Morgan's Bar & Lounge

The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and the portions were generous. Our waiter Hans was superb, attentive, never rushed us and added to the enjoyment of our experience at Julia's restaurant. Also the glass of red wine we ordered was a generous pour.

a beautiful space in a historic building, with tables further apart than any restaurant I know, so you can easily have a conversation, good food with attention to detail,; a pleasure.

5 star all around for service, ambiance and deliciousness! Felt like we walked into a hidden world just steps from Cal campus. Portions were larger than we expected for French meal. Dinner and dessert hit all the right spots.

Julia's is serving lunch on Thursdays during the Summer on an outdoor patio. It is just lovely. the food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the setting could not be more charming. All in all, it's a winner!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Incredible. Have been a devoted fan for many years, but whoever the 'new' chef is (as of a year or 2 ago?) has hit their stride BIGTIME. I felt like we were at Daniel Boulud's in NYC! I say this because the presentation is phenomenal and the composition of ingredients are stellar. Just a superb dinner with awesome service and the gorgeous ambiance of Julia Morgan's 'Little Castle"s decor. Such a completely unique and special place. We are so spoiled to have this right in our town of Berkeley!

This restaurant is unique on several levels. The historic building in the middle of Berkeley is worth a visit in its own right. The restaurant setting I think of "retro" in a good sense; nostalgic romance. The menu is broad and the wine list is compact but offers value for any pocketbook size. My Ahi Tuna was good but under a boring crust and sides. My friend's pork was good, but the presentation was lost in the 1970s. A high point was the house-baked dinner rolls, you wanted to put a couple of them in your pocket to take home. The service was good; our waiter was a friendly student with good intentions. The house provided a very nice birthday dessert. Would we return? Yes, with the right group of friends.

The food is not good enough for the price of the dishes. The best part was the butter with dinner rolls which was the free dish. The host wasn't super friendly. While our server was very nice.

I love going to Julia's. The room is so lovely. It's inside the Berkeley City Club that was designed by the architect Julia Morgan. The service is excellent and the room is quiet enough that you can hear the conversations of your table mates. The food is good but you expect great to match the beauty of the room. After your meal be sure and walk around the first floor to see the other rooms, especially the pool and the garden.

Dining at Julia's is always a wonderful and memorable experience. I have had the pleasure many times, most recently in August 2024. The food was delicious and visually appealing and the service was warm, friendly and quick without feeling rushed. Tony took care of us on two recent visits and I appreciated his skillful and timely handling of our orders and requests! The food was hot and the drinks were cold and the diners were very happy! All of this took place at the visually stunning Berkeley City Club which I think is one of the most charming venues in the San Francisco Bay area! You owe it to yourself to make at least one visit to this architectural masterpiece. Hats off to the servers and management of Julia's! I can't wait for our next visit.

Urban picnic is not my favorite. The food is good, but the service and ambiance falls off. So , go for lunch any day but Thursdays and enjoy the food in the beauty of the dining room with a full staff.

Enjoyed our entrees and was somewhat surprised that they were different from the last time we ate there. I assume that there is a new chef. Always a quiet and sophisticated place to dine. A tribute to Julia Morgan's architecture.

We got lucky and had reservations for the first day that lunch was served on the patio. It was a hot day and so was delightful to be outside. The food was great, and the ambiance was lovely. The waitress had to trek a fair distance between the kitchen and the dining area, and ultimately it took us awhile to pay because she was in a different area than where the dining occurred. Other than that little glitch, it was a perfect afternoon.

A gem. Beautiful, relaxing dining room. Very solicitous and friendly staff. The food was delicious. One of my dinner companions kept repeating “I love this place”. We will certainly be back!

I wasn't feeling well and could hardly eat. I was so disappointed because the food is so fantastic. I had a white bean and avocado sandwich which I had to take home but ate for dinner. My friend had a steak and she said it was amazing! Our waitress was very attentive even though she had all the tables by herself. I have gone here for years and a dream would be to live there! I love this place so much !!!

We had a wonderful dinner at Julia's. From the French onion soup to the duck and tuna, everything was delicious. Our server was very warm and friendly. We would definitely go back.
