So a bunch of food trucks have been parking in front of the Fairmont Hotel undoubtably causing them to lose food sales from guests. So as the old saying goes, "if you can't beat'em, join'em." And that's what they did. They set up a little stand that sells mini food for the taking. They are adorably packaged from macarons to mini lobster rolls, to mini salads. I guess I should clarify, they are not that small, definitely not hor'deurves size, but cute. Everything is between $3-$7 and you can really customize your meal. You'd be surprised at the decent amount of salad that fluffs out of that little box which comes with a balsamic vinaigrette. I enjoyed the strawberry tomato gazpacho (got two), and found the cookies to be ok. Really allows you to customize your own portions, and splurge on what you really want to eat. I think it's a great idea, though I would like to see a vegetarian sandwich offered. read more

Recently my wife and I decided to do what we don't do often enough, and not many places in the area offer - Tea Time. Yes the Tea and Crumpets scene. We've enjoyed fine tea times from the Ritz to Mayflower, but found the Juniper's restaurant offering at the Fairmont Hotel now a favorite. Their varied offerings of mini sandwiches, teas, attention to detail and elegance enthralling. Their use of fruits and other ingredients are fresh and unique, including their very own fresh honey from a roof top beehive! The environs of their outdoor English-style patio courtyard lends a relaxing mood to the spacious yet comforting seating area inside - we're going back in the spring to enjoy the outside seating. A formal/informal style, just like sitting in a British estate's sitting room. Oh, did I mention and incredible, well-versed, knowledgeable and charismatic tea sommelier to boot! Edwin Vargas a sommelier-extraodinaire's attention alone is worth the visit. A must try whether a seasoned tea timer or a newbie. read more

3.5 stars---- Tighten YELP!! The ambiance at The Juniper is spectacular!!! The outdoor seating is very romantic and an oasis in this busy city. I found some dishes to be spectacular, the pork chop and the pasta appetizer. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and excellently paired with a grilled peach. Note to self, learn how to grill a peach!!! Yummy!! The pasta dish was so delicious I came close to licking my plate! The pasta was prepared with truffle butter and fresh veggies, don't miss this one! Other dishes missed the mark. The crab soup was too watery and the rockfish nicoise was greasy which felt heavy. I'd be willing to try this place again based on the few successful dishes, the ambiance, and the service. Everyone deserves a second chance! read more

This place is so pretty! Located inside the Fairmont Hotel, the dining room is elegant and airy, with high ceilings, creamy white columns, lots of light, and very comfortable seats. I came for lunch during Restaurant Week, and the meal was delicious and unrushed. The restaurant was mostly empty and we had great service. I think I might have weirded out our server because I asked if he was the Oscar that'd gotten great reviews on Yelp..and he was. I'm not stalking you, Oscar, I swear. I had the quail starter and it was so good that I was tempted to abandon paring it from its tiny bones with my fork and knife and just use my hands. The crab cakes were nice, but unremarkable. My friend had the steak entree, which was huge and came with some excellent steak fries. Dessert was the most impressive part. There were three things--a crumble, a creme brulee, and a chocolate lollipop. The crumble was good, but I really enjoy fruit in my pastries. The creme brulee had some flecks of vanilla bean but the caramelized sugar crust was lacking in substance. The chocolate lollipop was a revelation. I'd never seen anything quite like it--it was kind of a truffle wrapped in ganache and just dreamy soft, creamy chocolate goodness. Sadly, while I have a great appreciation for dessert I can't handle a lot of sweet in one sitting. I could only manage to eat half of the lollipop and just walked out with the other half on its stick for later. read more

