    I hadn't eaten at Julii's for quite some time and picked it for a special dinner for a friend who is moving out of town. I remembered it was very good and it certainly did not disappoint. Starting with the wait staff who carefully went over the menu and drink list and made excellent suggestions. We share the avocado salad and each had the fried trout. Everything was prepared/cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious.

    Food was good not great, service was very good, but it was very noisy in the indoor part of the restaurant. And there was also music playing which made it hard to hear other people at our own table of 4. If you wear hearing aids communication would be close to a lost cause.

    This is a beautiful space. We had a large party of 8 pp, some friends were late, and we had a friend pull up last minute. I would say, not the easiest table. Our Captain and servers were very attentive and accommodating. All my guests left saying what a fabulous dinner it was. Fun cocktails. We shared a bunch of plates (Halloumi, Gigantes, Spanakopita, Mushrooms [Get Them!]) Feta Wrapped Phyllo, and some ordered mains. The food was so yummy! We will be back.
