Wow. So damn good. Also they pay their workers a living wage! Really cool to see that. I had the braised lamb, coffee, and orange juice for $32. Sounds expensive but it tasted expensive haha. I feel perfectly priced.The design inside is really cute with the ability to see right into the kitchen where everything is being prepped.The bread was airy, fluffy, and fresh. The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned and mixed in with potatoes, breakfast hash style. Eggs cooked perfectly. Nice fresh salad on the side.The black coffee was so good! I forgot to ask the brand. Wanted to buy the beans myself.It is a long wait. I waited 40 minutes just to sit 1. But I am not bothered by that at all now with how damn good this food was.The staff were very busy but very polite and when they had a chance to give you their attention it was undivided.Great work! Will come again next time I’m in Boston.

Delicious good with lots of attention to detail. Is a small cafe with an open kitchen concept for a very homey feel. I loved the chicken hash and my partner and her mom really enjoyed the veggie hash and mushroom omelette. All came with delicious fresh baked bread. I thoroughly enjoyed my Autumn spiced latte.

We have been wanting to check out Juliet for quite some time, so we were thrilled to see they had opened back up for in house dining. Now we can say we know what all the hype is about!We had an amazing experience dining at Juliet to celebrate my birthday and our last night in Boston before moving to North Carolina - special thank you to the staff for squeezing us in before we took off!We went in for the multi course menu production, Marseille March, and were absolutely blown away by every single dish we had placed in front of us. The service was fantastic, the presentation was amazing, and the food was to die for! We loved getting to hear the story behind each dish and how the dishes for each course were selected. It was a super exciting dining experience having each dish be a little bit of a surprise, and very cool to watch the branzino prepared table side. We loved the open kitchen concept and getting to peek at our food as it was being prepared. We felt like it was perfectly portioned too, enough to fill my fiancé who has a very healthy appetite.The perfect place for a more intimate dinner and celebrating a special occasion. Can’t say enough wonderful things!

Quaint spot with original dishes. The salads were amazing!

So delicious! Definitely a special treat during the pandemic.

I went around lunchtime and it was pleasant and not crowded. I liked the small portions. The breakfast taco is delicious. I also had the warm olives appetizer and it wasnt as awesome as I thought it would be because it wasnt actually warm, just room temperature. The service was great. Ill definitely be going back.

I expected much better from this restaurant. Some dishes were amazing and some I was like, why are you serving me a raw potato? They did give you hefty wine servings though which almost made it worth it. Still very cheap by Michelin restaurant standards and hence would go back to enjoy

Has too much hype in my opinion. Service was really slow, we were waiting for 20 to 30 minutes in between each dish. The dishes dont seem to excite the palette and is very simple. If you were to get the courses I would recommend just getting the 3 course. The 5 course does not add too much

The best dinner I have ever had in 2019 so far. Juliet, you deserve every single accolade from paying fair wages to serving a delicious meal. Thank you for sharing your love and joy with us.

Really cute place, we went for lunch on the weekend and food was really good! The chilaquiles were outstanding, highly recommend that dish. Everything we had tasted delicious and we will be going back for dinner.

Incredible food. The beet-heavy dish was a little too much beet, but overall great prix fixe menu. Good atmosphere. Would recommend!

Great food, creative dishes, and the staff are very warm and friendly.

I really enjoyed this place. We were in Boston for a wedding, and wanted to have a nice brunch the morning of. We found this place while exploring on Google, and it sounded nice.It was the perfect choice. It was in a cute little neighborhood and had a very homey feel. It was a smaller establishment, but I think it was good for the feel of the restaurant.This place is a tip free establishment, which is really cool. The servers get paid an established wage, but the prices of the food dont seem to reflect it. They were friendly and easy going.We started with a bloody Mary, which was delicious, and we ordered the Riviera sandwich and breakfast burger with a fried egg. Both items came with a small salad and some potatoes. The potatoes were different, but pretty good. They had dill and some mustard or horseradish. We also had a ginger molasses cookie and a cranberry cream cheese coffee cake. The whole meal was delicious, and I would recommend it to a friend. Hopefully, someday I can go back and try some other items.

Juliet makes wonderful food, and I particularly loved their deserts (or maybe theyre better called snacks, or treats). I ordered the burger, with an egg, and loved every bite. The bloody mary was delicious as well. But my favorite was the ginger molasses bar. It was super good. One unfortunate thing about eating at Juliet is that its rather small.

Every menu is fantastic and inspired, and everyone involved clearly shows how excited they are for you to be sharing in the experience.

