    We had dinner here tonight and it was an experience we won't forget. The vibe of the place was perfect, with an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. What really made the night special, though, was the service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, without being intrusive. They were able to answer all of our questions with enthusiasm, which made it easy to trust their recommendations. Special thank you to the manager, Nick, who came to check in on us throughout the night and made sure we had a great experience! We started with their espresso martinis which were amazing and the best way to start the meal. For mains, we went with the lamb chops and the steak, which were both tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also got the lobster ravioli which was decadent and had just the right about of lobster. To end the night, our server suggested the tiramisu, and I’m so glad we listened. It was everything you’d want in a dessert, and a more than generous portion. Between the fantastic food, the ambiance, and the stellar hospitality, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely be back soon!

    It has a nice ambiance, intimate, and suitable for conversation. We went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was half full. We ordered the Short ribs, steak frites, and hamburger. All of us enjoyed our meals. The meat was done well, and portion sizes were good. It is an older restaurant with a classic charm. Service was on point. We celebrated a birthday and ordered the 13-layer chocolate cake. It was a fun birthday treat, and it was delicious, not too sweet. There was plenty to take home afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations.

    One of the downtown core’s finest dining establishments. The front of the house is very well run, the staff is prompt, pleasant and attentive. But best of all, is the dining experience. Every meal that I have had at Juno has been outstanding.
