                                                              My son and I were looking for a really nice meal in a really nice environment, and Julia's delivered. The hostest was unnecessarily rude, but the wait staff were wonderful and our waiter couldn't have been better. I will be back. The French onion soup was really yummy. My son loved the escargot, and the duck was devine. Thank you for providing us with such a nice evening.