Pleasant ambiance, tasty food. Breakfast portions arent huge but more than make up for it in flavor. We also ordered the bratwurst in the picture, which was delicious

Limited menue at the moment but delicious homemade food and fantastic service. A special treat 😋

Very elegant brunch spot in Union square! I loved the cute cup & saucers that came with the coffee. You don’t have to tip because service is included in the price. They also have a unique menu which is interesting and fun!

Sat outside on the patio for the best brunch weve had since the start of the pandemic. Everyone is always very kind here and Im happy to report that they have the outdoor tables spaced out well in a really cute spot a couple storefronts down from the restaurant. We have been taking pandemic precautions very seriously and still felt completely safe dining at Juliet today. Food is as good as ever!!

Amazing atmosphere. Love the coffee. Great service everyone is so nice. Congratulations guys. A+++

Amazing service, delightful food, fun atmosphere. Plus no tipping because they pay livable wages and give quarterly to staff!

Had a great dinner outside on their patio. They had heat lamps to help us stay cozy and took great care by distancing tables due to covid. The chicken and dumpling soup was amazing! We had pasta dishes for our mains and they were both comforting and a decent portion. Good drinks, very friendly service, and I like that they support local female artists. After dinner we were gifted scones to enjoy for breakfast the next day. That was a really sweet touch. We will be back!

There are not words to describe this place or this food. I was getting sad as our courses were coming to an end because I never wanted it to end. The owner is a wonderful human who deeply cares about every aspect of the restaurant will definitely be going back again!

Juliet restores my faith in humanity

If you are in Boston and like fine dining devoid of superficiality, do check out Juliet.This is how neighborhood restaurants should be. The European style gratuity-free, open kitchen restaurant is an exquisite eating and visual experience.Owner Katrina Jazayeri told me a little about her ethos, dining at Juliet is a bit like attending a dinner party: the walls are adorned with genuinely used cookbooks and copper pans. Jovial, uncanned conversation occurs here amongst the staff. I was able to talk with the chefs as they cooked which is always a treat.Juliet seemingly punctures through the proverbial orbit that is every pedestrian hipster restaurant that lately many of us are starting to grow weary of. It doesnt feel condescending, pretentious, nor resting on its laurels; but rather quietly fanatical about the food and hospitality. Bravo!

Good high tea.

In a time where flashy yet forgettable eateries replace long lasting restaurants that maintained unique personalities, Juliet stands apart bringing a distinct flavor of its own.Not only is the food excellent and imaginative here but the knowledge that the staff is paid well and that tipping is unnecessary makes for a satisfying experience.The image here is an exceptionally made Old Fashioned.

I want to like this place - their food is good and the staff are friendly. But there are two problems with this place.The portions: I ordered a $12 frittata on toast and received a side-plate sized serving of two small pieces of bread with a small cut of frittata on top of each - with a small salad taking up the other half of the small plate. This is not only too small for the price but completely unsatisfying as a meal. I left hungry.The odor: There is a kitchen grease smell permeating throughout this place. You can smell it as soon as you get in the door. But wait until you get home. The smell has embedded itself into every single layer of clothing I wore into Juliet. I left smelly.If this place gets bigger plates or lowers the price of their small ones, and also gets an extractor fan, Id say check it out.Until then, Id recommend staying away.

Unique experience in a unique place. Small breakfast menu but interesting options and memorable presentation.

Awesome atmosphere, delicious food. Feels very homey.

Brunch was delicious!!! And I high recommend the bloody Mary, however, make sure to order it with Gin, rather than vodka. Youll thank me later! Enjoy!

We knew Juliet is highly regarded and now weve experienced their imaginative, wonderfully prepared food transcending the challenges of pandemic takeout: inventive, delicious salads and soup, a great risotto, superb pasta, scrumptious little cake—well be back often.

Lovely place and excellent service. I liked how they arranged the patio post-Covid. But, overall, I guess we expected more: brunch is only OK, smallish and simple dishes.

The best scone I have had in years!!!!

Their weekend brunch is great, but its mostly just egg-focused menu items (and I kinda wish they had avocado on the menu!)

Great service!

I love to stop in here for an iced tea after the farmers market. Everyone there is so friendly and it always smells incredible - can’t wait to stop by for dinner sometime.

So so good and so unexpected! You know when you hear oh this place is amazing but then you go and your expectations are not met? Well, not the case with Juliet! The food was fantastic and the pastries... I can have them every day. The Earl Grey Chocolate Chip Scoone,s is just heaven. I loved it because I had the Chocolate Tahini Toast and if you like chocolate, please please order it. Good price! They have a lovely patio that has been accommodated due to COVID and it gives a great atmosphere. Will def be back!

