    Julia's is in a spectacular building designed by the famed architect Julia Morgan in the 1930's. It takes you into another world, and is really the best part of the dining experience. Make time to explore, including a beautiful indoor swimming pool on the first floor. The service was good and the ambiance was great. The menu was interesting and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the fare. The food was rich and artfully plated. Unfortunately, my dish was a bit oversalted for my taste. My companion's duck breast was not very flavorful at all: the duck was very mild and the orange sauce was not very orange. Go for the experience, not for the food.

    Hi Jeremy! It looks like you dined with us during our Tuesday Teatime. On Tuesdays, we only serve our Teatime menu during lunch hours. We hope you can stop by another time of the week to enjoy our full lunch menu!

    A room that shows off Julia Morgan's style, and great service. The food itself, however, was mediocre.

    Exceptional combination of fantastic food, service, and ambiance. A unique venue and being surrounded by a Julia Morgan designed building is a huge part of the experience. If you want a quiet place to enjoy a meal without restless noisy kids this is it.
