Came for my Birthday dinner with friends on Saturday. Despite a mishap with the reservation and seating that began the night a little rough, the lovely manager and staff were very helpful and made everything right, making the experience memorable and enjoyable! I applaud the team for going above and beyond, the service was unforgettable.
Not to mention, the food was delicious as well! We ordered the steak tartare, escargot, and oysters for the appetizers and would definitely order them again. My friends enjoyed the steak frites while I got the boeuf bourguignon. A pet peeve of mine is when the frites are an afterthought for the meal, however, these were the complete opposite. Throughout the night, I snuck off my friend’s plates because they were so addictive. For dessert we loved the creme brûlée, typically, I am not a sweets person, yet, this was an exception.
The interior was beautiful and the ambiance made it a great environment for the company. We all had a great time. I once again, praise the team for being so understanding and kind. We felt well taken care of and I definitely recommend Josephine’s to celebrate a special occasion!

Josephine’s continues to impress us every time.
The customer service is truly above and beyond, and the food is outstanding. Our steak dinner was cooked perfectly, and the drinks were superb, clearly made with care.
The waiter was completely on point from start to finish, attentive without being overbearing. A special shout-out to David Jones, the manager, who was amazing. He checked in on us throughout the evening and genuinely made us feel welcomed and appreciated.
This was our second visit, and somehow it was even better than the first-which already had great service and incredible food. Being invited back made the experience feel extra special. No complaints at all. We’ll absolutely be returning and recommending Josephine’s to others.
Highly recommend dining here!
Thanks again! 🙂

Exceptional service and food quality! Went on Sunday dinner for a special date, the general manager, Stewart Shoemaker, personally came to us to wish congratulatory remarks and provided complimentary champagne and macarons desserts! The atmosphere with ambient lighting with gentle French music in the background. Highly recommend to everyone!

Love the vibe of this French restaurant perfect bar area for happy hour but the restaurant is great for dinner with the girls or date night!
I went for a company dinner and the service was amazing. I ordered the Onion Soup Gratinée as my starter which was DELICIOUS! My entree was the Boeuf Bourguignon which looked amazing but I was honestly so disappointed in the lack of flavor. The beef and sauce it came in had no flavor. For desert I had the Opera Cake which was really rich and delicious. Overall I’d be interested in coming back but will be trying a different entree.

This is a fun restaurant for a special occasion (date night, family outing, etc.). The indoor atrium gives a nice atmosphere day or night. The service is fast, friendly, and attentive! They prepare their steaks and fish very well. The escargot appetizer is also great! The burger was way overdone (not just well done), and the pasta used too much butter and oil, leaving more to be desired. I would want to try some more of their French classic dishes (e.g. beef bourguignon) next time.

Josephine is a charming culinary escape in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warmth and a level of service that elevates the entire experience. The staff was attentive, professional, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout the evening.
We enjoyed a selection of dishes that truly impressed us. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, the French onion soup was rich and comforting, and the terrine was beautifully prepared. Each dish showcased quality ingredients and thoughtful execution. Paired with an excellent wine recommendation, the meal exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
The ambiance is what truly completes the experience. The interior design transports you to a classic Parisian brasserie, with its elegant décor, warm lighting, and inviting atmosphere. It’s a place that encourages you to relax, savor each bite, and enjoy the moment. Josephine is a wonderful choice for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or anyone looking to indulge in an authentic taste of France.

The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, and the servers were attentive and friendly. Overall, the food & drinks were delicious, though a few dishes didn’t quite hit the mark.
Duck Confit Skillet: The flavors were there, but the duck fell short, confit should be meltingly tender, and this wasn’t. Without that softness, the skillet loses its luxury.
Chocolate Hazelnut ice cream: The ice cream had an unusual texture, it wasn’t creamy and smooth like traditional ice cream. It felt somewhere in between.
Riz au lait (rice pudding): The dessert was edible, but disappointing. It was far too runny and the flavor was muted. Riz au lait should be creamy and spoonable, not as watery as it was.

Josephine’s is a favorite destination in Old Town. The onion soup and lyonnaise salad were perfect starters with our entrés. The beef bourguignon and steak frites were both stars. We went with the profiteroles which were the best version i’ve had. Service was amazing and the ambiance is spectacular. sommelier was so friendly and helpful. Loved our experience at Josephine’s!

Came here recently for Monday dinner—got seated upstairs in the main dining room. Service was good, our server was new and just started working that week but he did okay! The manager came around twice to check up on our table, and other tables, which was nice.
Have some mixed feelings on the food. Was excited for the Escargot but it was a disappointment—so bland, like they used unsalted butter or forgot to add any salt/seasoning, and the puff pastry was dry. Foie Gras Parfait was okay, very light mousse texture. Onion Soup Gratinée was well flavored. Strip au Poivre and Trout Amandine were both decent—steak was tender and flavorful, but the trout dish was on the bland side so I had to ask for salt. For dessert, we got the Apple Tart Tatin and since we were celebrating our anniversary, they gave us a complimentary Crème Brûlée which was pretty good—and brought out a sparkler!

We had a party of 4 and shared 8 entrées. The pate and onion soup were our favorites for sure. Other highlights were the escargot and croquettes. The service was top notch as was the wine list. We also each had a cocktail at the bar before being seated, try the sweater season…
