C'est la deuxième fois que je viens au Joséphine. La nourriture est excellente, les textures, cuissons, assaisonnements sont excellents. Les portions sont correctes. Les cocktails sont très très bons surtout celui au citron & la vie en rose. Ils ont une bonne carte des vins à des prix raisonnables.

The waitstaff (not busboys who are great) are not observant at all. No side plates, cutlery, forgetful on orders & unprofessional. Service took way too long, we were two people & a set menu took 2.5hours. Took about 15 minutes for our server to say hello to us.
Creme caramel dessert was a let down, the texture was off. Tartare & lobster roll were delicious.

Located a the immediate corner of Duluth & St. Denis, Josephine has a very pleasant, warm if dimly lit locale with a central bar area separating the restaurant into two approximately equal sized halves. We visited during the MTL A TABLE event so the menu was limited (see image) but the restaurant has an emphasis on seafood. The ranking is difficult & would have received 4.5 stars as the meals were on the cusp of very good versus good but something kept holding it back. For our appetizers we had the salmon tartare (good but missing something, like an avocado base) & the butternut squash soup (beautiful presentation, tasty but was served lukewarm)...for our mains we had the Shrimp Tagliolini (good but not over the top) & the Braised Beef (very good, great sauce but too dry...like it had been under the heater for an extended period of time)...&, finally, for dessert we had the chocolate mousse (great toffee crunch on the top but the mousse itself had a bizarre spice added to it that was slightly off putting) & the crème caramel (good). As mentioned earlier, it had great potential but something was either missing or odd in almost all dishes. The service, however, was excellent & there was no shortage of staff available to take our order, delivery plates or just make sure everything was ok. Enjoy!
