    My date and I were in town for a night at the theater and chose Juniper & Ivy as our destination dining experience and it did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely outstanding!!! The atmosphere was a designer's delight! Every detail was well appointed. The servers were prompt, polite and knowledgeable. Juniper & Ivy deserves another Michelin star!!! Before we were half way through our meal, my date and I agreed we would come back without seeing a show! That's how amazing the food and service was. By the way, we drove over a 100 miles for this date night and plan to do it again just to experience more of Chef Kinsella's carefully curated cuisine. We ordered from top to bottom the Wagyu Butter Biscuit- the presentation alone was so worth it. I will not spoil the surprise. The MOONROCK Oysters were divine! The pork belly skewers with its banana ketchup glaze were so good we placed a second order of those!!! OMG! And finally for the main event we had the Whole Fried Fish -a rose snapper that was truly a work of art in terms of presentation and the succulent texture and flavor of the fish. My date and I kept our dessert choice light and chose the Creamsicle Sorbet. It too was a work of art and the perfect culinary sensation to complete the most magnificent dining experience.
