    We had lunch with friends and the ambiance of Jula's is very conducive to socializing. The tables are well spaced. It is very comfortable and beautifully furnished and the view of the Potomac River is lovely. The food and drinks were excellent. Great menu with lots of choices.

    One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.

    The food, service and atmosphere were all first rate, but the restaurant was relatively full and the noise level made it difficult to hear quiet conversation so we had to speak up at our table of four

    What can I say, this place on Sunday was extremely energetic. I suppose it was the Omegas founders day, but still I loved the atmosphere and the music selection. The food was a 10/10 especially the jerk chicken, fall off the bone good literally the salmon was excellent, but had a lot of seasoning. I can definitely see myself coming back with either a small party or a large one. Our waiter,Josh, was amazing and took care of us throughout our brunch session.
