Julep's New Southern Cuisine

Food was very good, but the service outstanding, Adam our server for the evening was knowledgeable, personable and attentive. We were the only one there with a kid and he made our son feel right at home, and us comfortable having brought him along for date night. We will be back soon. Have to bring Waylon back for another banana fosters class.

The staff were welcoming and helpful. All three people we spoke with recommend the crab cakes. We decided to split one to taste it, but were ultimately entranced by the duck. Cooked to perfection and enjoyed every bite. The bartender tempted us with the pecan pie, which we couldn’t resist. It was incredible. Delightful experience.

We visited here on our pop up bar crawl. Juleps has been heavily marketed on socials as a holiday pop up. While the atmosphere is great and the decorations are really pretty and classy, they are not pop up level. It still gives plenty of holiday vibes and we enjoyed our visit.

I had the Nieve Amarillo holiday cocktail. I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10. It was good and had all the right components but balance was off a bit. Might need a little more fig to tame the mezcal. It was still a solid beverage. My friend had the Rudolph ain’t no mule which was supposed to be a salted caramel mule. It was good but tasted like a regular mule to me…there was some caramel on the rim so maybe that was the intent. Not sure. Again,right components but maybe not mixed quite so.

We also had she crab soup which was AMAZING..just a bit cool. Would have been a 10/10 if served warm.

Our server was fantastic….very informative and personable. I’d love to come back here for a full meal sometime.

I came to Julep for my anniversary. It sucked. The appetizer was good and the dessert was good, but my shrimp and grits entree was disgusting. It was so bad that I spoke to the manager. Instead of working to make our experience better we got into a conversation about how it’s suppose to be New Orleans inspired and it’s not a Jambalaya. I agreed and told him the tomato sauce tasted like tomato paste. No extra dessert, no candle, no discount for the bad entree. The waiter at the end told us happy anniversary. It was anticlimactic…not special. I won’t be back. I don’t recommend Julep.

What a fabulous meal at Julep's last night! I was treated to a birthday dinner by a friend and we chose to visit during Restaurant Week. From the moment we set foot in the door, everything was perfect. We sat at a window table that was lovely, had perfect service from all staff, and enjoyed the most wonderful dinner! From wine to dessert, the meal was served with flawless timing, beautiful plating, and overall exception presentation. C'était si bon!

The service provided by Adam was exceptional. He read the menu like a poet. However, his words didn’t live up to the outcome - both the PorkChop and both sides of the Duck Duo were dry.
Their cornbread - served to every table, tasted adjacent to Jiffy corn muffin mix.
There was no real flavor other than cheese and balsamic in the ham ravioli appetizer.
As far as Richmond institutions go, I’d rate this one as skippable.

The food and service is so amazing, but why did I see a ghost walking around the place. It kept whispering to me talking about how he was gonna take me away. I don't know if they are playing a prank, or some TV show, but I'm never going there again. Shrimp and Grits 10/10 though.

The interior of this restaurant reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona, even down to the layout and overhead lighting. Since I was dining solo I sat at the bar. Service was prompt and efficient. I had the fried oysters as an appetizer; they were good but not great. A small bottle of prosecco was a nice enhancement though. For mains I wanted the grilled whole snapper, but they were out. Instead I had the filet mignon with potato gratin and roasted Brussel sprouts. The filet was very tender and favorably and the roasted sprouts were an excellent complement. A Nice glass of Oregon Pinot Noir added the finishing touch. This restaurant deserves a visit if one is in the Richmond area.

I had a marvellous time ..a dinner for one at the bar. .one may dine outside or little tables or in the rear..had an entire fish! a bronzino.head and tail. with lovely staff..

Everything about this restaurant left us glowing with satisfaction. We dropped in to take a look at the menu and our (future) server Tony introduced himself and describe a few of his menu favorites while we enjoyed a drink at the bar. One thing led to another and pretty soon were were outside on their patio with Tony serving us an awesome dinner.
