" Dining at Josephine was a real treat for my family! We celebrated a special occasion there and were genuinely impressed by the ambiance and the fantastic food. The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose a wonderful wine pairing. The duck confit was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The only downside was that it was a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny for the quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations for Josephine, the experience was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, but the food was not as authentic as I hoped. I ordered the traditional ratatouille, but it felt quite bland compared to other places I've tried. The service was quick, yet I could sense our server was inexperienced. If they can improve the food quality, this place has so much potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the dining experience at Josephine! The staff was incredibly friendly and ready to help with menu selections. I had the mac and cheese as a starter, then the steak which was cooked perfectly. The highlight was the dessert; rich and creamy crème brûlée. This place is a gem in Alexandria and I will definitely come back for brunch next time — you should check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a simply delightful brunch at Josephine last weekend! We were seated in the beautiful outdoor patio, which was the perfect spot to enjoy the weather. I tried the eggs benedict and my friend had the quiche — both were delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktails were equally impressive! Our server was cheerful and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I look forward to visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! The moment I walked into Josephine, I felt like I was transported to Paris. The decor is stunning and creates a lovely, romantic atmosphere. We started with the escargots and were blown away by the garlic butter sauce. For our mains, I had the duck confit, which was tender and flavorful, and my partner ordered the steak frites which were cooked perfectly. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend Josephine for anyone seeking an authentic French dining experience. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here frequently during the summer and I must admit, my expectations were set high! The menu has a delightful variety of French cuisine. Last time, I got the trout almandine and it was well-executed. However, I noticed that the service was slower than my previous visits. The ambience is still cozy, but it seems like they may be undermanned. Still, I'll return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My date and I celebrated our anniversary at Josephine, and it was a memorable evening! The ambiance was intimate, making it a great choice for special occasions. I had the beef bourguignon, and it was rich and hearty. We shared the cheese board, which was delightful as well. Service was attentive and our waiter made us feel welcome without being intrusive. I will recommend to others for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
