    The food was really good. Nothing exceptional but really good. My husband had the Boeuf Bourguignon and gave it a B+. I had the Strip Au Poivre and I was a little disappointed with the “green peppercorn sauce”. The sauce was not made with cream (which is usually the traditional way). The cookie on top of the Crème Brûlée was unnecessary and didn’t taste good. The dessert would have been better served with a strawberry on top and no cookie. Service was great and our waitress was very polite and pleasant. The best part of dinner was the ambiance. It is a beautiful building!

    This was a wonderful surprise and is why we like OpenTable. We were searching for a last-minute place to eat and went to OpenTable right away. It is always a great way to try a new restaurant without feeling like you are throwing darts at a board. Offcina did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. We were here the day after Christmas, so it was a light night for them, but the staff was attentive and provided the service you would expect at any top-notch restaurant. The Michelin rating is well deserved. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    We had a wonderful evening tonight at Julii. We ordered burrata, French onion soup, Alsatian tart and scallop crudo for appetizers. For mains we had the trout and the scallop risotto. Everything was excellent. The ambience was lovely, service was perfect - very attentive without being overbearing. Burrata is hard to mess up so of course that was great. The tart while good didn’t live up to the hype. It was still very enjoyable! It’s not so much of a tart as it truly is more of a flatbread pizza, but still very good. The trout was tasty and the scallop risotto was very nice. For me, the stand out dish was the scallop crudo -very bright and refreshing flavors. We had a great time and I would definitely come back again!
