Only downside to the experience was the dining room - there were no windows. It was seriously lacking ambience. We should have opted to eat outside - the weather was outstanding and the outdoor area looked very inviting.

After years of coming here this time actually brought me to tears the server was so unexpected and unnecessarily rude at then end of the meal unacceptable and derogatory comments to me in front of my family.
Juliet Italian Kitchen - Barton SpringsResponded 3 days ago
Kristen, we are so sorry that you were made to feel that way last night. Needless to say that type of behavior is completely unacceptable at Juliet and I'd like to assure you that we are taking this very seriously. Somebody on our management team should be reaching out to get more information from you. Again, I sincerely apologize for this and hope you'll trust that we will do everything we can to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

This was my first time here. Celebrating a birthday dinner with some girlfriends. Our waiter was super positive, Friendly, upbeat and got along with us so well. He suggested great things on the menu and always made sure we were taken care of & topped off. This was an amazing first time experience and I will come back and recommend it to everyone. I would love to try it again but dine outside (it was a tad cold and rainy for that) but this place looks like the vibe would be wonderful at a good time of year.

We booked an early reservation because of later plans and were pleasantly surprised with their happy hour prices including half price bottles of wine. My only comment- even with a reservation we were sat in the bar area. Our bartender was really nice but got busy and took a bit to get our dinner order. We were concerned about getting out in time so didn’t have time for dessert. We will definitely go back!
Juliet Italian Kitchen - Barton SpringsResponded 6 days ago
Kirsten, thank you for this lovely review! We're sorry you were disappointed by being sat in the bar area. We always do our best to communicate to our reservations as to whether they're booked for a high-top or standard seating and sincerely apologize that this information wasn't relayed to you. Also for of course being unable to enjoy a dessert; the last thing we want is to have our guests feel rushed in anyway so I've put a note on your account that will make sure you get a dessert on us during your next visit. Thank you again and we look forward to having you back soon!

Super lovely food and experience , but the hostess felt the need to remind us at 5:30 that the next reservation was at 8:30. That was 3 hours later and didn’t really need to feel rushed the minute we walked in door.
Juliet Italian Kitchen - Barton SpringsResponded today
Kate, we're very sorry you were put off by the host's comment as you were being sat. It is policy, no matter how long or short the time may be, to inform all of our guests of any following reservations simply so they're not surprised later in the meal to find out about a time-table. It is always our goal to have the hosts express this as warmly and welcoming as possible so we're again sorry this clearly wasn't the case during your visit. The last thing we want is for our guests to feel rushed. Beyond that, we are very happy to hear that the overall experience was not diminished by this initial interaction and thank you for your kind words. Thank you again and we hope to have you back soon!

My wife and I went to Juliet last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. They comped us a couple of glasses of Prosecco to start out, and we both ordered the scallops in orzo and a shared side of Brussels sprouts. Everything was excellent.
