I was surprised by some of the negative reviews of Julia's. I have been many times, for dinner, lunch and even just for dessert - for business, special occasions and just a meal out, weekdays and weekends. We held our son's Christening there several years ago, with a large group of about 30 people, with a pre-set menu on a Sunday afternoon and using the side dining room. I've enjoyed my meal there each time. I have found they are generally good in accomodating for a children's meal. I like the atmosphere and this is often a first choice when choosing a birthday or anniversary dinner. Writing this review makes me crave another visit!
