So Jerry and I went to Juliano's for dinner last night.
When we walked in - the smell of fresh tuberose flowers filled the air - which made me smile!!
The place was dimly lit and there were beeswax candles on every table. Not as many tables as I thought there would be - it's very cozy.
We shared Hummos, Guacomole, "Cheesburger", And Sicilian Pizza.
We decided that the hummos was our favorite, no contest. The other items were too spicy for us and took away from enjoying how many interesting ingredients there were in each meal. The other thing we loved were the crackers. Since I haven't made any yet - this was my first and they were fantastic. Loved them with the hummos. The cheesburger was really good - it had guacomole, onions, basil, parsley, and the crust was terrific.
The pizza had sundried tomatos, zuccini, and other things that we discovered as we went - I can't remember now! It was good but too spicy.
I must say the meals are beautiful to look at and it was fun to bite into something we had never tried before and to try to uncover all that was included in each bite. Worth the trip! Everything was a work of art!
next stop - dessert......we had a coconut a brownie and a shot of "blood"
I enjoyed the coconut- he didn't really.
But the brownie.....
oh my - it was the BEST brownie I have ever had in my entire life.
chocolaty ( caroby ) gooey - with walnuts - oh - it was delicious. I would make the trek across town just for the brownie.
The blood tonic was great too - passionfruit juice with slices of mango in it and ginger. Really good.
Next time I go - I want to try things with no "heat"
like some "pasta" and some soups.
Definately worth it to try it if you are in town.
And Jerry commented that if I made meals like this he would love to eat them. ( And that was in the beginning with the hummos! ) So Jerry might be right along side me soon!
I give this restaurant an A+!!
Can't wait to try the others in town.
Jerry found out that the restuarant Leaf is right down the street from where he works and commented that he is going to go there for lunch!
wow.
