    Great location and service was generally ok however there did seem to be a shift change and the food we ordered never arrived. When we went to settle our bill the food was still on, so then commenced the uncomfortable conversation to remove it. I do like it there so would try again.

    Dining in the restaurant was excellent, our waiter was very good and knowledgeable, we had a very nice bottle of wine with the Chateaubriand steak sharing platter, along with a nice surprise anniversary dessert board. Having eaten here several times over the last few years we would certainly recommend.

    Our first visit and won’t be the last. I marked food as 1, however we did not eat though plan to do that next time. We had a lovely comfortable seat at the window with great views. Service was great and not invasive. Cocktails were average price for town so a little expensive but tasted top notch so you don’t mind paying a little extra. Overall a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

    I booked for myself and two colleagues to meet in the library for a 9am meeting. We ordered coffee/tea and the staff were very attentive. The breakfast looked amazing so our next meeting will be a breakfast meeting. Highly recommend this venue.

    We frequent The Juniper about once a month (obviously a favourite of we ladies who lunch). Yesterday the service was particularly good and our request to be moved to a quieter area was accommodated very swiftly, thank you to all the staff who were very pleasant and professional, a big thank you to the young man who looked after us so well, apologies for not catching your name.

    The service was faultless, just would have been nice to have a table in the bar area, we were out in the table that’s pretty much in the lobby. I was late booking so maybe I should just be happy we got a table at all! Definitely be back!

    Beautifully decorated for the festive season, and our visit on Hogmanay was really good. As expected the place was very busy with lots of guests but only a few members of staff appeared to be waiting/serving drinks. We waited a wee while for our order to be taken and brought to us, but do appreciate that the place was busy and cocktails do take longer to make than pulling a pint. Highly recommend the pink grapefruit spritz - delicious.

    Didn't eat here, but has to put something in in order to submit a review. Very disappointed in the vastly reduced drinks menu. This was our favourite cocktail bar in Edinburgh until now, now we have been reduced to having just a glass of champagne instead. The bar very kindly have us our favourite booth as requested on the booking and the service was efficient but so very disappointed at the fact that what was once a great, innovative cocktail menu has been reduced to 5 or 6 very basic cocktails plus a couple of champagne cocktails. Unfortunately we won't be back unless something changes and this becomes a cocktail bar again. It so deserves to be.

    Not as good as it used to be . Cocktail menu appears reduced in size and less choice. Despite booking a table in the library area this did not happen and we were seated in the main bar . Staff were pleasant. Not sure if I will return soon

    A lovely cocktail bar, lovely inviting staff, a great atmosphere to enjoy a few drinks with friends. The only critique would be that the music was quite loud so we did have to shout at each other to have conversations.

    I could not comment on the food as was only in for drinks. It's a lovely lovely bar but I thought £10.50 was pricey for a regular cocktail.
