Best Brunch Restaurants in Kensington

Food and service at the Park Potomac location are consistently very good. It was very loud on our visit for lunch today but it was also packed. We probably go about four times a year and have never been disappointed.

My husband and I went here for Valentines dinner and it was delicious! My seafood grits had flavored, fresh seafood packed in every bite and his steak was cooked medium to perfection. My daiquiri drink was refreshing. Ohhhh and the caramel cake, yum! All recommended by our attentive waiter, Eyo. Thanks for the chill vibes and food! We will be back!

Our server Kyle was great. He made us feel welcomed and accommodated.

The crab beignets were a surprise in terms of flavor and quality while the soup of the day--apple and butternut squash with a little dribble of spicy oil was very pleasing. We had the salmon with roasted brussels sprouts/mushroom/onions and the lamb bolognese--both were excellent. Service was great with good explanations of menu items, answers to our questions, and timeliness of attending to our table. It's a very casual place and the noise level was moderate though we were early diners though the place filled at dinner as we were leaving. Have already recommended to others and look forward to a return visit especially to try the chicken and waffles or the shrimp and grits.

Julii is a real gem! The interior is wonderful with much natural lighting. The music was mostly jazz and very relaxing. Not too loud. I started with the Alsacian tartine. The portion was generous and the cheese and fruit (apple?) went well together. Delicious. For my entree, I ordered the lamb tajine and it was delicious with many layers of flavor: apricots, couscous, pine nuts, goat cheese, succulent lamb. The portion was generous and I had to bring some of it home. Our server, Grace, was wonderful. She checked on us at least a couple of times. Service was fast and courteous. I’ll be back to try more of the items on the menu! Overall, my experience was very positive.
