This is a wonderful place in Sunset. My sister and I were passing through on a Thursday. YEAH! Oyster night!! We started with a dozen charbroiled. Perfect!! Had to get the egg rolls since they were so good the last time we dined thrre. Just excellent! Sister had fried catfish. I had the eggplant crab dinner…breaded, fried eggplant medallions, broiled tomato topped with creamy crabmeat sauce and some fried shrimp! Outstanding! As usual…we ordered more than we could eat…so had a great lunch the next day!

We had an amazing dinner at Café Josephine! It started off strong with a perfectly crafted Old Fashioned—smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of kick. For our appetizer, the crab egg rolls were a standout: crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful, fresh crab on the inside.
For our mains, I had the oysters, which were fresh and beautifully presented—absolutely delicious. My husband went with the pork chop served with mashed potatoes and gravy, and it was incredible. The pork chop was thick, juicy, and cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, with rich, savory gravy tying it all together.
The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here with reservations on a Friday night and were seated when we walked in. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing and some of the best food we’ve ever had. We got the ribeye pork chop, the country fried steak, charbroiled oysters and a few extra sides. The pork chop was the table favorite, cooked perfectly and well seasoned literally melts in your mouth. But everything was delicious and would be ordered again. The biscuits that you get when you sit down were soft, warm and perfectly sweet. The charbroiled oysters were garlicky and butter and our server brought us some crab stuffed jalapeños which were also super good. They brought a piece of bread pudding out to help us celebrate a birthday too, which was really good and super sweet of the staff. All that said, our server Louis was extraordinary. We’ve never had a server take such good care of us, ever. We truly appreciated the kindness and attentiveness from him and Cafe Josephine. He even packed a few biscuits for our toddler that woke up from a nap as we were leaving. We couldn’t be more thankful. Very down home vibe and definitely down home cooking, we loved this place.

The food is great. I am not a huge fan of Worcestershire sauce in butter on a beautifully cooked filet but it somehow worked with the addition of the Teardrop ( Biquinho ) peppers. The cook on the steak was originally perfect but it died in the window and sadly was served cool. As such, the butter sauce coagulated and it had an off-putting mouth feel. Once it was rewarmed if was ok. The server was super nice but sadly overwhelmed. The meal came out in stages to the point where the wilted spinach had to be packed to go. I will say the bread pudding is awesome and the Happy Anniversary message on the plate was a nice…and thoughtful…touch.
Sadly, I could not enjoy the meal. It is entirely too loud. We (a two top) were seated (crammed) between two large birthday parties who were competing to be heard…it was, honestly miserable and anxiety inducing.
The menu is a bit pricey but again, quality of the food is worth it…just wish I could say the same for the overall experience. I will try again because I really believe the place has something great to offer a person who loves a good steak.
Pro-tip: Avoid peak times on Friday & Saturday, request to be seated in a booth, and be sure to make a reservation but still be prepared for a 20 or so minute wait.

Horrible service and even worse communication. I first tried this place 6 months ago and fell in love with the chicken fried ribeye. My wife and I are from South Carolina and are in town for work so I figured what better place for a date night. We first went on Feb 28th around 7pm everything was great I got an old fashion and we ordered an appetizer. It wasn’t until after we started eating the appetizer that the server notified us that they were out of the Chicken fried ribeye and a good bit of other things. So we got the check ($37after tip) and figured we would try next weekend. Well we re visited yesterday around 7pm and it was the same exact situation. I asked before we ordered anything this time. I even called before making the reservation to make sure they would have it. I have a 17 month old son so the only time for a date night is on the weekend after he is asleep due to me working long hours during the week. I understand that this is a smaller restaurant and Saturday is the last day they are open for the week but this is just ridiculous.

Our server, Ali, was amazing! Attentive, sweet, and efficient! She said she normally worked as hostess, but was filling in due to short staffed. Well, we couldn’t tell because she was great and the entire restaurant flowed in their service! Great job! Oh, and the food and cocktails were amazing and delicious!

If you don’t know about this place you’ll miss out on some really good food. The building don’t have the name on it so you better use Google maps. Get there before the open the doors at 5pm or make a reservation, the old folks line starts early. The crab stuffed egg rolls were good, the crab cakes is all crab with no filler were said to be the best my wife has ever had and presentation was a 10. I had the chargrilled oysters which were clean and good, shrimp were very good. My daughter wasn’t a fan of the ribs, said they were a little tough.
Cafe Josephine in Sunset Louisiana is definitely a must go.

Our waitress Maddison was absolutely perfect. Very attentive and kept us all happy! We will be back. The chicken and sausage gumbo was absolutely delicious.

Had our first visit here recently. Food was very good. We went on an oyster night and they were delicious! We also got the hot seafood dip appetizer that was so good. My Old Fashioned was good, not great, I wouldn’t order it again. It was very loud in there. Kinda disappointing for us because we wanted to be able to talk. Service was fantastic though!
Update: went again and everything we had was very disappointing. Too spicy to enjoy. We decided the oysters were best but there are better places to get oysters. Atmosphere was still loud. We won’t go back.

Our reservation wasn’t until 8, but we got there at 7:15 and they sat us immediately. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. As an appetizer we tried the Zydeco shrimp and oyster combo and the seafood stuffed mushrooms. They were absolutely amazing! Although both were exceptional, the mushrooms were to die for!! Hubby had the seafood platter for his entree and I had the trio oysters !! Also absolutely wonderful!! My mixed drinks were perfect. Not weak at all!! I am a whiskey drinker and had woodford reserve and it was just right. Normally when you order mixed drinks at restaurants, they are over priced and weak. 5 stars for us!!! We will be back!! Ask for Macy!! She was perfect and very attentive!!
