We were staying at the Berkeley City Club hotel, and it was pouring rain, so we decided to have a fancy dinner at Julia's. It definitely fits the bill for a couple or a small group looking to have a nice evening. Nothing about this restaurant stands out other than the neat historic building it's in, but nothing about Julia's will offend anyone, either, unless you're turned off by a menu that has only one vegetarian entree and no vegan entree options. The service was stellar. Attentive, friendly, and thoughtful, without being obtrusive - the staff are all definitely pros. The food was prepared well, and met our expectations based on the menu. There's nothing exciting or amazing on the menu, but it's nice. We ended up spending $125 for two entrees, one appetizer, one soup, a bottle of wine, and one dessert to split. If you enjoy spending time with the person or people you're having dinner with, and you don't need vegan meal options, then I'm willing to bet you would have a lovely time at Julia's. However, I wouldn't recommend that anyone should go out of their way to dine at Julia's. There are so many other options in Berkeley. And, if you're a foodie specifically looking to experience amazing food, you would probably be disappointed.

A little gem in the local historical building. The menu is classic and the food is great in terms of the taste, its presentation and proportion. The main is around $22-35-reasonable in a fancy restaurant. There ain't many tables so make sure you reserve one. It is a quiet dining place with a great atmosphere.

I have been here last month for lunch during Restaurant Week, and I really enjoyed this place. It is located in a very beautiful small castle built in 1930, that works also as a hotel today. Food is very tasteful, service is impeccable and the price is pretty much fair. The restaurant is very small, you should reserve a table by the window and prove their delicious creme brulee. The only reason that I do not give five stars is that I think they need a revitalization, a kind of update without losing the historic style.

Went for Valentine's Day. Service was okay, but the food came out slowly. Steak was overcooked (asked for rare, it was medium) but the sauce was very good. Husband said his duck was good. It was your standard "nice place" fare... but lacked any originality. Building is cool.

Beautiful, delicious meal :) Quiet at lunch, with a lovely view out the back window. Felt like a retreat from Downtown Berkeley.
