The story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

Bernie is a fantastic waiter. Food was all cooked perfectly and was delicious!!
Was looking for after theatre dinner spots, and decided on Altana, and it was the best decision! Reasonable, great food, great drinks! Service was wonderful, so was the atmosphere. We had to eat inside, it was windy and cold, but will be back in Spring/Summer to enjoy their rooftop venue.
Fabulous bakery on the first floor. Overall, great experience.
