Juniper on the Water, a hidden gem located off of the Intracoastal Waterway, offers diners an unforgettable view and a unique ambience. Whether looking to hear great live music, catch a glimpse of the romantic Intracoastal waterfront, or enjoying the elegant dining room inside, Juniper on the Water will surpass all expectations.
About a year ago, owners Scott, Sho and Chris put their heads together and transformed an industry passion into reality. Juniper, meaning strength and “to bloom or flourish”, symbolizes the vision, heart and culinary passion combined by the owners.
Scott and Sho learned every aspect of the business by working there way up through all areas of the restaurant industry. After many years of experience in the hospitality field, Scott and Sho found themselves opening a restaurant to call their very own. “It really helps you learn when you start at the very bottom and learn from both the good and bad experiences,” says Scott.
The duo quickly crafted the idea and space for Juniper on the Water, and after 18 months of renovation, the restaurant opened its doors, emitting a warm and welcoming atmosphere to all. Juniper has a one-of-a-kind understated elegance, quite different from any other restaurant in the South Florida area. Besides the magnificent view, its upscale, Mediterranean influence adds the right touch of refinement, while its beach-like feel instantly helps diners feel at ease.
At Juniper on the Water, visitors can relax, whether bringing the family together for brunch or sipping cocktails on a night out with friends. The house favorite, the Seafood Paella, (toasted Israeli couscous, clams, mussels, shrimp, fresh fish fillet, chorizo, green peas, & roasted bell peppers) portrays a flavorful mix representing Juniper’s Mediterranean culture and is an absolute MUST. Other to die for items on the menu include the clams, the octopus and the lobster. “It’s not only about the quality of our food. We want our customers to feel the ambience, be provided with top tier service, and overall have an unforgettable experience,” states Sho.
