   We had a great meal in a great setting with great service. My only concern was that the noise level was so loud that our party of four had a difficult time carrying on a conversation. Of course, noise levels can change based on who else is dining and whether they respect the rights of other diners in the same room.

   As always, the service, food and ambience were perfect. We have had the same server, Tate, the last couple of times we’ve dined there and he is simply amazing! Very courteous, kind, and attentive! Excellent experience! Thank you Tate!

   The atmosphere and ambiance were fantastic. Sophisticated yet comfortable, with old photos of Hollywood stars from the past. Food was excellent, service was prompt. We had the salmon & black cod. Both dishes were excellent.

   We had a lovely evening. Everyone was happy with their meal. We go to one of the associated restaurants regularly, for my birthday we decided to come here instead. I was able to have dessert! I never get dessert because everything has dairy in it. I told them when making the reservation that I was hoping for dessert. They planned ahead made me one! We will definitely be back.

   Excellent dining experience. Food, atmosphere and service were great. We had the artichoke soup, Josephine’s salad, the oysters and the Pâté de foie gras for starters. All were delicious. I would order all of them again. For our entrees, we had the crab cakes which were very enjoyable. The desserts were exceptional as far as taste and presentation. The cheesecake, chocolate decadence and peanut butter and jelly were all outstanding. I recommend this restaurant and would return.

    When visiting the Lancaster area, there are a few restaurants we frequent. Josephine's is right at the top of the list. We love the ambience for starters. It is a beautiful space in which to dine and it sets the mark for what comes from the kitchen. Our meal consisted of a Caesar Salad, New Brunswick Oysters on the half shell, an appetizer antelope loin chop, Salmon Oscar and Barramundi. Chocolate Decadence and House Cheesecake for dessert, EVERYTHING was superbly prepared. Even the cocktails were memorable. I had the Sean Connery and my wife had the Marilyn Monroe. Maybe one of these days, when visiting, we check out Happy Hour at the bar. This past evening it was out birthday celebration and there was a lovely welcome card on the table with our names on it. They do it right at Josephine's