The brunch! The brunch!! I have no idea what the rest of their food is like, but the brunch is enough for me. They do a Chocolate Lover's brunch once a month complete with a chocolate fountain and 17 (yes, I stood there counting) different types of desserts. The brunch is all you can eat..and prepare for the list, because I was trying to memorize everything with my eyes oysters, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, lamb, steak (more than one type), pasta, omelette station, potatoes, scrambled eggs, asian section (peking duck, dumplings, egg rolls), sausages, pancakes, waffles, giant giant salad section and fruits and veggies (which I ignored) and more! Oh, and all you can drink champagne, juice, Evian, coffee, and tea of course. There was more food, but once I saw "all you can eat oysters" I was unfortunately completely derailed from most of the other food. As you probably suspected, this was not a cheap outing. The buffet was $65 a person...but let's do some math. If oysters are $2 each at some places, that means I'd only have to eat 32.5 oysters to get my money worth. I definitely ate at least 20 oysters, not counting all the other food...so I'm thinking I got my money's worth. If nothing else, go at least once. And sneak in some tupperware. You'll be dreaming of the food the Sunday after. read more

**This review is for January 2010 restaurant week** I was surprised to find the restaurant week portions at Juniper were more like regular portions; a lot of restauants seem to give you small portions from the special menu. So that was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere at Juniper is calm and inviting. Their seats are these nice comfy upholster chairs that I could sit in for hours on end. To start, I had a corn soup which was very creamy and enjoyable. I had their crab cake for dinner which was pretty delightful. My fiance and I shared a cranberry apple crumble a la mode which we both really enjoyed. It even came with a cute apple shaped cookie on top! read more

This is a review for Juniper's outside patio area and their happy hour. After 8 years of living next door I'm happy to report it's a new favorite of mine for Happy Hour in our neighborhood. Went for happy hour last night with a group of friends from the dog park, and our doggies. The courtyard is absolutely beautiful, a hidden gem, and the best part is being able to bring the dogs along! The staff brought out water bowls, and were were not bothered in the slightest by the pack of about 15-20 huge dogs we had in our area. Food/Drinks: Happy Hour specials were pretty good. $7 glasses of delicious sangria and $5 mini cheeseburgers. I'm a huge fan of mini cheeseburgers, and have to say these are the best I've EVER had. Quite a big statement but I am standing by it. The caesar salad was not good, I'll leave it at that. Sweet potato fries were yummy. While I have yet to go inside to the main restaurant, I will say the courtyard is fabulous and it's a great place to go if the weather is nice (or if you have a doggie). read more

Juniper has a great menu offers an amazing three course fixed menu every night. I selected the prix fixe and everything was cooked to perfection and platted beautifully. My date selected off of the regular menu and everything he had was delicious as well. The service is attentive but not invasive - our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. After dinner we walked through the garden and drank in the lounge where we listened to a live pianist. What a great escape from the city! read more

This review is just for the food since we ate it in our hotel room and at the bar in the Fairmont Hotel. My boyfriend had the club sandwich and fries twice. He liked it but felt like $23 was steep for a sandwich. I had a salad with pears, cranberries and ginger dressing. It was good. I also had french fries. They were a bit too salty, but I made do. Here's my issue with this restaurant. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant. As a vegan, these were the only two items I could eat off the bar or restaurant menu. It's ridiculous. Even former President Bill Clinton is eating a vegan diet. Restaurants need to get with the times and offer at least one vegan entree especially ones that are attempting to be upscale to some degree. There were endless options for lamb chops and steak. I'm shocked at how hard it's been to eat a few vegetables and God forbid a soy protein in D.C. This is a city that receives foreign diplomats from all over the world where many are from vegetarian or vegan cultures and yet this city is so meat-centric. I've been hungry pretty much the entire time I've been here. FYI, the kitchen closes at 10:30 pm. Being from L.A. it's been tough for us to get use to how early restaurants stop serving food in D.C. Update: We got our bills. The second for $52 was not even itemized. I find that really annoying. read more

