| - Coming here on a week day by impulse, I got surprised that it was located right next to Fusaros yet boyfriend and I never noticed it. We were thinking of settling somewhere near Kekou, and thought of Jules as some friends had recently came here for dinner.
Jules Bistro serves French cuisine but in my opinion, I think it's hardly French - more towards the fusion side.
The restaurant setting and layout was almost identical to Fusaros, with limited seating given the space. They had their entire menu chalkboard out near the ceiling, while their tables are wooden and closely placed next to one another. Overall it gave off a pleasant atmosphere for relaxing after work.
I've noticed many people ordered beer with their meats. But being Asian, I ordered a soup de l'oignon (onion soup). I've had numerous onion soups are various restaurants but still never knew what authentic French onion soup is, so I can't be the judge of this. At Jules, the soup was quite thin and soup base was not thick at all. The aroma and onion taste was definitely there alongside onion slices thinly cut. One thing I preferred more of was the cheese content. The more the merrier please! I noticed a large portion lot was stuck at the bottom of the bowl.
We also had the cote de boeuf pour deux. It was amazing! The meat was cooked just right at medium rare, flavour was locked within the steak, and the fat portion was just perfect. You can tell the steak was sauteed well with herbs and salt too. Overall, the steak was nicely done even without sauce.
For this dish, it was accompanied with ratatouille veggie mix, fries, and a house salad. The dressing was just right, yet they still offered additional ketchup, mustard, and some type of spicy mayonnaise that didn't really taste like mayo.
All in all, the service was pretty good. They were nice to provide a new bottle of water without asking and knew to ask about food sharing. As for service, the food came out promptly.
