    Crabcake  Benedict
    Ssw W.

    Everything was absolutely delicious! I ordered the surf and turf breakfast, and every bite was amazing. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and cooked to perfection, the steak was incredibly tender, the café potatoes were flavorful, the grilled shrimp were cooked just right, and the crab cake was perfectly crispy on the outside while tender and packed with flavor on the inside. Everything was seasoned perfectly. My guy ordered the crab cake Benedict with a side of cheese grits, and he loved it. The Benedict was delicious, and the cheese grits were creamy, rich, and full of flavor. From the quality of the food to the perfect seasoning, this was an outstanding breakfast. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal! One thing to note: the restaurant does add a service fee, so just keep that in mind when you receive your bill.

    The food here is top notch and amazing. The service is great as well. Lee is fab x 10. Bottomless mimosas are amazing.

    Phenomenal brunch experience on a Friday morning with my hubby! I specifically came here because I wanted scrambled eggs and they have the best in town. I got the Go Jags plate which included two scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage link and a biscuit and gravy! Everything was made to perfection, eggs were soft and fluffy and the biscuit was made from scratch. My husband got the Family Affair which is a crispy chicken biscuit sandwich with gravy and scrambled eggs with a side of fruit. My husband demolished his meal. Our waitress, Sharricka, was so swift and attentive. We will definitely be coming back!

    Tulua Bowl made hot and fresh

    I had an early morning appointment that ended before I had to start work, so I decided to treat myself to a weekday brunch - a rare opportunity for me. I'm so glad I decided on Tula Bistro! There was lively music playing and it was a great vibe inside. I sat at the bar and was helped by Brian, who was amazing. I ordered a coffee and the Tulua Bowl. The coffee was hot and fresh, and the bowl was cooked very well with fresh ingredients. The grits in the bowl did not have a lot of flavor, however the fresh toppings definitely helped and made it a solid dish. Overall I had a great weekday brunch and the vibe from the music and Brian sent me off to work in an upbeat mood.

    5 stars again!! Our food was great!! We love Tulua Bistro!! We had a taste for some good brunch, so we checked Yelp and Tulua came up, the ambiance was amazing, the music was good, we love art work on the walls. The service was good, our server was great. We will be back.

    First off, the welcoming energy was fantastic there were lovely murals of famous figures who were amazing to be around. Secondly the food was fantastic, best seasonings around and the mimosas were very tasty. I recommend anyone to go here for brunch!!

    This was the combo.

    The food was amazing. My server Kriscinda was so good. I would recommend this place. My chicken wings were the best Ive had in a very long time.

    This cute little bistro definitely had some Fun pizzaz to it and the food was delicious as well. Located at Jacksonville Beach 3rd street at the south beach center. Inside- Cute murals on wall and woke culture implemented. I thought the names of the menu items were fun as well. I loved the quote from Ru Paul that states ' If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?! . Menu items such as slutty potatoes, wake and bake, not your basic bi*ch had me chuckle. Food- I ordered the crab cake Benedict. Very delicious! The crab cake was tender and flavorful with the hollandaise sauce and side of grits on an English muffin. The grits were creamy as well. Service was attentive and they answered any questions asked. They also have bottomless mimosas from 8 am to 2 pm. Overall, definitely a fun place to try.

    What a cute brunch spot! Came here with some friends and we got the mystery breakfast platter to share. It had just about everything you could think of for breakfast items, and it was yummy! I would love to try the drag brunch soon!

    Overcooked turkey sausage
    Carm H.

    After looking at reviews online I couldn't wait to try the food. What a complete disappointment. The food was mediocre at best. The biscuits were hard and dried out. After complaining about the 1st one, the waiter brought me another one and it was dry and crumbling in the center. Before I could say anything the customer behind me stopped the waiter and complained about the same thing. He brought her another biscuit as well and I heard her tell him that it was just as bad as the other one. The waiter stated he would advise the kitchen and blamed the biscuits on overheating. The problem is they weren't fresh, they were old. My grits were watered down with no flavor. My bacon was barely cooked and the turkey sausage was overcooked. At 1st I thought it was me, but I heard the customer behind me tell her daughter that it was the worst meal she has had and would need to purchase another meal when they felt. She indicated that the only positive was that her 3 year old daughter enjoyed the pancakes. I turned around and said to her that my meal was awful as well and that I too would have to stop at another location for food. To add insult to injury, this place adds 18% gratuity to all checks regardless of the size of your party. I did not realize it until I got my check. I was told that they place this message at the very bottom of the menu. I missed it. Anyway, for the price of the food you can eat at so many other breakfasts places. I'm headed to faithful Metro Diner. Also, the wait time for food was ridiculously slow. There were only 4 customers beside myself and we all walked in at the same time. By the time I received my food, the 1st two customers had eaten and were leaving

