Josephines Downtown - Lancaster (PA)

5 /5 Donna Mallik: We went yesterday to celebrate our Son, Alexs birthday! What amazing service and spectacular food! Our server, Bennie, was tremendous, kind, attentive and charasmatic! Not sure how to upload unfortunately. For appetizers, we had the house made bacon, antelope and octopus- wowza! All super great. Main courses chosen were filet with bone marrow butter( phenomenal), scallops( amazing) and the huge crab cake( fresh and superb). Cant wait to go again, maybe sit at one of the bars. Wonderful time, elegant atmosphere! Just wish I know where to upload pics of the food. Each dish was a piece of art :)

5 /5 Sam Slaymaker: My wife and I have dined at Josephines many times and always enjoyed its excellent food and intimate elegance. In September, I phoned the restaurant to explain that I wanted to reserve a table for 11 for family members who would be having dinner following my mothers interment at Woodward Hill Cemetery. The gentleman who took my reservation over the phone kindly offered his condolences. When we arrived at the restaurant, our group was seated in a semi-private back room, I imagine because of the circumstances surrounding our visit. It was wonderful for our family to be in this serene environment in which we could share reminisces of my mother. The server was excellent. He projected just the right balance of warmth with gracious formality. He provided extensive descriptions of the specials (including price, which is rare and was much appreciated) and welcomed any questions about the menu. He took the orders of the ladies at the table first, which was a traditional and elegant touch. Of course, the food and service was excellent. The atmosphere of the restaurant, including its decor and photos of stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, evoked my mother and her era even better than I had hoped. In the end, I felt that Josephines had done an outstanding job in providing my family with an unforgettable evening that allowed us to gather in a fitting tribute to a great lady.

5 /5 Nathaniel Youndt: We had an exceptional dinner experience at Josephine’s! Our server, Kyle, was fantastic, provided great recommendations and had the perfect level of attentiveness. We shared the sea bass, house bacon, and shrimp cocktail for starters and, while all were delicious, the sea bass was a real winner. The favorite fish was the duck breast - absolute killer. And all of the cocktails were creative and awesome, as well.

5 /5 Tony Y: Visited for my wife’s birthday and everything was amazing! Our waiter Tate was awesome, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. His recommendations were spot on! I had the squash soup and rack of lamb and both were incredible. My wife was also very happy with the Caesar salad and the salmon which was cooked perfectly. Vanilla crème brûlée was a perfect end to the night. See you again soon!

5 /5 Bernadette Dougherty: I cannot wait to come back to Josephines! Our server, Hunter was excellent; he was attentive and made sure to answer any questions we had. The food runners went above and beyond, instead of delivering food and disappearing they told us what their favorite meals were and made sure we didnt need anything before they left. The food was delicious with attention to detail that we appreciated. The drinks were tasty!
