   I noted that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and it wasn’t acknowledged. What’s the point of asking the question?

   Was disappointed this time for Sunday Brunch. Lukewarm food, from eggs to potatoes to biscuits (butter wouldn't even melt.) $10 mimosa that was just a glass of orange juice with a splash of champagne, bloody mary served in tall cocktail glass was light orange and mostly ice . Server was nice, so tipped her 20%, but I just found quality sorely lacking. Loved the place before now.

   They were out of half of everything we ordered. That’s understandable at this time but we ordered appetizers and they never came out. When our food came out an hour later it was good but nothing great. I ordered ice tea and it was awful. It was dark and cloudy and looked like it was old. I tasted it and it was horrible. We were there for lunch and it took us 1 1/2 hours. They never apologized for not bringing our appetizers out.

    Had a table next to us with 3 kids yelling, playing hide n seek, climbing on the tables, chairs and booths, even running around. The parents DID. NOT. CARE. and the staff didn’t say anything everyone around us was beyond frustrated. Plus the pasta was slightly undercooked, maybe on purpose, I don’t know. The portion was tiny for the price though. And mine tasted like they put loads of ground pepper on it. The cheese board we got, sadly was the biggest let down. 3 quarter sized pieces of cheese and a couple pieces of 3 meats, then some like fruit, for that price…??? Yea this place is not at all worth the value I’m sorry.

    I've been to Josephine Estelle prior to the pandemic and found it excellent. On this visit, the waiter didn't know anything about the wines, couldn't find the bottles I requested, and then brought me a bottle from the by the glass list telling me it was in the same price range as those I requested. I did get to sample it and it was fine. However, it turns out the bottle was $80 and I was looking at bottles at $60-$70. Moreover, when he opened a new bottle to serve the table he used the same glass for me that he used for the sample. He should have brought a new glass. The waiter was polite and fine in other matters, but he is clearly not trained and that is the fault of management, not the waiter. The pastas my party and I ordered were okay, but they were served with grated cheese already on them. I've never seen this done at a respectable Italian restaurant. Cheese is always grated at the table. The fettuccini was too thick and apparently packaged and not freshly made. I make a better meat ragu and better pasta noodles. The deserts were excellent. Overall, it was a disappointment. The restaurant has declined and I won't return.

    Josephine EstelleResponded on September 10, 2022Hi JosephK, Sorry for the unfortunate experience that you had made with us. We always strive to work hard so that our guests don’t have to. Your concerns have been forwarded to the corresponding Teams and hopefully we can welcome you again in the future.

    I used to LOVE this place. The food has gone so far downhill and so has the service. The menu is tiny. The cheese plate used to be amazing and now comes out on a regular plate rather with three small chunks of cheese I could have bought at a grocery store.

    Food was disappointing. Four people, four different dishes, none would be ordered again. Server tried to rush us even though the restaurant was empty and we’d already told her we were headed to the game (wouldn’t be hogging the table once dinner crowd came in). Will not recommend or return.

    Great ambiance and service. I loved my cocktail- East of Venice. It was refreshing and light. The food menu seemed a bit limited. I chose the spaghetti with gulf shrimp. Pasta was delicious, but the shrimp was very salty. Desserts were great- especially the peanut butter bundido.

    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.
