    First time. We came for graduation. Beautiful building and space. Food was delicious! Great value too. Portions generous IMO. Service was a tad slow - took a while between courses and check back. We chalked it up to a busy night. Would definitely return.

    Our server was beyond lovely but the hostess was a pill. The food was just mediocre. I had higher expectations… The bread came with butter packets, the only coffee offered was drip. The food was just OK. The best way to describe it, a very bougie retirement home meal. Not bad, just not great. The building is a gem, they should figure out the vibe and food. It could be a truly amazing place with some fixes.

    We were a private party of nine from out of town From the moment I called Julia’s to book the reservation with the restaurant manager Fe to the end of the evening, everything flowed seamlessly. Fe had arranged a table that was even better than we had expected and our server Tony was accommodating and efficient . The noise level was low to moderate which is much desired for all, especially larger parties.

    The restaurant space is gorgeous in an incredible building. The service is 5 star. We went for afternoon tea served on Tuesdays. The selection was good, not great. But overall presentation was very nice. We had an extremely enjoyable afternoon.

    Wonderful attentive, personal service! Beautiful building and restaurant. We loved everything we ate. The lamb was divine! Our server was very attuned to our member of the family with celiac and brought out special bead and gluten free cake (which was free) for my husband's birthday. It was a perfect birthday meal and we left warm, full and happy.

    Would you like to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of an Historic Hotel/Club designed in the 1920 s by renowned architect Julia Morgan? Right in the heart of Berkeley is this time capsule gem. The little dining room on the second floor is "Julia's". Food is delicious and the service sublime! Great place to take your love for a romantic date!
