" Was here for a festive celebration, and Josephine's did not disappoint! The food was beautifully plated; I had the salmon which was delightful, and the flavors melded perfectly. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Only reason for not giving a perfect score was that the ambience could be a bit noisy during busier times, but overall a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Josephine's Downtown is a real gem! The artistry of the dishes is compelling, and the taste mirrors it perfectly. My friends and I caught the happy hour special, and we indulged in various appetizers including their famous bacon and crab cakes, which were superb. The drinks complemented our meal beautifully, too. It's a venue I would suggest for special occasions. However, I did find the dessert to be slightly less impressive than the mains, but overall, I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Josephine's offers a remarkable experience, from the food to the décor. My family celebrated a special event here, and we were delighted with the level of service we received. Each member of the staff brought their A-game, and the food was spot-on! We particularly enjoyed the baked goods prior to our main courses. I’ll definitely recommend this place for anyone considering a fine dining experience in Lancaster. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my husband’s birthday at Josephine’s, and it was nothing short of magical! The atmosphere is so enchanting, reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. We started our evening with the lobster bisque, which was rich and velvety. Our mains were the duck breast and ribeye, both cooked to perfection. Dessert was a delightful chocolate soufflé. Our server was attentive and made the experience even better. This place is definitely on our must-visit list every year! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t think I can overstate how fantastic our experience was at Josephine's. The moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and professionalism. The food? Out of this world! I attempted their seasonal special - the miso Chilean sea bass - and wow! It was delicately plated and absolutely delicious. The ambiance really allows you to relax and enjoy your meal. Can't wait to go back with family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has sealed its place in my heart. My family celebrated my graduation here, and everything went perfectly! The upscale decor made the occasion feel special. The Caesar salad was refreshing and the chocolate cake was divine! Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu items and provided excellent service. I’ll definitely recommend Josephine’s to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Josephine's is an absolute pleasure! They manage to offer an inviting and upscale dining experience at the same time. We loved the antelope appetizer, which had bold flavors. Our dessert, a decadent chocolate mousse, rounded off an already perfect meal. I think their attention to detail in both food and service is unparalleled. Can't wait for our next visit!
