Jula's on the Potomac, formerly known as Cafe 44, offers a fantastic waterfront balcony view and delicious food. The restaurant creates a special experience from the moment guests arrive, with thoughtful and refined dishes. The ambience is always lovely. The food and beverages are good, making it worth a visit just for the meal. The fixed price menu for restaurant week was disappointing for some, with a first course missing ingredients and a pasta dish with limp, overcooked pasta. However, other restaurant week meals featured a delightful shrimp & watermelon first course, incredible gazpacho, delicious cornribs, delicious beef shorts ribs, and creole shrimp linguini. Desserts did not disappoint, with incredible butterscotch cheesecake and citrus olive oil cake. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the wait staff was excellent, even when entrees were delayed because of a back up in the kitchen. Quintin “Q” was a great waiter, attentive, quick, and filled with recommendations. Tropical Mojito and Peach Bellini were good drinks, and the Caesar and Duck rolls were good starters. The restaurant can become overwhelmed during busy times, leading to long waits for drinks and courses. Parking must be paid for without validation. Despite some challenges, many guests have expressed their desire to return, highlighting the excellent food and the enjoyable experience.
