Juniper Restaurant

A big dissappointment!

We purchased a 5 course taster menu via living social. On arrival, the table was by the door, ambience poor, decor filthy and staff surly. The food wasn't an interesting taster menu but a poor attempt at a 5 course meal showing little originality and poor presentation. I spent half the night on the loo and interestingly we met another couple we knew doing the same deal and subsequently discovered that one of them also came down with an upset stomach. The restaurant carries a health warning and should definitely to be avoided.

We had the 8 course taster meal from groupon, the food was great but we waited around 15 minutes between each tiny course- even for the lemon sorbet! The service was very amateur, some friendly staff and some who didn't want to be there. We had at least 5 different staff serve us which we didn't find very professional or attentive.
It's a shame we had to wait so long as the food was well cooked and well flavoured. The staff seem to need more training and to be managed properly rather than stand about chatting. All in all an average meal out.

DO not go!!!When booked online and confirmed that does not mean they actually have a table for you.We arrived after getting taxis to Kingsdown to find that our christmas Night out was ruined. they did not have a table for us even though we had a written confirmed booking.i am amazed that they could not do anything for us- there is nothing in the Kingsdown area so ended up having to pay out for yet another taxi to whiteladies Road.Not what we wanted for a special night out for christmas.the worst part is that they said they would ring the next day- they could not be bothered.- I popped a letter in through there door- they could not be bothered!!Completely disinterested in the fact they spoiled our evening- it cost us lots of money for taxis.Would not recommend their customer care at all.
