Juniper Restaurant

Ambiance was hotel generic. I think I should have moved on and not ordered after receiving brown lemon and lime wedges with my sparkling water. And not brown on the skin. I am talking brown on the inside. Food was extremely overpriced for the quality. Extremely! Chicken Caesar was dry and chewy. For a $22 salad it should have wowed me….but no. Hamburger was overcooked and greasy. Can you believe we ate it all because the final price along with two drinks and bread came to almost $110? That’s too high a price for me to just leave behind. I used OpenTable to book a 1:30 reservation. Upon arrival I was informed the kitchen would be closing at 2:00pm. I am not sure why there would be a booking available at that time (there was a 1:45 as well) if your average order and eat process at a sit down restaurant usually takes longer than 30 min. With thoroughly rushing every step of the way through our lunch, we were out the door approximately 2:05pm. Of course that was easy with our two servers

My husband and I went for brunch even though we didn't stay at the hotel. It is located inside the Fairmont Hotel, and when you enter the hotel go toward the left of the lobby to get to the restaurant. You may be able to find street parking but if not, you can valet in the hotel garage for $20. The brunch/breakfast buffet is extensive and even available during weekdays. They have scrambled eggs on the buffet or you can order any type of egg preparation for no extra charge. The buffet also had fruit, charcuterie meat and cheeses, sausages, bacon, home fries, yogurt, juices, granola, bagels, waffles, muffins, lox and pastries. All of the condiments were in individual mini glass jars. Bring your appetite. It cost just over $30/per person and it includes beverages of coffee, tea, milk, juice, etc. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options- fruit, potatoes, waffles, pastries, bagels, granola, etc. Kid-friendliness: There were a few older children in the restaurant

I just recently stayed at the Fairmont, which was WONDERFUL, and ate at this restaurant a couple of times for breakfast. They have the most incredible Crab Cake Benedict and Banana Foster waffles that we had for desserts because we just couldn't decide what to order. Everything looked so good! However, the highlight of our experience was our waiter, Oscar. He was incredible and made dining there more than just a meal. Best of all, they serve mimosas, giving several champagne options!
