. It was a big check The waiter said he could send over the "manager". The manager turned out to be the owner, and as others have pointed out in prior review the owner is a horrible person. We explained to him that we had ordered all this food and drink. He said he didn't care how much money we were spending. He was rude, argumentative and a complete fool. It's mind boggling that someone like that could be in business. We paid for what we were served and left. The restaurant wasn't even half full. Total disaster. The quality of food has gone down. The fish served to other tables smelled horrible. Will never go again. Unlike ten years ago, there are so many better choices in the Vail Valley If you're looking for something in Edwards and like a good cocktail bar, go to the Rose a few doors down. That's where we ended up. Great people that really appreciate their customers. read more

Really good food, and cozy ambiance. Service was very friendly. Loved to pork chops.

I'm writing this in response to a ridiculous review below. Jason D & Mike W (you were at the same table). I was in the restaurant and dining the night of your reviews and you ruined everyone's dinner around you. You also made a claim that I work there when in fact I was a patron. I overheard you say how delicious your appetizer was and better than a neighboring restaurant (I won't name because I support them as well). You didn't order fish or even pay for your meal. I'm pretty sure I overheard it was comp'd. Time limits on tables are the only reason small restaurants can stay in business and give us the opportunity to have a nice dining experience. People like you are what's wrong with society right now ruining it for everyone instead of being grateful to have a fine dining experience. I am thankful for how hard these people are working even at half capacity, just to make a living and keep their people employed. I've dined at Juniper 6 times over the past month and had an absolutely incredible experience with the staff and the meal. Your entitlement is appalling. Readers ignore his review as it is 99% lies to begin with. We should support our local businesses and be grateful for the opportunity to dine in a lovely restaurant like Juniper! read more

What a gem. Outstanding food, service and ambiance. A ton of competition from restaurants in Beaver Creek and Vail but just a ten min ride from Beaver Creek is a terrific restaurant. Our first time hear and totally impressed. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. read more

I would eat at Juniper again in a heartbeat! It is an upscale place without the feel that a tie and jacket is required. Juniper came highly recommended from some friends, and I have already told others about it since our Sunday visit. My wife had the Veal Scaloppini. It was a smallish portion, but the flavors were perfectly balanced. I had the bone-in ribeye! Good Lord... This may have been the BEST steak I've ever had. Rich flavor, tender, cooked just right. Came with a sweet potato au gratin. For dessert we had the toffee pudding cake. That was the awesome delicious conclusion. *** UNTIL Thursday JUNE 13th ALL ENTREES ARE 1/2 *** read more

My party indulged in a wide variety of drinks and entrees, all of which were exceptional. Our server Jamie was incredibly attentive, polite, and non-intrusive. Following our meal we ordered a dessert for the table which proved as superlative as our entrees. Ambiance, service, and dining proved to be an incredible experience for our party. read more

This is above a Five Star restaurant!! If I could give more stars, I'd definitely do it! Tonight we called another famous restaurant in Avon to inquire about reservations and we were scoffed at, saying there was no way on a Tuesday night our party of four could be accommodated. Too bad for this restaurant! Instead, we went to Juniper in Edwards and dropped close to $600+ From the moment we called them for a reservation, to being greeted, seated and served, it was fantastic! They didn't scoff, laugh or be presumptuous, instead they accommodated us. Not only is the staff phenomenal at Juniper, but the food is impeccable. Hats off to the management, our waiter, Jeff, and the ambiance, but most importantly, the Chef! The evening was the best, and all of our dishes, gourmet! Over all, this is a class act place. Thank you for an unforgettable evening! This is what every restaurant should aspire to be like. read more

Our server was awful. She was lackluster and when picking up a plate, splattered food on my friend's shirt and pants. However, The food was delicious. The tuna poke, and the octopus apps were so fresh and bright. 3 of us ordered scallops and they were perfect. The black risotto was decadent. The Brussels sprouts were the best I have ever had in my life - a must try!! We sat outside on the back patio and it was lovely. I want to give this place 5 stars for the food but with the service we received, I just can't do it. I still highly recommend you go there for the delicious food! read more

Terrible experience. I'm a cordillera resident and used to enjoy coming here often. Drinks were not balanced. I sent my drink back after 1 sip. Everyone at the table tasted my drink and agreed that it was undrinkable. Apple pie was terrible. Sour and inedible. When I told the waiter he was beyond rude and refused to take the items off the menu. He didn't even offer to bring something else. The waiter said the restaurant has a policy that when an item hits the table it will not be taken off the receipt? Ridiculous!! The owner didn't care when I told him. Everyone is short staffed with covid but this was just unacceptable. If you're short staffed and some things aren't made correctly then simply own up to it. Service has gone down the toilet! read more

Delightful, delicious, deserving. Worth trying and you'll get return time and time again.

