But the profiterole blew me away. Pure, silky cream filling. Will save me from driving down to Filling Station for eclairs.

Tue Mar 01 01:02:27 -0800 2005 363507 0 Robert Lu 3 363539 I feel that same way, that I should be wearing a hat and gloves in San Marino. Tue Mar 01 09:14:23 -0800 2005 363517 0 Zoe 4 363547 Likewise - I live walking distance from Julienne, but have never eaten there because I feel like I'm walking into Stepford! I'm not a sandwich or sweets person, and I know that's mostly what J is known for. Is there anything else they serve that is savory and could motivate me to overcome my fear of Stepford?? Tue Mar 01 11:38:48 -0800 2005 363539 0 littleblackmaryjanes 5 363555 I always enjoy their sandwiches or quiches for lunch.

As for the atmosphere, I think Henry James is a nice change from Raymond Chandler...once in a while. Tue Mar 01 15:20:27 -0800 2005 363555 0 Will Owen 7 363783 Well stated. What's the problem with Henry James' world? Tue Mar 01 22:34:47 -0800 2005 363606 0 Griller141 8 363830 Nothing, but isn't Julienne really more like something out of Updike rather than James? Nice salads. The closest thing we have to it on the westside is Clementine, I guess, but Julienne is prettier as is the neighborhood. Wed Mar 02 03:10:54 -0800 2005 363783 0 PayOrPlay 9 364189 You might say Updike or Cheever, but my subjective feeling is more of oppressive social convention than well-heeled ennui. Will have to check out Clementine for comparison. Thu Mar 03 18:24:01 -0800 2005 363830 0 Robert Lu 5 363992 I go there for breakfast most of the time. I love the creme brulee french toast. It's more like a bread pudding than a french toast. The rosemary raisin bread, toasted, is really good. Egg dishes are good too. Wed Mar 02 19:55:57 -0800 2005 363547 0 Celia
