- JJeffSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoDelicious food that was deeply flavored and surprisingly bright (sometimes soul food can seem super heavy and overwhelming). A perfect brunch spot. I’m eager to bring others and to try their dinner menu. Chef and staff were very pleasant and professional.More infoBurdellPrice: Very Expensive• Soul food• Oakland•4.5
- LLaraLos Angeles •19 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFABULOUS! We did not know what to expect from Julia’s, but we were excited to be in such an historical setting. We got to dinner early (after the Cal game), so we had drinks in their bar, which is adjacent to the restaurant. What a highlight-drinks were spectacular and old school while still being hip and cool. This is a great place for all ages in a stunning location. You really feel a part of the local history. Dinner—OUTSTANDING. All of our orders were different and really a fulfilling experience. The beauty of the building and its facilities makes this space unique, but really the team there, from the bartenders, to the host to the serving staff in the restaurant, are so professional and focused on hospitality—-something that is harder and harder to experience. We will be making this a regular part of our visits to Berkeley.More infoJulia's RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Berkeley•4.8
- EElivipWashington, D.C. Area •11 reviews5.0Dined on 22 Nov 2024Excellent food, turned around quickly by the busy kitchen, service very friendly - despite pressure due to seating backup (apparently because earlier seatings upstairs weren’t turning over, or too many reservations accepted). We took seats at the bar counter; others settled for heated outdoor tables despite the less-than-favorable weather.More infoFarmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine- BerkeleyPrice: Expensive• Thai• Berkeley•4.6
- DDeniseSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined on 17 Nov 2024We live Fush & Bird! In all of the East Bay it is probably the most authentic Japanese food that one can find. The sashimi is very fresh. The temporary light and the tofu is phenomenal. I always look forward to returning to this wonderful restaurant!More infoFish & Bird Sousaku IzakayaPrice: Expensive• Izakaya• Berkeley•4.4
