I went to Julep during restaurant week, being a fan of Mint, their sister restaurant in the fan I was excited for what they would have to offer. We started downstair at the bar, which was small but cozy. The wine selection was decent, some great west coast wines were on the list. We had reservation and the hostess waited... More

Met business colleagues for dinner after a long day of meetings. I was surprised how busy the restaurant was for a Wednesday eveing. I was seated and attended to quickly. The waiter was very professional, handsomely groomed and was able to describe the differences in taste between the different types of wines he recommended with the meal. I ordered the... More

Another fabulous dinner at Julep's! 6:30 dinner on a weeknight---not too crowded so we were seated by a window in the corner on the ground floor. While we have sat upstairs before and I enjoy the quiet space up there, it was nice to sit by the window (seemed to be a party upstairs). Our server (James) was very attentive... More

My wife and I had 6:30 reservations on 4/18/13 and once again, we had a great meal at Julip’s. The restaurant is always well run and staffed with very knowledgeable waiters. James was our server this time and he was great – never pushy and always available when we needed him. His descriptions of the dishes were very detailed and... More

Excellent food and service. Perhaps a little pricey - great for a special occasion!!! The fried green tomato appetizer and shrimp and grits were some of the best I've had and my friends raved about the crab cakes and lamb!

My daughter and I made reservations for during the week and still had to sit at a table in the bar. We had a groupon to use or we wouldn't have gone. With the $40 groupon still had to pay $65 for one salad, 2 entrees, one dessert and no beverages! The food was fine but not creative. I had... More

I don't mind a bit pricey but I found 26$ for 5 ounces of grits 6 thinly cut slices of andouille sausage and five shrimp to be ridiculous.

Among the best restaurants in Richmond, VA. Located in what appears to be an old refurbished warehouse. White table linens, attentive service and the food is sooo! good. By Southern I mean not only their fried green tomatoes or shrimp and grits but also, on this particular evening, cassoulet as you would find in the south of France. Very well... More

Went to Juleps for first visit. The atmosphere is very nice - white tablecloths and nice lighting. I ordered fried green tomatoes - the pimento cheese served with them were delicious! I had a shrimp and grits appetizer and it was great as well. The Manakintowne salad was $9 - it was small, not very good and way overpriced -... More

Everything about Julep's was wonderful -- the warm and cozy decor, the friendly yet very professional service, and the great food! Everything on the menu looked so good we relied on our server for suggestions and my husband and I shared the fried oysters appetizer and the roasted beet salad. Delicious! We followed that with the shrimp and grits and... More
