He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality.

First time to Josephine’s for a Special dinner out before the holidays. Food and our server Nate were wonderful and we will return. One word of caution-happy hour at the bar is 4:30-6:30 and it was crowded and extremely noisy. The Hostess seated us next to the bar and we couldn’t hear ourselves talking. After returning to the hostess she moved us to a quieter table away from the bar area. Very accommodating and she totally agreed. Looking forward to returning

Truly excellent steak and seafood in a cozy and elegant setting. The cocktails are great, the wine list extensive, and the service was amazing. Sides are big enough to share which means everyone can pick their entree and eat family style veggies, mac, and more.
