To complement Csotai's new menu, Tula's has also rolled out a wine list featuring more than 60 distinct wines, hand-selected mostly from regions in California, and some from Oregon, France, Italy, Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa. The list also includes Beverly's Private Collection, which is comprised of some of the world's most notable producers.

Tula's contemporary new look includes a 12-foot high arched entryway, which leads guests directly into the restaurant and Decoy Lounge. Frosted glass windows, solid oak tabletops and cozy leather booths evoke the feeling of Old Hollywood glamour for which The Beverly Garland is known. Tula's also offers al fresco dining on the expansive outdoor patio, which overlooks the lush landscaping and beautiful fountain at the front entrance.
