Juniper's Gin Joint - Fish Creek

This restaurant has a lovely outdoor setting. The bar area, located upstairs, is equipped with plenty of heaters for chilly weather and offers a pleasant view of Main Street. I tried the Korean wing appetizer and a small Greek salad today. The wings were delicious but quite messy—I ended up using six packets of wipes! Unfortunately, the salad didn’t have the fresh and vibrant taste I expected based on the ingredients. Maybe it will improve when tomatoes are in season. On the plus side, the waiter was very attentive.

Dining on the upper patio is a delightful experience. The drinks are delicious, and the food is satisfactory. I ordered the fish sandwich, which had a lovely flaky batter, but the perch itself was rather bland. It wasn’t fishy at all; it just lacked the flavor I usually expect from the Door area. Overall, we will definitely return. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is fantastic.

Great food and service. The perch fry and cherry cheesecake are highly recommended.

This restaurant was unexpectedly very dog-friendly! They provided water for our dog and even have a special menu just for pets. I appreciated their extensive selection of local beers and spirits. As a vegan, I found it challenging to find something to eat (I was also disappointed that my side salad came with cheese), but the staff made an effort to be accommodating, and they do offer some vegetarian options. It would be fantastic if they could include fully plant-based dishes on their menu.

Scoop time. Pictured are the mussels of the day tossed in an herb cream sauce and served with a loaf of bread. There are 20 mussels in this bad boy and trust me, you do NOT want to share. Hindsight, I wish I had just made this my meal instead of sharing with the table. Instead I shared and got the tuna sandwich... no bueno : I'm guessing they seasoned the tuna too early, because it was drier than the desert. I was not a fan. Those mussels though... I'll definitely be back for those bad boys! I'm not sharing next time either!
