Julep's New Southern Cuisine

Drinks awesome! My food experience...less than stellar. Your experience will probably be better however. I ordered before most other bar patrons had arrived yet my SALAD came out significantly later. I just wanted someone to acknowledge that a problem had happened...as they sometimes do...that never happened. Your experience may differ and will likely be better. I was trying to get to a concert on time with plenty of time to waste, this wasn't my best choice.

I went here on a Thursday night. The bar attracts many people for drinks and the vibe who may not want dinner. There is a significant cocktail and alcohol selection that is very well priced. Despite the white table cloths and high prices, the restaurant feels welcoming enough to walk into off the street. Service is very nice. The cornbread and butter was very good, a highlight in my notes. I had the shrimp and grits the shrimp were nice and large and the grits had a delicious nubby quality with butter. The andouille sausage was nicely cut. I enjoyed the tomato based sauce that balanced the grits. I found the sauce a little too smoky bordering on liquid smoke flavor that I tried to mask with grits. Others may love the high smoke flavor.

We have been lucky enough to enjoy Julep's several times and they never disappoint. I've had the steak, shrimp and grits, crab cake, different appetizers, it doesn't matter, it's all delicious. Our server tonight, Tony, was incredible. He was knowledgeable, courteous, fun, and helpful. This is one of our favorite spots around Richmond, even since 18th Street.

Went here last night for my anniversary and had THE BEST service!!! The food was worth the wait and the drinks were great. Everything was delicious and our server Amanda was amazing!

The service was excellent and the experience was high class. You really wouldn't know from the outside the high quality service and food you get inside. Fairly pricey but completely worth it. 10/10
