    We were seated on the patio, which is my favorite outdoor space here. Hamachi appetizer was fresh and delicious. Snapper and grits were very satisfying. Husband ordered steak frites and loved it. Chocolate ice cream for dessert was perfect ending.

    Kate is our favorite server! We had a blast last night, the weather was great and, as usual, the food and drinks were dynamite.

    Any other time I would have raved about their menu, I am hoping it was a one time slip on a dish we love. We started off with wine and cocktails and then ordered the Roasted Beets & Feta that had a unique splash of dill in the dish which was very good. We were looking forward to the Berkshire Pork Chop Schnitzel, but unfortunately, it was heavily over-salted. So much that it burned my tongue with one bite. We were tempted to try to wipe off the visible salt because the Pork was cooked perfect but choose to just ask for a remake. We were hoping it wasn't the batter that was salted and just a after-oven salt. Our server removed the plate, we asked for another one but were advised to go for our second choice which was the Mushroom Bolognese and the Red Snapper. Both good but not a Berkshire Pork Chop Schnitzel. Hoping the issue was resolved because we want to return to try it again. We absolutely love the ambiance and service, after all it is a gorgeous spot.

    Delicious and beautiful- priced to reflect the high quality but not too exorbitant for a special occasion or get together

    The pastries were absolutely the best! If you go, you must try as many as you can (we shared at our table) - the favorites were the Nutella Cinnamon Bun, the Blueberry Cream Cheese brioche danish, and the coffee cake. The brunch dishes were good even though the portion sizes were fairly small. The avocado toast was very plain but the other dishes were tasty.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Josephine House. We sat outside on the front patio. The hamachi and beet salad were really good.
