    Had a wonderful time at Josephine’s, celebrating a family birthday. The building is incredible, service is top notch (there were a few hiccups, but overall service went above and beyond). For what you get, and the location, I think it is a good value. The drinks were delicious and so fun. All the food was fabulous. I highly recommend Josephine’s!

    We dined on one of the upper floors and it was very quiet. Food was delicious and when they overcooked my daughter’s steak, they replaced it no problem. Service was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress even ran down the block to hand us a purse our friend forgot. We love this restaurant!

    Excellent food and service on a busy Saturday night. Menu is basically in French, but the waitstaff is helpful to navigate any questions about the food. Dress is casual - saw a few people in jeans and one woman in tank-top and short shorts, but most patrons were in business casual.
    Josephine - Old TownResponded 2 days ago

    Noah was our server--he was very solicitous. We shred the Salade Josephine and Noah was able to grab us the last 2 quiche. I've never had a bad meal at Joephine's.
    Josephine - Old TownResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that Noah took great care of you and that you enjoyed your meal — especially snagging those last two quiches! It means a lot to us to hear you've consistently had great experiences at Joséphine’s. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon for more favorites (and hopefully some new ones too!). Thank you again for your kind words and continued support. Thank you, Stewart Shoemaker General Manager Josephine Old Town

    It was pretty loud. The food was just okay. The service was good and so was the wine list. All in all I honestly can’t recommend it unless you live nearby. There are far better options in the area outside of Old Town.
    Josephine - Old TownResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for your honest feedback—we're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully hit the mark. While we’re happy you enjoyed the service and wine list, we understand that the food didn’t quite meet expectations. We’re always working to improve, and we’d love the chance to welcome you back and provide the kind of experience that changes your mind. I will reach out to you via email to coordinate another visit, if you're open to it! Thank you, Stewart Shoemaker General Manager Josephine Old Town

    Lovely experience all the way around! Snapper was excellent, Frank- very attentive waiter, quiet and romantic spot! We couldn’t decide on a dessert so we were brought both as a surprise, nice touch!
    Josephine - Old TownResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a lovely experience and that the snapper and service made a lasting impression—Frank will be delighted to hear your praise! We're glad you enjoyed the sweet surprise at the end, too. We’d love to welcome you back again soon—whether for another romantic evening or to try something new from the menu. Don’t be a stranger!
