I consider this restaurant to be one of the best in Northern California. Not only is it extremely charming, but the food, the menu the bar and Service all contribute to an amazing experience worth every penny. I don’t live here anymore. When I fly home I always come to Josephine‘s. A must try.

Restaurant Josephine is one of our favorite places for a special dinner. We celebrated our anniversary with an amazing meal and experience! They have a great selection of specialty cocktails, as well as a nice variety of wine and beer. We shared the oysters and the beet salad as a starter and had the halibut and steak frites for mains. Everything was amazing. The frites (fries) are delicious!! We finished with the nectarine cake…mmm!
Definitely make reservations. We’ve been a four times now, and everything on the menu is spectacular. It’s fun to go in a group so you get to try more items.
Enjoy!!

Porkchop was off the chain. The service was amazing. Waitress checked on us frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. I will for sure be back.

What an incredible place. You walk in and the ambiance greets. Josiah & Sophia served us at the bar. Robert took care of us for the evening. His expertise in recommending the dishes were spot on. We were all so impressed with food. It was incredible. By the way, you can also bring your own for a cork fee. Highly recommend Restaurant Josephine. The dinner was an experience and a journey about French food. Shout out to Josiah, Sophia and Robert for making great for my sister’s birthday. Thank you Courtney for working with me. They love your restaurant and we can see why!

My wife and I went here for the first time, on our anniversary. The cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts we had were amazing. The service was great. Everything about our experience there was 10/10.

Like many people, I wanted to check this place out due to all the recent hype — and it did NOT disappoint.
Looking at their menu ahead of time, I honestly wasn’t super excited about anything in particular. I even had some doubts about going since I’m not usually a big French food person. But l’ve learned that a great chef can make almost anything taste scrumptious and completely unexpected — and that was absolutely the case here.
Drinks: AMAZING.
I had the Gin & Julius, and it was one of the best craft cocktails l’ve ever tasted.
Soup: AMAZING.
I had the French onion, and my friend had the mushroom special. Both were easily “best ever” status.
Salad: AMAZING.
I ordered the beet salad — and I don’t even like beets (Iol). I just felt like I needed some vegetables in my system. OMG. Best ever salad. It’s one of those dishes where a talented chef completely changes your mind about an ingredient. Bravo!
Oysters: AMAZING.
The oyster selection was perfection. They were expertly prepared (fully shucked, no shell bits), and the accompaniments paired beautifully. My favorites were the Prince Edward Island oysters — now tied for my personal “best ever”.
Steak Frites: VERY GOOD.
The steak was perfectly cooked, and the fries were –you guessed it – the “best ever.”
Service: AMAZING.
Very attentive and polished.
I’m so glad I gave this place a chance. I went with a foodie friend, but it would also be a perfect spot for a date or romantic occasion.
My only gripe: They add a 3.5% equity fee for staff. I really dislike when restaurants do this. I’d much rather they simply increase menu prices. That said, the pricing was already very reasonable for the quality you receive.
Overall: The chefs absolutely deserve the James Beard nomination. Make your reservation TODAY!!

Everything was great. The service was stellar and the food was exceptional. Our water glasses were refilled multiple times and the waiter was happy to answer all of our questions. Scraping crumbs off the table would have been a nice touch, but it’s still Michelin Star quality. Would love to go back and will highly recommend. I loved the chocolate mousse.

Great experience at Josephine’s!
The food was excellent. We started with cesar salad, and French Onion soup, then had the salmon, and steak for the main course.
Our wine and old fashion drinks were tasty.
The service and atmosphere were excellent as well.

So many good things to say about this restaurant! The service was excellent, the inside seating was cozy, and the food was fantastic! We tried the oysters, duck liver mousse, chicory salad, the squash pasta, the mac and cheese, drinks from the bar, sorbet, and the meringue and it was so hard to choose a favorite because everything we had we really enjoyed! The duck liver mousse was so unique, but the squash pasta was probably our favorite of the night. Looking forward to coming back soon to try more!
