Very loud to start off with! The service was okay. The food was horrible. Had Chicken Parm the pasta was very very undercooked couldn’t eat it. The red sauce had a bad aftertaste and the chicken was way overcooked and very dry. As my daughter said at least the bread and tea was good. Won’t be going back! Huge disappointment!!

My date and I really liked this place. Great spot for a date. Food was a 9/10 for me. I had the Italian sausage ravioli and my date had the white lasagna with creamy pesto sauce and both were delicious and tasted homemade, very authentic. A date for two with good food and under 100 dollars !! We’ll be coming back for sure.

My dad and I came here to carb-load before I ran a Half Marathon the next morning. I made reservations a while back and we were seated right on time. The hostesses were super friendly and then from there it got even better. Robert took great care of us and was very knowledgable of the menu, wine, etc. The bread basket was very addictive. My seafood pasta was outstanding and my dad loved his chicken picatta. We will definitely be coming back again soon!!

Always exceeds expectations! I love introducing friends to Juliet on Barton Springs. My friend had a wonderful experience and is looking forward to bringing her friends and family to enjoy as well. We ate from the left side of the menu plus a delicious chocolate panne cotte. We are both gluten-free, and we were well accommodated.
