    We were able to get our entrees dairy free. The chef is very accommodating. The service was great, the room a little dark to where it was hard to read the menu. And it is very loud as it is a small dining area. Outside would be perfect but it was raining. I would definitely recommend Josephine’s. Very good French dishes. We had the duck confit salad and the schnitzel. Tasty!

    We sat outside in the coziest little nook under a heater and it was absolutely perfect!! Crab cake/shrimp and grits were so flavorful and excellent. Service was just right-always on time. Chocolate peppermint ice cream was outrageous! Need to sell that!

    We essentially sat at a an indoor picnic table (super uncomfortable) in the dark (lights were ridiculously dim) right by the kitchen where food was coming out (lots of commotion) The food was good but it took a long time and we had to take our entrees to go. The whole thing was a bummer.
