Julep Kitchen Cocktails - Halifax

This was our first visit to this restaurant, and we absolutely loved it! The layout and atmosphere were fantastic, making it perfect for any kind of date night. The cocktails were excellent and skillfully crafted, and the shareable dishes were perfect for a large group. There were plenty of main course options to satisfy everyone's tastes. The service was very attentive, and they made sure to inquire about any allergies or dietary restrictions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

Next, we tried the oysters, which came with a spray bottle of bourbon—a fun touch that complemented the other condiments perfectly. My partner ordered the four cheese gnocchi, which was good but not exceptional. The gnocchi itself was well-cooked, and the breadcrumbs added a pleasant crunch, though the sauce was a bit too rich and could easily be overwhelming. I opted for the pork belly, which was also quite tasty. Similar to the gnocchi, I felt there was a touch too much sauce; serving it on the side would have allowed the pork belly and greens to shine a bit more on their own. We concluded our meal with a delicious lemon and blueberry cheesecake, which had a wonderful texture. The lemon flavor was just right—not overpowering, as it can sometimes be. The staff were fantastic and attentive, and the view from the patio was stunning. We will definitely return to sample more appetizers, especially the tuna tartare cannolis, which looked particularly tempting. Thank you for a lovely evening!

I will definitely return to this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks were enjoyable, and the food was delicious. They even served an amuse-bouche before our dinner, which was a nice touch. We tried the fried chicken special, duck confit, and "dirty rice," along with a mint julep and a custom cocktail. I would recommend the mint julep only to those who really love bourbon!

Some of the best mussels I've had, hands down. We came here pretty late for a small bite to eat and saw mussels were on the menu. We ordered the mussels and fries and they were so so delicious. Really good portion size, even shared between two people. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come here again and order the same thing but next time mussels x2. Highly recommend!

The experience was nice. The plating was very beautiful. We ordered the gnocchi and jambalaya. The gnocchi was a little too soft. But everything else was delicious. I loved the personalized cocktail option.
