"At Juliet, you'll see some of the stereotypical elements of a fancy French restaurant on display: a pricey menu, lots of wine, and a little caviar tartlet. But we like this Culver City spot because it's polished but not pretentious. It's a good choice for a date if you're eating with someone who will get excited about well-made sweetbreads and a neutral-toned farmhouse room that could be in an Architectural Digest Youtube video. And unlike its sister spots Margot and Norah, Juliet has both style and substance. You won't get out for less than $75-ish per person, but if you're looking to eat lamb chops and try a bunch of French wines by the half-glass, you'll be thrilled." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
