Great times with great friends and the drinks were 10/10
Thank you for NOT using Seed Oils in your food. You are the best for using real ingredients.
Where to start on this…. I guess at the front door where we met annually nice and sincer Gentleman who gave us our card pass and instructions how to get to Juniper since we have never been there. Met an Awesome young man in the elevator who worked there and gave us an over view of Juniper and what to expect.Greeted by Jamie and led to our table looking east over the city!!! Great view. Jamie was also our server and helped and made suggestions for our meal!! She was SUPER SWEET and knew her job…. And was soooo much fun as she helped make this a Special Evening for my wife and I.We started out with an appetizer of Bread with French Baguette bread, Garlic Butter, Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil… one of my favorites!! My wife ordered the the Roasted Beet Salad and I a Caesar Salad. Both Excellent!!!Our Main entrée was Wild Caught Alaskan Halibut and I had the Steak Special with Scallops. Both Dishes were INCREDIBLE!!! The flavor of her Halibut was outstanding and I would order anytime. But I have to say about my steak…. It was the BEST STESK I’ve had in Rapid City in the 51 years I’ve live here. Cooked to PERFECTION (Med Rare) with the most outstanding sear that added sooo much flavor!!! Only place that compares to this is Mortan’s Steak House in St. Louis.This was Truley a night for us to remember with the view of Rapid City at night, the EXCELLENT FOOD and SERVICE!!I can’t Thank Jamie, the Chefs and Staff for making our Night Out one to remember!!!!!
Just had two of their signature cocktails. Views are great. No food service since it was Halloween.
Such an amazing atmosphere. I love rooftop bars. We started at tinderbox and the owner sent us over here to the rooftop! It was my partners 21st birthday and everyone there made us feel so welcomed. Emilio the manager was very kind and offered to get us a round of drinks for my partners birthday. Everyone we met up there were very social-able and outgoing. Benji the bartender at the time made josh a delicious drink called the paper plane! My partner said it was the best drink of the night. The view is spectacular, very special place to spend time. They also carry cigars and you can smoke them outside next to the fire (which I am so grateful for their fire pits because it gets a little cold out there!)
The steak and halibut were a hit with our party! The best food you'll have around this area.
We all cleaned our plates. Best steak I've had in a while. Delicious food and great service. Owner operated.
What a beautiful view
Very cool roof-top bar with food.The Charcuterie Board has some interesting offerings and was very good.Specialty drinks were quite refreshing!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Best place to go in Rapid!
Excellent tasting food, worth the wait and money!
Great service and drinks, this place is a vibe!
Some of the most amazing food I have ever had
Would recommend for an adult special occasion. The food was delicious. The service was attentive and cordial. The atmosphere was pleasant.
We loved the view, the food was amazing and the service was spectacular.
Great and impressive place! The filet was outstanding!
Beautiful views, fun rooftop bar!
