Josephine House

Nice small place. Very good food and service. The pork chops were outstanding

The food was regular.

Outstanding! I brought my parents and grandmother here and everyone loved the food and the service. My grandmother even asked to tell the manager that their restrooms were an "A+"

Think of this as a quiet, romantic meal with incredible food. Highly recommended

Staff was great. Ambiance was really nice. Food was tasty. Bit it was probably 30% too expensive.

Lovely little gem of a place in my hood. I'll be back!

The Sunday brunch menu was fairly limited. However, the food and service were excellent.

Wonderful food and service, charming setting. Only downsides were the noise level and the fact that every time the door immediately behind me opened, which was often as it was regularly used by service staff, I was exposed to a blast of cold air.

I love the ambiance at Josephine House but the food was not that good. My husband had the main course salad which came without the dressing and server forgot the soup. Not really a problem but our food was not very tasty. My frites tasted old and my corn beef sandwich was just ok. Same with my husbands entree. For an $80 lunch for two, unacceptable.

Excellent service and food. Loved the small quaint inside eating area. Also had an after dinner drink at the bar. An easy Uber ride from the capitol area.

The food was very good, as was the service. Very nice outdoor seating.

We had such a great time! The food was amazing. Service was perfect. Can't wait to go again!

We had a girls weekend brunch and it was perfect! Quaint, cute and the best menu. We sat indoors and it’s a little noisy but we would go back in a heartbeat.

We sat outside on the heated patio in a cozy booth with our family and had an incredible night. The food was excellent, especially the burger and steak frites! The cocktails (especially the Pale Blue Eyes) were perfectly balanced and delicious. Our server, Maria, was a UT senior studying bio/chemistry and was delightful and so accommodating. The bar area inside and general decor inside and out are aesthetically exquisite and so warm The outdoor patio, strung with happy overhead lights, was a perfect place for a cozy meal. We loved our entire evening and will return next time we are in Austin!

It took an hour for our food to come out and we ordered a simple sandwich and some sort of pasta. They also got the order wrong and sat us 10 minutes after our reservation

Portion size on pancakes was out of control, it was overwhelming to eat. Nutella bun was yummy. Service was okay, when we asked for a second round of coffee she never came back. Ambience is great, very cozy and I have to say my first experience was much better.

They don’t do breakfast after 10:30 and don’t take reservations until 11am—but we got there a few minutes before 10:30 and they accommodated us for breakfast which I so appreciate.
Chicken and waffles was taken off the menu though which was a miss—and the ricotta pancakes were great but I believe used to have poppyseeds which was better the way it was before.

Josephine House is one of those little sacred jewels which makes a city more special than it would be otherwise. And it goes well beyond that the cuisine is incredibly delicious, the ambiance divine and the service friendly and attentive. This is one of those priceless neighborhood icons which define what is unique about living there in the first place. Brunching at the Josephine House becomes more than enjoying a fine restaurant because it creates memorable experiences worth tucking away and recounting happily in years to come.

Delicious food, charming ambiance!

One of the great restaurants in Austin! Food and team are the best!!

The food was on another level. Extraordinarily delicious. The service was fast and the wait staff so kind! The little house was just as charming as it looks online. I’ll definitely be back!

This is such a lovely spot to meet friends for a get together or to bring people from out of town to visit and experience our wonderful ATX dining options.

Josephine house is my fave restaurant in town. A bit surprised that the steak meat was tough/gristled.

Sister took me here for my birthday. It was soooo wonderful !!!!! Can’t wait to go back!

Got a bit hot in courtyard, outdoor seating, which was the only option for us.

The hostess could not be worst. We had a reservation for a table for 4 adults and 2 babies (1-year old) and we ended up arriving 30min before. We checked in and were told we would have to wait, which we were ok with, even though there were plenty of tables available. After 10-15min the open tables were still open, and despite asking to be accommodated in one of the 4 seats tables (which had more than enough space for 2 high chairs) we were told people make reservations for brunch here with months in advance, so we would have to wait for “our table” to get available. Well, the time for our reservation arrived, I checked again, and I was told I had to wait for my table. I asked if they could not accommodate us in the 4 seats’ table again, as it is hot and the babies had been waiting for were long, and was once again denied. By now, this 4 seats table (alongside a couple others) had been open for 35min. We waited longer and after 20min past our reservation’s time we were still waiting for “our table”. “Our table” finally became available, and as I thought it would finally be ok, the table was under the sun (with poorly positioned umbrellas)! (The 4 seat table was in a complete shade and still available!) Remember, we have 2 tinny babies!!!! Why care for people?

Food was all wonderful. We got the heirloom tomatoes to start (in season, so even better than normal!), the rice bowl, the snapper, and the pork chop. All were phenomenal. Highly recommend. A little bit up there in price, so great for a date, dinner with parents from out of town, anniversary, birthday, etc. Or if you are in the mood for a really nice meal. The patio has a wonderful ambiance.

The food and service was very good! However there was a table of 6 women in the small dining room having a fine time and screaming at each other in their enthusiasm. There is no noise mitigation in that room- all hard surfaces! There were 2 of us at a small table in the same room and we could barely hear each other over the other noise.. I won't be coming back unless the weather is nice enough to sit outside.

I love Jeffrey’s and wanted to try it’s partner and neighbor. It was Monday Steak Frites night. The service was slow and unattentative. The food and menu was delicious, but we were seated by outdoor grill - I recommend avoiding this table.

Great spot for fine dining in a small, quaint atmosphere. Amazing steak preparation when we dined on the Monday "Steak Frites" night.

The food is so good. I'm vegan and they have a delicious and unique bowl that I crave.

Dinner at Josephine's was delicious and the cocktails were outstanding!

Josephine House is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. Their staff is every bit as good as their food. And their food is fantastic.

Josephine House is owned by the Jeffery's people, and is supposed to be a more casual, less expensive version of Jeffery's. It's definitely more casual and super cute - with a great patio for outdoor dining - but it's tiny inside and tables are close together. Waiters have a hard time moving around they're so close. And the prices are HIGH for a 'bistro' style setting. There are no wines on the wine list less than 50 bucks, and we had a salad for 24 dollars that was quite unremarkable. I would not recommend this place for dinner. After hours drinks, sure. Pastries for breakfast, sure. Stop by for dessert, ok. But I've been to dinner three times now, each time a little less impressed. Sorry, the high prices here don't match the scene.

Really enjoyable brunch, try the huevos rancheros...and don't forget a pastry!

Birthday for our son! Excellent overall

Our food was delicious and the service was great. We sat inside by the window, two of us ordered the shopped salad and our other guest had the snapper. I tasted both and both were great. I loved the depth of the broth that was served under the snapper.

Incredible food & atmosphere. Great waitstaff. Try their happy hour!

Josephine House is the cutest restaurant with fresh and quality food. I absolutely love having lunch or brunch here! The service is incredible and the ambiance is top notch. Highly suggest the earl grey cookie!

Father son dinner. Loved it. Burger was extraordinary

Located in an adorable blue house with outdoor shaded seating and marble tables
Bakery items are a must - fresh and delicious!
