I had the crab bisque, it had a hint of hot spice and I could easily have licked the bowl had I been there alone. The shrimp and grits also were killer. Our table of four ordered the banana foster, which is prepared for two but we couldn't finish it. Highly recommended! More

Great location (you can park and not get hit as you might on Cary St.). Attentive servers with a wonderful variety of food. More

Service was absolutely perfect with Noel our waiter providing super insight to the menu and all the selections offered. We started the meal with both of us ordering the crab bisque. The touch of Sherry to the recipe gave it the perfect flavor.For entre's my wife ordered the Pork Shank based on Noel's advice and she was not disappointed. The... More

Juleps is still on the top of our list. Last night we enjoyed a five course chef's tasting and it was like a 5 act play, each dish built on each other. Everything was simply fantastic. Our waiter, Joe, was fabulous. More

Took my parents there for Christmas and wow...fantastic time. The food was amazing, large portions of fresh food, service was classic sophisticated Southern, table-side dessert, attentive and estute staff. The scene inside is cozy but not small, warm and inviting. If you are looking for a place to celebrate in Richmond, go here. More

In town for only one night, we decided to have dinner here after reading other TA reviews. From the start, we knew we were in for a nice time when the hostess informed us we would have to sit at the bar. Wonderful - we always have the best time sitting at the bar and this time was not an... More

Headed out to Julep's early 5:30pm...not a sole in the place so they took us without a reservation, although they made sure to tell us that the only reason they could take us was because it was early.... that bugged me a tad as there was not one person there and the place did not fill up even when we...

Mint Julep with your choice of top shelf bourbon was best I've remember having. Pork Shank and Shrimp and Grits are must try items! I had a birthday dinner with family and received very attentive, well staffed service. Upstairs diners are treated to old school wooden rafters and contemporay decor for great ambience. More

This is a popular restaurant in Richmond's Shockoe Bottom- only open for dinner and not on Sundays. The menu was varied, though one (minor) complaint is that there were not a lot of options for vegetarians. Service is first rate, food is presented well and the bouillabaisse was spiced perfectly. Reservations are highly recommended and plan ahead: we had few... More
