    Josephine house did it right! This sweet spot was an upscale yet cozy setting for a chilly day off brunch. The breakfast croissant sandwich was delicious, flaky and fresh. The Nutella bun was so good it was rude! 😁 The Ricotta pancakes were soft & flavorful without being too sweet. Note cheap but you could taste the quality in even bite!

    Not trying to be a pretentious ars here but we’ve eaten in France & New Orleans and have had a hard time matching those experiences. My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I had a Valentines dinner here tonight. I can say that the food and the experience were great. French Onion soup was quality, I tasted my daughter’s tequila martini & ordered one myself, lamb chops were perfect and the banana, nutella crepe was one of the best desserts I’ve had. Coming from a fat guy, that’s a compliment. First timer who will be back for more
