Best Cozy Restaurants in Kensington

Jeff was our bartender - what a great guy! He makes delicious cocktails and gave me an excellent recommendation for wine. Kai was our server. Very personable and efficient. He took good care of us. The food was delicious as always!

The wait staff here are phenomenal and very personable. They were quick to bring out dishes and cleaned up dishes after we lingered over our empty plates--this was a positive in my book. The Cheese pie was really to die for. It was "weird" that there is honey spread over the top, but it added so much flavor to the pie! Trust me. Get this! Roasted Squash was loved by a anti-veggie person at our table, so it too was a really great dish. It is so full of flavor! By all means get the Greek doughnuts for dessert. You will not be sorry. One order was enough for our table of 4. The non-alcoholic drinks were true winners for us teetotalers and the wine selection was very good for those who were imbibing.

They had a couple of big parties going on at the same time we were there and the staff and management and kitchen handled it all with ease. Our calamari was lightly floured and delicious. Highly recommend the alfredo and spicy ragu. The prices are reasonable for the portions and fresh pasta and top ingredients. The menu isn’t large but they execute everything on it so well. The General Manager came over and spoke with us a few times throughout the meal. Was a great experience.

very lovely place. have been here couple times and last night was again a wonderful evening. very accommodating staff who paid attention to our notes that we needed room to accommodate a baby carriage. extremely fast bread service and lots of specials to choose from in addition to good solid menu. parking is a little limited on a crowded night but we were able to snag one of the last few spots. will definitely be visiting again.

We had a wonderful special occasion dinner at Julii. Got a regular table for 2 but it was located in the bar area, so the bartender doubled as working the bar and providing our table service. While he was gracious and easy with us, that double duty led to a couple delays requiring one of the floor managers could step in. Our food was delightful, tasty, well prepared, and presented with some artistry. Others were have special events that night as well, which brings out a burning"sparkler" to their table for their celebration. While visually entertaining, the sparklers spread a foul, burnt sulphur odor across the restaurant. That odor does not go well with any fine meal or wine, at least for us. Perhaps the restaurant will consider dropping those sparklers for a couple real candles. That same celebratory message would come with less sulphur. Not to worry though, we'll come back for a really nice meal.
