Sarah Jonas and Cameryne Roberts open Juniper 61 in Wauwatosa. |

Sarah Jonas and Cameryne Roberts, whose Lulu restaurant and bar was a catalyst for Bay View's renaissance have opened their new restaurant, Juniper 61, in the former Shiraz space at 6030 W. North Ave. in Wauwatosa.
In October, Jonas -- a graduate of MATC's culinary arts and restaurant management programs -- and Culinary Institute of America alum Roberts told OnMilwaukee.com's Amy Schubert that they hope to make Juniper 61 a neighborhood restaurant that will reflect its area as well as Lulu reflects Bay View.
Jonas and Roberts have said that Juniper 61 will not have the same menu as Lulu's and will offer an expanded selection of appetizers and main courses, which will have a contemporary twist.
For someone who relied heavily on Lulu in the pre-explosion Bay View days and now lives on Milwaukee's West Side -- in walking distance from Juniper 61 during warmer months -- this is very welcome news.

We had an enjoyable dinner at the 61 last week. After talking to our waitress, it sounds like they are re-working the menu to incorporate more dishes from Lulu's. She said if there is anything in particular you want to see on the menu (like the east-indian chicken pita in my case) you should email the owners. Also, I tried rhubarb pie for the first time at 61 and it was wonderful! I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little sour treat every once in a while.

Went to Juniper on Friday night. We were quoted a 40 minute wait and it was probably just over that... they were packed! Greek combo plate appitizer was solid. Burger was very good. Barcelona Chicken sandwich was a bit bland. Sides of chips and Asian slaw (same as Lulus) were very good. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. I'd give it a B on this visit... and we'll be back to check out some of the other interesting looking menu items, though probably at a slower time than Friday night.

Very excited as I love LuLu's menu more than any other in the city for a casual meal - and now only 5 minutes from home. We will be there very soon.

Safe to assume that Mr. High Life Man doesn't live in my wonderful neighborhood...right around the corner from Juniper 61. Thank God...we don't need any losers like him to pollute the area!
