    Great food served with passion with an engaging owner. Our party had a wide range of menu items and were all great. In fact we were arguing about who had the best :) can’t go wrong here.

    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 :)

    We had a great dinner and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We took our daughter and her friends for her 16th birthday and they made sure to give them a table to see the Christmas tree and they told them to run out on the patio to see the fireworks. Food was amazing! Highly recommend Wagyu Steak Frites!
