The Story of Josephine’sThe story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

    We always love coming to The Exchange! Celebrated my friends birthday and they even gave her a glass of champagne to celebrate. Service was a little slow, but that’s probably because they were busy. Food was amazing no matter what you order. Always a great time there!

    Amazing food. This absolutely has to be noted. The food was delicious. The service was over the top… Our waiter was incredible…kind, respectful, humorous…the service was everything that we had hoped it would be. Now we come to the ambience… The restaurant has been moved into an open area on the 2nd floor. It looks nothing like we expected. Additionally, the air conditioning was out (and had been for days) which limited several menu items (both main dishes and desserts). The staff did what they could to make their customers comfortable (resetting the thermostat every hour…and there was a fan nearby blowing toward us). This was the first visit for myself and my partner… We really looked forward to this experience, and I knew that I would be paying quite a bit of money for this. I honestly wish the restaurant would’ve been forthcoming and called ahead to let us know that both the restaurant had moved and that there was no air conditioning, and thus would create limits. It made a quite a difference in the overall experience and seemed selfish and a bit dishonest. But then again, there was that amazing food.
