Introducing Juni! A fresh “little sister” concept with playful, exclusive bar menu!
We Want to Start a Conversation
About the way we gather, share and experience food. About ingredients and what they’re capable of from farm, to chef, to table. About how food moves our culture forward.
Left-Coast Cookery
Juniper & Ivy delivers a chef-driven menu that uses hand-selected, seasonal ingredients crafted with precision, passion, and creativity. Daily offerings rotate, based on the top ingredients brought in by local farmers and fishermen each morning.
Our Menu
Founded by Owner Michael Rosen, Juniper’s kitchen is backed by a supergroup of culinary minds that produce one of the most refined yet imaginative menus in town. Pair that with pristine attention to detail and unsurpassed breadth of knowledge from our front of house team for an unforgettable dining experience.
MEET OUR TEAM
We believe in good wine. With an award-winning wine list and a knowledgeable team of servers and sommeliers, your meal will be perfectly paired for the most well-rounded experience, down to the last drop.

Our Space
A once-abandoned warehouse has been transformed into an impressive social dining space with a big open kitchen where guests can catch the action of the Chef team. Grab a seat in the spacious bar area, sit amongst the main dining room, interact with our culinary team at the Chef's counter, or enjoy the SoCal weather on the covered patio.

Menu as captured Aug 29, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 267 venues in San Diego, CA and could score 41 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
