Josephine Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Had the escargot with the puff pastry and the croque madame. Highly recommend both! Great customer service! Recommend checking them out during lunch time.
Superb service. Excellent and authentic French fare. And even with nut and dairy allergies in out party, our dining experience was smooth and so fine! We will be back!
Service was a little slow, but just pretend you are in Paris. It happens! The French onion soup is worth trekking through the freezing rain and snow. I am not sure you can get any better from anywhere else. It is quaint and delightful. I highly recommend this place.
This place is amazing. Beautiful interior with amazing features. Really just a cool spot. The service both times I have been have been really good, attentive and generally on top of things! The food, mm mmm! So good. Prepared very well, presented very well, and followed up on to ensure everything is as it should be. Only complaint I currently have is the restaurant week was happening the second visit, therefore they did not have the normal daily special I was craving ( duck a'l'orange). The manager overheard me trying to order it though and gave me his card telling me to let him know when I come back I. And "they'll take care of me". Genuine offer and care that it wasn't available on my visit.. so just make sure if it's something you're craving that they do indeed offer it that day if there are any other promotions going on! Otherwise, amazing spot as I said! Great wine selection as well!
What makes a 5 star review to a yelper? Consistent good experiences. Josephine's is through and through a 5 star experience. I've tried a few different menu items but the star of the show is always the French toast. Highly recommend ordering it to maximize your brunch experience. Vibes are cute and service is always great.
Superb dining experience. Casual atmosphere coupled with impeccable service made for a great meal. Onion soup was the best I've ever enjoyed. Steak frites was perfectly prepared. Side dishes of mushrooms and garlic spinach were divine. Pappardella with truffle was amazing. Dessert menu was outrageous. Chose the bread pudding to share. All I can say is PERFECTION. prices were super reasonable for the quality, portion and service. A must!
Josephine's is such a cute French restaurant! I love the sun room with the clear roof. It's like having brunch in an atrium. So pretty. I also heard that the upstairs dining area is very aesthetically pleasing. The food and drinks lived up to the overall good vibes! I had a saison beer that was great. My husband enjoyed his bloody mary. I had the avocado toast. It was very nice, and I did enjoy it! I was just surprised that the toast was actually a little sweet. I was expecting a more savory toast. I really loved trying the onion soup. That is always a hit! We had a really great brunch. Service was excellent! I would definitely recommend coming here for brunch.
A darkly lit atmosphere with intimate table seating. Service was very professional, knowledgeable and prompt, not overbearing. Salmon Rillettes: passable, as this was like a smoked salmon dip, and came with sandwich bread. Poulet Roti: so worth it! Would recommend! Mashed potatoes was really good, and chicken was crispy and juicy Would recommend for a classic French dinner, and service was great.
