My fiance and I are from out of town and stopped in to Josephines by recommendation for dinner. It was unfortunate that we had to wait some time after our reservation in order to be seated. As it turns out, with food, drinks, atmosphere and service of this quality, it's no surprise that the place was busy, and that people didn't want to leave!
After being seated, we were promptly greeted, and our drink and appetizer order came out quickly. The Korean lettuce wraps were amazing! I was tossed between the shrimp mac'n'cheese and the lemon and caper sauce chicken; I decided on the Mac, as the description was mouth watering. Possibly due to high expectation, or the fact that things just don't always come out perfect, I was underwhelmed by the tiger shrimp mac'n'cheese. Somehow, one of the hostess' Fran, saw my dislike of the dish and approached to make sure everything was ok. Though I was embarrassed and hesitant to send it back, she made me feel comfortable with the situation and assured me that my enjoyment of the meal was the most important factor. With that, I sent back the Mac, and they RUSHED out the Chicken in lemon caper sauce with risotto, for me. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!
Overall, the staff was very friendly. They all seemed to pitch in to make sure the guests were happy. The food and drinks were top notch, and the manager on duty, Ricky, was very pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a place to celebrate an occasion, or even just a great meal, at a fair price.
