Chef Troy Bijeaux wants to welcome everyone to Cafe Josephine. We have many spectacular dishes, but our signature dishes are both our steaks and oysters. They can be seen getting prepared and cooked at our oyster bar. Its a great time to speak with Chef and others around you.

The servers were attentive, impatient with my large group. The food was delicious and the ambience was great. We requested a table shift and we were accommodated without delay. This was the first exposure to Café Josephine for many in our party and they indicated that they would return.

Troy and Colby have a spectacular restaurant, right in our backyard!! This is the only restaurant I will eat raw and charbroiled oysters! Steaks are cooked to perfection, paired wonderfully with a McAllan 12 year!

This was our first time dining here. We ordered the cheesy corn and crawfish dip w/ pork rinds as our appetizer . Don’t sleep on this— it was amazing! Our entrees were fried oysters and the prime ribeye. Delicious! And for dessert, the Lemon-Blueberry Mascarpone cake was simply scrumptious! The service was too-notch.We will be back!
