    Lunch on MLK Day was a delight! My friend and I sat at the bar and had fabulous sandwiches + salad, and sparkling wine from the Loire Valley. I think the bartenders were quite busy so the service at the bar wasn't quite as attentive as is ideal but it was a day off from work and we were in no rush. I found the lunch menu excellent value for money and can't wait to return. Thank you Josephine!

    Excellent food, ambiance and service. The building is lovely and the brunch menu perfect. One of the few locations where you can have a nice conversation and the noise levels are low. We will be back soon.

    2 members of the party ordered Croque Madam and both very disappointed. It was dry, no cheese, little melted cheese on top and needed to get some more, however the egg seemed to be good. Another member ordered French toast which was cooked way too long so that the crusts were incredibly hard. He had to cut them off to get to the rest of the toast. My omelet was great. However Regina is a wonderful server, we have had her while dining several times, she is a joy to work with.
    Josephine - Old TownResponded today

Could you please provide your contact information or reach out to us directly at 703-687-1776 so we can discuss this further and ensure your next visit is a better one? Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back soon. With regards, David

    Josephine's is one of our favorite brunch spots. Here's why: 1) It's beautiful inside. It's a treat to be in the building, no matter the floor you are on or/the room you are in. 2) The service is always excellent. (Shout out to Noah this time! We'd love to have Noah help us again.) 3) The food is terrific. The eggs are always cooked perfectly. The salmon plate, my favorite, is always exactly what I want for brunch, with or without the mimosa (with a sidecar). We highly recommend Josephine - Old Town location.

We're delighted to hear it remains one of your favorite brunch spots for its beauty, excellent service, and terrific food. We'll be sure to pass along your appreciation to Noah - he'll be thrilled to know you enjoyed his service and would like him to assist you again. We're especially glad to hear your salmon plate was a hit, whether with or without the mimosa and sidecar. Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to hosting you again soon! Cheers! David

    Excellet experience at lunch today. Had a booth in the atrium. Ver attractive. A little noisy, but OK esp. in a booth. Regina, our waitperson was fantastic. Friendly, helpful and attentive;. My salad and my friends soup dish were very good. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be back.
