“ Amazing seafood-focused restaurant with innovative dishes. My favorites were the raw wild shrimp and cooked squid dishes. I also enjoyed the whipped mackerel and clam mushroom soba, nice flavors without being too heavy. I would skip the chilled octopus dish though - I felt like it lacked the depth of flavor that the other dishes had ”
“ *GREAT time and overall experience* Saint Julivert feels like a hidden gem, in Cobble Hill. The seafood was outstanding with a pleasant ambience and excellent service making for a very enjoyable evening. At the time we had went, we ordered their special Barnacles dish! Never had that before so it was a must to try. Oh that was a funny thing to eat (and actually very tasty). We also tried the 'chilled' octopus (amazing) and whipped mackerel (so good) amongst others. We also had a fish we watched as they deboned in front of us which was very impressive as NO bones were left behind. Definitely will go back ”
“ Food was so delicious and creative! The dessert was my favorite! The pineapple layer balanced so well with the ice cream! will definitely come back again! ”
“ AWARD WINNING COASTAL CUISINE Michelin couple Alex & Eder creates a creative culinary restaurant inspired by coastal seafood regions from Spain / Japan. Saint Julivert is a hidden gem on Clinton Street and judging by the lively interior, it’s no secret that this is a popular destination for foodies and restaurant savants. The interior is modest in size so it feels more like an intimate chefs kitchen / bar with high tables and counter tops. Our waitress, Winnie, was terrific and guided us through an assortment of seafood dishes to try. She said this was more of a shared dish style and gave us a great range of options. The food was INCREDIBLE. Presentation was top notch, like artistry using a palette of seafood and complimentary fruits / vegetables. Each bite was not only delicious but you could appreciate the layers of different flavors from tangy/tart to smoky/savory. My absolute favorite was the shiso leaf wrapped raw seafood appetizer. Everything here is amazing!!! Premium cuisine at a premium price. Highly Recommended ”
“ The seafood dishes are so delicious and creative, my favorites are the fried shrimp and raw shrimp, the mushroom soba with uni butter and the lobster tacos. Services are excellent. Only issue is the check is a bit pricey ”
“ Great place, amazingvatmosphere, greek wines... ...what else can you ask for??? ...oh yeah, prices... ...l would say low for the quality of food and service you get... Guys, don't miss it!!! ”
“ Small plates of very delicious food. I understood going in that it was going to be pricey, for a guy from Philly, all the reviews showed 100 per person, I guess I just didn't expect that I would leave hungry. But all good, it was delicious and the staff were great. The cocktail prices were reasonable. ”
“ This is one of the best tapas spots I have ever tried, hands down! We ordered the special, the sole with Thai inspired vinaigrette, the octopus, the beet salad, risotto, oyster mushroom soba, and the whipped mackerel. Every dish is extremely balanced in terms of flavors and texture (I prefer milder tastes for reference). And the combination of ingredients of each dish is so delightful and delicious. For example, the roasted hazelnuts paired with the beets is a surprising burst of flavors that leave you wanting more. The dishes also came out quickly, and it's really nice to try out each dish all at once! I don't usually give reviews for restaurants unless I'm completely blown away. I will definitely keep coming back to Saint Julivert and I'm excited to see what other dishes they will create! ”
