   We arrived fifteen minutes early and were met with a warm welcome. The service, cocktails and live French music made for a wonderful evening. Authentic food and service that is hard to find these days.

    Excellent food. Loved the live music and ambiance. We were celebrating a bday and the waiter arranged for the singer to come upstairs and sing happy birthday. A lil pricey as our bill for eight came to $1000 with cocktails and three bottles of wine but it was a great experience nonetheless. Would definitely return.

    Restaurant week lunch .An exceptional value. I had the pate, duck confit which was crispy and delicious . The praline glacé was wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful. Just a feeling of being in Paris. One should not overlook this gem in the theatre district.

    Great night. Food was good Evan though our escargot never came. We had the specials which were NY strip and the black cod w mushroom risotto. The latter was excellent. The steak was very good also. Great ambiance and feel to the place. Definitely will be back.

    What an exquisitely charming bistro that is an absolute jewel box paying homage to Josephine Baker’s Paris. 1980’s NYC bistro inspired by 1930’s Paris style, a time capsule that is a delight amongst many of the cold restaurants of the 2020’s. I brought my mother here to celebrate her birthday after a night at the theatre. We were promptly greeted by the very friendly Mâitre d, who took excellent care of us and got us a great table right in the front window. We had a lovely bottle of wine and a cheese plate to start, then moved on to entrees and dessert…and dessert drinks, and after dinner drinks. Can’t wait to come again!

    Chez Josephine is a throwback, in a good way, to dining from decades ago. But with food that is solid and modern. Most of my party had the halibut special and it didn’t disappoint. The salmon was cooked perfectly and well enjoyed. The ambiance with a piano player was just the right touch

    We went on a Saturday night, and the staff seemed very overwhelmed by the volume. I suspect that they were having labor shortages, and this contributed to a friends atmosphere.

    Wow, wow, wow! I made the reservation for a women's weekend in NYC and dinner before Six. It did not disappoint! The ambiance is wonderful - the art, decor and music create a magical environment. Dinner and drinks were delicious. I had the scallops, my friend had the duck. The pink panther cosmo was a special twist on an old favorite and the wine was delightful. Alfredo was our waiter and he was beyond amazing. We watched how he took care of the customers and scanned the room to make sure everyone was taken care of. He was a delight to talk with as well. I also bought the book, The Hungry Heart, a 500 page biography of Josephine Baker (buy it at the bar but you may need an assist from Alfredo). Would definitely go back - it was the perfect pre-show experience but I won't restrict it for the show experience only! Loved, loved, loved Chez Josephine!

    Impeccable service and food was clean, delicious and top notch. And by clean I mean clean flavors! Beautiful atmosphere with waitstaff that made you feel like you could sit for hours if you wished to. Food came quickly and price was as to be expected for such quality all around. Highly recommend the trout almondine and creme brulee!
