Review summary

Josephine offers a "phenomenal experience" with a cozy, French-inspired ambiance. Guests rave about the "best creme brulee" and "delicious" dishes like onion soup and steak frites. Although some found the menu limited and service occasionally slow, the "attentive" staff and "amazing" culinary creations make it a must-visit.

    Delightful, in Carmel, beautiful renovation, reasonable wine selection, and friendly staff & host. It took a very looooong time to be greeted by server & long time to get drinks. If someone had told us it would be a bit, we'd have appreciated being acknowledged & expected to be patient. Instead, quite a few staff passed by avoiding eye contact. 4 of us dined, 1 boulibaise, 1 steak frites, 1 coq a vin, and 1 salmon. Beautiful presentations, and steak cooked perfectly. Salmon was over cooked. Frites are a side on several dishes, and it seemed more variety is warranted. We will return!

    LOVED our first dining experience at Josephine! The space looks amazing, the ambience was great, and the food was delicious. While I only gave 4 stars for "value," the prices were comparable to other restaurants in this genre. (I don't know if a burger and fries will ever be worth $21 to me, but it was damned delicious, and I will definitely go back!)

    The crab Nicoise salad and the stuffed dates were excellent. The Coq-au-vin was just average. Excellent waitress!
