    A beautiful ambiance greets the guests to Josephine. We were escorted to he second floor where soaring coffered ceilings, wood paneling and comfortable seating greeted us. Our waitress provided clear information on the food as we inquired about several of the offerings. The cod croquettes were an excellent first course; my duck cassoulet was excellent, full of rich flavors. Though my wife chose an appetizer for her entree - onion soup - it was very satisfying on a cold cold evening. Dessert - creme brulée - was excellent - creamy with just the right amount of crystallized sugar. The complementary dessert offered by the house consisted of four tasty macaroons. Highly recommend!

    Our server Jenna was wonderful. She made my birthday celebration extra special. The food was wonderful, and the ambiance is beautiful and welcoming. The only drawback is the noise level, which is high.

    As soon we got there, we got the table but the server was slow to get the menu for us. We asked for the refills for water but they never come back. But other than that everything was good.
