Juniper & Ivy
Juniper & Ivy, a modernist American restaurant located on the outskirts of San Diego’s historically rich Little Italy neighborhood is set in a converted 1920s sawtooth warehouse. J&I presents the regional culinary landscape with a sophisticated dining experience that is as refined as it is playful.
The restaurant is the result of a unique partnership between owner Michael Rosen, who trained at London’s prestigious Le Cordon Bleu, and Richard Blais. In their first “left coast” concept, Blais and the J&I team have culled some of the top talent in the industry including Chef de Cuisine Jon Sloan, renowned mixologist Eric Johnson, and Wine and Beverage Director Brandon Boghosian.

Much like the building itself, J&I’s dinner menu has its basis in classic techniques, all elevated by modernist elements. The menu evolves daily based on the chef’s ever- changing inspiration and culinary vision. While the menu is whimsical in nature, Blais highlights the region’s bountiful fresh ingredients sourced from Baja to Vancouver. The menu presents guests with refined American food with a left coast edge, including the signature Buttermilk Biscuit with the option of foie butter, Carne Cruda Asada with Quail Egg, King Trumpet Mushroom and Mushroom Gravy.
Blais’ locally inspired menu is complemented by Johnson’s innovative craft cocktail offerings and Boghosian’s thoughtfully curated wine and beverage program. A prominent emphasis is dedicated to Boghosian’s approachable wine compilation, a selective list featuring the highest- quality varietals from all corners of the world. The collection is comprised of two sections: “Tried and True,” representing classics and go-to favorites, and “Leap of Faith,” featuring exciting varietals, up-and-coming regions and classics that are not readily available.
United by a common vision of elevating the ever-expanding Southern California dining scene, the J&I team is dedicated to creating an unparalleled guest experience complete with unique, never- before-seen elements from the memorable cuisine to the dynamic design aesthetic.
