FAQs

What’s with the tipping and wages stuff?

A 20% service charge will be added to all transactions at Juliet. This charge is shared evenly among our whole staff, based on hours worked. Traditional tips cannot be shared with kitchen workers per state law, but our service charge can be shared equally with everyone. Juliet does not pay the typical, lower, hourly rate for service workers, therefore it is important to us that everyone has the opportunity to share in the incentives created. Juliet + Company’s minimum wage is $16/hour. Service charges are shared equally in addition to that base wage. Therefore, additional tips should be considered completely optional.

Questions? We’d love to hear them: info@julietsomerville.com

Where do I park?

There is street parking available on both sides of Washington Street, but it is limited. If you are able to use public transportation, we are very conveniently located near both the 86 bus line and the Union Square Green Line T station.

What’s the dress code?

Come on, there’s no dress code! Juliet is suitable for everyday dining or special occasions alike, and we’d love for you to show up however you are comfortable.

What kind of restaurant is Juliet?

Juliet is mostly French, totally fun, and inspired heavily by the region of Nice. In Nice, the cuisine and culture is itself heavily influenced by very close neighbors in Italy. Juliet is also of the neighborhood, comfortable for everyday dining, while being very good at special occasions. We are here for your birthdays, your anniversaries, your graduations, all of it! But also your Monday nights.

Juliet is a prix fixe style restaurant?

It is, and it isn’t. Maybe you heard that Juliet was hard to get in to, and only served a fixed price menu. Both of those things used to be true, but in 2021 we moved into a larger space, added a daily a la carte menu as our main menu, and our prix fixe menus moved into the delicious background. Still readily available, but not the ONLY option. For dinner Juliet serves an “our way” menu based on the a la carte menu but designed to introduce you to the very best of Juliet on your first visit. We also serve a “Grand Menu” which is based on our old prix fixe menu productions in the old space. These menus are full of thematic research and culinary technique based on global traditions, and constantly changing. Click here to learn more about Juliet’s Grand Menu production schedule.

Is there a cancellation fee?

For parties of 5 or more, we require a credit card to be on file. Nothing will ever be charged to that card unless the reservation is cancelled with less than 4 hours notice or the reservation fails to show up, in which case we charge a cancellation fee of $20 per person.

Juliet is a breakfast restaurant?

Sure is! But it is also a lunch, brunch, and dinner restaurant. Since 2016, Juliet has been open all day, and all night. Drop by any time!
