Best Seasonal Restaurants in Pinole

Julia’s is a hidden gem. The building is beautiful and the restaurant is spacious and relatively quiet. You can hear the people at your table speak and this is a major plus, given most restaurants are loud and noisy. The waitress was excellent and the man who helped us pick the wine to go with our meal was above and beyond helpful. We will be back!! I highly recommend having a meal here

Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

The food, service and experience was simply excellent from start to finish. We had such a lovely time on Xmas eve. The crab pasta was fantastic as was the pork chop. Our dessert (the flour-less chocolate cake) was the perfect culmination of tastes. There is a reason that this restaurant continues to impress year after year.

They open a back room on Friday and Saturday and it was quiet! Our server was prompt at figuring out our needs. The food was excellent and the coffee surprisingly good.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, as was the service. I would highly recommend this location.
