" I visited Chez Josephine on a whim during a recent trip to NYC and it was a delightful surprise. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful art and soft piano music. I tried the lobster bisque and duck a l'orange, both of which were excellently prepared. However, some dishes could be considered pricey for the portion size. But the quality of food makes it worth the splurge. Definitely returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was blown away by the atmosphere at Chez Josephine! The live music had such a calming effect on the evening, making it a great backdrop for our meal. I ordered the seafood special, which was fresh, but I wish it came with more sides. The dessert, however, was fantastic—a true standout. I would come back to try different dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly charming experience at Chez Josephine! The food was superb, especially the French Onion soup, which is a must-try. The live piano added a delightful touch to the evening. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. I can't wait to return with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Chez Josephine is like stepping into a fairy tale! The atmosphere was enchanting, and the live music was a lovely addition. My partner and I ordered the duck confit and the dessert, and both items were marvelous. The evening was slightly affected by a longer wait for our table, but it was mostly forgotten once we sat down. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Chez Josephine was a delightful experience! We were seated promptly and received excellent service. The ambiance is unmistakably French, accompanied by a lovely pianist adding to the atmosphere. Both our starters and mains were delicious, although desserts felt a bit basic. Overall, I’ll definitely go back for the main dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Chez Josephine twice now, and both times I was impressed with the cuisine. The grilled octopus was flavorful and well-prepared. The intimate atmosphere paired with live music makes for an unforgettable dining experience. However, I feel that prices are a bit on the higher side without corresponding portion sizes. Overall, a great spot for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Chez Josephine and couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere. The live pianist played beautifully, enhancing the overall dining experience. My meal—duck breast—was exquisite, but I hoped for larger portions. Overall, this place is a must-visit when in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)
