    A welcome addition to the dining options in Bethesda. It has a downtown vibe, was a 7 min drive and easy parking. All 3 of those things make it win even before taking a bite or a sip. Service was very good. It's always a plus for me when the server knows the menu and has suggestions. Marie was spot on with all of her recommendations. We enjoyed our drinks and the food was DELICIOUS! Beautiful plating! The menu options are elevated without being pretentious. We ordered the filet special and the sea bass. The tuna tar tar was excellent as well. The head chef warmly greeted us after our meal. Looking forward to returning to try the new things he has planned.

    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.
