    Unfortunately, Julia‘s has stopped serving a full lunch menu.

    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.

    The salad tasted too bitter and there was too isn’t black beans in the salad. Chairs were uncomfortable to sit in and the space was too small. May not come back for a while

    I've only had the croque monsieur. It was great. Also enormous and served with copious fries and a competent side salad. Atmosphere is old world; service is efficient.
