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.

You offer pay what you can tables?

Absolutely! One table each evening is available on a pay what you can basis. Reservations are required for this experience, and are available from our normal reservations page. If you book a pay what you can table, the full Juliet menu will be available for you, and at the end of your meal you’ll be invited to pay whatever amount is most comfortable for you, no questions asked! NOTE: alcoholic beverages must be charged at full menu price by state law.

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!
