We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour. Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

The Winter tea experience at the Old Mill was lovely. It appears they have two seatings which creates a bit of chaos in the lobby area as they are seating a large number of people simultaneously which detracts a bit from the arrival. The hostess provided a clear overview along with a bit of history which was a lovely touch. Lots of options on tea options and nice to have a choice of two teas. The food was good - definitely enough to fill you up. Everything was delicious.

The food was top notch for Greek food, everything tasted so good, food was a bit pricey for what you get in quantity but that is expected. The $38 Greek wine was amazing. It is a tight space so you don’t have a lot of room and it is always packed which is expected beauties of how good the food was. Great experience and great food so what else can you ask for.
