    We had an appallingly bad experience at this restaurant. Our meals were prepared incorrectly. Dirty dishes piled up on our table. We asked many times for silverware, napkins, plates. Drinks were never refilled. It was as if they were surprised people had come to eat food here. We spoke with the manager, who seemed incredulous. We ate here mainly because we were tired and didn't want to venture off property for dinner. What a mistake.

    I had the marinated skirt steak cooked medium, grilled shrimp, over Spanish and garlic mashed potatoes. It was amazing? The steak was super tender and everything meshed well together for an amazing flavor! I will certainly be ordering this again during my week stay here.

    It was a busy Friday night the day after thanksgiving but the staff did a fantastic job giving great service. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. Wings were fantastic and hummus was a great appetizer. Definitely going to come back here

    Wonderful service and excellent food. Amazing ambience, too. We ate out on the patio and ordered the Trio Dip (queso, guacamole, and salsa with tortilla chips) as our appetizer. All three tasted great. I personally had the Julia Burger (lettuce, tomato, pickle chip, and cheddar cheese), which tasted great. Overall great place! :D

    Let's talk about a beautiful day. My wife and I eloped this morning and we had reservations in which we called ahead to say we were going to be about 30 minutes late. The staff at the front (female) said, "that's not going to be any problem. We show up and the very problematic, extremely rude and pessimistic manager named Jason says to us, "we're going to need you out of here by 7 o'clock because we have another party coming to this table." the nerve, unprofessionalism, extreme disregard and disrespect we were shown by Jason.... Was unbelievable. To imagine he has been chosen to be a manger of this beautiful place is a disgrace. Please don't waste your time, money, or happy moment IF JASON IS PRESENT The front staff does not communicate and it's very obvious JASON is full of it. Sorry about the power move you thought you were showing. All I see is a restaurant manager who cannot handle the business. Jason and staff do not communicate, are cold and rude. I was married today and this manager Jason made EVERYTHING, completely made our wedding dinner insignificant with his comments and completely unprofessional with his words. Completely disappointed in the restaurant we were recommended.

    Sunday afternoon, 12:15pm…..8 patrons when we arrived. Our server was inattentive….she was preoccupied with friends at one of three occupied tables. Drinks were very good. Street tacos - beef, fish & shrimp were dry and bland. Chips, salsa, queso & guacamole were mediocre at best. We expected much more, Julia’s is capable of much more.

    Upscale hotel. Not cheap, but first class.

    This place was great. They opened an hour early to serve us and my kids liked it so much we went back there next night. Good prices too!

    I was so excited to try dinner at this place, the menu looked amazing!! Around 30 minutes after consuming bites from a few different appetizers, I was sick to my stomach. Please do not eat at this restaurant, I would not wish this feeling on anyone.

    Nice patio for cocktails. Returned for dinner with a small group. This time it was a mess. 2hrs to get salads. The orders were all mixed up. Food was still tasty, just oh so slow.

    We came to eat here for breakfast since we were staying at the hotel. It was a nice breakfast but nothing special or amazing about it. A little on the pricey side for what it is and their portions are on the small side. I enjoyed it but we wouldn’t go out of our way to come back.

    just eat some place else. the quality of the food and service do not match the price point or expectation at all. a quick breakdown chips and salsas were fine, nothing special. the queso was a dead ringer for tostidos we requested our wings crispy with sauce on the side. they showed up sauced but the sauce was really great the pork chop was overdone and was way too salty. could not finish. for 53 bucks that’s ridiculous the burgers were not smash burgers and were way overdone. two little fat pattys that tasted off. hope im not sick from the beef. the bun fell apart and the green chili add on we requested was not on the burger i took two bites and am still disgusted by the after taste. lots of good options in santa fe - this is not one of them

    Short version: Looking for a special dining experience? Look no further than Julia, a Spirited Restaurant & Bar. This stunning establishment offers warm and professional service, a cozy atmosphere with a rich history, and mouth-watering dishes, such as the perfectly seasoned rosemary roasted half chicken and bacon-wrapped fillet mignon with black truffle mashed potatoes and mole sauce. Top it off with the jalapeño cucumber margarita and pecan caramel cheesecake and you're in for a treat. Don't miss the opportunity to be taken care of by the exceptional staff at Julia - you won't regret it. Full review: Looking for a special dining experience? Look no further than Julia, a Spirited Restaurant & Bar, where history and modernity meet in a stunning setting. With a rich history dating back to 1882, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone interested in the past. And once you're inside, you'll be greeted by warm and professional staff who are dedicated to making your experience unforgettable. During our visit, we were lucky enough to be seated next to a cozy fireplace, adding to the warm and relaxing ambiance created by the exposed wood and beautiful architecture. But the real star of the show was the food and drink. We started off with a jalapeño cucumber margarita that was expertly crafted with the perfect balance of flavors. For our entrees, we opted for the rosemary roasted half chicken and bacon-wrapped fillet mignon with black truffle mashed potatoes and mole sauce. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. And for dessert, we indulged in the pecan caramel cheesecake, served with fresh fruit and whipped cream. It was the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable meal. But what really set Julia apart was the exceptional service. From the bartender wishing us a happy anniversary to our server Karel going above and beyond to make the night extra special, we felt truly taken care of from start to finish. Don't miss out on the opportunity to dine at Julia and experience all it has to offer. You won't regret it.

    Simple bar food, nice atmosphere and servers were very nice

  • 1/5 Nathan L. 1 year ago on Google
    The whole time we were there the two bar tenders bikered back and forth. In the process they discussed how the refrigerator hadn't been cleaned because neither could decide who's job it was. No one there was particularly friendly or attentative. Despite the fact we had specifically planned all week to give them a try we were ultimately so underwhelmed, we went somewhere else for dinner. Very disapointing.

    This is an established restaurant and adjacent bar that's a well kept secret among Santa Fe-ans. Excellent service, cozy environment, and a nice, ample outdoor section that's ideal for dinning during the warm months. I love frequenting this place, unless I happen to catch glimpse of Julia! 🤐

    Bartenders seemed a bit overwhelmed, we visited on a Monday night so I wouldn't have thought they'd be so busy (but they may be busier than usual because not as many restaurants in town are open). Nevertheless when we got our cocktails they tasted great, the ambience really makes this place special. I definitely want to return and try the restaurant.

    One of our favorite places in Santa Fe it is part of Inn at LA Posada ! Wonderful atmosphere, great and friendly staff. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, Huevos Rancheros and Lox/ Beagle.....this is a great place to stay when you visit our beautiful City.

    The staff was friendly and attentive. The place has great relaxing vibes. Just wish the entree salad was 20% bigger for the price.

    Food was great and drinks were good. I wish there were a few more drink choices but I was happy. We sat outside in the courtyard, which was pleasant and relaxing. The heaters were going, which kept us plenty warm, and the stars were out. One of the last nights we'll be able to enjoy eating outside for a while. It was nice to get a little away from the crowds on the plaza.

    Excellent dinner on a busy Saturday night! We had a large group of 8 and no reservation! Hostess did a great job getting us seated! Service was excellent and food delicious Never saw Julia but still looking!