The food was incredible. The lobster bisque was so delicious and soul warming it cured my depression.

This is probably my favorite place to dine in Union Square. Fantastic local food, great customer service, and a brilliant chef. No tipping because they pay their staff a living wage. Their food is outstanding and the environment is warm and inviting. 10/10 recommended for date-night and showing off local food to close friends and family.

Dining at Juliet is not a low key experience, but the people running it are sweethearts and the food is pretty great. I would argue their adherence to the seasonal theme is a bit rigid but it is inspired food. Highly recommend wine pairings. I went as one of two couples and it was really fun. Unlike other multicourse productions the meal was suitability filling and not overly cerebral. Nice energy but Id turn the lights down a touch.

The food was great. I really like that the tip is included in the price, other places should follow this.This restaurant just has become my favourite for brunch. Excited to come here for dinner too.

I regularly arrive purchasing some food here. I love the fast customer service and well made food. Great work.

The breakfast I had here was really good. We tried the honey toast and the breakfast tacos. Both were delicious and I want to come back to try the other options.

Such a great spot.

Dining here is a massive Hug for the body and the soul. The food is just perfect. Cooked to perfection with a delicacy that only comes from love and experience, it is a pleasure and a joy to eat. There is a calm and peaceful atmosphere, despite the central kitchen. All members of the team treat you like their favorite guest in their own home.What more can you say!

Always a great experience at Juliet. Whether it is their new and inventive ways of interacting with their customers during the pandemic ( at home meal.kits, at home virtual cooking classes, murder mysteries, wine club, crossword puzzles, etc ) or just them making sure to work well with my dietary issues ( gluten sensitivity ). I can always count on Juliet to make it tasty and memorable.

Excellent brunch location. Inexpensive, fresh and unique offerings. The french toast with stewed apples was quite good, as well as the eggs benedict. Wish there was a place like this on Long Island!

Nice place, good food and very friendly staff! Street parking available and easy to find. We tried crepes and burger. Definitely recommend

Everything was bland and way too oily. From the cheese board that came with bread dripping oil to the risotto that left a thick oil patch at the bottom of the plate. I only ate half the food and left. The bland roasted potato side that came with my girlfriends overcooked well-done burger was the best part of the meal.They make a big production about dinner but at the end of the day you can get better food anywhere in Boston.

Perfect in every way! Every meal has been outstanding. It’s a delight to experience the care that goes into each ingredient as well as into the beautiful setting and equitable business model. Hoping more restaurants follow this shining example of sustainability and creativity... and proud that Juliet is in Somerville!

Amazing, inventive, and healthy menu. Some of the best cuisine to be had in all of Boston. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Don’t listen to other reviews about service. You will definitely not be disappointed. I’m just sorry I did not discover this amazing place sooner. Better late, than never...

Delicious breakfast (Earl grey chocolate scone is out of this world) and a super fresh and unique experience for tasting menu dinner. Highly recommend supporting this business that supports and values their workers is creative and unique ways. AND prepares and sources their food with love and care. Lots of ands!

Wonderful small restaurant, excellent food and service; prix fixe offering good wine pairing selections. Interesting non alcoholic beverages as well. Great for celebrations.

The breakfast offerings tend to be a little weaker in my opinion than their lunch and dinner offerings. However the service he has always been excellent and I believe in everything they stand for. Overall a solid place to have a great meal or just a coffee

Its impressive the quality and the variety of food they can make on three hot plates and without any source of fire in the kitchen. Some of the most interesting food in Sommerville is found here. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is great for a casual meal to a romantic dinner overlooking the kitchen.

This is one of my favorite places in Union Square. Ive only been for breakfast, but the food is outstanding. The actual restaurant is super cool, and you watch them make the food, its like being in your own kitchen, in a good way!

The food is reasonably good, pretty pricey, but the service is awful. I just waited 45 minutes for a chilled soup and an omelette. There were only 4 other customers in the place and 4 people in the kitchen. I probably could have cooked and served the meals faster myself. This was at lunch time, not sure how dinner is.

Great place. Its awesome to have an open kitchen, and people are very nice.However, the price is too much. $10 for a toast with cream cheese and tomatoes is way higher than I want to pay for.Dont think I will go back there unless they reduce the price ($5 might be ok for that)

I have been here many times since they opened and have always been impressed. Usually it is just for coffee which hot or iced is some of the best in the Boston area. I have also sat down for breakfast a couple times and they always have unique, well thought-out, and delicious menu items.