Juniper was a great stop in Edwards! The tuna poke app and the chocolate cake dessert are musts!!!! This place deserves 5 stars. Our only complaint was a very rare steak when we ordered medium rare. Still wouldn't stop us from going to here again. read more

I have been coming to Juniper for years and saying this was not my usual experience is an understatement. The worst table at this restaurant is the two top dead center in the middle of a main walkway and we had it. Our waitress showed up 15min after we had been seated, never introduced herself or made us feel welcome. After ordering our first course we sat with empty plates for 20min, we even stacked them up at the edge of the table as our waitress walked by countless times without removing them. The food was pretty average and extremely overpriced. We didn't finish the veal scallopini so we ordered a side of angel pasta to go with the leftovers which was $15... all in all super lack luster experience that left very little to be desired. read more

Food is absolutely amazing. No bad dishes on their menu. Service is great. One of the bests in Edwards/Avon/Beaver Creek.

This place is one of our favorites the food and service is always awesome and the surroundings are quaint and charming.

Always amazing. I haven't been here in years and came up and still saw tons of faces that I knew. Wonderful dinner and desert that cannot be missed. The Toffee butter ice cream something something. Amazing. Can't wait to see everyone again soon. read more

Such an amazing restaurant! I love the yellowfin poké appetizer, the scaloppini or filet, and of course the sticky toffee pudding! And a little brut Rosé too! This place knows how to serve up great food in a great atmosphere!!! read more

Owner was an arrogant and rude.!!!! It was my 50th birthday and my 75 y/o Dad had raved about the special table he had reserved all day!!! We were excited about the evening as we had heard great things about the restaurant. Upon arrival, we see that people had just been seated in our promised table. The owner did not apologize for his uneducated staff who had promised us a specific table request with our reservation & was actually was so rude & arrogant in ibis explanation to my farther that they don't promise special table requests, that my wife had to step away. Obviously we will not be returning!!!! read more

We had a reservation and were actually 10 minutes early. Upon arrival, the manager at the desk, DC, informed us the table we requested (many, many times before) were taken by "walk-ins". His only offering were tables we didn't wish to sit at as the sun is bright in that area. Since we did show for our reservation and were unhappy with the seating options, we said we would just leave as DC said they were very busy. He told us he would charge us for a "no show", so we asked about a seat at the bar, which they had (with reserved seats at the corner?). We had a glass of wine, paid our check and left. DC said on OpenTable we "cancelled" our reservation (so we couldn't give a rating). There is a lot of hypocrisy going on about what a reservation and a walk in receives. We have been loyal customers over the years, always making a reservation. We will not be going back and his bully attitude should be fired. read more

the owner doug abel of this restaurant and hostess was so rude on so many levels!we have dined here many times over the years with a good experience ..this time i ordered what the waiter had recommended which was fresh red snapper from florida.when it was served i couldn't even get my fork in it.the waiter took it back,the chef agreed that it was like rubber!the owner came to the table ''heard you didnt like your fish'' i then described the situation and he then proceeded the say''i really dont care''i was so shocked to hear such a remark come from a owner that touts to be a fine dining restaurant.my only come back was ''how could you not care what comes out of your kitchen,..even your chef agreed!''reasonable reply on my part right. the waiter was very nice asked what else i would like,.the food that came out the second time was so overcooked with wilted garnish again just not acceptable in a fine dining establishment.if i could give a no star rating that would be worthy of my experience in this spiraling down hill restaurant . read more

Horrible costumer service. The manager was a condescending jerk and the food was mediocre at best. Save your money and go elsewhere

Worst dining experience ever. The halibut stunk up the entire restaurant - not fresh! Wait staff was excellent and tipped generously. Food and management was subpar. After purchasing appetizers, cocktails and wine we waited for our main entrees. While waiting for the main course to arrive we were told by staff that our reservation had only 30 minutes left. No one told us previously we had a time limit and we had never heard of such a crazy idea. The owner was very rude and unprofessional about our concerns regarding the reservation time limit and having only 30 minutes left on our reservation and still no entrée. We had already spent a lot of money on what we ordered. The owner should hire a manager to run the business because he could care less about taking care of customers. Poorly managed establishment and the owner is awful, as other reviews point out. Much better places to dine in the area. After posting my review, I received a nasty Facebook message which appears to be from a Juniper employee telling me I don't belong in Vail. Juniper appears to have a very strange company culture and taking care of customers is not their priority. Using social media to attack customers after they leave negative reviews probably isn't a good business strategy, especially during these challenging times. read more

We love this place. It has one of the best ribeyes around and I only get it half the time because the elk is so good.

