Enjoyed a surprisingly quiet Saturday morning brunch on 7/6. We reserved a table for two inside to enjoy Jula's spectacular view of the Potomac. Our favorite waiter is Khai, and he always suggests the best drinks. I started with a Lady Jane (which he told me is named after the owner's maiden name) and my date had the Grand Margarita. Both very delicious, not overly sweet. Very smooth. The food is excellent, every time. Hands down. I had the grilled salmon with grits (the best grits in the DMV), and my date had the Cajun omelette with home fries. Top notch. Khai suggested we also try the Gran Paraiso margarita with passionfruit juice topped with/strawberry slices. As usual, he was right we bo...
The octopus appetizer was disappointing VERY tough. The entrees were very good, though, and the desserts (especially the bread pudding) were excellent. The wines were also also good with decent value. Our waittress was also very good. The view from most parts of the restaurant were excellent, though the acoustics were such that even though the restaurant was only about 1/3 full (on a Tuesday night), it was very loud at times. So there is a mixed bag. It was overall a very enjoyable experience and we will likely return!
I came with a friend to celebrate my birthday. The hosts accommodated our request to sit at a window table with a view of the water. Our server, Sam, was pleasant and attentive and made sure to check on us. We enjoyed the crab dip, Gnocci and Salmon, and all were delicious! Then, i was surprised by a lovely dessert of vanilla ice cream and a delicious raspberry sorbet with a candle for my birthday. Such a nice gesture! The whole experience was fantastic and we look forward to coming back.
Great food and drinks! The views are amazing as well! Just moved to the area and was excited to try something new! I unfortunately had to wait over 15 minutes for someone to come take my drink order and by the then I already knew what I wanted to eat. Noise wasn't terrible, but just keep in mind if you sit outside the airplanes fly right over the restaurant. But all in all it was a great place!

We love this place and come here often. Generally the service is great, however, this time the service was borderline “fair”—the waiter walked up and just looked at us and then said “-are you ready to order?” No greetings, drink orders, specials... and remained in the verge of rude the rest of the time. I guess the 20% tip inclusion leaves little incentive to even try to be engaging.
I've been to Jula's several times, and to its predecessor, Cafe 44. I'm pleased that the larger Jula's has maintained the same great service and food, and now has more tables with the fabulous view. In nice weather, dining alfresco is an extra treat. This most recent visit was on a 99 degree day, and a table for two by the window was our preferred seating.
We went to Jula's on the Potomac to celebrate a 21st birthday. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Everyone we encountered was upbeat and gave us many smiles. I highly recommend a visit to Jula's.
Our server, Sam, provided excellent service. He was attentive enough but not bothersome, nor did we have to seek him out. The quality of the food is much improved. We will definitely return to dine again.

This was our first time at this restaurant. But certainly it will not be the last. Annie was I server she was exceptional! We were celebrating my 74 birthday enjoyed every moment.
As always Jula's has a great ambiance and service. I found that this time I received less of a portion than I got in my last visit. That's the the only change from perfect.