Cozy place. Smoked salmon Benedict was pretty good for brunch. Relatively small portion for that dish

Juliet opened a couple of weeks ago so they are still up and coming. I went for the first time today for brunch. The menu doesnt have a variety, its very limited. No one has a set position, everyone is doing everything. They accidentally brought us 2 coffees because 2 separate people brought our order. They brought the food for the table next to us, but there was no one there and it was an accidental order I guess. The location is great, with ample street parking, the staff is nice. Everyone needs to have their set roles and know what it entails. Its a bit chaotic not, but I think it will fix up after they get up to speed. I will go back in a couple of months because I see it as having a potential for great breakfast, lunch, and brunch.

Tried the brunch with 4 people. Wait time was supposed to be 30 min, you it took an hour. The table we were seated at had stuff empty for 10+ min before we were seated.Menu looked interesting, food was ok. Pastry was better. Not worth 60minute wait.

Food was lovely but not spectacular. They seem to be going through some staffing issues, which resulted in a bit longer wait. It was great to get coffee and pastries while we waited, though!

Its very possible that Juliet saved my life. I came in on a Saturday morning with perhaps the worst hangover of my life, I ordered the brunch risotto and by the time I had finished it I was alive again. The staff is very friendly, the food is amazing and Rachel their head cook is an angel sent from above to save me from my sins. I would give them more stars if that were an option.

This place is phenomenal!!!!! We celebrated our anniversary here - incredible food, perfect wine pairings, and fantastic service. Definitely check this place out!

I shared a birthday dinner here with my wife and it was all around a very pleasant experience. Juliet is a breath of fresh air in the fine dining scene in Boston. They strive themselves on treating their staff fairly as is exemplified in the way they compensate. They do not accept tips and pay accordingly. They do community outreach such as pay what you can evenings. In addition the food is phenomenal with great attention to detail in a lower key environment that doesnt try to present itself as anything other than what it is. If only Union Square itself was as well put together as Juliet is (currently under construction).

Love it, good breakfast place.

Great food and wine, friendly service, wonderful experience. The reservation system is different in that - unless you sit at the bar for the a la carte menu - you pay in advance for a fixed menu, curated around a particular theme. The week we went it was the cooking of Lyon. We liked the experience of looking forward to what that might be. It made it more of a special event than just going out for a meal

Went there for Sunday brunch. Decent food. Great service.

Great atmosphere. Limited menu. Toast was surprisingly filling and tasty but seemed overpriced. Breakfast tacos were too small and nothing special. Still, I liked it enough Id go back to try the lunch menu.

Simply the best. Katrina and Josh have impeccable taste for their food, the drink, and the atmosphere. Easily our favorite spot in Union Square.

We went for brunch. The food is simple, but great, and I appreciate that the tip is already included in the price. Expect a 45-minute wait on Sunday, though we were told 20-30.

Second to none, best food Ive ever eaten.

Very nice place for brunch. The menu is quite simple for brunch but the food is great. The staff is friendly. I like the fact that the tip is included in the prices.

Portions are a little small for my taste, but great food. We went for brunch, and it was a good interesting selection. The coffee cake is addictive!!

Very bad customer service. I am unable to comment on the food quality as I was unable to eat any!! I had booked 3 tables for a party of 13 for my husbands birthday brunch. I had checked out the menu and everyone in our party was excited about the brunch. Once we got there, there was a whole new menu with about 4 items on it and stuff that was really basic like soft boiled eggs and toast with different toppings.What was surprising is that even though I was on the phone with the hostess trying to get the seating arrangements done, she never even thought to mention that they were running a different very limited menu! I asked if they could at least make us some omelets, or even hard boiled eggs and all they could say was no. At such short notice we scrambled to find another restaurant nearby that could accommodate such a big party and decided to leave. The staff at Juliet did not even apologize for the confusion and lack of communication. The food here might have been good, but I wont ever go back with such rude customer service.

The most welcoming staff! The omelette was delicious, and the environment was all around amazing!

Perfect decor & polite staff. The omelette and quinoa bowls were delicious, but the yogurt was not so good. Could be a five if the timing was better!

I love good food and take my friends and family out once a week. This is my first bad review. I ordered the Prime Rib-french dip sandwich. It came with three lumps of old meat, smelled and looked like it has been in the frig for 3 days. The toast was good. At $16, I expected to have fresh beef. I am so disappointed.

