Crispy Brussels sprouts starter was great. Excellent fish dishes (salmon and rockfish). Definitely will be adding to the special occasion rotation!

- DDavidGoldWashington, D.C. Area •169 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA surprisingly quiet Wednesday night at Julia's but service and food were great, as always. The Wedge is a great splitable salad; the Burger was great; and others at my table raved about the pork chop and the Fiocchi. Smoke on the Water is a wonderful cocktail and Mikey was a great server. We've eaten here many times and I'm sure we'll be back there many more times.More infoJula's on the Potomac$$$$• Contemporary American• Alexandria•4.6

- MMichaelaWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 22, 2026I attended a work conference nearby and found this place online. We had the best experience at this location. The evening temperature was perfect for sitting outside, which was the plan, but the are we wanted to sit was occupied. Upon being seated at another table on the patio the group occupying the fireside table immediately invited us to join them. We had the best service and made some new friends as well!More infoBar Harbor$$$$• Contemporary American• National Harbor•3.6
