Bar Juillet is such an Ashland gem! I love the laid back family style eating, unique wine selection, and fun atmosphere. The seasonal, local menu is always playful, fresh, and delicious. From Manila clams to summer scallops to house-made pasta, the menu keeps me excited. The cocktails never miss and the staff feels like family. Perfect place to have a luxurious meal with friends or family by the creek.

Wonderful food, herbed eggs are the best in town. Service can be a bit slow.

It took 20 minutes to receive our drinks, and it wasn’t busy. Then, as they choose to “bring the food out whenever it’s ready”, I watched my date eat her salad, then she watched me eat mine, then I watched her eat her eat her entree….. it was ridiculous! She was done with her meal before I got my entree. Booooo!

I did have the best gin and tonic of my life here. But everything was super salty and inexplicably had fish sauce on it. Service was excellent. Burger buns were stale. Fried chicken was weird, tasted like it marinated in soy milk?? Pasta was good. Fries aggressively average. Drinks were amazing. I wouldn’t go outside happy hour.

Brace yourself for a conflicted food review. Bar Juliet is a well-known and revered spot for locals. Historically I have enjoyed their outstanding cocktails, but find their food overhyped. I often roll my eyes and accompany friends for dinner. Indeed, if you glance at the menu, you’ll find their basic spaghetti dish listed for $36 and their house salad runs for $25. Other classic plates (steak, halibut) run at about $40, but the portion size of these dishes doesn’t match the typical fine dining restaurant. Their kitchen sort of runs on-the-fly and so you are expected to order several dishes to share, which come out at their own pace. My qualm is you end up eating like you’re at a tapas spot all the while paying full fine-dining price for each plate.
Nevermind the economics lesson, let’s talk food. We started with the charcuterie board which was one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Lots of bold flavors and textures between the cheeses and meats. The focaccia bread was also fresh, airy, and excellent. I would actually recommend getting this even if you’re going out just for drinks. The peach-flavored old fashioned was a hit, and we also tried a potent lavender cocktail which was super unique.
The main dishes we got were well-executed. The steak was a petite filet that was superbly tender accompanied by a red pepper sauce. Small portion with a light salad, but delicious. The burger was very rich and had the density of a dying sun (just look at the cross-section!). Contrary to what you may think, this is a dish to cut up and share.
On this night, service was an issue—my poor friend’s main entree was forgotten. He ordered a burger for himself and we waited for the kitchen to roll it out and it just never came. I was prepared to give the place 4 stars and warn you to just go during happy hour, but will have to stop short at 3. Generally focus on the delicious cocktails and expect a few bites of good food here or there.

Outstanding! We were visiting from California and went here based off of a local friend's recommendation. We eat all organic at home and try to find that when we are traveling. Everything was absolutely delicious but I must admit my favorite was the fried Chicken. It was out of this world!! So juicy and the breading was like dessert. We shared the peas, little gem salad, shrimp, burrata, fish, Chicken and steak. It was the right move to share because it was all fantastic. Our cocktails were great as well!

We went for happy hour and were super happy with all the dishes and the cocktails. We got the fried chicken, beet salad, kale Cesar salad, and the rigatoni. All were good but the rigatoni and beet salad were my favorite!
