We came as a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday. From appetizers to main course and desserts, the flavors were amazing! Our waitress was attentive and took great care of us.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Josephine. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully done and exceeded our expectations.
The food was truly delightful—every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in the kitchen. The atmosphere was perfectly on point as well—warm, inviting, and ideal for a special night out.
What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly well-trained and exceptionally observant without ever being intrusive. It felt like they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask.
The highlight of the evening was such a thoughtful surprise—we were celebrating our anniversary, and the team brought out a complimentary dessert along with a handwritten note. That personal touch made the night feel even more special.
Very well done.

The service here was great but food not so much. I enjoyed the lobster bisque but the chicken and duck that I had was not very flavorful. The chicken was dry and everything was rather small portions.

We made a last-minute Valentine’s Day reservation at Josephine in Carmel IN., and had a fantastic experience. Even though it was busy, due to the holiday, we were seated very quickly. Our waiter was super friendly and excellent, the food was amazing, and everything came out incredibly fast. The whole evening felt smooth and effortless. Highly recommend!!

While the food and atmosphere are amazing, the service provided by Justin is above reproach. While I can't speak more highly of his witty banter and skilled table presence, it would be sinful to not sing the accolades of his wealth of vivational knowledge.

My wife and I came in on a busy Friday afternoon. Not only was our server, Dimitri extremely attentive to our needs, he also met us with a delightful, charming personality. He is the type of server to make you want to come back again and again as talking to him will make your whole night. His recommendation of the Harvey and Harriet Red Blend wine was fantastic, as so was the Coq au Vin, and Duck à l’orange. We will be back, thank you Josephine, and thank you Dimitri!

I had such a wonderful experience at Josephine when I came in to celebrate my birthday. Our server Dimitri, was incredible. His vibrant, energetic personality made me feel so appreciated and truly special the entire night. My Coq a Vin and Mon ami recommendations were absolutely amazing — honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying because you really can’t go wrong. I already can’t wait to come back again!
This is my favorite place in Carmel! The food is amazing and the drinks are spectacular. Lauren, Carlo and Julian make the experience even better, they are not only great at what they do but so friendly. They make you want to come back every week. Later in the evening they have different entertainment so also a great place to be with friends. I highly recommend trying this place, you will definitely want to go back.

We went to Josephine for the first time this past weekend and we will definitely be back!! Justin was our server and he is the EPITOME of stellar customer service. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, both food and drink. Atmosphere is lovely, music is great and not too loud, food was TREMENDOUS.

We asked for the dining room but got placed by the bar area. Didn’t think to much about it until a table began shouting versus talking so loudly that my husband and I were not able to talk to each other. We went for devour and the portions were very small especially the dessert, it was 2 bites. The shrimp pasta tasted like a pasta from Olive Garden. Dinner took 2 hours, way too long. Our bill was $186 way too much for what we received.

We had a lovely evening at Josephine. We came for the Indy Devour menu, but left as lifelong customers. The food was PHENOMENAL and service was wonderful. The vibes inside are also very romantic, so we plan for this to be our go to date night spot!
