Food was truly excellent and of highest quality. Location is a bit "funky" being on Pico Blvd., never known for high end anything, so its off the beat and path, and far from the tourist or "hip" portion of Santa Monica. Nevertheless, top notch California/Continental food, with top notch prices to match. Make a reservation and be prepared to shell... More

The restaurant is billed as a rather respectable eatery but our experience was contrary to the advertisement. Ok, Xmas Eve may not be the best time to try out the true grit of any restaurant but if one decides to open I would expect they should live up to the spirit of the season. Our table at the window was... More

Small menu - about 8 appetizers and 8 entrees, but all of them delicious. I have been here many times. Pricey but well worth it. The back room is less formal and has a fireplace and the bar, but the whole restaurant is small and intimate. Has an elegant feel to it without being snobby. For a special romantic night... More

I have eaten at Josie Restaurant over 50x's - I am saddened when I see anyone that has an issue with this restaurant and really wish I could talk to them all. Josie dosen't promise to be more than any but a great, dependable, high quality, market fresh restaurant that has a mature staff of professionals - seasoned veterans in... More

My wife and I finally made it to Josie's for much needed night out. Josie has always been a place we wanted to try, but we've hesitated as we considered it to have a limited menu. We had the frog's legs, pig belly, short rib and NY steak. The only thing I could recommend would be the pig belly. The... More

Our dinner at Josie's was superb from start to finish: a lovely amuse bouche of goat cheese and walnut quiche, followed by exquisite trout with lemon nage, our guests' duck and Moroccan lamb. Desserts (pear tart and apple crumble) were delicate and delicious. Portions were just right, service friendly, and the quiet corner where we sat conducive to good conversation.... More

Josie proved just perfect for our gathering of 4 cousins. The food was excellent but not overly sauced or embellished. The service was prompt and friendly. The noise level and lighting were conducive to conversation and appreciation of our meals. The free parking lot in the back was most appreciated after having tried to park near the 3rd Street Promenade... More

Josies restaurant is easy to find, has plenty of parking and a nice atmosphere, not loud or too impersonal. We would have enjoyed our experience more had the owner been more hospitable. He was not very welcoming nor thankful, the other man standing at the front door was not thankful as we were leaving either. This fact puzzles me, especially... More

I eat here often - its walking distance from my house. It's got a great vibe, the staff and service have never been less than excellent, and the food is pretty tight. But I never leave without thinking I've spent about fifty bucks too much. The wine list is over-egged (cheapest Californian plonk is around $60 a bottle, if I... More
