Julep's New Southern Cuisine

The staff were welcoming and helpful. All three people we spoke with recommend the crab cakes. We decided to split one to taste it, but were ultimately entranced by the duck. Cooked to perfection and enjoyed every bite. The bartender tempted us with the pecan pie, which we couldn’t resist. It was incredible. Delightful experience.

We visited here on our pop up bar crawl. Juleps has been heavily marketed on socials as a holiday pop up. While the atmosphere is great and the decorations are really pretty and classy, they are not pop up level. It still gives plenty of holiday vibes and we enjoyed our visit. I had the Nieve Amarillo holiday cocktail. I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10. It was good and had all the right components but balance was off a bit. Might need a little more fig to tame the mezcal. It was still a solid beverage. My friend had the Rudolph ain’t no mule which was supposed to be a salted caramel mule. It was good but tasted like a regular mule to me…there was some caramel on the rim so maybe that was the intent. Not sure. Again,right components but maybe not mixed quite so. We also had she crab soup which

AMAZING FOOD!!!! Mocktail options for those who don’t drink. Clean and welcoming. I wish there was some art to look at but the food was the star of the evening!

This is truly a 5* Michelin style restaurant. We dined here on a weeknight, and the place was busy. A southern cuisine restaurant also offering a great selection of cocktails/wines. Our only gripe, the booths are solid wood seating, after a while you are wishing for a cushion. (hint, hint) I selected a mocktail, the Pineapple Splash, refreshing. They start the meal service with a homemade Corn Muffin, Yummy. My starter, She Crab Soup, was delicious, well balanced flavors and well prepared. For main course I selected the Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes, definitely freshly prepared and enough to please your palate. We did not ordered dessert but they offer a variety to appease your taste. Cost per person about 75$. I will patronize this establishment again.

First, I have to say it’s restaurant week and that is not always the best week to try a new restaurant. Overall, I liked my dishes and I picked the restaurant because I think they had the most interesting menu during restaurant week. We did walk away a little bit hungry And that might be once again because it was restaurant week and the portions were maybe a little smaller, my partner was underwhelmed by his meal and particularly found the fish fairy salty and found the bread pudding on the smaller side. I thought it was odd that it was served with ice cream. I really enjoyed my drink, and I think the ambience was nice. Our server was very attentive overall.
