Best American Restaurant in Burlington

We had a wonderful dining experience at Juniper last night. The parsnip cakes and spaetzle were soooo delish. I also had the gnocchi - which they made veggie friendly and was also excellent. What really made the night was our server, Ari. He was amazing! Thank you for being a fantastic human.

Experience at Juniper is always excellent! Welcoming wait staff and varied menu. I had the green salad with apples, blue cheese and radishes plus spinach spatzle with crispy breadcrumbs and pistachios. What a winning combo! I had a lemon and blueberry curd lemon bar. Wow it was spectacular! The next morning I had scrambled eggs with a mushroom ragu! Totally yummy! Nice job team!!

Overall the food was a 9.2/10, the service was 9.6/10 and the ambiance was 7/10. Such a wonderful place to dine at. The food, the service, and atmosphere were all quite good. They offer an exceptional menu with the charcuterie board being my favourite thing I tried here. The jam, cheese, bread/crackers, olives, and prosciutto were all divine! My wife and I went here for our very first anniversary of being married and I am so glad that we picked this spot to dine at out of all the other places in Vermont. Our server Kalani, was hands down the nicest gentleman I have ever met at a restaurant. His professionalism and service were next level and he made us feel very special on our special evening. The only "bad" I have to say about Juniper is the host was very busy and they should consider hiring/utilising someone else to be dedicated to taking room service orders as we had to wait 1-2 minutes when we first arrived for them to finish taking a large order. Also, there was a projection on the back wall of some mistletoe or Christmas holly and while I think it's a nice touch it seems a little tacky considering the rest of the restaurant and how fancy it presents itself, personally I liked it but it could have been a little higher resolution and does take away from the "fancy" looks.

I had breakfast here during a trip to see my son graduate from Champlain College. I was impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. It's a beautifully decorated space, and my breakfast sandwich was delicious. Above-average hotel restaurant.
