Food was incredibly fresh. Everything from their vegetable plate to seafood, to the butter noodles they served our kids. They were very friendly & made some wonderful recommendations for our future dining plans. Thank you.View more

We did not have a reservation, it was a walk-in. Restaurant had plenty empty tables inside, but we were told they were reserved. We were still seated on a nice table, however during our time there, no one was seated in the so-called reserved areas. Not sure why restaurants do that. Regardless, we ordered the big plateau & enjoyed it, it was fresh & delicious. Will come back for sure.View more

The restaurant design is beautiful. The food sublime & delicious. Hugo, who has the pride of an owner for this restaurant, hooked us up with wine we'd never had that we loved ( & we are picky winos) as well as honestly suggesting the best dishes in the house. The lobster ravioli ( fresh pasta)& the steak was to die for. The grilled zucchini, heaven. The calimari, delicious & didnt taste like the bad fried versions we all know. The almond cake for dessert, so light, flavorful & yummy. Sauveria was also so lovely with us. They both were a joy. You felt completely welcome. Can't wait to go back.View more

Nous avons mangé au Josephine ce soir. Nous avons pris un plateau de fruits de mer à partager & 2 cocktails & tout était absolument merveilleux. La fraicheur & les saveurs étaient plus qu'au rendez-vous. Mention spéciale au mixologue & au serveur Tomas qui nous a offert un service exceptionnel. Il connaissait sa carte par coeur & a su nous conseillé au mieux. Nous avons senti sa passion tout au long du service & c'était agréable. À très bientôt, Alexis & CindyView more

Nous avons pris moules frites (tomate/bacon & crème/vin blanc) entrée d'huitre & mocktail sur mesure. Tout était bien & d'apparence soignée. Les prix sont convenables. La déco est très coquette. J'y retournerais sans hésiter.View more

Bonne bouffe ambiance très cool mais le serveur inexistant & pas agréable .... Pas de service, pas de suivi.. Heureusement que le barman était là pour venir nous voir. On s'est servie le vin, on a attendu pour avoir de la glace pour refroidir le vin blanc. Les additions jetés sur la table, pas de merci... Dommage car le restaurant & la cuisine sont vraiment coolView more

We had difficulty finding reservations for the upcoming Father's Day weekend. Called & they said they could squeeze us in at the oyster bar at 19:00. We walked over nearly a half hour early & were seated in their pleasant sidewalk outdoor area. Our waiter, Thomas was nice, efficient & accurate with his recommendations. My wife had fried calamari, not overcooked, light, crunchy crust, just the right amount for one person. I tried each of the 4 types of oysters offered that evening, simply with lemon & jalapeno sauce which I didn't use. My wife ordered a grilled lobster, well prepared & simple. I ordered sea bass with a reduction sauce, mushrooms, clams & asparagus. Fish was moist, not overcooked with crispy skin. Skipped dessert. Sorry, I ate the oysters before the photo.View more
