    We had not been to the Josephine House in a while, so it was great to return and enjoy a delicious brunch in a festive and cozy atmosphere. Avocado toast was delicious! Our waitperson was attentive and accommodating. Looking forward to returning sooner than later!

    Just spectacular, top to bottom. Anything and everything we ordered was just outstanding--from the schnitzel (we had 2 Germans in the group, so, that's saying something) and steak to the red snapper, octopus and chocolate ice-cream. They didn't put a foot wrong. The ambience--just the layout, decor and lighting--were very nice too, esp. if you are on on a date or with friends and want to have a conversation.

    We were able to get our entrees dairy free. The chef is very accommodating. The service was great, the room a little dark to where it was hard to read the menu. And it is very loud as it is a small dining area. Outside would be perfect but it was raining. I would definitely recommend Josephine’s. Very good French dishes. We had the duck confit salad and the schnitzel. Tasty!

    We sat outside in the coziest little nook under a heater and it was absolutely perfect!! Crab cake/shrimp and grits were so flavorful and excellent. Service was just right-always on time. Chocolate peppermint ice cream was outrageous! Need to sell that!
