“We recently dined here for a Mother’s Day early dinner and the experience was amazing! From the hosts, to our waiter, and the food…everything was 20/10. Our server was David. He was attentive, informative, funny, and super kind! We were greeted quickly upon coming in and seated for our reservation promptly. The ballroom area has great spacing between the tables and I’d recommend reserving that space if you want to be social but want a quieter experience than the first floor. The food was absolutely wonderful. Everyone’s strip streak was cooked perfectly medium as requested. They have the best crème brûlée that I’ve had in this area. We’re definitely planning to go back soon and requesting the same server!”
“Total 11/10!!! We had a wonderful dinner at Josephine’s last night! The restaurant has such cute, upscale vibes while still feeling cozy and welcoming. Our server, Teo, was fantastic. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave great recommendations that made the experience even better. The food was spectacular—we tried the scallops, the soup of the day (lentil), the French onion soup, and the steak au poivre, and everything was delicious. For drinks, we had the signature spiced pear cocktail and an Aperol spritz, which were both great. Between the amazing food, lovely atmosphere, and spectacular service, we were thoroughly impressed. We can’t wait to come back and dine with Teo again! 🍽️😌”
“Came for my Birthday dinner with friends on Saturday. Despite a mishap with the reservation and seating that began the night a little rough, the lovely manager and staff were very helpful and made everything right, making the experience memorable and enjoyable! I applaud the team for going above and beyond, the service was unforgettable. Not to mention, the food was delicious as well! We ordered the steak tartare, escargot, and oysters for the appetizers and would definitely order them again. My friends enjoyed the steak frites while I got the boeuf bourguignon. A pet peeve of mine is when the frites are an afterthought for the meal, however, these were the complete opposite. Throughout the night, I snuck off my friend’s plates because they were so addictive. For dessert we loved the creme brûlée, typically, I am not a sweets person, yet, this was an exception. The interior was beautiful and the ambiance made it a great environment for the company. We all had a great time. I once again, praise the team for being so understanding and kind. We felt well taken care of and I definitely recommend Josephine’s to celebrate a special occasion!”
“What an incredible experience! The service was outstanding. Our server, I believe his name was Dave, Was so friendly and helpful. He had a lot of knowledge on the menu and the drinks. The place itself is very quaint. Makes you feel like you’re in Europe. This salmon salad was quite delectable. The drinks were some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back!”
“This is a fun restaurant for a special occasion (date night, family outing, etc.). The indoor atrium gives a nice atmosphere day or night. The service is fast, friendly, and attentive! They prepare their steaks and fish very well. The escargot appetizer is also great! The burger was way overdone (not just well done), and the pasta used too much butter and oil, leaving more to be desired. I would want to try some more of their French classic dishes (e.g. beef bourguignon) next time.”
