Juniper On Main

Location, outdoor seating and the service are the best things this restaurant has to offer. The sangria and crab cakes were really good too. The salmon was just ok. I believe it needs more flavor to it. Nice place to spend time with friends and drink a couple pitchers of sangria.

Service was underwhelming, food wasn't great-undercooked Brussels (admittedly good seasoning), spicy pimento cheese dip was mild and very much Velveeta-esque, crab Rangoon tacos had strong fishy flavor, grilled tarragon chicken was tough and dry enough to send back and the sauce was pretty bland. Interior decor is extremely minimal and bland as well, worth noting is a large amount of patio seating. I've seen great reviews and pics from here so maybe this was just an off night...but it was pretty awful.

Location, atmosphere, and patio are very nice and walking distance to Carmel shops. We tried this for the Devour Indy menu but got a few other items to try since it was our first visit. The team/lemonade and appetizers were good; main courses were average. Overall, it was underwhelming considering the higher price point based on locale. Concepts of the dishes sound very appealing, but execution and seasoning were subpar on our visit. Plantains were good. Cornbread was okay. Corn chowder was runny and the texture seemed more like frozen corn with cream added. Fried green tomatoes were very good. Tea and lemonade were good. Sea Island platter had chicken that was bland and the dish as a whole was under-seasoned. Short-rib and Pimiento Grilled Cheese was good. Fries were good. Hummingbird cake was delicious.
