   First time being at Josephine’s since it opened. We liked Columbia Firehouse, but Josephine’s is better. The place looks much the same. But the food is much better. Service was great. Will be dining at Josephine’s a lot in the future.

   The meal was excellent. The space was well-decorated and very French, with a high ceiling to minimize noise.

   Josephine’s was busy on the Sunday afternoon we went there. Beautiful place. Shockingly bad food! The chicken in my endive beet salad looked like processed meat or overcooked. Salad just tasted like eating salt. My friend’s eggs Benedict tasted completely watery. I was so disappointed because the place had decent reviews. I hope they improve their kitchen soon since the ambiance, service and location are wonderful.

    Had a wonderful time at Josephine’s, celebrating a family birthday. The building is incredible, service is top notch (there were a few hiccups, but overall service went above and beyond). For what you get, and the location, I think it is a good value. The drinks were delicious and so fun. All the food was fabulous. I highly recommend Josephine’s!