Just opened days ago, only been here once, but wonderful. Sandwich, salad, coffee, all great.Disposable items all labeled compostable, which tells you something.Oh, and the $8 sandwich cost $8. Exactly. Tax included in the price. Fun.Very pleasant place to eat in, or take out.

Had a lovely breakfast here. It feels like an oasis inside. The food is prepared with care and I know that because I watched it. Also fair wages so no tips. ❤️

Amazing! Wonderful staff. Love the business model of giving all staff fair wage and benefits

This place has a cute French bistro setting with an open kitchen. We went here for brunch as a group of six early on a Saturday morning, and got seated immediately. The food looked spectacular and tasted good too. The portion size however, seemed unexpectedly small, when the food arrived but I found it to be just right - I didnt need to collapse into bed after brunch :) we ordered the Mushroom and gruyere cheese omelette, the salmon toast, the egg sandwich among other things.

Loved the Catalonian menu. Will definitely return for their next menu!

This is the place you dream of strolling into on a lazy morning - warm or cold - and spending an hour or two with good company (friends or a book). Cozy, chic, vaguely rustic affect with a focus on simply, yet deliciously prepared food. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich, the breakfast poboy, and any of the baked goods. Very much looking forward to returning for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the near future.

Good food, and a living wage for the workers, so tip is included.

Great, great coffee. Love their interior, such a nice atmosphere. Creds for not encouraging tipping. My expectations regarding the food were pretty high, so I have to admit I got a little bit disappointed. It suffers from lack of taste, as most american food. But on the other side, it is way better than most places.

I wanted to like Juliet given it’s good reviews and charming atmosphere, but the food wasn’t up to par. I had the J-1 sandwich, which is an egg sandwich on a steakhouse roll. I was expecting a lot more of the roll, like a nice dinner roll, but it was very mediocre. The sandwhich was small and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The coffee was drinkable but not very good. The saving grace was the carmelized grapefruit I ordered on the side, not something you find often and it was done well, but I don’t think I’d go back for it.

Creative dishes born from passionate research and time investment. The most delicious food Ive ever tasted.

Great atmosphere and great wine variety

Good food, very friendly staff. Even thoug we were a bit early, they still opened the kitchen for us to have a warm breakfast! We took Some Texas breakfast taco’s with us for my sister to eat, and even those were Great! If I am ever in sommerville again, I would definitly go again

Tried Pesto omlet, rench toast. Their maple syrup is true love.

Brilliant restaurant. The food is creative, delicious, and interesting. The staff is poised and sensitive.

Food sounds delicious on the menu, but very bland in reality. Came here for brunch and sandwich was mostly bread— minimal use of ingredients. Price did not reflect quality.

Brunch was a solid 3/5.I had the New Orleans eggs benedict, it was made with shrimp. About 4 medium shrimp in total but honestly I dont think it would have mattered how many shrimp there was because shrimp eggs benedict just doesnt make sense in the first place.Not sure where all the hype is coming from but staff was great, willing to explore their dinner menu.

Nice decorations and food. Had a lobster roll and it tastes very fresh and chewy. Very clean and neat settings.

The food tastes great and I love the fact that they include tips in the price. I would have liked a little more food for the cost, but its not too bad when you consider the quality and the fact that you dont need to tip.

Great idea but I feel for the price and the idea of fine dining the food was bland, and lacked substance/texture.We had a 3 course meal with wine pairing. The cold soup/noodles was ok but no real taste just sort of cold noodles with not much texture. The main was monk fish with rice. The fish was cooked amazingly, very delicate, but needed more seasoning. The dish lacked texture so to compensate for the fish/rice the rice bed was cooked so that it was crispy. The desert course was panna cotta again no real texture, and maybe slightly over set. The dish was served with marshmallow and burned rice to give it texture. The burned taste was a bit over powering for the dish.My wife and I both agreed that the best way to know if you like the food is if you would be back, sadly for the price and feeling slightly underwhelmed by it we dont think we well be back. :(Nice experience and staff were amazing and super friendly.

This place looked very promising when I read the menu. However, the staff was extremely pretentious and the food was absolutely mediocre. The portions were very small and it was overpriced. I asked if the gazpacho was heavy on the bell peppers they said no. It was indeed mostly bell pepper flavor but since there were only like 3 tablespoons of it it wasnt a big deal. The risotto was horribly under seasoned the rice was still firm and it was watery. A few slices of orange and some whipped cream for dessert and really didnt seem worth the price. I guess you have to be a hipster to like this place and not someone who appreciates good food.
