Juliet Italian Kitchen- Barton Springs

Had a great time here for my birthday dinner with friends! I made a reservation on open table which was also very easy. They have complimentary valet parking which is amazing in this area. I had the butterfly spritz, shrimp scampi and complimentary birthday tiramisu which was incredible! The staff were all lovely and so accommodating of gluten free and vegan dietary restrictions in our party. Also the prices were so reasonable for the quality of everything. Would definitely go back for another nice occasion!

Excellent Italian food. Juliet's flour is imported, so my gluten-sensitive family can enjoy really well-made pasta!

Our server was great at communicating that the kitchen staff advised that their kitchen has flour everywhere and is not safe for sensitive gluten allergies/celiac. For management to assume the issue came from the server instead of themselves is laughable. The server does not set the standards in the kitchen. It’s the disregard from management to take food allergies seriously - especially gluten- that is the joke. Their gluten free pasta in a kitchen where gluten cannot be contained well is a vanity offering. Why bother making anything gluten free if it’s not taken seriously. Any gluten contamination is still just that. Management is a defensive mess as seen by their reply to feedback. The audacity of a 28% tip button is grotesque and very desperate. This indicates a restaurant that cares not to pay staff a livable wage. Pay your staff past the bare minimum and stop asking your patrons to do your job to keep your staff happy. To guilt the populace into an overly generous tip and then continue to double down on how others tip even up to 35% is not a standard a chain restaurant should set for guests. There is nothing upscale about Juliet. They are nothing more than a level up from the Olive Garden. Austin has far better italian options than this relic.