My fiancée and I had an appointment at noon in Georgetown and thought it'd be fun to grab brunch beforehand. She made a reservation and texted me the menu the day before. "Pricey--but whatevs, DC people are brunch snobs" was the only thought I gave it. When we got there we each giggled to ourselves because we hadn't realized it was part of a hotel. "That explains the $16 sandwiche costs" I said. But whatever, we rolled with it and made our orders. Food arrived 30 mins later after hungrily watching happy people come away from the $18 buffet. My $12 "Honey Ham and Egg" sandwhich was a 4" English muffin, a slice of rubbery Canadian bacon, and a poached egg. I bit into it and egg yolk gets everywhere--which is cool, because they pouched the egg but I didn't have a napkin. My fiancée didn't have a napkin. Good god, none of the empty tables around us have napkins on them. So, I walk about 5 tables away with my hand up in the air and yolk dripping down it like a doctor prepping for surgery to a two top that oddly had only one napkin on it. Was it clean? Doesn't matter. I snatched it and cleaned up. I'm writing this from around the corner at District Taco where for $6 I got 2 giant breakfast tacos and am now, finally, not hungry. read more

When asked, they were all out of crab for a crabcake but had enough crab for a crab soup...go figure. It was about 86 degrees. Thank god we were sitting under a sun umbrella. Heck, even the birds were wetting themselves in the exquisite stone water fountain. Sat outside the courtyard area and ordered the following: - Sliced Chicken salad (~$18) - Lots of frisee and baby tomatoes, mixed greens. A very busy salad but tasted OK. Bit of bacon was its saving grace. - Steak Frites ($23) - When asked to replace fries with a healthier alternative, they offered asparagus - it tasted great, as it was grilled with sea salt..yummy! The ribeye steak was super thin overdone though. I had ordered medium but was wary of sending it back so I didn't - Crab Soup ($9) - well done - creamy - tasted kinda like a chowder, with bits of corn in it. Very crabby tasting and there were big chunks of crab as well. read more

I bought a LivingSocial deal for Juniper and redeemed it for dinner with my husband. Our meal was delicious - I got the lamb chops, which were seasoned and cooked to perfection, and my husband got the bison burger, which was better than any burger I've tasted in recent memory. We also got the pumpkin spice creme brulee for dessert, which was amazing on its own, but also topped with little shortbread bits. In between each course we were also brought amuse bouche from the chef, all of which were delicious. The service was outstanding too - our waiter was both attentive and personable. The only real drawback was the cheesy Christmas music playing throughout dinner, but I will definitely be back - after Christmas. read more

My experience was incredible! The hostess (she was so incredible and warm). It felt she loved being there and was happy to see me. Sherman and Alex blew me away. I am an extreme foodie and I can truly say I have not had Service on the level before! I am so happy and I'll be back! read more

This is the Fairmont restaurant... we went for lunch during RW. Man, I don't know if it was cause it was restaurant week, but our service was terrible. We were there for the 3 course meal, and it took us almost 2 hours for 4 people. And about 45 minutes was waiting for the bill, no lie. The only consolation is the manager felt bad, so she took our numbers and told us to come back and we'd get free appetizers or something. I don't know if I'll go back. The food though, was good. Very small portions, but I guess it's lunch. I got the soup (forgot what kind :/), and the honey mustard (dijon?) chicken, with some good dessert. Ok, this was only a week ago, and my lack of memory is starting to scare me. Either way, the food is good, but it better be, since this is a fairly expensive restaurant. The cheapest item is a burger, and it's like $15. read more

Planned to go do Georgetown for some dress trying in the afternoon and made appointment with friends to have brunch in this restaurant RANDOMLY, but always, the random things bring you surprise. We were about ten minutes earlier, the waiter directly called me with Ms.(my last name), I am pretty surprised they remember guest name by heart and know who to expect, just the perfect timing. The restaurant is located on the first floor of Fairmont hotel and you will felt a little bit like in Bellagio in Las Vegas, as they both have a very beautiful garden near the restaurants. It was quiet surprising to find a place like this in tiny DC. So you the brunch is prix fixe menu (around $50 without tax and tips), you can have unlimited mimosas and cranberry with sparkling wine. I tried orange juice and I can tell it's freshly squeezed, so I had so much more. Cranberry sparkling wine is very good, like that blend as well. You have the choices of unlimited fresh crab craw and oyster, bacon, bread, cheese, fruits, yogurts and dedicated desserts. Crabs and oysters are very fresh and we took a lot. Besides those, you can choose one entree which needed to be ordered with the waiter. My friend has crab cakes and she liked it, I had corn beef with eggs benedict. I felt their pepper is different and special, which makes the who entree more tasty. It seems like tons of food and drinks and yes, it is. But a good thing is you could take the entree home if you couldn't finish there, which I believe is pretty rare in other restaurants like this. We saw lots of tourists from all over the world came here to dine and it made you had the illusion that you were on holidays too. Great place to chat with friends and great for brunch. read more

