The Story of Josephine’sThe story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. 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. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

    My wife and I dinned at 401 Prime on 2/15/2025 for a valentine’s date night. Steven was our server and I must say, the best experience we ever had. This was our first date night since moving to Lancaster from California and Steven made it a night to remember. Ask for Steven!!!

    Everything was expensive, but it was for a special occasion, and I knew that going in. Our server, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, both in the food and preparation, and for the atmosphere. As expensive as it was for my modest income, I would highly recommend Josephine’s, even if you only go for special occasions! The food, service and experience was definitely worth it!

    Typically it’s difficult for a restaurant to pull everything off perfectly.. from the moment you enter the building to the time you leave.. but The Belvie Inn did just that! The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent, our dishes were always cleared promptly & the courses were perfectly spaced that we didn’t feel rushed at any point or that we were waiting. Also- most importantly the food was outstanding. We will definitely return many times! Perfect spot for your romantic nights out!
