Wish the staff would use gloves...they handle money at the cash register and then immediately use their hands to pick up food items or salad ingredients while making salads. Â If it weren't for that it would be my favorite place on the mountain.

The menu is creative, the building is charming, the ingredients are fresh and local... but the service is poor. I got the impression that not one single employee had ever worked in a restaurant before. Just a lot of inefficiency. For example, we stopped in for lunch around 1:00pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy, but not slammed by any means. There was a line to the door moving extremely slowly. There was only one employee ringing orders, and she would periodically leave the register to get drink refills or run food. Meanwhile, there were 6 or 7 other employees laconically wandering around, staring at glassware and dishes like foreign objects. Also, when you pay with a card, they prompt you to tip, even though you bus your own tables and have to come in for refills. Basically, the business model just seems askew. However, my fish tacos weren't bad, so there's that. :)

A wonderful late lunch and a much better choice after 2 when the grill at Shenanigans is shut down. Â Great Vietnamese Banh Mi, chilled peach soup with fantastic flavor, and desserts to die for. Â Loved the key lime pie and carrot cake. Â Definitely a must visit.

Julias is arguably the best food on the mountain. The Bahn Mi and the fish tacos are my faves! But their enchilada specials are usually different and very tasty, especially when paired with their delicious red pepper soup!

It is so nice to finally see an ethnically diverse menu in Sewanee. The foods are all fresh, beautiful, and lovingly created--and everything I've tried has been delicious. The atmosphere is open and comfortable and well lit.

Fig, arugula, and goat cheese pizza--Delicious! I brought it home to share with my family but the crust was so perfectly crisp and the peppery arugula mixed so nicely with the sweet figs that I wound up eating the whole thing myself.

Vietnamese Pork PatÃ© Sandwich--I dream about this sandwich. The tangy sweetness of the pickled vegetables mixes perfectly with the flavorful patÃ©. Yum!

Fish Tacos--Fresh, grilled, light and oh so good. Most fish tacos are fried, and end up being a little heavy. No heavy batters here--this fish is so perfectly seared it almost tastes like shrimp. Pineapple salsa pulls the whole dish together.

Desserts--The Yummy Chocolate Cake may be the best I've ever had, and the Peanut Butter Brownies with oats are unbelievably delicious. The key lime pie is to die for as well. The Mexican Chocolate Torte is a little heavy for my palate, but my husband begs me to pick him up a piece any time I'm there.

Julia's is definitely a must-try any time you're Sewanee.
