my wife and I went not knowing what to expect by some of the other reviews we saw, but were unbelievably surprised by not only the atmosphere the service and the food, but just by the overall experience. if you are lucky enough to have Kevin as your server, listen to his advice, he knows what he’s talking about. He let us the right way regarding food and drink, and everyone was incredibly attentive during a busy night. can’t recommend going there enough!

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!

The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We were there for brunch and had the pancakes, breakfast tacos and steak and eggs along with the delicious Revive smoothie. They use all the healthiest ingredients. We ended up eating here several times over a long weekend. Every meal was flavorful and vibrant. We literally kept going back the Well.
