A friend of mine treated me to lunch at Juliet Italian Kitchen for my birthday. I had been there before, but it was some time ago and it was my friend’s first visit. The service was excellent. The food was very delicious and the portions are generous. The drinks were yummy!

Food was great and delivered quickly considering everything is made from scratch. The server was awesome. I wish I caught her name but she made our night with a little gelato on the house. 10/10 would return

We were there during Happy hour before a show: - half off bottle sparkling - good value - snack menu was also good but they were out of the fried ravioli at 5:30pm. We got fried zucchini. & meatballs on the other menu. The hostess knew we wanted to stay in the shade on the patio. Should have just seated us at the 4 tops along the inside the porch instead of the 2 tops on the outside edge. We ended up asking to move because we were in full sun after about 30 mins. The first server (passing by) we asked to maybe lower the shade or move to another table was snarky about it (basically that's just way the sun goes - I can't help you); luckily our actual server was helpful and asked the hostess, then helped move us to a 4 top in the shade. Very thankful!
Juliet Italian Kitchen - Barton SpringsResponded on October 22, 2024
Alice, thank you for this very fair and honest review! We are always striving to find ways to improve as a company and help our staff improve as well. Rest assured, the response you received from the first server is not the Juliet standard and we have already addressed this with them. Thank you again and we hope to have you back soon!

Food quality has gone down hill over the years and it feels less elegant than previously with the plastic covered menus and lots of plastic special displays on the tables. It was also extremely warm in the building and the lighting was a little harsh in the area we ate in the room to the right of the hostess stand. The hostess stand also felt little messy. The staff was very nice though and we had great service.
Juliet Italian Kitchen - Barton SpringsResponded on October 4, 2024
Chelsia, we are very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy yourself during your last visit. If you have any specific issues with the food please don't hesitate to reach out and share them with us as we are always striving to improve in any way possible. That being said, we do appreciate you giving a positive mention to our staff and the service you received. Again, we are sorry that you were disappointed and hope to hear back from you so we can continue to improve as a company. Thank you.
