  Been to Juniper a fair few times now, but only ever for leisurely drinks during a long shopping sesh. Decided to pop in for some of the Street Food menu last night before a gig. We had the goats cheese stuffed peppers, the monkfish scampi, the veggie haggis bon bons and fries. And then the star of the show appeared – the lobster mac and cheese. Oh…my…WORD. A generous helping of tasty and hot mac and cheese with lovely and sweet lobster on the top. Tremendous. All dishes were tasty, just not quite as stand out as that mac. They have a new cocktail menu too -but struggled to find anything I liked the sound of.

  We stopped in for a few Saturday drinks and the place was very busy. Lots of people having cocktails which looked fab. The wait to be served is what lets it down but they are pretty good at what they do. If you can get yourself a window seat you’ll have fantastic views of princes street and the castle. edinburgers.co.uk

  I expect there to be some waiting involved when you order cocktails – they obviously take more time to prepare than a glass of wine – but the waiting we did at Juniper wasn’t just for the cocktails. We waited a long time for a waitress to take our initial orders. We waited a long time for tap water to arrive (it came well after the first cocktails, actually). And we waited a long, long time for cocktails. So much so that it became one of the major topics of conversation at our table, wondering when our thirst would be quenched. The waitstaff was mildly apologetic and blamed the delays on how busy they were, but they were far from full of customers. I’d hate to see how slow the service gets on a day when the place is crowded.Other than the speed of the service, it was a good evening. The cocktails were interesting, and not excessively sweet. The sofas and armchairs were comfortable, and the room was well-decorated. The noise level was conducive to conversation. Based on all this and its nice, central location, I’ll probably end up giving Juniper another try, hoping to discover that the slow service we experienced this time was was just a fluke. zurika.com

  Juniper is really tastefully decorated and I love the lounge feel of the place. Unlike so many other cocktail bars in Edinburgh that are tiny and really loud, I liked that it was quieter although I count vouch for weekend nights. I really wanted to like the place!Unfortunately, where they really fall down is in the service. Tonight ten happy friends came in to a very quiet Juniper and it took over half an hour to take our drink order, then over another hour to be served the first cocktails. For those of us indulging in the taster menu (see more below for a word of warning), it took us over two and a half hours to receive the four cocktails. This made for a long evening of waiting, and some frustrated people.I really enjoyed sharing a taster menu of cocktails as it was fun to get to try eight different cocktails and see what we liked best whilst navigating the extensive cocktail menu by taste. The server kindly let us share two taster menus – eight cocktails total – amongst four people but be careful since the menu does state that the 25 cost is per person. If sharing the taster menu with over two people, don’t tell them you are sharing it! I think we only got away with it since we were bringing them so much business. The server made it clear that she was being extra specially nice to us even though we were receiving the eight cocktails amongst four instead of the four cocktails per person that is outlined in the 25 price. Call me a lightweight, but I didn’t want four cocktails on a Tuesday night so I was really happy to share! edinburghtraveller.com
