Juliet

Cute little spot for mediocre food. There are reviews from BonAppetit and other food & wine magazines, without dates or sources. We ordered the Venezuelan pork sandwich and Juliet omelet, with 2 warm drinks. Omelet was cold and while it was cooked like a French omelet, it left a lot or be desired with seasoning. It was the same for the sandwich, which tasted like it was seasoned with only lime juice. You could do a lot better somewhere else. The bathroom was also smelled, which is to be expected, but it smelled like there was urine on the tiles.

Juliet has been a delicious and wonderful place for eating since I moved to the area several years ago. I love to come here with groups of friends, family, and solo. I'm currently making my way through their brunch menu but their lunch and dinner menus are also fun to try out. I think the reason I love coming back here is because of the amazing atmosphere. The servers are always thoughtful, kind, and helpful. And the other guests have always been equally nice. I can't wait for all the future meals I'll get to have here.

I had a 7:15 reservation and we weren’t seated until around 7:30, which is understandable for a busy Saturday. The real issue was the service once we were seated. Our server walked past us several times without greeting us. The manager ended up taking our appetizer and drink order. When the server finally stopped at the table next to us, I asked if she was ours and she said yes — and that she would come over after cleaning that table. When my boyfriend asked questions about the menu, she didn’t seem to know much. She said she was new and acknowledged she “should know these things,” which I appreciated — but even for someone new, the rule of thumb in service is to greet your table within the first minute, no matter how busy or overwhelmed you are. I’ve been in the service industry for 15 y

I finally made it to Juliet in Union Square, Somerville — and it was such a treat. The atmosphere is playful and welcoming, and the food is fresh, beautifully presented, and unlike anything else I’ve tried in the Boston area. My favorites were the salmon entrée and the gazpacho. I’ll definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu!

- We enjoyed the mussels/fries and the elote risotto. The menu is interesting and more of a fusion/inspired menu of different cultures (French, Italian, Mexican) - Friendly and attentive service - 20 percent service fee added to bill. They explain it as a distribution to the staff evenly. I just feel the negative attention it draws can’t possibly be worth it. I would tip for good service as I’m sure most who come here would as well
