   I would totally recommend this restaurant for ambiance and service. The experience of dining here is so welcoming. This is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. The food is presented beautifully with much attention to detail. Excellent all around!

   The bread was cold, the drinks were warm, and the entrees were disappointing. A $$$ meal was disappointing at best. We had high expectations given their OpenTable ratings. Maybe it was an off night, but we’ll never know.

   Lovely evening. All food was excellent except the soup - bland and hard to eat with vegetables larger than bite size. You must try the lemon meringue.. oh and the cocktails 😋

   Appetizers were a little underwhelming given how they read on the menu. That said, the rest of the meal, from drinks to entrees to desserts was spectacular. The duck was among the best I’ve had and the lemon meringue was my favorite restaurant dessert I’ve ever tasted. Service was exceptional and while it was a pricey meal, it was more than worth it for a special occasion

    We truly enjoyed the ambience, and the food was incredible! We ordered the Chilean sea bass, which was outstanding. The beet salad was ok, fresh but nothing special. The entrees were out of this world: short rib, crab cake, carbonara with pasta that melted in your mouth! Our server was great. We had a wonderful evening, this place is a gem!

    I made a reservation in order to celebrate my wife’s graduation and I’m so glad that i chose Josephine’s! The restaurant called the day before to ask if we were celebrating and confirm our reservation. The night of we get to the table and they put an insert in the menu congratulating her completely free of charge. The ambience was so cool and the drinks were incredible. The whole menu sounded delicious and when our food came out we were amazed with how good it was! Our server was kind and helpful and our night ended up being probably out best dinner out in Lancaster!

    Excellent service, called to confirm our reservation and ask my dining partner’s name as it was our anniversary, so that was nice. Food came out quickly and hot. Appetizers nice, Escargot and Foie gras, dinner good, duck and sole. Sole sauce amazing, fish a little overcooked Dessert the meringue, spectacular. We were customers of the Josephine’s in Marietta for years, so we were happy to see a rebirth of high quality. Will return. Live in Harrisburg, so a little drive, but the restaurant is a short walk from Prince st garage.

    We loved this place! Who would have thought that the little town I went to college I now has the most amazing food scene. This French restaurant was exceptional. My scallops had a savory bread pudding (chives/mushroom bread pudding-mind blown). The decor was classy and our server was attentive. We will absolutely be back.

    Our first time at Josephine's and we were blown away. The restaurant is really beautiful, Old World, and elegant. We loved the old music playing and the photographs on the walls. Our waiter, Scott, could not have been more attentive and professional; friendly without being too familiar. He was very knowledgeable about the wines. The food was beyond delicious, beautifully served, flawlessly prepared. We had the Caesar salad, mussels and shrimp starter, filet mignon and crab cake special, and the short ribs, plus dessert and a wonderful Napa Cabernet. We're in love and can't wait to go back. Worth every penny.

    Josephine's is beautifully decorated with images of Hollywood Stars of yesteryear. We were pleasantly greeted and escorted to our table. Our server, was prompt and helpful and got us our drinks very quickly. His advice and suggestions regarding our choices were on point. The menu has a good variety. The taste and presentation of the food were excellent and innovative and exceeded our expectations. In my opinion this is the best meal we had in Lancaster and on our "must do" list for our next visit. It is a little pricey but well worth it.
