Romantic

by makar

Very romantic restaurant especially later at night with Lincoln Center lit up outside the window and the dark wood interior. The wait staff are unfailingly friendly and polite even in the face of rude customers. The food is excellent! My wife and I have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and have always been happy with service, atmosphere and food. Hope this UWS staple never goes away!

• Pros: Food, ambience, service and location
• Cons: Crowded and noisy at theater times and brunch!

STAY FAR AWAY

by debh456

Josephina is like a bad neighbor that has lived in your neighborhood for way too long and just wont move away. I used to dine there when they opened up years ago and then i decided to stay away for a while since its not consistent.

Well, the other night, four of us decided to stay local , we all live on the UWS and we thought we would give it another try. We ordered some appetizers and then my girlfriend started screaming . There was a rodent under our table and then we noticed a second one scurrying around as well. Of course we told the manager on duty and his excuse was that they were doing some construction next door. That wasnt a good enough excuse for us. We decided to walk out and then another patron told us that happened to him and his wife as well and the management used the same lame excuse several months before. If there are rodents running around in the dining room, could you imagine whats going on in their kitchen? This is not a well-run establishment and the management didnt even apologize for this horrific experience.

Stay away from Josephina's...

• Pros: NONE
