    Superb dining experience with excellent input from the wait staff. Dined at lunch on a Federal holiday so the number of customers was unusually small -- on the other hand, it was quiet and made for easy conversation. The soup (French onion) and sandwich combo was a real bargain. This was my fourth time, including both lunch and dinner. so Josephine is clearly a favorite desintation.

    Wonderful atmosphere reminiscent of a Parisian cafe. Atrium space I so airy and beautiful. The food was superb and seasoned well. Keep room for some dessert! That opera cake is no joke and not overly sweet.

    This was my first time going to Josephine. The ambience was very good as well as the food. Our server, Jay C, was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. His positive energy and knowledge of the menu contributed to an outstanding dining experience. I was celebrating a special occasion, and he pulled out all the stops to make it memorable. I will definitely be back.

    The atmosphere was great. We loved the decor and the French theme all around. However, the food was sub par. I order steak frites and the steak wasn’t a good cut and very rubbery. I would like to come back for drinks instead of food next time.
