Josephine's Downtown

As far as we're concerned, this is Lancaster's top restaurant. Never a disappointment. Tonight we started with the new to menu Cream of Onion soup and the Chilean Sea Bass app. Both were fabulous. The soup is decadently rich and savory...it arrives at your table as a dry bowl with a crostini topped with onion jam and lump crab. The server pours the creamy soup around and over the crostini. Both of us loved it. The sea bass was very good, though we preferred the previous version of it with the more savory miso glaze over the new Kim chi version. Entrees were the always scrumptious scallop dish and the salmon Birria. My wife has a difficult time ordering anything other than the scallops here. She swears they are the best anywhere and she loves the sear on top. All of the sauces were directl

So we didn’t expect to need plans for Valentine’s Day due to other reasons…but we stumbled on this place and although they were booked we were able to get seats at the bar! The restaurant itself was so beautiful, it reminded me of new york. There was also live music!! It was piano and cello I think. We ordered a salad and the antelope appetizer that my boyfriend wanted to try very badly and then we also ordered the vegan dish which was very good and the salmon birria. My boyfriend actually liked my vegan dish better than his but we liked both. It was such a pleasant experience especially as we didn’t think we could get int any nice place for Valentines!

Incredible dining experience. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. The antelope meat was tender and delicious. It is a must try! The Marilyn Monroe cocktail was amazing! The best lemon meringue in the city!!

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.

Wow. Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Staff was delightful. Atmosphere is second to none.
