This was the first time we had visited this place, safe to say we loved it! The layout and ambiance was amazing, great for a date night of any kind! The cocktails are amazing and well made, the shareable options were great for a large group and the mains had enough options for everyone! The service was really tentative and asked about any allergies or dietary restrictions! Overall, the experience was amazing and would recommend!
Came back to Julep after having a disappointing experience for brunch about a week ago. I'm glad we did as the food and service this time around were very good.
My partner and I started off with the cauliflower tacos, which were *excellent*; the cauliflower was still firm but not too hard, and the combination of tahini dressing and slaw added a welcome sweetness and acidity to the dish. We also had oysters, which came with a spray bottle of bourbon - very cool and went well with the other condiments.
My partner then had the four cheese gnocchi, which was pretty good, but not amazing; while the gnocchi was cooked very well (and the breadcrumbs added a nice crunch to the texture), there was a little too much sauce, which can be overwhelming given its creaminess. I had the pork belly, which was also quite good. Again, there was slightly too much sauce - I think it would have been even better if the sauce was served to the side so that the greens and pork belly could stand on there own a little more.
Finally, we finished off strong with the lemon and blueberry cheesecake. Great texture and we appreciated the lightness of the lemon as it can often be overdone. Staff were fantastic and attentive, and the view from the patio is beautiful. Will be coming back again to try more of the appetizers as they all seemed delicious - especially the tuna tartare cannolis.
Thank you for a nice evening!
Will definitely be back here. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were good. Food was delicious, they brought out an amuse bouche before our dinner which was nice. We tried the fried chicken special, the duck confit and 'dirty rice' the mint Julep and a personalized cocktail. Would only recommend the mint Julep to those who reaaallllyyyyy like bourbon lol.
