    “The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.”

From start to finish, Jula's on the Potomac delivered an experience that was thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. Five stars without hesitation. My wife will never forget her 50th Birthday celebration brunch. Bishop Avery Kinney Sr. will be back—and bringing everyone he knows. It was worth the drive from Richmond. ❤💯”

    “Truly a hiddent jewel south of Old Town Alexandria. If I had been blindfolded and didn't know that I entered the establishment via the parking lot of Belle View Shopping Center I would have thought I was in an upscaled restaurant in downtown DC. This has become our favorite date night spot. Delicious food options and creative cocktails along with exceptional service (Brett) made our evening one to remember. I love a well made Old Fashioned and I wasn't disappointed. The secret ingredient of the quarter branch apple brandy took it to next level. We are looking forward to our next date night already!”

I discovered it about a year ago and get take-out every month or few months for a cozy Friday night, and the food has been consistently great every time. They're generous with their portions, and they're also really accommodating with the little extra requests I make. My only complaint is how staggeringly expensive it is ($20 for pad thai, before extras, and you pay an addition amount for basic proteins). But, overall they're awesome!”

    “It is a nice bar with good quality drinks. The weird part was that we had to wait quite a long time at the door and then were told to wait more until our reservation at 9pm. While we waited 3 other couples came in and were turned away as they did not have reservations… one couple was told to come after 45min. Then when we entered at 9pm the place was half empty with many free tables 🤷🏻‍♀ I guess they don't need clients and felt bad for couples who were told to leave despite being half empty…”

    “We had such an amazing experience at Casa Luna! Brian and Sammie were absolutely incredible and truly made our night. Brian took care of us for most of the evening, and he is seriously SO cool, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. What really stood out was the time they took to walk us through their top-shelf tequila collection and this wasn’t just pointing out expensive bottles. They actually taught us how to properly taste and appreciate the tequila, what flavors and notes to look for, and what made each one unique. They gave us the same experience with bourbon, and you can tell they genuinely know and love what they do. Their collection is INSANE, and getting to learn about it from people who are so passionate and knowledgeable made the experience that much better. Brian especially made us feel so welcomed and never rushed the experience. He took his time explaining everything, answering our questions, and just hanging out with us. It felt less like sitting at a bar and more like getting a private tasting experience with someone who really knows his craft. Sammie was amazing as well, and together they created such a fun, intimate, memorable experience. We will absolutely be back. If you go to Casa Luna, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar and if Brian and Sammie are working, you are in VERY good hands. 10/10 experience! 🥃🍸✨”
