" Wonderful place! The ambiance is perfect for a date night. I had the escargot, which was my first time trying the dish, and I was pleasantly surprised! The service was friendly, and our waiter was eager to provide recommendations. The cocktails were exquisite, and I really enjoyed the creativity behind them. However, the portion size was a little less than expected for the price point. Still, one of the best meals I've enjoyed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant Josephine continues to impress! The layout and design give it a classic yet modern vibe, with touches of elegance. During my last visit, I ordered the beet salad and beef steak—both beautifully plated with fresh ingredients. The staff was attentive and friendly, which made our experience even better. Great option if you’re nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The ambiance was rich and welcoming, perfectly suited for enjoying their French-inspired dishes. I had the pleasure of tasting their seafood platter and it was bursting with flavor—truly a highlight of the evening. However, I felt portions were relatively small for the price, but also enjoyed the intimate setting that made it feel special. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Restaurant Josephine for the first time last weekend on a recommendation from a friend. The atmosphere was bustling yet cozy, a perfect mix. I had the beef tartare, and it was undoubtedly one of the best I’ve had. The flavor of the dish clearly showed the chefs’ attention to detail. Would definitely go back and try other things on the menu. Only complaint was that it was a bit noisy when full. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem this place is! It has such a welcoming vibe and a menu that boasts both traditional and modern French dishes with an unexpected twist that keeps things interesting. The ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, which I really appreciate. I particularly loved the dessert menu! Recommend the panna cotta and the lemon tart; both were exceptional! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great restaurant that I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner. The atmosphere was lovely, but I didn’t find the food to be quite as authentic as I had expected. The service was impeccable, but I felt a bit rushed to order. The cocktails were great; however, the food was just average for the price point. I expected a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant feels like such a hidden gem! The mangalitsa pork chop was one of the best decisions I ever made. The creative cocktails were a nice highlight and perfectly paired with the dishes. It's definitely a bit upscale, so treat yourself—you deserve it! I can’t recommend it highly enough, but try to make a reservation since it gets pretty busy. " (*Curated Review*)
