   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.

   Quaint restaurant. We were in the back and able to have conversation. Food was tasty and seemed authentic menu.

   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!

   We dined on one of the upper floors and it was very quiet. Food was delicious and when they overcooked my daughter’s steak, they replaced it no problem. Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress even ran down the block to hand us a purse our friend forgot. We love this restaurant!
