A surprisingly quiet Wednesday night at Julia's but service and food were great, as always. The Wedge is a great splitable salad; the Burger was great; and others at my table raved about the pork chop and the Fiocchi. Smoke on the Water is a wonderful cocktail and Mikey was a great server. We've eaten here many times and I'm sure we'll be back there many more times.

First time eating here and really enjoyed it. Good mocktail selection (and bourbon, of course). Crispy Brussels sprouts starter was great. Excellent fish dishes (salmon and rockfish). Definitely will be adding to the special occasion rotation! Service very friendly and helpful as well.
