Booked 21 times today

The last of its kind near 42nd Street, Chez Josephine is a neighborhood gem founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as a tribute to legendary Josephine Baker. This Parisian bistro offers live piano music and a tantalizing menu in an intimate setting of red velvet walls, a cavalcade of chandeliers and a blue-tin ceiling. Guests receive a warm welcoming and are treated as family whether coming before a show, after the show, for a leisurely dinner in-between, or a drink at the bar.Chez Josephine draws a crowd unlike any other in New York as food critic Bryan Miller noted when he wrote: “The dining room is a confluence of the famous and the fashionable, the infamous and unsung – with every shade of skin on earth – and indeed you feel the magic of Chez Josephine.”

From the greeter at the door to the bartender to the various servers, everyone was extremely pleasant and welcoming. They all looked out for us in a manner that was genuine. The food was also fabulous. We started with drinks and moved on to appetizers, main course, desserts and after dinner drinks. All was stupendous and warrants a return. The noise level was a bit high but there is outside dining in good weather and overall, it is a win!!! Will have to return.