I'm only giving Juniper four stars because it is pretty good at what it intends to be, which is, a fancy restaurant in a fancy hotel (my favorite in town, the Fairmont). But I'm not really looking for that. And since the selections in immediate walking distance of the Fairmont are kind of sparse, that's a pain. Juniper is trying to be something very specific. It wants to be something. Every little touch bespeaks it. What if you just want a good meal? What if you're more interested in the food -- and even more so, the variety of food (because it's darn limited here!) -- than in the presentation? Ugh. I can't fault the place. I just wish the Fairmont would go another direction. But give it a try: you may love it. Again, they're good at what they do. read more

Great service and ambiance. Food was great during my first visit. The bread and corn-cakes were served warm. Duck was flavorful. My second visit the place smelled fishy. That should have been an alert. Ordered the tile-fish and it was bland, fishy, and disappointing. The blue corn doughnut for dessert was dry. In short, great place to go for service and ambiance but food can be spotty... read more

My friend and I went there on a Wednesday night, and we are one of the three tables there. The ambiance was great, but it just felt a bit weird to dine in a restaurant without many people. The service was really good, and waiter kept checking on us and was very nice to recommend the dishes on the menu. OMG, I love the lamb - the best lamb I've ever had in DC!! Though it's the most expensive dish on the menu, it totally worth that!!! The steak was a bit disappointing, but it's not a steakhouse, I understand. I think I will go back sometime for get the lamb again~ :) read more

My girlfriend and I had a great experience at the Juniper during Restaurant Week. Everything we had was delicious. I couldn't get enough of the corn muffin in their bread bowl. I had the salmon with sea beans, my girlfriend had the pork chop with polenta. The sea beans were a pleasant suprise (first time) and went great with the salmon. Crunchy and salty. Like a mix between asparagus and capers. The side of wild mushrooms we got were probably our favorite dish. I always appreciate it when a restaurant has something other than the relatively tasteless white button and portabello mushrooms. Both of the desserts we tried were delicious, especially the milk chocolate pave. As for the service, it was friendly, quick and attentive. Besides, the food and service, this hotel is gorgeous and has amazing ambiance. There is an old world charm you don't find in many modern chic hotels like the W. We ate outside in the lush and beautiful garden. The only thing that could've made this better was something to deal with the mosquitoes. Despite all this fanciness, it didn't feel "stuffy" or "uninviting". Nor did it feel forced like some high end restaurants I've been to. You definitely don't come here to get drunk during happy hour, or get a good "value" on your 20 lbs of food. The menu has all the bases covered, including a burger for those unadventurous diners. We will definitely come here again. read more

We had a Thanksgiving reservation at the Ritz-Carlton that turned out to be in a meeting room not the restaurant. Walked out in disgust and stopped at the Fairmont. Despite being sold out, Gina, the hostess made room for us within 15 minutes. The Thanksgiving dinner was superb. The service was very good. The Manager Luis Gonzalez, brought us a crab cake to taste that was amazing. The wines paired with dinner were superb. A wonderful evening. Thank you Gina for great service above and beyond. We will be back. read more

