    The moment we walked into La Grande Boucherie DC we felt welcomed. The hostess at the entrance shared a little about the beautiful venue before seating us. PRETTY COOL BAR! Our waiter, Steven welcomed us again before introducing himself. His attention made our visit special, as well as the overall staff. We ordered the lobster bisque and the pear salad, the salmon and the steak frites and shared a cheesecake for dessert. We certainly enjoyed our food and dining experience. La Grande Boucherie in NY had already made a good impression on us when we organized a large gathering with family and friends. We appreciate Filip at the hospitaity team, Steven in DC and Izzetin in NYC. Thank you!

    This was my first time going to Josephine. The ambience was very good as well as the food. Our server, Jay C, was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. His positive energy and knowledge of the menu contributed to an outstanding dining experience. I was celebrating a special occasion, and he pulled out all the stops to make it memorable. I will definitely be back.

    Although the restaurant was a bit busy, with no seat untaken when we first arrived, the noise and atmosphere was still relatively quiet and calm. I was not sure what to expect as I have only had afternoon tea outside of the US. The food, the tea, and the staff were all wonderful. The food was especially good and presented well with no finishes overlooked. I did order a more savory dish in addition to the full tea service. The chicken and leak pie was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend trying anything that might sound appeasing to your palet. Lady Camellia is highly recommended. My daughter and I will be back soon!
