   The restaurant is set in the lobby of beautiful hotel in New Orleans. The service was pretty good and although the pasta was Ok it was nothing but just Ok.

   The oyster appetizer was very very disappointing I would not recommend ordering these. Our server was not good at all either, we had another server actually come and fill our drinks and give recommendations on menu items because our actual server was not attentive or knowledgeable. The food was outstanding I really really enjoyed the osso bucco and fettuccini. The lamb was to die for.

   We specifically made the reservation to eat the coolinary menu, and they were already out at our 6:30 reservation. Several other items were sold out as well. Very disappointed.

   Jaime and the entire staff at Josephine continue to provide the best service in the city. On top of that, the food is exceptional -- peanut butter budino is the best dessert in the city.

    Awesome dinner with friends! Our waitress made our experience superb with her personality and attention to detail. My shrimp pasta was delicious as it was the Caesar salad. I thoroughly enjoyed the roasted oysters as well. Thanks for an amazing evening, keep up the great work and we will come back anytime we are in the city!!!

    Great atmosphere with excellent food. The soft shell crab was one of the best I've ever had and the osso bucco was falling off the bone delicious. This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be back.

    Josephine EstelleResponded on July 17, 2022Hello there, I got distracted by "Osso Bucco was falling off the bone delicious" that I almost forgotten why I was typing. From the very bottom of our combined heart: Thank you very much for the beautiful review :)

    The food was incredible. Maw Maw's gravy was the best dish at our table with the meatballs a close second. Everything else was still exceptional.

    Josephine EstelleResponded on July 10, 2022TracyM, The meatballs will be my end someday! They are too good to be legally available. On another note, we are super excited to hear that you loved our Rigatoni!!! Some other dimensional soul-food for sure...

    Food was good, but service was inattentive at best. We were greeted with not a "hello" or name but, "do you want a drink? Waited 15 minutes for a cocktail that another server brought to us. We were not offered any insights to the menu and the one question I asked was answered with, "I like the chicken." We had ordered three small plates one of which we had questions about a garnish but no one ever checked on us until it was time to clear for entrees. Same thing with entrees, no quality check until I stopped the server too ask for a box. We sat next to a dirty table the entire meal, despite being one of just 5 tables in the restaurant. After our meal we were looking forward to dessert and cappuccinos, but when the menu was dropped in the middle of the table unceremoniously we decided we had had enough. We paid and left. We spent $100 a head and were treated with borderline disdain. This is one that will be crossed off the list.

    Arrived early for my reservation but was seated quickly anyway. Loved that! The restaurant is very pretty lots of great seating areas. Service was wonderful. I didn’t like the first cocktail that I ordered so the waitress recommended a new one and brought it quickly with no extra charge. Waitress did an excellent job answering all of questions about the menu. Appetizer was brought quickly. Our entrees were all served together. The food was very good and the portions were a good size. I will recommend this restaurant to others

    I rarely, and I mean RARELY, leave a poor review. But our experience was terrible. I’ve been here before in a large group and had absolutely no complaints. I took my friend for a belated birthday brunch. It started off with a cheery greeting at the hostess desk and sadly went downhill from there. I don’t know if they were having trouble with finding servers that day, but our server was clearly not wanting to be there. I had read an article that stated this was a great place for gluten-free options, but when we asked our server she only offered one dish after a few trips to the kitchen to inquire. Our mimosas didn’t get to us until we reminded her a second time just before our food arrived. The whole experience was just dismal. Disappointed does not begin to cover it. I will think twice before returning, if I do.

    Josephine EstelleResponded on June 5, 2022Hello there, Sorry to see that everything went wrong during your stay. Could you please share more details with us? Also, we do offer a limited amount of gluten-free options throughout all menus, but some dishes are more restrained than others in terms of possibilities. I am sorry that this was lost in translation.

    This was a birthday dinner while out in New Orleans. The food was great, service was really good, and the value was as expected. As your dining, you can hear the soothing strings of jazz, and you get to enjoy this really deep/brooding/romantic ambience. Overall, it was an exceptional evening, and I would definitely recommend.

    Josephine EstelleResponded on June 5, 2022Wowza! Thank you so much for your wonderful and insightful review! Yours truly, BFF

    Quick brunch while visiting the Degas attraction right across the street. Food was OK, service slow and disorganized. Might be that brunch is not the right meal to judge this one on.
