So I just left there I was celebrating my 28th birthday with my husband and it was amazing! If I was on death row I would literally order the captain crunch shrimp for my last meal. Our server John was amazing we already made reservations for my husband's 30th birthday our server was on point the food was on point my husband got the chicken and I got the catch if I could live there I would!

Excellent food. Spinach and artichoke dip a great appetizer (fried pita chips). Chicken was delicious and so were the KY Mares.

Our server was friendly! He was not knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We had 5 at our table, two orders were wrong. The service was off the mark. The atmosphere is very good and we had plenty of time to talk and visit.

So-so but will give it a second chance

We went to shockhoe whisky and wine looking for an upscale place for dinner. My wife had the salmon and shrimp and I had the Cajun pasta. We also had the spinach artichoke appetizer and cheesecake. The food was decent but not amazing - especially for the price. The app was actually really great but entrees were middle of the road and cheesecake was really disappointing. The drinks were tasty...

The quality of the food itself and ingredients were really bad. The preparation was also lackluster. My chicken was extremely dry and cooked from a frozen state. I will definitely not be going here again,

The place has great potential to be a great place to go for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays and etc. It lacks consistency. For the money you spend there you should at least enjoy your dining experience and I did not. Food and drinks were not good and service was slow and the place was almost empty.

My wife and I tried this restaurant with another couple. The restaurant occupies the former Juleps restaurant and has a good location and cool older building.

Our server was sweet but clueless. She was new and also seemed overwhelmed with us and the 2 other tables she had. No utensil, plus apps came out incorrectly. We had to flag down the hostess to bring us some plates and utensils as we could not find our server. Our entrees took almost an hour. The table next to us sat down after us, got their apps and dinner and left before us. 2 of 4 entrees...

They took forever to bring our food! I was waiting for almost two hours to get my food! When the food was brought to our table it took them three times to get it correct. On the menu it said we were going to get mashed potatoes but, it ended up being breakfast potatoes. It was the worse Valentine day experience I ever had!

Not so good experience

I went on Valentine's Day not knowing that the menu would be scaled back. It was a great value !!!!! Appetizer for two, entree for each, dessert for two and a bottle of wine of champagne all at s great price. However, it took us 10 mins to be seated because we had to wait on the host. Once we ordered it took 40 mins to get our appetizer and once that game two minutes later our food came. So...

The restaurant was was a good selection for Valentine's Day but there was only one waitress serving all tables. Food was really good but the prices were a little high. I would definitely go back.

Not exactly what we expected

Average Rating
40

Wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting an upscale dining experience only to enter the restaurant to see a DJ and a turn table. Not my idea of an upscale dining experience. We didn't even stay to try the food because the restaurant was obviously about to turn into a club. Just not our style but for 20 somethings it's probably a good choice. Worth checking out if that's your scene.

Love it!!!

Anytime I travel from Maryland to North Carolina, I stop at this place and order the whiskey wings. They're probably the best wings I have tasted! The cigar lounge is welcoming and offers good quality sticks. I always seem to stay longer than planned. It's one of my favorite spots on the east coast!

The entree was amazing. The ambiance was very downtown with exposed brick and beams. It was very cold when we first arrived , which took away from the ambiance. The macaroni and cheese wasn't anything special, but the sauce on the shrimp/crab meat was great!

I love trying new local restaurants so I was excited to hear that Shockoe Whiskey and Wine moved into the Julep’s former location. Before visiting, I took a look at their menu online and experienced a bit of sticker shock. Appetizers ranged from $12-$18 and the base price for a salad was $12. Adding chicken, shrimp, salmon or steak to...

Our group appreciated the historical significance of the building. The dining experience was one to remember - between the 6 of us, we ordered everything on the Sunday brunch menu and no one was disappointed with their meal. My selection was the continental. The eggs were cooked to perfection with added cheese and onions. The chef apparently has a special recipe for hash brown potatoes because...

I'm thinking the reason they give you all of that water is because it's going to take them a long time to bring what ever it is that you've ordered. After an hour and twenty seven minutes, we still had not received our food or drinks. The manager was informed and NEVER rendered an apology. Needless to say we left without eating, and walked a few blocks over to Havana 59. Service was great there.

I have no idea what the food is like, because after the hostess seated us and gave us water and the menu - we were totally ignored. It was as if we were not even there. After 18 minutes with no acknowledgment from the wait staff we left. The restaurant was not full or crowded. I was so excited about trying the new restaurant in the old Julep site because we love that restaurant ambiance, but we...

Really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, after an hour and 20 mins, all we had at our table was 2 glasses of water, 2 glasses of wine, being told about our appetizer, "they're fixing it now". Took over 20 mins, before our server even came to our table, this after repeated trips past us by her and several members of the waitstaff and management. Sorry for the negative review.

The food is simply AMAZING.

It is great to have the old "Julep" space occupied by another restaurant. Shockoe Wine and Whiskey is an odd name for a restaurant but that aside, this is a decent restaurant. It does feel a bit like an un-aged wine. It has an awkward vibe to it that may improve with time. The hostess and wait staff were competent but not particularly "in to it". The food is certainly good. I will likely try it...
