    Great birthday dinner with friends. They placed us in a nice, quiet area/table and even offered to turn down the music (we were in the back) so we could hear and talk! From mini cornmeal muffins with butter and pepper jelly to She crab soup and crab cake then chocolate torte dessert we all enjoyed our dinner! Lovely atmosphere and decor!

    We came here for my fiancés birthday. It was also our first time. They had the cutest card ready with all these Jeep ducks and even a little Jeep toy car. I could not believe it!! They asked me prior to arrival what his likes were and they created a personalized experience for us. We got the Prime Rib for 2… for $65 I thought it was an incredible deal. We couldn’t finish it all. The food was incredible, our waitress was incredible and the ambience was perfect. Highly recommend!!!!

    The atmosphere at Julep Farm was amazing...soothing and comforting, and service was amazing. My server Melissa and bartender Brice went above and beyond, patiently answering all my inquiries and making every effort to accommodate my requests (quote from Melissa when I asked if I could get a side Caeser salad not on the menu: I can make it happen, I work for you! :)). The trout was seasoned to perfection and my cocktail was delicious and crafted with care. I can't wait to go back on Thanksgiving and taste all of their amazing dishes on the buffet! This is my new favorite restaurant.
