I hadn't eaten at Julii's for quite some time and picked it for a special dinner for a friend who is moving out of town. I remembered it was very good and it certainly did not disappoint. Starting with the wait staff who carefully went over the menu and drink list and made excellent suggestions. We share the avocado salad and each had the fried trout. Everything was prepared/cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious.

First time here and it was a great experience. We liked all the food we had. As starters octopus and beef tartare (not really classic way of preparing it, has a lot of tomato sauce, but tasty). Mains were mushroom souvlaki, half chicken and shrimp. All wonderful. No space for dessert. Will try next time, because there definitely will be a next time.

Our food was too salty, and my fish was not well cooked. When we complained, the restaurant manager changed our dishes and gave us salmon and rice which was very good. I will definitely return. The service is very good.
