Jula's is one of our absolute favorite restaurants and tonight's experience confirmed that opinion. Their "Date Night" tasting menu of six courses for two people for $100 is a great value and every single course was scrumptious. Plus, you can't beat the view of the Potomac from their terrace. And perhaps the cherry on top is the first rate service provided by James. He has only been there a couple of months but I hope he is there for the long term. He's simply one of the best servers we've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

We celebrated an important birthday there with friends and family. All of the food was excellent, nice menu variety, great service (Thanks, Mike) and terrific view. Only one complaint was a very loud table seated next to us so we had difficulty carrying on a conversation. Been there for work lunches too…a great choice.

We visited on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was lively—perhaps a bit louder than expected—but the energy added to the vibrant feel of the evening. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, though understandably busy given the crowd. Despite that, the service remained professional and pleasant. The food was the true highlight! I absolutely loved the duck, and my mocktail was refreshing and expertly crafted. My wife couldn’t stop raving about her crab cakes—they were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. While the bustling ambiance was a bit more energetic than we had anticipated, we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Next time, we might opt for outdoor seating or request a quieter section to better suit our preference. Regardless, we’d happily return for another delicious meal!
