    Muscles and Calamari were not very fresh. Damon special was very good.

    Wow! What an under-the-radar find! They serve high end quality Italian at below reasonable prices. We had the Bolognese (apparently based on the original Josephine's recipe) and the scampi. Both outrageously good. They have a cool selection of Italian wines on tap. We had a carafe of Chianti, because a carafe of Chianti. They've also got a full bar if cocktails are your thing.

    Easter brunch buffet. Burned bacon and French toast, cold eggs, over cooked pasta, drink order that never came. Live locally, want to like this place...but they make it so hard.

    Brunch was less than average buffet variety. Chicken was overcooked, sausage cold and there were only a handful of choices. Host was helpful but wait staff rarely came by and did not really acknowledge us. We don’t plan to return as there are so many great restaurants in the area.

    We went to the Easter buffet at Josephine’s. The food was great, as we’ve come to expect, and we appreciated that there were healthy options as well as vegetarian and gluten free ones. The table service for drinks was a bit slow as they seemed to be slightly understaffed, but we were chatting away and had a lovely time.

    Been wanting to try Josephine’s and saw they have brunch. We were not disappointed! Nice selection of food, drinks and reasonable prices. Went for a family get together and we were able to all talk comfortably. Will be going back! Service was great.

    I really wanted to like this place since we live so close. The ambiance and drinks are good. The food was cheap and the mussels were horrible and chewy. I couldn’t swallow them. The meatballs have way to many breadcrumbs. It appears they are trying to save money on the meat with all the breadcrumbs. The pizza tasted like anything you would have from the frozen section at the grocery store. I’d come here again for a drink but never for dinner. Hopefully this place steps it up with the food quality.

    The food was excellent, the service was a bit sketchy, some pasta entrees were served cold and had to go back, but were nonetheless v.tasty.
