| - If you don't mind paying WAY over the odds for mediocre food, Julie's is the place for you. I could understand the price points if I was a suit in a slick King West "place to be seen", but this is a "cute" little place in which decor wise everything is clearly cheap (aka authentic Cuban). This should be reflected in the price of the food. No draft beer (a cardinal sin in my opinion), so they sell bottles for $6!!! A mojito was $9!! None of my party of 4 had a drink as we were all put off by the prices.
The most scandalous rip I've ever come across in the history of eating out was the Chicken Quesadilla, it was a special and they were charging $14, when it came out I almost fell off my plastic chair, it was so small we hardly had a bite each, shameful to be charging $14 for that. It was not superior in taste to any mexican restaurant either.
We had to send back a mushroom and garlic stuffed potato, because there was no filling when we cut it open. When we got the next one, it was cold in the middle.
Very disappointed, had lived in the area for a couple of years and always wanted to try Julie's, wish I hadn't bothered. Also wish I had heeded the words of other reviewers, who seemed to have the same issues.
The corn fritters were very good.
Service was pleasant.
Basically if you have very little concept of value for money, and you like "cute" places that will help you take your mind off the prices, well then by all means have at it hoss!!
