" I initially hesitated to try this restaurant given mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere felt a bit casual for a French restaurant but the food completely stole the show. I had the smoked salmon and my friend ordered the pork chop, both were top-notch. However, I would recommend making a reservation as it gets quite busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place knows how to do French cuisine right! The ambiance is delightful, but I found the flavor profiles to be subtler than expected. The appetizers were fantastic, but the main course felt off, less seasoned than I anticipated. Despite this, the service was friendly and prompt, which softened the blow. Worth a try but I’d recommend asking about specifics before ordering next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant Josephine has become my new favorite spot for dinner! From the warm welcome to the delicious food, everything was exceptional. The ambiance is chic yet comfy, perfect for any celebration. I particularly enjoyed the seasonal squash soup. It was heartwarming and packed with flavor. Definitely planning to return soon to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I welcomed a group of friends to enjoy a night out here, and it certainly set the bar! The selection was diverse, and everything was exquisitely presented. There was plenty of food for everyone, including vegetarian options that satisfied even the pickiest of eaters. One minor note: we had a bit of a wait for our drinks, but our server was apologetic and made up for it with complimentary desserts! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you appreciate fine dining, you must check out Restaurant Josephine! Each dish showcases the chef's talent perfectly—wonderful attention to detail, and the flavors are wonderfully balanced. The wine pairings suggested by our server were outstanding as well. It’s a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth your money! " (*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*)