As an FYI, Juniper is located inside the Fairmont hotel. Upon entering the restaurant it's extremely spacious and modern, similar to the rest of the hotel. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The servers greeted us immediately to bring us water, which they stayed on top of refilling all night to my extreme gratitude (I like when servers care about my level of thirst). The chef gave us complimentary bite size tuna pieces just after we ordered. For starters I got the crab cakes which were extremely fresh. It was seasoned well and was actual crab meat! They didn't have to hide anything with bread crumbs and it was very good. I got the paleo steak and cobb entree which surprisingly was a lot of food. The steak was delicious and had a sweet and smoky sauce on it. There was a huge bed of mixed greens to go along with the lobster salad, egg, tomato and sliced avocado. It was nice to be in a restaurant that prides itself on the freshness of it's ingredients and that came through in the dishes. read more

Have been here several times for some after-work drinks. Very expensive (ugh) but very classy, and actually a very good atmosphere for having work drinks when you think about it. Obviously you want to go to a nice place that has interesting cocktails and isn't too loud. This place always has this after-work, "sanitized" feel to me, if you know what I mean. It is not cheap, but the cocktails are good and there are good appetizer snacks. Some friends recently got married at this hotel, and reading other reviews, it looks like the beautiful courtyard where they had their after-reception is part of the restaurant. I have to concur that the courtyard is gorgeous, there are tables out there and it is so pleasant to sit out there and have some drinks. In the end this is a very beautiful and classy hotel. If it hadn't been for this wedding, I would have thought of it as a snob, after-work place that didn't deserve much recognition. But after the wedding, I would say for the atmosphere alone, you should come to this hotel restaurant and sit out on their back patio. It is beautiful and pleasant. read more

We decided to come here because the Fairmont appears to be a nice wedding venue right off busy M Street. We got to sit outside in the beautiful courtyard on a nice Friday evening. To start off, the waiter brought an amuse bouche of strawberry lemonade with mint, which was delicious. We got the walnut honey bread with the honey butter. It was delicious! Apparently, they have bees on top of the hotel, from which they get their fresh honey. For our entrees, I got the scallops with broccolini and the BF got the lamb chops. Both were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We also got a nice Riesling, but forgoed dessert. I am only giving it 3 stars because even though the food was good, it was not amazing. But I plan to come back and try more of their dishes and hopefully, their event dishes will be wonderful as well. read more

I was reading some of the not so exciting reviews about this restaurant related to a regular dining services but decided to try it any way while staying in the Fairmont hotel by assuming that nothing can go wrong with "all you can eat" standard breakfast buffet option. Just cannot express enough how wrong I was with this silly assumption: At 9:30AM they apparently already removed all hot items station option in preparation for 10:30 breakfast service shutdown without any additional explanations. A simple question - where I should find advertised hot items - was meet with the unacceptable attitude by a service lady. My personal suggestion - stay away and for the much better experience just try 'Blue Duck Tavern" across the street. read more

Tried brunch last Sunday. It was everything I hoped --- nice buffet offerings, but you order your entree from the menu -- best of both worlds! Bottomless mimosas, crab claws, shrimp, oysters --- you could eat your weight of it, and for $48, not a bad deal. Definitely worth a special occasion, but considering that most luxury hotel brunches are pushing $100, this is a down-right steal! The small dessert buffet was perfect. Lots of lovely things to choose from and they are all mini. Just the right size for a sweet ending. read more

I ordered the Jumbo Crab Cake Benedict off the ala carte menu which came with a side of potatoes and heirloom tomato. I was excited as it was also recommended by our waiter. The food finally came after 25-30 minutes and presentation wise it was simple. I took my fork cut it through my poached egg and water gushed out. I was surprised to see that as with a poached egg yoke oozes out first. The crab cake was not jumbo. I guess juniper has a different interpretation of huge. The crab cake looked like cut up potato hash spread on a English muffin. The bread was soggy and soaked in butter. The hollandaise sauce was a bit heavy to my liking. The potatoes tasted alright. I would recommend to NEVER order the jumbo crab cake Benedict. It was worth more like 4.99 being served at the Waffle House then 22 bucks at a nice restaurant hotel. Such a sad excuse for a Benedict. read more

