Our first experience, and we wonder why it took us so long? They are the complete package, amazing Tomahawk Steak, sides, everything. They even have Eric LeGrand Bourbon. Had to taste it. Lots of Rutgers memorabilia. Paul was our server. We have never experienced such a complete server. His explanations were epic, clear and concise. He graciousness was off the charts. you MUST request him!

I get to NYC usually twice a year. Chez Josephine is ALWAYS part of the trip. Love it on Christmas Eve. For me, the food, service, and atmosphere are always like going to another time. Such fun. A special tip of my hat to the hostess. Watching her manage that crowd was amazing. SHE WAS ON FIRE!!! Viva Chez Josephine.

Great place good food and service just doing the winter months a little cold inside maybe better heat management would help a great deal. So maybe the hot soup offer would not jump out at you as much and the first thing to order on the menu.