    Inside

    We came during the week so the vibe isn't as lively however the service never disappoints! We had Kriscinda as our server and she was beyond amazing. She made the drinks also! Whatever we needed she accommodated us. Her vibe was very kind and friendly. We'll be back for sure !!!

    Ask the Community - Tulua Bistro

    Do they take reservations?

    No - you have to be present to put your name on the list.

    How many people will the large breakfast board feed?

    I would say easily 6 to 8 adults . When I went there only four of us and there were a lot of leftovers.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    Yes! Last time we checked.

It was fun to see the fresh caught fish in a display case on the way to order. At the end of our visit I chatted with one of the staff and she was super friendly to this out of towner. I personally had one of the specials - Cobia grilled with teriyaki glaze and mango salsa and fried okra instead of fries. The fish was cooked perfectly, not dried out, the flavor combination was well balanced. The okra was plentiful and, while I prefer cornmeal batter (Cracker Barrel style), this batter was seasoned just right and cooked to a nice golden color. I noticed that even though everything has a fried option, the restaurant didn't smell greasy or fishy. My husband had a fried chicken sandwich that he enjoyed and my nephew had a cheeseburger that looked delicious too. No one walked away hungry or disappointed today. Only thing I missed was trying dessert, but we headed out just before it got busy with the dinner crowd. I would definitely eat here again and recommend to friends!

Though it was briskly busy for Sunday service, the ambiance remained thoroughly pleasant and impeccably maintained. We were seated toward the back of the establishment, offering an utterly magnificent, unobstructed view of the river. To begin, I selected a crisp Corona Extra with a fresh slice of lemon, while my assistant opted for a fine beer. For our luncheon, we ordered a platter of raw oysters, which were extraordinarily fresh, perfectly chilled, and thoroughly divine for a late-afternoon meal. To top off a splendid day, we indulged in a warm cinnamon roll for dessert a delightfully decadent sweet finish. Watching the breathtaking sunset cast its glow over the water made for a truly magical afternoon. Impeccable views, fresh cuisine, and a wonderful atmosphere I shall most certainly be returning!

Another plus was that our server was very friendly and helpful, although he seemed to be having to cover for much of the rest of the staff. At a glance, the restaurant didn't seem understaffed, but they struggled to keep up even when multiple tables had emptied out. The bar and kitchen were struggling, too -- we had multiple issues with wrong items being served, and it took a surprisingly long time to get our food (even with giving a lot of grace for us being a party of 10). Dinner was 2.5 hours without dessert (with the exception of the small, complementary dessert they brought the birthday celebrant). The food was fine but nothing spectacular, and it felt overpriced. I ordered a cup of tomato bisque, which was decent, and a trio of sides for my main course: the Boursin orzo, Brussels sprouts, and pecan green beans. The orzo was pretty tasty, and the Brussels sprouts were quite nice with dried cherries mixed in. Both leaned a bit too salty but not terribly so. The green beans were a total miss: no flavor and arrived room temperature. The server ensured I wasn't charged for them. To drink, I ordered an ube piña colada (which was not strong but was tasty) and a glass of house white. My total for soup, two sides, one cocktail, and one glass of wine was nearly $80 with the 20% automatic large party gratuity included. I don't mind the tip inclusion, but I feel like I paid a hefty amount for food that didn't match the price tag. I'll also note that they have introduced a surcharge for paying by credit card. I really hope they get things sorted out; it sounded like a lot of new staff in place which hopefully means higher aspirations rather than high turnover. It's a beautiful spot.
