Juliano's Restaurant - Fine dining restaurant in Billings - 2912 7th Ave N, USA

Such a shame that this place is closing. It's such a unique setting and the food is just as unique. We loved coming here for date night desserts

This is a very cozy restaurant, located inside of a former home. I both love and hate the layout of the restaurant for this reason. We were sested in a former bedroom upstairs, with 3 tables in the room. There was one other table occupied at the time. There is no music playing or background noise, and because of this, the room is very quiet, and you can hear every word another table says. In my opinion, this is not as romantic of a setting and not as personal for your tables' conversation. That being said, the food is among the best presented in billings. I ordered the swordfish, and my date got the quail. The food was very good and presented beautifully. The bread they serve with the table is so good, it is hard to save room for the meal! Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant, and I would love to see some music in there to boost the atmosphere, making it 5 stars all around.

We celebrated a very elegant 21st anniversary. This atmosphere was definitely out of our casual comfort zone but we enjoyed our experience here immensely. Set in an old colonial stable, this restaurant is very intimate. The dining rooms are quaint and small. There were only 5 or 6 tables in the room we were seated. Elegantly set tables, beautiful, enormous windows finely dressed, and I was enamored by the massive ornate fireplace set in the back of the room. Soft smooth jazz played in the background and the conversations of the other diners were barely audible at the lowest of murmurs. We couldn't help but nervously giggle whisper throughout our meal because the atmosphere felt so formal. It was kind of silly fun for us. SO MANY FORKS! lol We were first served complimentary sushi after being seated. It didn't stand apart from any other sushi we've had but was very good. Next a warm, fresh baked loaf of bread accompanied with infused olive oil was brought to our table along with the wine list. The bread & oil were the only things we were slightly saddened over. The bread while perfectly baked, warm and so soft on the inside and thin, crispy, flaky crust, fell flat on flavor as did the infused oil. Honestly just tasted like plain olive oil. We did choose to order a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was fabulous. Next we were served an amazingly fresh and flavorful arugula salad, dressed with a roasted walnut and apple vinaigrette, and topped with crushed walnuts and apple slices. Another taste sensation. For starters we chose the softshell crab and alligator tail. Absolutely devine! I had never tried softshell crab and I was over the moon! The alligator tail was fantastic as well. Cooked perfectly, flaky and tender, tasted fantastic. For our main courses my husband chose the grilled shutome (sword fish) topped with a tomato, lemon butter and caper sauce. It was perfection. The mashed potatoes were surprising, literally the best we've ever had. They were creamy and fluffy and smooth all at once. The steamed vegetables were just that, no butter or seasoning to be noticed, but we're the perfect balance of tender and crisp. The purple coleslaw wasn't for us but only because we truly are not fans of any slaw. I had the veal and spinach cannelloni with sauteed mushrooms. The veal was shredded, tender and full flavored, the spinach was perfectly steamed, and the 5 cheese alfredo sauce was so rich and silky. I loved every bite. The sauteed mushrooms were delicious as well. Our server was very professional, attentive, efficient and informative. She was very adept at her craft and made us feel at ease. All the courses came out at an appropriate speed and for all the food we were served, and a bottle of wine our bill was just over $100 before tip which we found very reasonable. We left with a piece of key lime cheesecake to go. Later we shared in the hotel room. It was very very good. We definitely will keep this restaurant in mind the next time we celebrate a special occasion.

If you’re accustomed to excellent food you won’t go wrong here. I’m from Sonoma County California (I’m not moving here, I promise! Don’t hate me!) I say this not because I’m picky (I’m not) but I AM incredibly spoiled with good food. This meal was the highlight of my trip. And while I know you’re not supposed to order seafood in a landlocked state, you can rest assured that the Chef absolutely knows what he’s doing and clearly has a source for fresh fish. Absolutely give this place a visit if you’re in Billings. Heck, make the trip if you’re in Montana.

The best food I've found in Billings. This chef cares about quality, creativity, and presentation. A true pro. Unfortunately, I should warn you about the service. Our server had all the grace and finesse of a greasy spoon waitress, slinging hash. We walked up and heard someone holler, "Reservation?" The place was empty. Why not just seat us? We asked for a recommendation? "It's all good." She asked how we wanted our salmon prepared, "Medium Well?" When did salmon start getting served any other way but cooked? Then she served the salmon with steak knives. The day I need a steak knife for salmon is going to be a bad day. She's a pro server, but not in fine dining, which this place definitely is. It's too bad that as great as the food was, I can't give five stars.

Excellent food and loved eating out on the patio. One of my favorite restaurants anywhere.

The food was delicious and the service was very good. You do need to make a reservation. It is totally worth it. The atmosphere here is so cool and unique.

This place is the definition of a 5 star experience! Exceptional food, fabulous service, all in a unique and cozy atmosphere. If you need a place for a romantic date, small Christmas party, or just a lovely lunch or dinner with friends, this is your spot!
