A fun and beautiful old French bistro look with surprisingly roomy dining rooms. You are not jammed close to other dinners which we appreciated. Moules were truly excellent, modestly customized for us and full of fresh herbs. Very plump and delicious. The roasted carrots could be a meal in their own, a well conceived dish with ricotta and herbs. Salmon was delightful with peas asparagus and other fresh veggies, very summery though it is winter now. Have looked at Juliette from the outside many times and walked on, but am so glad I finally gave it a chance, it’s a winner (and excellent hardworking staff too! )

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.
