The steak and halibut were a hit with our party! The best food you'll have around this area.

Louise Glover

I visited Rapid City and stayed at the Hotel Alex for two nights. Both evenings we ate the Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar. The views were incredible especially at sunset. The staff, especially Emilio was excellent and gave outstanding service. The food was so delicious! Everything was 5 star… as fancy as any 5 star restaurant and bar in NYC!!! Will definetly return!

Outstanding way to enjoy a meal in Rapid City. From entry to exit, I enjoyed every step. I chose to sit in the rooftop area despite an expected rain shower. I was quickly accommodated when I requested inside seating. The cocktails were nice and desert (I recommend the cheesecake) was wonderful. I'll be back to see Richard and Ernesto next trip out!

Elijah Schafnitz

Took my fiancé here and they did not disappoint on even one count.So kind and attentive, with the best food thus far in Rapid City.

Jessica Burton

The food was stunning, from flavor to presentation.. we did have a long wait but the quality was worth it.Our server was wonderful and very attentive. The balconys on the rooftop were amazing, I with there was more comfortable seating outside... But the view was beautiful!

Melissa White

Juniper never fails to impress. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary with a night out to dinner. We’ve always loved our experience when dining at this restaurant. The food and service were sensational! I gave the atmosphere 5 stars as well, but we were sad to find out that this will be our last time dining there, due to the membership policy.

Tina

We loved the environment and the food, the waiter, Wes, and bartender were amazing. The music set a great mood and the views were beautiful. I would highly recommend this place.

Mark Harder

Great and impressive place! The filet was outstanding!

Regan Clarke

Beautiful views, fun rooftop bar!

Joedi Tan-Braden

Not too bad an experience but definitely on a expensive side for the food and ambience.The restaurant itself probably goes with the historical theme but decorations, food, beverages and seating area are just not as fancy and worthy of the 5☆ price. $250 for 2 with 4 house drinks.

Paul Ternahan

Service, food and atmosphere were all perfect!

Sodaknshrooms

Ribeye was great salmon was great cocktails were amazing and the desert was out of this world!

Teryn Williams
