Eloquent atmosphere, friendly graceful and respectful server, delicious food and drinks- mint infused tea is a must try for non -alcoholic drinkers, but the mint julep - best cocktail ever! My daughter chose this restaurant for her 25th birthday dinner and we were thrilled from the cheese tray starter to the bananas foster dessert finish. Hands down best dinner out experience we’ve had in a very long time. More...

Food and cocktails are really good. Atmosphere is cozy and fancy feeling. We had a big group and the staff did great by us, getting us fed and out the door in time for a show at the Carpenter Theatre.

We’ve been going to Juleps for years. The food is always delicious and the wait staff are wonderful! Recently diagnosed with Alpha gal and dairy allergies it’s a challenge even at home. The waiters and kitchen staff have been so accommodating!! The chef is always willing to tweak my order and work around the allergies. We are regulars and it’s because of the consistent good food and service. Thanks everyone!!! More...

Made reservations to celebrate my dad's Birthday! It was our first time there, and everything was fantastic! The reviews on their bar were spot on, the drinks were excellent! ! The food was delicious, the desserts to die for, and out waiter was nice. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because my mom ordered the shrimp and grits entree, and she was only able to eat the grits because the shrimp were extremely spicy!! I should have assumed being a true Southern place that entree would be spicy, but maybe it would be an idea to indicate it on the menu for guest to know before hand. Mom's mouth was entirely blistered the next day, and remained that way the entire week, but she did say that minus the spiciness her dish was very good! Lol More...

Right from substituting oil for animal fat for frying to removing meat from their dishes. The service was great and the food was delicious. We got 5 appetizers and everything was excellent. My seafood loving friends enjoyed the fried oysters. The wine selection is vast and not as pricey. I skipped dessert but got an extra corn bread cause they were sooo delicious. More...

Great business casual restaurant on E Grace St. Plates in the low $30s and worth the wager. Top notch bar selections. Try the dry-aged New York strip! Ask for Derek!

Nice place to go to relax. Bartender was awesome and served drinks that were well made. Only 1 TV is available here so not the best place to go to for watching sports while having a drink. Happy hour prices were fairly good! More...

There are a lot of great places to eat in Richmomd, but this was one of the best experiences I've had in a while. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. The decor is perfect for a night out or a business dinner (as was our case) and the food and drinks are inspired and delicious. I was overwhelmed by the options on the menu and have a habit of letting the server pick for me in these scenarios. He brought me the duck, which I would not have picked, and it was the best duck I have had. Anywhere. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend. More...

Our party of 5 called last minute on Saturday at 8 and they were able to get us a reservation for 8:15. We were greeted, seated and our waiter proceeded to review the menu thoroughly, making each dish sound as mouthwatering as the previous. Our meal at Julep’s was one of the best we’d had in a long time! The sturgeon special was AMAZING! Can’t wait to go back and try the bananas foster! And we WILL be back! More...
