Julep Contemporary Kitchen

Had such a great experience at Julep!! The atmosphere is fabulous, the staff is incredible, and the service truly stood out. Our bartender, Russ, was attentive, efficient, and incredibly patient with my unique food and drink restrictions. He also handled a disruptive patron really well… firm, but calm, and respectful, which made the whole experience even better.

When the chef, Johnathan, was alerted to my allergies, he came out to reassure me that my meal would be prepared carefully and properly. That level of care and attention meant so much and made me feel completely comfortable dining there.

Argentina added so much to the night with her hilarious, outgoing personality and quick attention to anything we needed. You can tell the staff genuinely enjoys what they do.

Can’t wait to go back!

Stopped into Julep on a Sunday since a lot of places nearby were closed, and we were really glad we did. The menu looked great for sharing, and the vibe felt like our speed.
The restaurant area was pretty quiet, but the bar was full and lively. Super comfortable seating, and the space has a cool modern-meets-vintage bar feel that works really well for a hotel bar.
We had martinis, beer, and a holiday specialty cocktail, all solid. Huge shoutout to Russ, the bartender, who gave excellent recommendations and clearly knows the menu inside and out. We shared the fried green tomatoes (crispy and delicious) and the baked wings, which were really good and a nice change from the usual fried option.
Even though there was only one bartender and one server, service never felt slow. Russ was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we felt taken care of despite how busy the bar was. Prices were very reasonable, the space was clean and well decorated, and the overall experience was great. Would definitely come back.

Went for brunch and we were the only ones in the entire restaurant yet the service was still mid. No refills and forgot an order of friends which is fine but was just shocked since we were the only other table. $22 for a chicken Cesar salad that is only strips of lettuce, dressing and a tiny bit of chicken. A bit overpriced in my opinion.

Today my husband and I tried Julep Contemporary Kitchen. Overall, the experience was just okay. The appetizers were good, but the main course that my husband tried was disappointing. The ribs and grits wasn’t acceptable the meat had way too much sauce, and he could barely taste the meat. On the positive side, the chicken with sweet corn was good, and we enjoyed the mocktail. However, nothing really was special, so we left feeling underwhelmed.

I hoped it would be as good as I imagined, but it wasn’t…!

We came back to the Hilton after The ECU football game. And the Julip bar was closed. (11:05) Thanks, my friend It would make business sense to be open when ECU has a home game!!

We have eaten here many times and the food is always good. Very clean and nice bar!

I really enjoy each time I am able to enjoy a meal here. Sometimes, hotel restaurants are amazing, and other times they miss the mark. We have had nothing but exceptional service, delicious food, and the occasional live music. The more that we champion the amazing dining experiences that Greenville has to offer rather than making the drive out of town for food, the more amazing dining experiences we will have to choose from!

I stopped by this spot almost every day during my conference in Greenville—and for good reason. Travis and the team absolutely know their craft. The drinks were next-level, especially the Birds In Paradise, which I’ve officially declared my go-to summer drink. Had dinner here a few times too and everything was fantastic. Great people, great vibe, and great food—what more could you ask for? This place and its sister restaurant, Native Fine Diner, are must-visits if you're in town.

This place absolutely hits the spot! The burgers are juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. And the pizzas? Straight fire — crispy crust, delicious toppings, and seriously addictive. Great vibe, great food, and definitely a go-to spot when you're craving something amazing. Highly recommend! Ask for Rachel...🤩

Amanda was amazing she was so helpful with drinks and food orders I was extremely dissatisfied when I found out that I couldn’t buy Amanda a drink either through the night or even at the end of her night I asked she refused and I believe spending the amount of money I spent in honors I deserve to buy a bartender a round please fix this Hilton
