    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.

    I love JH & eat here almost every week while visiting for a month. My mother raved about her salmon Benedict. Loved our sour dough toast with jam. But it looks like recipe changed for the Huevos Rancheros? The sauce was overpowering, tortilla overcooked & cheese was a stinky cheese which was also too strong. I am a die hard & will be back next week. Will just try something else. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!

    We had wonderful service, cocktails, and food here. Had reservations but probably didn’t need one at 4pm on a Tuesday, as there were only a handful of lucky people enjoying the wonderful happy hour. The beef tartare was delicious, the Josephine House burger was incredible, and the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly. The portions are great! The cocktail to try is the Luxe Botanica, but the Spiced Crescent and Mezcal Razorblade are top notch as well.

    We loved our brunch at Josephine House! All the servers and staff are very warm and friendly. Their customer service is top notch and they go out of their way to accommodate you. The food was delicious, we loved the pancakes and avocado toast. Highly recommend.
