    I reserved a table for 11:00 and we got there just to stand around until I finally asked if we could have a table. Service took forever and their last call is at 11:15 despite closing at 12:00. The decorations were so cute and the drinks were fine but service wasn't good.

    We had a waitress but she barely came by. One of the waiter was very good and came and took our drinks and was very nice. We didn’t get his name. He was a tall black gentleman. He was attentive and it was busy but he made sure we had our drinks. The manager came and pretty much tried to kick us out saying we only had 20 mins left of our reservation and we didn’t like that. We spent almost $500 to be told ok your time is almost up. I wouldn’t be back bc of that.

    I have been coming to your bar since you opened and I have been constantly impressed by your attention to detail. Last night, we celebrated my son's birthday, and once again, you outdid yourself. Thank you for making an evening we will never forget.

    Our server, Ezra, was really nice and helpful with choosing a holiday cocktail. He would check on us often and was overall very nice. The vibes during the holiday season are 10/10!!!

    Great Christmas bar. Great cocktails and atmosphere. Our table of six had a 1.5 hour limit which is completely understandable given the season. However, insoluble reccommend ordering any food early. It took almost 45 minutes for the food to arrive. Not ideal in light of the time limit.

    Service during the holiday season wasn’t great. They took a while to let us order drinks and took a long time to come back after we had finished our first drinks. Someone also came to usher us out after an hour a half despite the fact that the food we ordered never got there. Usually love Julep, but this experience was disappointing.

    We were seated at our table and no waiter came by. After 20 min of waiting one of us went to the bar to order drinks. There was an available seat she sat in and the manager told her she couldn’t sit there. She explained we had been waiting 20 min and a server hadn’t been by our table yet. So she then stood next to the available bar seat and the manger told her she couldn’t stand there either. We got up and left and that’s when the manager realized she was being honest that we had a table and no server. He offered a round of shots. Too little too late. It was unnecessary for the manager to be a jerk.

    Julep is normally a great bar and deserves their Michelin rating. But for the most part they really suck. They don’t honor table reservations who would quite feankly spend much more money. And they just don’t honor the reservations They made. I would wait a month for a reservation as long as someone said it was good To me.
