    adequate number of choices for starter and main courses. Service was good. The environment is lovely -- Julia Morgan architecture building, high ceilings, noise was well controlled even though the dining room was full.

    A hidden gem, enjoyed a nice Valentine's Day dinner in a setting that felt far from the Bay Area

    We went to Julia's for a pre-Valentine dinner, and it was lovely in every way. the room was quiet so we could actually converse, and the food and service were great. A very positive dining experience.

    Fine options on the menu and wine list. We enjoyed the herb-heavy baked escargot and Julia's salad (good mix of sweet, savory, and bitter greens) before halibut in a light and pleasant sauce for me and roast duck breast with unfamiliar but very tasty vegetables. Dessert was a 9/10, the apple cake, dainty but an enjoyable treat. We chose the wine blindly and found it balanced the meal very well, a little fruity with a dry finish. The setting is pleasantly antiquated, grand without being stuffy, and the service was attentive without being obtrusive. We are coming back and bringing friends.

    Cute space, small room, horrible 100 year old chairs to sit on- so uncomfortable, it felt like I was being tilted out of the chair. Food was decent, nicely plated and the service was fine. My risotto had soo much butter in it, I couldn’t finish it.
