The best food I've found in Billings. This chef cares about quality, creativity, and presentation. A true pro. Unfortunately, I should warn you about the service. Our server had all the grace and finesse of a greasy spoon waitress, slinging hash. We walked up and heard someone holler, "Reservation?" The place was empty. Why not just seat us? We asked for a recommendation? "It's all good." She asked how we wanted our salmon prepared, "Medium Well?" When did salmon start getting served any other way but cooked? Then she served the salmon with steak knives. The day I need a steak knife for salmon is going to be a bad day. She's a pro server, but not in fine dining, which this place definitely is. It's too bad that as great as the food was, I can't give five stars.

Excellent food and loved eating out on the patio. One of my favorite restaurants anywhere.

A lovely old house that feels kind of Victorian on the inside (elaborate stamped tin ceilings, dark walls) with two rooms for dining, plus a patio that looked really nice but was too hot for me the night I went. Jazz (bebop) playing very softly. Smart, friendly servers. I asked questions about the wine list and my server proposed another wine that wasn’t on the menu but was perfect. (They also have beer, but not liquor.) When you sit down, they bring you nice crusty bread and – surprise – a couple of pieces of sushi! I’m not sure exactly what it was, probably a vegetable roll, but very tasty. The regular menu is very appealing, but the night I went, they had three fish specials, all of which sounded fabulous. I had one of them – yellowtail snapper crusted with Fritos and with a sauce of tart cherries. Delicious! The others were swordfish and albacore tuna, both tempting. All the entrees come with a salad. Nice greens; I opted for the cran-apple dressing, which TBH was kind of boring and too sweet. The snapper came with a cheddar risotto and some nice steamed vegetables. My only complaint is that they seemed to be in a big hurry to get me fed and out of there. The food didn’t arrive faster than I wanted, but when I was halfway through the entree, the server gave me a dessert menu. When I said I didn’t think I wanted dessert, she brought the check while I was still eating my entree. No “When you’re ready.” I did take my time finishing my wine and nobody rushed me, but it still seemed a little off. Still, I would absolutely go back there if I’m ever in Billings again.

We celebrated a very elegant 21st anniversary. This atmosphere was definitely out of our casual comfort zone but we enjoyed our experience here immensely. Set in an old colonial stable, this restaurant is very intimate. The dining rooms are quaint and small. There were only 5 or 6 tables in the room we were seated. Elegantly set tables, beautiful, enormous windows finely dressed, and I was enamored by the massive ornate fireplace set in the back of the room. Soft smooth jazz played in the background and the conversations of the other diners were barely audible at the lowest of murmurs. We couldn't help but nervously giggle whisper throughout our meal because the atmosphere felt so formal. It was kind of silly fun for us. SO MANY FORKS! lolWe were first served complimentary sushi after being seated. It didn't stand apart from any other sushi we've had but was very good. Next a warm, fresh baked loaf of bread accompanied with infused olive oil was brought to our table along with the wine list. The bread & oil were the only things we were slightly saddened over. The bread while perfectly baked, warm and so soft on the inside and thin, crispy, flaky crust, fell flat on flavor as did the infused oil. Honestly just tasted like plain olive oil. We did choose to order a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was fabulous. Next we were served an amazingly fresh and flavorful arugula salad, dressed with a roasted walnut and apple vinaigrette, and topped with crushed walnuts and apple slices. Another taste sensation. For starters we chose the softshell crab and alligator tail. Absolutely devine! I had never tried softshell crab and I was over the moon! The alligator tail was fantastic as well. Cooked perfectly, flaky and tender, tasted fantastic. For our main courses my husband chose the grilled shutome (sword fish) topped with a tomato, lemon butter and caper sauce. It was perfection. The mashed potatoes were surprising, literally the best we've ever had. They were creamy and fluffy and smooth all at once. The steamed vegetables were just that, no butter or seasoning to be noticed, but we're the perfect balance of tender and crisp. The purple coleslaw wasn't for us but only because we truly are not fans of any slaw. I had the veal and spinach cannelloni with sauteed mushrooms. The veal was shredded, tender and full flavored, the spinach was perfectly steamed, and the 5 cheese alfredo sauce was so rich and silky. I loved every bite. The sauteed mushrooms were delicious as well.Our server was very professional, attentive, efficient and informative. She was very adept at her craft and made us feel at ease. All the courses came out at an appropriate speed and for all the food we were served, and a bottle of wine our bill was just over $100 before tip which we found very reasonable.We left with a piece of key lime cheesecake to go. Later we shared in the hotel room. It was very very good.We definitely will keep this restaurant in mind the next time we celebrate a special occasion.

Wow! Great perfectly prepared fish flown in from Hawaii!!!! Plus served in the confines of an architecturally significant home.But like all U.S. urban areas plagued with druggies keep your eyes open.
The atmosphere and the experience was quit delightful,sitting next to the fireplace while it was snowing outside, the house was gorgeous.And the food was delicious if you are a true food connoisseur this is the place to go.

This is a very cozy restaurant, located inside of a former home. I both love and hate the layout of the restaurant for this reason. We were sested in a former bedroom upstairs, with 3 tables in the room. There was one other table occupied at the time. There is no music playing or background noise, and because of this, the room is very quiet, and you can hear every word another table says. In my opinion, this is not as romantic of a setting and not as personal for your tables' conversation.That being said, the food is among the best presented in billings. I ordered the swordfish, and my date got the quail. The food was very good and presented beautifully. The bread they serve with the table is so good, it is hard to save room for the meal! Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant, and I would love to see some music in there to boost the atmosphere, making it 5 stars all around.

I met cousins and an aunt for a 10 year lunch reunion here. Very nice garden lunch (outdoor seating worked great for COVID 19 restrictions). Service was really good. The food was good. I was raised in Billings and have been gone for decades and Billings has ALWAYS struggled with good places to eat. Juliano's has been there for years and offers a good meal in a nice atmosphere that Billings still struggles to achieve. This place is great for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, etc.

I moved away from Billings 8 years ago and many things have changed. Juliano's menu has changed but the food is every bit as good as it was. The staff is great and so is the atmosphere. I had the Hawaiian shrimp - it was wonderful!

Last night we joined 2 friends for Lamb Dinner here & ate a 5 course delicious meal with wine, expertly prepared by Chef Karl & staff & perfectly presented by professional, & personable wait staff. Our server was Vicky, whose experience & expertise can't be outdone. For 4 of us, we paid less than $150! My one regret is there were 13 no shows, most of whom did not bother to cancel their reservations...& there was a wait list that missed out due to thoughtless people, not to mention the loss to the entire staff who worked so hard to prepare & serve a truely fine dining experience. Shame on ALL of you who did not cancel or show up. We will continue to dine at Juliana's whenever we can & encourage anyone on the wait list to call in often or even show up a few minutes after 6 & you may be rewarded. Many thanks to all of you at Julianos on Dec 7 who worked so hard to present us such a special dining experience.
