My husband and I went to Julia's the other night to celebrate and although our first time here was questionable, we are big believers in trying a place twice, just in case it was just an ""off night"". We started out with the taquitos which were perfectly cooked and left us wanting more, but it was all downhill from there. I chose to begin with the exotic mix salad which boasts of a vanilla dressing. Although the plating was gorgeous, I couldn't eat it as the vanilla took over the dish and was so potent that it made me cringe my shoulders and draw my mouth into a nasty pout. I couldn't beleive that someone had tasted that dressing before serving it to a customer and if they had then they have no business being in the kitchen. I sent the dish back because it was inedible and substitued it with the lobster bisque whcih was a bit thin for my taste, but not bad. For my main course I ordered the scallops and they were still cold and raw inside!!! When I went to send the plate back and explained to our waitress what the problem was she actually said, ""That's happened a couple of times tonight!"" I was stunned. They tried to make amends with a free dessert but they should have comped our bill for the awful food and quite frankly I was unintrested in experimenting with anymore of their lacklaster cuisine. My advice, SKIP THIS HEALTH HAZARD, and grab some Taco Bell, it will be better trust me!!!
Pros: Convenient midtown location
Cons: undercooked and overseasoned food and overpriced