I had breakfast here 3 consecutive days and dinner one night as we received top notch service in Juniper. First, breakfast is wonderful. The fresh fruit and oatmeal each morning were just what I needed to make it through walking or cabbing around DC museums nonstop for a week. Their coffee and juices were also very, very good. The hotel manager threw in a 50% discount on dinner, else we probably would have never tried this spot. In retrospect, it was one of the best meals quiet meals enjoyed while in DC.The market fresh fish was wonderful and the wine selection was also excellent. Attire is smart casual for dinner and seemingly more casual for breakfast. read more

Met out of town guests here on a Wednesday night. I didn't really expect anything special but my husband and I were pleasantly surprised! The price points were very reasonable compared to most restaurants in the District. I assumed it would be your typical over the top priced food that you see at most hotels. First, it was great for conversing... plenty of space, elegant, relaxing and comfortable. The menu was progressive with lots of local farm choices. I had the seafood Cobb salad and it was uniquely flavored, presented nicely and was generous. My husband some sort of steak and others had dishes that were all nicely prepared and again, generous serving sizes. The breads were delicious and fresh. We all ended up splitting a toffee dessert with ice cream... oh my what a treat. Wine was 50% off (Wednesday) special. We will definitely keep Juniper in mind for future dining!!!! A wonderful treat. And... oddly enough, our Uber ride from NE Capitol Hill (near Union Station) was only $25 ... taxi ride back home... $30... odd but true. We're total fans of Uber!!! read more

I enjoyed Juniper. It stormed the night I went so unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the courtyard, which I've heard is beautiful. The food was pretty good. The house bread and honey is a must try. Everything else was good but not particularly memorable. The one thing I would recommend diners steer clear of is the Maryland crab soup. Very little crab, lots of soup and little flavor. The ambiance was nice- Juniper is well lit, quiet, and a great place to go if you actually want to be able to carry on a conversation with someone. read more

Fun to try out, but I wouldn't bank any special occasion on this place Pros: Staff was friendly. The guy who sat us was especially good and if I were to give a review based just on his excellent disposition, it would be 5/5. The food was good. Not out of this world. Steak was sinewy at points and the crabcake didn't blow my mind. Impressed with the fact that they had an in house sparkling water. Cons: Brought the appetizer out late. The entrees came less than a minute after the appetizer. They didn't bring our wine till halfway through the entree. They swiped my card brought me the check and I signed it. Then due to some error they chased me down and had to do it again. There were a bunch of different people tending to us and none of them seemed to communicate. Also, the English, in some cases, was not as good as I like in servers at an high end american food joint. read more

We finished watching an excellent movie at West End Cinema and figured we would head to Juniper since we had an expiring coupon. The restaurant is located at the Fairmont- quite the ritzy place- and is elegantly chic. Our initial server was not the most attentive nor friendly but eventually there was a change of servers and our next one was actually very accommodating and helpful. The bread basket is quite diverse: there is an amazon corn muffin, some small baguettes and some large crackers which are definitely tasty. We liked the corn muffins so much we asked for extras and even got to take some home! In terms of the meal, there were some ups and downs... I had viewed the menu on-line an had my heart set on the pork with the rhubarb compote- this was not available and the options I was left with weren't as thrilling. We ended up getting the pre-fixe menu. My boyfriend definitely had more luck on this. -Apps: clam chowder- he said it had great flavor; juniper salad- bland as could be, the cold potato slices threw me off quite a bit too -Entrees: steak- cooked very well, had an interesting tomato butter, mashed potatoes were good; the fish- bland again, greens were OK, nothing special -Desserts: he ordered the Blue Corn Doughnuts- quite inventive but the caramel corn was a bit mushy and the doughnuts were dry and not very flavorful, the ice cream was good; I ordered their signature cherry pie: what salvaged an otherwise meh-tastic meal (don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful time being with each other but the food under-delivered). The pie looked beautiful and delicate- loved the tartness of the cherries with the rest of the pie. All in all, average restaurant in a boutique hotel. Not sure I'll return or will recommend. read more

