    Great night out with old friends, food and service were on point, we love all of Julian’s restaurants and the newest one “The Basement” is no exception. Thank you for a memorable evening.

    Order chicken cutlet Parmesan nowhere on the menu did it say spicy with red peppers? I had the waitress take it back told her I can’t eat anything spicy and all they did was take it from one dish put it onto another dish and brought it back to me. Have condition that i cant eat spicy food. Should be listed as spicy. I will never go back to this place again.

    The gnocchi that is served with the chicken artichoke entree was amazing. Even reheated the next day they were amazing. The food is very good, it’s a great place for a meal.

    First time dining with the family. Had several dishes that were reminiscent of Bayou. Glad to see Ricky and some of the staff that transferred over as well. Food and service were excellent.
