★★★★★ 5.0 Susan Scott · Dec 2025

This is a wonderful place in Sunset. My sister and I were passing through on a Thursday. YEAH! Oyster night!! We started with a dozen charbroiled. Perfect!! Had to get the egg rolls since they were so good the last time we dined thrre. Just excellent! Sister had fried catfish. I had the eggplant crab dinner...breaded, fried eggplant medallions, broiled tomato topped with creamy crabmeat sauce and some fried shrimp! Outstanding! As usual...we ordered more than we could eat...so had a great lunch the next day!

We had an amazing dinner at Café Josephine! It started off strong with a perfectly crafted Old Fashioned—smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of kick. For our appetizer, the crab egg rolls were a standout: crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful, fresh crab on the inside. For our mains, I had the oysters, which were fresh and beautifully presented—absolutely delicious. My husband went with the pork chop served with mashed potatoes and gravy, and it was incredible. The pork chop was thick, juicy, and cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, with rich, savory gravy tying it all together. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here with reservations on a Friday night and were seated when we walked in. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing and some of the best food we’ve ever had. We got the ribeye pork chop, the country fried steak, charbroiled oysters and a few extra sides. The pork chop was the table favorite, cooked perfectly and well seasoned literally melts in your mouth. But everything was delicious and would be ordered again. The biscuits that you get when you sit down were soft, warm and perfectly sweet. The charbroiled oysters were garlicky and butter and our server brought us some crab stuffed jalapeños which were also super good. They brought a piece of bread pudding out to help us celebrate a birthday too, which was really good and super sweet of the staff. All that said, our server Lo

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jeff B · Jan 2026

The food is great. I am not a huge fan of Worcestershire sauce in butter on a beautifully cooked filet but it somehow worked with the addition of the Teardrop ( Biquinho ) peppers. The cook on the steak was originally perfect but it died in the window and sadly was served cool. As such, the butter sauce coagulated and it had an off-putting mouth feel. Once it was rewarmed if was ok. The server was super nice but sadly overwhelmed. The meal came out in stages to the point where the wilted spinach had to be packed to go. I will say the bread pudding is awesome and the Happy Anniversary message on the plate was a nice...and thoughtful...touch. Sadly, I could not enjoy the meal. It is entirely too loud. We (a two top) were seated (crammed) between two large birthday parties who were competing

Horrible service and even worse communication. I first tried this place 6 months ago and fell in love with the chicken fried ribeye. My wife and I are from South Carolina and are in town for work so I figured what better place for a date night. We first went on Feb 28th around 7pm everything was great I got an old fashion and we ordered an appetizer. It wasn’t until after we started eating the appetizer that the server notified us that they were out of the Chicken fried ribeye and a good bit of other things. So we got the check ($37after tip) and figured we would try next weekend. Well we re visited yesterday around 7pm and it was the same exact situation. I asked before we ordered anything this time. I even called before making the reservation to make sure they would have it. I have a 17
