Juniper - Calumet-Norvelt

Pretty setting for our 1 PM lunch surprised it was a brunch menu but there were still great choices for all 5 of us. Good, appropriately attentive service. Everything was tasty. But, $235 before tip with only soft drinks, coffee and bottled water?

The decor is beautiful, the food was good, and amazing staff.... Parking: Parking will be difficult.

This was a special brunch for my family and overall, the experience was lovely. The food was nice (the freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious, and the coffee, according to the coffee-drinkers in the family, said it was heavenly). It was really the ambiance and the service that made the experience top-notch.

I made a reservation for brunch on Easter and confirmed twice. When we arrived (on time), our table wasn't ready so they quickly pushed 3 tables together to fit 6 of us in the HALLWAY outside of the restaurant. Are you kidding me??? When we asked about not eating in the hallway, they told us all the tables inside were reserved. It wasn't like we had walked in off the street. We did NOT feel valued. Once we got a waiter, things went relatively better, just slow and a couple items were never brought. Food was not bad. Definitely try to french toast.

Seating was slow even though I had a reservation. Service was incredibly slow. Understand it was a very busy time but we noticed a number of staff but a lack of those that could take orders, refresh drinks, clear plates. Our waiter only took our order, never checked back, and when we asked for our bill we had to follow up with multiple other people before we could get it. There were ants on the floor near our table.
