    Nice "ladies lunch." Appreciated the patience of the staff with late arrivals and limited appetites. The octopus starter was delicious. Hadn't been to Lia's for a while and it was nice to come back and know it is still a great place. Will be back soon.

    Julii's is a lovely restaurant with very good service and excellent food. While every table was occupied, conversation was very easy. My daughter had the fried trout and I had the lamb tagine. Both dishes were wonderful. We started with a salad that we shared. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.
