Juniper (New Town)

• 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
• Where they really fall down is in the service
• 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
• 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
• I didn't want four cocktails on a Tuesday night so I was really happy to share
• The waitstaff was mildly apologetic and blamed the delays on how busy they were
• The cocktails were interesting
• The sofas and armchairs were comfortable
• The noise level was conducive to conversation
• Hoping to discover that the slow service we experienced this time was was just a fluke
• The wait to be served is what lets it down but they are pretty good at what they do
• A generous helping of tasty and hot mac and cheese with lovely and sweet lobster on the top
