New southern cuisine at it's finest. The service was excellent and the atmosphere very good. Fried green tomatoes, oysters, amazing mushroom and burrata cheese salad, seafood...we loved it all. This was the restaurant we chose for completetion of graduate school. Reservations are a good idea. The aroma from the bananas foster was enough to make you order dessert even though... More

I was looking for a nice restaurant in Richmond for a special occasion and Juleps came on my radar. After looking at the menu everything looked delicious so I decided to make a reservation. I was not disappointed. I had the Nelson County Cider and Bourbon Braised Pork Belly and Pan Seared Scallops over Butternut Squash Risotto. My fiancee had... More

The food was absolutely delicious. I was there for a wedding rehearsal dinner, and the food could not have been better! It was a general consensus among the bridal party that you could order pretty much anything and it would be delicious. I had the NY Strip Steak and it was the best steak I've had in a long time....

We moved to Richmond a year ago and have been looking for that special somewhere to go for occasions. Since this week was restaurant week we decided to try Julep's. It was really wonderful. The building is very nice (we were seated upstairs) and the service was excellent. The menu for restaurant week is very restricted but it still gave... More

I just had one of the best meals I've ever had at Julep's. They had a fixed menu for Richmond Restaurant Week. Started out with chilled pea soup with crab and avocado. Not a huge fan of cold soup but the flavor was great. We ordered the sea bass and pork chop and split them. Both were amazing. The risotto... More

We visited during restaurant week, taking advantage of selecting from a set three-course menu that was a great value. We don't have enough experience with Southern cuisine to know, for example, if the fried green tomatoes we ate were truly representative of that dish; all I can say is that we dine out often around the country and world, and...

I had heard good things about Juleps and decided to take my wife there for our anniversary on a Saturday night. I am a frequent traveler and was hoping to experience some of my favorite low country cuisine in my hometown. We had two appetizers that we both enjoyed and that was pretty much the end of dinner. We did... More

Julep's new Southern cuisine is an intersting restaurtant that left me with mixed feelings. Very neat interior with two floors for dining. Set in to supposedly the oldest commercial building in continuous use in town. Very friendly service. Food is interesting mix of fine dining elements with Southern twist but is just doesn't reach the heights. I had the small... More
