This is my second time dining at Jula’s. It’s becoming one of my favorite restaurants. I love the ambience. The food is delicious and the pricing is very moderate, especially for the drinks. It was a little noisy this day as there was a group having a holiday party in the private section of the dining room. The music was loud and the hostess was shouting out line dance cues. It was hard to carry a conversation at my table.

It was as usual, delicious ! Wonderful holiday celebration with old ( literally and figuratively ) old friends . Such attentive service , where waiter ( John) notice that last couple of our party was coming and he opened side door so they wouldn’t have to walk so far ! That was so kind and attentive . Also somehow he knew who was with whom and did separate checks without any of us having to ask !! Made a typically awkward situation disappear ….. and being the only single one , sincerely helped ! Thank you. … we all appreciated it ! Ada’s is wonderful , John was great … but still miss Chris and Rock :)
