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.

Food was excellent but they ran out of the special by 6:00. Only one person at the table got their first choice.

The food was really good. About what you’d expect from this type of restaurant. Our waiter “Shawn” was attentive but not over bearing. We started with char broiled oysters and they were really tasty. Followed by the 14 ounce prime rib eye that was perfection in every way and worth every penny. Seemed much bigger than 14 oz also. We also sampled a grilled seafood platter and found it to be good; the fish was a little dry for my taste and the gumbo was bland (shrimp and crabmeat just dropped in gumbo) but the rest of the platter was awesome. Overall, great atmosphere and enjoyable.

The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The seafood platter had a lot of food and was delicious as well. The fried ribeye was cooked so tender and again tasted delicious. Service was great. Can’t wait to go back.

Party of 6 was seated quickly even tho it was New Year’s Eve. Our waiter Joseph great! Never an empty glass! Crawfish dip came w/hot cracklins that were still popping! Oysters were perfect. Everyone’s food was delicious except the ribs weren’t tender. Not worth complaining about because everything else was amazing!

Food was very great. Only complaint was that one member of our group ordered a steak and it came out very overdone. But this can happen at any restaurant. The staff were great about replacing the steak and very apologetic. Overall a wonderful experience!

The food was outstanding!!!! The charbroiled oysters were top of the list of best I’ve had! Matt was an excellent server and handled our party of 8 like a pro. It wasn’t our first time but we will definitely be back! It was worth the drive from Lafayette!!
