    If you are looking for an excellent and inventive menu, Josephine's is the place. It isn't inexpensive but it is a delicious and lovely dining experience for those special occasions - or just because you deserve it! Our waiter was excellent. We all appreciated him sharing his observations and knowledge. The menu was excellent with plenty of variety - enough to please anyone. And the desserts were extraordinary both in deliciousness and in presentation.

    Joseph truly gave the full experience at 401 Prime. He went through drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts with such detail you will want to order everything off of the menu. He has a great sense of humor but doesn’t go over the top with it. He had great recommendations and was able to explain ingredients like he was the one who prepared the dishes. The host and hostess were great. We had a reservation and were sat promptly.

    I brought my NYC daughter here for her first visit. She found the menu very wide; hard to decide. We both had the Bouillabaisse. She found it delicious! I always do. She liked her wine choice, a red Bordeaux, and I liked mine a white Burgundy.

    Everything about our dinner at the Blevedere was excellent. We had a birthday, which they acknowledged with a note on our table. The Xmas decorations were lovely. Our waitress's service was outstanding. The food served was of the highest quality (steaks and braised beef). We will definitely eat her again. Thank you tot he staff for making our visit so enjoyable.
