    This was our first trip to Julii and we had a wonderful experience. Service was quick, friendly and professional. We have the evil eye cocktail and a French 75 - both were delicious and well balanced. We had 4 food items and all were delicious but the Crispy Trout stole the show. The presentation was beautiful and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had at a restaurant, ever. I feel the portion sizes were generous and well worth the price tag. We can’t wait to go back!

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there last night. We met on a blind date there fourteen years ago. We no longer live in the area but happened to be back for the holidays. So we returned to Cage Renaissance with fond memories. We were thrilled to confirm that Cafe remains the wonderfully beautiful, romantic, great food and service restaurant we remembered. Northern Virginia is very fortunate to have such a perfect place to dine.
