My sista-friend and I had reservations there at 5:30pm before the Brian Culbertson show at the National Theatre last night. (Side note: He was awesome as usual!!! ) So, we researched restaurants ahead of time as we were traveling in from Virginia Beach/Chesapeake. Our desk clerk at Marriott also recommended Julep’s. Thank God the Hotel shuttle dropped us off because parking near the restaurant is scarce, but we could have walked there from the Marriott. A huge shoutout and thank you to our amazing waiter Kareem for his outstanding customer service ( friendly, efficient and professional) as well as his spot-on menu recommendations and ensuring we were out the door on time for our Brian Culbertson show!!!❤️ I had the Beef Short Ribs, and no knife needed! My sister got the NY Strip, med and cooked to perfection (juicy and pink). We loved our wines, white zif, and pinot noir. I would have given a five, but as a Chef myself, I feel the soup should have had more crabmeat, or it should have been carefully folded in to maintain the lumps and make them more visible. They also could have garnish with some crab as well, but the soup flavor was delicious. Our fried green tomatoes were actually fried too hard, but the pimiento cheese served with it was a nice surprise as I am not fond of pimiento cheese. The decor and ambiance were very inviting. It was moderately crowded with minimal noise, so overall, it was a great experience, and thanks to Kareem, we will definitely return!!

I can give this place 3 stars. First of all the service and atmosphere was impeccable! We came for a private rehearsal dinner and enjoyed the cocktail hour and 3 course meal. The only thing I do not prefer would be the parking and location. I did get a parking ticket and would have preferred better parking available

Cute little upscale restaurant. The food was great and you could tell they use high quality ingredients. I will say I think it’s a total bummer that you can’t swap your entree side for another one. The only option is to order the side a la carte. If you’re going to charge me $35+ for an entree alone, I would hope that I’d have the ability to pick a side of my liking. The crab cake was good, but I wished for more of the remoulade. Only got a tiny amount on my plate. The grit cake had really good flavor, but a little too salty for me. I don’t know if I’d return for the dinner, but would definitely come to the bar and have cocktails.

Such a good place to come for dinner for a special occasion! We had the crab cakes and New York strip and fried oysters as an app. Every was perfect and portions were fair. Dustin our waiter was amazing! Only thing was my drink was a bit weak and was mostly ice so I stuck with wine the rest of the night but other than that, I have 0 complaints.

Had a great first experience here! Immediately sat at the bar and was promptly greeted. Holly the bartender provided us with drink recommendations that fit what we were looking for, and they were amazing! We also got the she crab soup which was really tasty. Had a wonderful time socializing at the bar and having top notch service. Looking forward to coming back!

If you are looking for the perfect rehearsal dinner spot, stop looking right now, and book Julep’s New Southern Cuisine! We knew we wanted to host our rehearsal dinner in a place where we could reserve a large space not only for dinner but also for a Wedding Weekend Welcome Party. When we reached out to Julep’s to inquire about booking our event, Amy was extremely prompt and excited to host us! Amy and Ty were awesome to work with throughout the whole planning process – coordinating the dinner selections, the bar selections, hors d’oeuvres, and and a time for us to set up decor before our event! Our event was honestly flawless. The food was incredible (if you’ve ever eaten dinner here – you know); our guests raved about each and every course. Throughout our event, the staff were attentive and polite to all of our guests; not a glass was empty the entire night! We cannot thank Amy, Ty, and Julep’s for their hospitality and for hosting our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Weekend Welcome Party!

Spent a night in Richmond and wound up here. Glad I did. Everything was well done from food to drinks and I especially appreciated the service. Everyone on staff knew their stuff and was friendly and attentive. I especially appreciate the bartender Adam who gave me too much of his time. Great spot!
