Born and raised in Seattle, I have been coming to Julia's off and on for over 10 years for mostly breakfast and lunch. Lately, my sweetie and I have made a few trips there for breakfast and last weekend was the last time unless someone begins to care about cleanliness. I have always noticed it's not the cleanest place, but could overlook it, this time it all came together for me.\r
We came around 8:15am, they open at 8am, about 5 tables full so far, I could actually see the across the whole floor, under the tables was food and dirt from previous days customers, it looked like it hadn't seen a mop in a while, dusty, grimey corners too..I accidently spilled a bit of water on our table and used a napkin to wipe it up, to my disgust the napkin was filthy (which prompted me to ""really"" look at the table) the table was crusty and dirty from other peoples feasts, and not just in one spot,. Our waiter was very kind and he noticed the whole dirty table without me even pointing it out, he cleared it all and wiped it down. The blown glass art in the windows is always coated with dust, the walls at the tables are always dirty and sticky with food, fingerprints and who knows what. After we ate, I went to use the ladies room and when I walked in, I stood there for a minute then pretty much walked out and held it, it absolutely wreaks of urine in there. I have noticed it before and just thought they were having a bad cleaning week. This place needs to be bleached down and cleaned up on a regular basis, I am wondering what the kitchen looks like where customers don't go. I am scared to eat there anymore and sad because I really like to go there. It also gives the feeling that someone does not care.
Pros: Good Seattle place for breakfast/brunch
Cons: Unclean, uncared for
