• French • Theater District

Booked 34 times today

The last of its kind near 42nd Street, Chez Josephine is a neighborhood gem founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as a tribute to legendary Josephine Baker. This Parisian bistro offers live piano music and a tantalizing menu in an intimate setting of red velvet walls, a cavalcade of chandeliers and a blue-tin ceiling. Guests receive a warm welcoming and are treated as family whether coming before a show, after the show, for a leisurely dinner in-between, or a drink at the bar.Chez Josephine draws a crowd unlike any other in New York as food critic Bryan Miller noted when he wrote: “The dining room is a confluence of the famous and the fashionable, the infamous and unsung – with every shade of skin on earth – and indeed you feel the magic of Chez Josephine.”

The ambiance was perfect -low lighting, balloons on the table, piano player in the background. We liked the price fix menu options. Only the scallops were disappointing-chewy and not sweet. The crab cake, beet salad, sea bass and desserts were all delicious . Lana, our server, was gracious and attentive. My old fashioned tastes great but I prefer the kind with one big ice cube.
