A word from The Julep Cup
“Kentucky cuisine reaches new heights ... You will be dazzled by traditional Southern cuisine prepared with precision technique… Enjoy fresh seafood, classic presentations of steak, and Southern favorites like shrimp and grits… Sit comfortably in the dining room amid equestrian art and memorabilia; or on the fabulous covered patio… [A] menu is also available in the Seahorse Lounge, along with fine wine, craft cocktails, and mint juleps made the old fashioned way. The Julep Cup is a Wine Spectator award-winner ...”
