I’m obsessed with Juliet. The vibes in there are so welcoming and cute, and the service is amazing. The only thing i wish was different was that their food portions could be a bit bigger/more filling. I also found their chai latte to not be sweet enough, but they have a lot of options for syrups to add

The bacon and papas Bravas were very good. The eggs were interesting - The smoked salmon was very light, but they had lemon zest on them, which was a bit too overpowering in my opinion. Prices were pretty decent.

This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. Some of the menu is fungible , but what they do really well is authentic southern French plates that you will not find in other places around Boston. For example, the aïoli Garni!! The Niçoise salad, for which I believe they make their own tuna conserva! They also do a beautiful, perfect, authentic Croque Madame, and their French sauces are on point. We come here when craving that French bistro experience. Thumbs up from my French SO!! Also their themed menus are always interesting.

Very cozy inviting space, good lighting, not loud. The menu is French/Italian - authentic and delicious. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Cute little spot for mediocre food. There are reviews from BonAppetit and other food & wine magazines, without dates or sources.
We ordered the Venezuelan pork sandwich and Juliet omelet, with 2 warm drinks. Omelet was cold and while it was cooked like a French omelet, it left a lot or be desired with seasoning. It was the same for the sandwich, which tasted like it was seasoned with only lime juice.
You could do a lot better somewhere else. The bathroom was also smelled, which is to be expected, but it smelled like there was urine on the tiles.

We came for a nice dinner for my partner's birthday. We had a very pleasant experience, but left a little disappointed in the food quality.

Positives: really wonderful service including a personable attentive server and they split our entree for us on two plates which was great, the gnocchi with browned butter and lemon was mind blowing, the cocktails were delicious and well balanced

Negatives: the focaccia in the appetizer was dry and while the topping was delicious it wasn't that appealing which was a bummer as I love focaccia, the cake we ordered on our server's recommendation was mediocre, just not that impressive in texture or flavor, the lighting was super bright and didn't feel intimate or cozy as I'd hope for a dinner

everything else was totally fine (other appetizer, entree, espresso)

Juliet has been a favorite of ours for years, since they were in their old location. We just got back from the Venezuelan Christmas dinner, which was a great deal for the price with friendly and fast service. We also recently hosted a large family-style dinner at Juliet and had a great experience--it was cozy and quiet, and for very reasonable prices we had way more than enough food (so much so that four of us ate the leftovers for dinner the next day). We love having Juliet in the neighborhood and hope it stays another 10 years!

We are new to the neighborhood and had been dying to try our Juliet, per everyone’s recommendation. We made a reservation to celebrate, and upon our arrival it took an hour to meet our server, and another thirty minutes to receive our food. Steak frites were bland, we were very misled with the Jambon (it’s glorified diner ham), but the mussels and wine both were wonderful. There was little to no music, with a haphazard ambiance. We had really high hopes and sadly expectations were not met. Would return for wine or cocktail only.

Didn’t get to eat here - got here for bunch at 11:15 idn’t have a reservation at first so there was an hour wait. Was able to get a reservation via Amex 10 minutes out for 11:30 but they wouldn’t seat us, said “system should have let you”. On resy still showed several openings.

Service was great! Sadly the food was disappointing. I had the Benedict. The biscuit was dry, ham was nothing special, salad a bit wilted. I’m sad because I was hoping to find a local spot!

My partner and I ordered a few dishes to share. The French onion soup, risotto, and side salad were fine but not good. We also ordered the steak frites. The steak was bizarrely terrible: solidly on the medium side of medium-rare and weirdly... wet? Soggy? And very hard to chew. The best thing we had was the aioli to dip the fries in, but you have to pay $3 extra for aioli on top of the $45 price of the steak frites.
We didn't send it back because I would feel guilty about wasting food and honestly I didn't know how to articulate what was wrong with it, but I did end up saying something to to the host before we left and he refunded us for that dish. The people all seemed very friendly, but it was a very odd dinner.
