| - To start was a really nice setting and I was very pleased with the look of the house Julep drink which I ordered from the bar. Was well made and served quickly. We sat, however, and when we weren't ready to order in the first two minutes were waiting for about 15 minutes until we grabbed a waiters attention to place our orders for drinks and starters. Waited another 10 minutes for our server to show up with drinks.
The menu looked interesting and we found some things we were not expecting. Mole tamales, fried chicken, shrimp and grits. The prices however were not commensurate with the product. $6 for cast iron skillet corn bread and it was okay. Not great, not bad, but for $6 we expected something more.
The rest of the food we got was more of the same, okay, but nothing special and more than we would spend. If everything was 20%-30% cheaper this place could maybe get three stars. The tamale, however, is worth noting was horrible. The mole was nothing like mole's I have had in Mexico, and the creative license taken is not welcome. In short, Julep is not worth the money, particularly with cheaper tastier options within blocks.
