    We arrive here on our reservation time. I like that’s it’s quite. The server was very good I wanted the steak and egg (medium well) but she said order it on medium so it’s not dry so I went with it, don’t regret it I loved it. My girl ordered her French toast and she told me to give it a 5 star and recommend it. My baby got the fruits and I tasted all the fruit that’s in it. They picked the very good ones. My husband food was great too. The hostess was very welcoming. He is a handsome guy but I didn’t see his name. Anyways all the crew was very nice, knowledgeable and hospitable. I have a baby and a 8 year old so they made sure we have the right seat for both of my kids. Food was served hot and presentable. I have been to restaurants all over Texas but this is the Only place that has this kind of crew. I loved my 1st time here. We will definitely come back.

    Josephine’s is my go to brunch spot. When I need a personal pick me up, brunch with friends or brunch with my finance, Josephine’s is always my top pick. Their food is always top tier and they have the most beautiful people on their team. 10/10 recommended.

    We had an amazing experience. Our Server recognized us from the night before and he went out of his way to prove that Laurel dropped the ball the night before. We were treated like royalty and we didn't even ask for it. We were visited by an Executive and he apologized, as well, for the night before. There are a lot of places near the hotel to eat. I am glad that we didn't allow our Valentine's Dinner experience to stop us from an outstanding Breakfast experience!!!

    We went on Valentines night, which I’m sure is a challenge for any restaurant, but everything was perfect. Seated us on time, food and service were great. You do have to valet park here (was only $10 before tip) if you don’t try to find your own parking, but even that on such a busy night was really good. This is one of our go to restaurants and often bring our out-of-town family and friends here.
