    Fabulous restaurant with great drinks and kind / attentive staff. Escargot, steak frites, and espresso martini are probably the top appetizer / entree / missed drink in our opinion (as semi-regular customers) but everything is reliably good!

    I was looking forward to this outing, unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. The service was great but the food was not. Atmosphere was energetic.

    We had lunch/brunch to celebrate a birthday. Great service; very attentive and friendly. Surprised with a birthday dessert that was perfect. I do like Joesphine and recommend highly.

    The service very good Food was mixed Josephine salad was very disappointing Didn’t taste fresh Escargot was good though I prefer no puffed pastry on them Pate was just ok The scallops were not what I expected (I preferred them made as Le Gaulois did when it existed) but were quite good Others with me liked their mussels and trout dishes

    Requested a quiet table. I think it doesn't exist. Very noisy. However, service was excellent, and of course the food was perfect.
