First time coming here and the experience was warm. Was met by the owner and his mother in law and…read morethey were both engaging. The ambiance was cozy and felt like a neighborhood spot that their frequent customers know, they can come here for their favorite dish. Decided to get their full order of fried shrimp and they didn't disappoint. They were fresh and they had just the right amount of seasoning to leave a lasting taste in your mouth. Definitely will be back to try something else from the menu.

The beef carpaccio was decent as well as the salad we had im not sure what salad it was- it was on a separate menu and it doesn't fit the description of any of the salads on the main menu. But good nonetheless - the dressing they used on it was yummy and had a nice bite to it. The veggies were fresh. For entree I had the steak frites and I wish I would've gotten the shrimp scampi instead. My friend got the scampi and the shrimp were huge and the sauce was very tasty. The steak however was mid at best. It was cold by the time it came out. The chimichurri was definitely not the best I've have. The fries and aioli were the best part of it. The best dish out of everything we had was the dessert- it was a bread pudding with a bourbon sauce. Super yummy and nice and warm. Overall it wasnt the worst but was not the best.

I got the Campechana Extra (shrimp & crab) $20 - 5/5 My mother got the mesquite grilled salmon and was highly disappointed from how dry the fish was. She didn't want to complain so she just ate it. My partner got the fried shrimp AND THAT WAS DELICIOUS! The sauce that came with it was chef's kiss. Service was top notch, I forgot his name (sorry) but none of our drinks EVER went empty! Food came out at an appropriate time. Was a great time. It wasn't too loud that I couldn't hear people, the conversation was flowing just fine.

Josephine's is listed as a Michelin recommended restaurant, and so we visited with some friends -…read moreit was a party of four on a Tuesday evening. I had pretty high expectations. We started by sharing a couple of appetizers - the smoked redfish dip and the biscuits. I'm weird about smells and aftertastes - and was hesitant to try the smoked redfish dip. The dip was flavorful and very smoky - the crackers it is served with were amazing. The aftertaste was tolerable, but a little fishy for me. The biscuits - I could write poems about them. I'd go back to eat baskets of just those biscuits. Highly recommend. My husband ordered the fried catfish platter - it was amazing. The catfish nuggets were crunchy and HOT (temperature), the fries were perfectly seasoned and the hush puppy was a crunch heard around the globe. Sadly, the shrimp and grits arrived to the table at room temp. The flavor was really good, but I was worried to mention the temp issue and have the kitchen nuke them in the microwave. The red beans and rice were similarly room temp and congealed. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely, the service was solid, and on a Tuesday evening we could have walked in and been seated quickly. Overall, it was a nice evening with our friends. Sometimes the company makes up for small disappointments.

Really enjoyed my visit to Hudson House…read more I tried the truffle parmesan fries, spicy tuna crispy rice, seared tuna salad, and a strawberry spritz. If you like the idea of an aperol spritz but wish it were a little sweeter, I'd recommend their strawberry spritz. All of the food was really tasty and the portions for their entrees are huge. Service was attentive, and I liked the aesthetic of the interior. Parking is a paid lot like much of Rice Village

Beautiful ambiance, incredible decor. Very good service…read more Popcorn chicken doesn't taste like popcorn chicken. Served with ranch, honey, mustard and ketchup upon request. The rock shrimp has a good amount of breading and the flavors are very pro-Americanized palates. Unless you find parking on the street, it's paid for parking because it's Rice Village. Peach Bellini is their most popular drink. It became viral on tick tock and it's very strong with vodka and champagne. A couple of these may get one tipsy easily. Karina is the real MVP. Thank for being honest and delivering excellent service. Happy Hour is the time to be here. And there will be a lot of folks day-in-day-out.

I love gumbo so I had the gumbo jeaux and tried the shrimp etouffe. Both absolutely amazing. They looked similar but very different taste. I have never had etouffe but it was so delicious. So flavorful. The gumbo jeaux was full of chicken, sausage, shrimp, rice and a whole little crab! So good! I got small portions to go back to the hotel but it's a cute little joint.

The service was very welcoming and everyone was friendly the moment I walked in. It was very clean and simple with a southern Louisiana Mardi Gras theme. The staff made the ordering process quick and easy. I made my order to go and didn't have to wait long. When I received my food it was piping hot. I ordered the $10 Catfish basket that came with 1 fillet, plenty of fries, 2 hush puppies, and a drink. I had to try the crawfish étouffée so I got the $9 small that came with white rice. My to go order was packed with plenty of condiments and was hot and fresh. The catfish didn't have any flavor or seasoning and had a strong fishy taste. But I must say it was battered and fried to perfection. The fries and hush puppies were tasty. The crawfish étouffée was extremely way too salty. The roux honestly tasted just like the Louisiana fish fry étouffée base in the pack or jar which I'm very familiar with. I was hoping the taste would make me think I was back in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana with homemade roux from scratch. But hey maybe I just caught it on an off day. Overall it was a good experience and if I try it again I'll definitely try something different. The great customer service and my Creole roots makes me want to give it another go!