My wife and I had dinner here while staying in the hotel. The restaurant was about two-thirds full on a Friday night, so not bad. The food was good. We had a small loaf of whole wheat honey bread with honey butter, which was REALLY good. It has a bit of a strong flavor, but we loved it. For dinner we had crab cakes and salmon. The crab cakes were fine and were served in a remoulade sauce. The sauce, which was spicy, was the best part. The salmon was also good and was in a fruit sauce. A little different but again, tasted good. The vegetables served with the entrees were mediocre - not much flavor. We had an asparagus risotto as a side which I do not recommend - very mushy and the flavors did not mix. Dessert (lemon blueberry chocolate item) was good, heavy on the blueberries and lemon. The wine list was not extensive but had some nice choices that went well with the food. Service was fine but they seemed understaffed - our waitress was covering a lot of tables. I'd worry if the restaurant was really crowded. Would go back. read more

Overpriced and poorly prepared is about all that can be said for the poorly seasoned T-Bone steak that I was served. While it was cooked to the correct doneness I doubt the chef has ever met Mr. Salt or Pepper. The polenta was more like loose cornmeal and quite bland, catching the theme? The service staff were eager to please and very friendly. The kitchen staff had no idea what was going on. read more

Came here for the first time tonight for Valentine's Day. One of the worst dining experiences. The menu was $60 per person. Appetizer salad tasted like fish, thankfully was brought out soup instead and sent the salad back. Main dish was chicken with cold mashed potatoes. Chicken was warm but potatoes were cold. Then we were told we didn't have to choose between the dessert options because we would get both each. The menu is $60 with both desserts listed per menu, but instead they brought out them together for us to share. Very deceiving. Then we pay the bill and our bottle of wine which was supposed to have a 10% discount for Valentine's day, was not discontinued. We waited for our waiter to come back and correct the bill but he never came back. Also the wine was listed as 2013 on the menu, the bottle they brought was 2017. Cant forget to mention they brought out the wrong food to us at the start of the evening even though we were literally the only people in the restaurant. Yikes. Never again. Over $200 and I'm still hungry and they overcharged us. Awful. read more

By far the best crab cakes I have ever tasted in my entire life! Extremely fresh ingredients, along with amazing service (Myra was so sweet). I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the D.C. area. read more

Juniper Restaurant - Delicious mini crab cakes! The most beautiful presentation. - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is the restaurant at the Fairmont hotel, so your expectations should be high. I came for breakfast and the food was horrible, very pricey , try to avoid it if you stay atraía hotel. Best option is across the street at blue duck Tavern. The stars are for the service which was great read more

Second visit to this gem was last Friday in December in honor of husbands birthday. We love: extensive single malt scotch menu, perfect volume on pleasant music creating ideal ambiance, delightful presentation on my dessert including edible flower petals in dredge of apple butter garnish, kind staff who strike exact balance of attentive vs cloying (never cloying) vs oblivious (they pay attention). Prices a bit high but considering quality it's worth it read more

We had such a great dinner at this restaurant. It was relaxing with great service, and even greater food. Loved the atmosphere as well. Overall amazing experience! They have a great dinner menu. read more

Loved it. Esaya from Ethiopia was my excellent server. No clue who cooked my burger, where they hail from and nor do I care. Mmm mmm. And let me tell you, I wasn't expecting much. Cesar salad was delicious. I'm not easy to please and I had very low expectations (only ate here because staying at hotel and too tired to go anywhere else). So, all I can speak to is the burger and the Cesar and I can't imagine you won't love them both. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Juniper last night when i got into DC for work. From the moment you enter the restaurant the staff is friendly and attentive. After a long day of travel and meetings i was having a hard time deciding on what to eat, luckily for me my waiter was ready with a recommendation. I took his recommendation and ordered the beef tenderloin (FIlet) and I am so glad i did. The steak was a perfectly prepared medium rare, seared on the outside, cool and red on the inside. I was tired so i did not stick around for dessert but i will be back and will be getting the apple pie which looked delicious! I highly recommend Juniper for travelers and locals alike. read more
