Q: It's no surprise why Julia Baker has such great reviews. Her creations exude excellence. Pure and utter excellence. This could be my sugar high talking but that just means she truly succeeded in accomplishing perfection in her desserts! I finally visited Julia Baker's store this weekend at the Monte Lucia. When I walked in, I noticed how minimalistic it was. It was trendy, clean, fresh and subtle all at once. I read on the wall how Julia studied in France and then worked at two shops in France and let me just say...it completely shows in her desserts and her decor! I have a thing for mini cakes lately, and especially cake pops and cake balls. For those of you who haven't experienced either yet, they are pretty much "Alice In Wonderland" style cakes which are round cakes that you can pop in your mouth in less than three bites. It gives me the sweet tooth satisfaction I need without having a large piece of cake staring at me in the face. Plus, it's always fun eating miniature food. Don't ask me why. So yes, Julia Baker sells cake balls. She has red velvet and chocolate. I tried the red velvet and it was definitely velvet in my mouth! Delicious. They would be adorable party favors and especially since I learned that they create specially decorated cake balls for every holiday -- Mother's Day ones are coming out this week! The cake balls are $2.25 a ball, so they aren't cheap but would Parisians complain if they could have perfection in their mouth without the calories of an entire slice of cake? I don't think they would so I'm not going to either! Voila. Moving on to the truffles. Julia Baker has won awards for her caramel chocolate truffles, so I had to give it a go. It's a petite truffle with creamy caramel in the middle and with one bite, I was in bliss. The chocolate is decadent and it's the perfect size. She also has hand cut chocolates and other truffles for sale. In addition, she sells several boxes of different shapes and sizes for gifts or parties. This is the ideal place for a hostess gift or for small party favors if you're willing to dig into the wallet. She has the signature caramel truffles in individually wrapped plastic boxes which would be absolutely adorable on a table during a party. So I tried the cake and the truffle and I'm a huge fan, so I will say that if you have a party of any shape and size and you're looking for a sweet touch to the party, check out Julia Baker.

Q: Don't waste your time and money here... Horrible is a nice way of describing this place... It started with our waiter Omar who one does not listen to what we have ordered, and two continued to bring us the wrong orders all night, and made us keep the wrong order... It started off simple we wanted two long islands to drinks and Omar brings us tequila and tells us to just drink them. My husband ordered the short ribs and Omar says no you need to get lamb y husband said no thank you He just wanted to try the short ribs... Well Omar brought my husband lamb instead of what he ordered. I ordered the capped mushrooms and even asked before hand how it is prepared... Omar stated that they are stuffed with other mushrooms and oven baked with cheese. when Omar brought the mushrooms to the table the were brunt crisp and unedible... When i asked them why the were so brunt he said that's how they come and took off. At this point we didn't even want to make a stink that everything was wrong about the whole dinner and experience so we asked for our check, we were just ready to pay and leave it took 30 minutes to recieve a bill... I explained to Omar that we had show tickets and were going to be late and he brushed his hand up saying ya i'll get there and ignored us. I finally called over a manger to bring us our bill i did not want to ruin our only date night out complianing or be upset so we just got our check paid and went on our way... But since I did'nt get to speak to a manger I hope the owner reads how horrible the service and food was... not happy with this place at all. Too bad yelp doesn't have a zero star... I had better service at a burger king then this place.... OPTIONS:
