Chez Josephine

A sweet, dark, pre- or post- theater haunt, named for Josephine Baker. Offers a full bar with signature cocktails, and French style food.

First of all, this is the best restaurant I’ve been to in all of my 50 years. The staff were so kind, incredible and attentive. I really recommend the dish potato leek soup. My family and I could’ve ate that for hours and hours. Later on, a pianist came on in, and was playing the most exquisite music that I have ever heard at a public event. And just the atmosphere alone is worth a five starr review. I will be happy to come here over and over again, without a doubt. I hope that you also have had a wonderful experience at this simply divine restaurant. Thank you for reading this, and have a wonderful day. Vegetarian options: Wonderful. Kid-friendliness: So kind to my child, and she was treated with care.

Incredible pre-show experience. Wonderful atmosphere, especially Ulysses our bartender. Impeccable service, delightful storytelling and incredible cocktails. Perfect evening! Thanks Ulysses!

This is a classy spot. Very cozy and romantic. Excellent spot for a date. Great service and the bartenders are very knowledgeable. The food was delucious and the presentation was impeccable.

It’s been a bit since I’ve been to Chez Josephine and so happy to be back and see it’s still wonderful! I visited before seeing a show at Playwrights Horizons and extremely convenient. I had the Lobster Bisque as a starter, Beef Bourguignon for main and Lemon Tart with Raspberry Sorbet for dessert—all fantastic! The host was extremely welcoming as was my server and everyone else working. The pianist & singer were wonderful and made it a great night. Can’t wait to be back.

Loved this little gem of a restaurant! The onion soup was outstanding! My son had the lamb and raved about it. We had an early dinner before our Broadway show.

Terrible service. Asked server for water refill, she passed me twice with the pitcher filling glasses and still nothing. Finally another brought the refill. Had to ask for dessert menu long after dinner plates were removed.
