Food and service are very good but it was way too loud. My friend and I could barely hear each other. They also had live music, which added to that problem. The noise level really interfered with our experience.

The short ribs were really delicious. I could practically cut them with my fork. And the mezcal cocktail was very good, but I don't think it really needed a jalapeno. The rolls with smoky butter were very good, as was the crab dip.

I’ve been going to Jula’s for a long time, back when it was called Cafe 44, so it’s really a go to spot for me. The food is always good, however, I don’t like that they got rid of the brunch 3-course prefix option. They also now have live entertainment which is nice, but can be loud depending on where you’re sitting.
