   Wonderful experience. Our first time visiting this restaurant. Service was excellent. Bison meatballs and baked clams as appetizers were delicious. Rib eye steak and short rib ragu was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Desserts were excellent as well. One suggestion - our waitress saw me using my phone for light. She brought me a little lamp. It was wonderful and suggest having at all tables since it was a little dark in some areas of the restaurant. I shared it with the couple at the next table so they could see their dessert. lol! Ambiance is definitely warm and cozy feeling. Good for date nights. But a little loud.

   Fantastic meal and superb service! What a cozy place! And decorated for Christmas, it was so warm and inviting. Everyone had seafood and it was impeccably done. We're an hour away but I would definitely come back again. Thanks so much for a memorable evening!

   Excellent chicken martini! Crème brûlée and bread pudding were a perfect way to end the evening. Service was top notch.

   This restaurant in addition to providing excellent food is a gem. It's theme is the American novel of the mid 20C with many lovely examples of books and their covers lining the walls. The staff are really helpful, the bar area makes for another dining venue too. Well worth a revisit.

   Great night out with old friends, food and service were on point, we love all of Julian’s restaurants and the newest one “The Basement” is no exception. Thank you for a memorable evening.

   Wow! The food and drinks were amazing. If I could ask for one thing… the Xmas decor was spot on. Add a few themed drinks and desserts. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Can’t wait to return, had an amazing experience here. Food was delicious and ambiance was great. Perfect place for date night, make sure to make a reservation, it gets busy.