Busy New Years week, restaurant was packed. Service was good for how busy they were, waitress was all business not a lot of personality but don't blame her because she had a lot of tables. Seasonal menu, had the butternut squash ravioli was good not great, Caesar was good, wife had the salmon she said it was excellent, chicken dish was fair more brown meat, lamb loin was good and presentation was nice, I had the elk it looked burnt but was medium in the middle and tastes great, Mac and cheese and brocollini was good, we would go back... read more

We initially called the Saddleridge restaurant in Beaver Creek because we were in search for the best steak in the Vail area. However, we called and were told they had just closed last Friday and will reopen next winter Ski season. I asked for a recommendation for the best steaks and were referred to Juniper in Edwards & 48 Vin in Avon. We ordered the Greek salad & Filet and chicken entrees. Every dish was excellent and the Filet was one of the best I have had. The meal was well worth the 20 minute drive from Vail. Oh yes, I should add that the entrees are at 50% off due to this being a slow time for skiers. read more

We tried eating there for my birthday dinner. I called in advance and let them know we had a dog. They said they would be holding a table for us. when we got there they had us in the parking lot and not in a nice outdoor table by the creek. We decided not to stay. So if you're intending to go there with a dog don't bother unless you want to sit in a parking lot and pay $200! read more

Wife and I went for dinner yesterday and sat in the back covered patio. A nice view to the walking trail and a pretty evening. Server was very helpful, efficient and friendly. Seems to be a popular local place, with good reason. Menu is not overlarge but a nice selection of surf and turf with a Western flair/tilt. Everything I saw others order looked great and everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered. Wine menu has good selections but heavy on higher priced selections. We would have preferred some "medium" priced selections, especially from Napa, which are our favorites. Markup seemed to be 2-2.25 times, which is really not bad, just too focused on $40 and up "retail" bottles. And not especially outstanding selections - but everyone's tastes are different! This a common issue we see in restaurants though, and I think most folks who have nice wine "collections" prefer to drink their own rather than pay the usual markup for wines no better (and usually not as good) than the ones they drink at home. So we had glasses of the Henriot Champagne with the appetizer - the server was nice enough to let us sample that vs the Taittinger Brut and the Henriot was the CLEAR winner! And glasses of the Paraduxx Cab with the meal. A good choice for "by the glass" wine choices! We shared all the food. Appetizer - Pan Seared Porcino Crusted Sea Scallops. Whoa, this was really a great start! Prepared just right and presented excellently. Entree - shared the Filet Mignon and Short Rib Duo. Server suggested that for $8 we have them split it for larger portions of the mashed potatoes and Heirloom Tomato-corn salad, which we did and it was a good idea. We added the Brown Butter Brussels sprouts, which were excellent! Cooked just right - just a slight crunch but not hard - with a nice pop of flavor! The short rib had a nice spice and was very savory, no bone but really tender. The filet was perfect in every way. Supposedly 5 oz filet and 3 oz short rib, but the portion was fine for us with the sides and the appetizer. Finished with the flourless chocolate cake, ice cream and and crunchy Carmel popcorn. A unique presentation and very good. A flawless meal and experience. Juniper would easily compete in our hometown, as many great places as there are in Houston! read more

Sitting by the river this past week eating the veal was a heavenly expereince for my wife and I. This is one of our favorite places to eat in Vail valley. The food is awesome and not as pricey as up in the mountain. The staff is great too. Everything we have eaten there is always been above average. They were out of their homemade peach crepes............. but canning season is just around the corner!!!!!!!!! :) read more

We come to Beaver Creek every year, dining at a mix of old favorites and not-yet-tried potential future favorites. Unfortunately, Juniper did not make the cut. Having read the reviews and scoped out the menu, we were looking forward to dinner, but our experience fell short. Neither the food nor the service lived up to the hype, and we found it overpriced even by Vail/Beaver Creek standards. Our group of four sampled four different appetizers and four different entrees. All were fine, but none were special or memorable, and none of them would be ordered again. Each dish seemed to be created with an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to cooking--full of superfluous ingredients that failed to enhance and sometimes detracted from the star of the show. Yellowfin Tuna Poke was overwhelmed by its battered and fried Nori raft floating on a sea of microgreens. Neither the dollops of guacamole nor the flavorless Mango-Sriracha Aioli could save it, and as for the macadamia nuts, all I can say is "Why?" A perfectly good pork chop, when glazed in Espresso, just tastes burnt. Ultimately, there were lots of things to taste, but no flavors to remember. If graded on food alone, this review might have been three stars, but the service and price knocked it lower. Although it was not a busy night, the wait for appetizers was long, and the empty-table wait for entrees was even longer. We grew restless as our waiter chewed the fat with another table off and on for the entire night. When the bill finally came, it was $100 per person, including tip, for a meal that will be remembered as a very long affair at which we received basic sustenance. At that price point, there are better choices in the area. read more

I'll be quick, food is amazing. I have basically eaten in all the restaurants in the valley but after coming here, this restaurant makes it in my top 3 in Vail Valley. I had the halibut and octopus and both exquisite. Come here if u like good food not tourist trap rest in vail village. read more

I know this is a popular restaurant, and the food is high quality. But the service and willingness to accommodate cancellations is disgusting. If someone in your party happens to get hurt the night of your reservation and ends up in the hospital, prepare to be charged $50/person for the cancelled reservation. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone who asks for recommendations. Do better. read more
