Great French bistro.
great place, fair prices Josie offers very reasonable prices for a restaurant of this caliber. Make sure you get your reservations well in advance of the date you want to dine there. PROS: fantastic wines by the glass CONS: a teensy bit crowded when they're busy
Josie's I enjoy eating here. Nice atmosphere and interesting combinations of food. I feel it could be a little better but overall very good, romantic place for a special occasion out.
Only if you like worms in your food – We ate here a couple of months ago. At first, I was quite impressed. The cocktails were intresting and we had an enjoyable appetizer. My husband ordered some sort of beef for his main course. I wanted to try it so he put some of it on my plate. Right before I took a bite, I noticed a small green worm crawing around on it.

Food Was Just OK, but Good Cocktails – My boyfriend and I went to Josie last night after reading great things in Los Angeles magazine and on citysearch, but have to say were disappointed.

I enjoyed the lack of LA "scene" and the humility of the plac... read more
SUPERB – I recomend everything on the menu! My own experience: As appetizer the roasted quail was cooked perfectly..... The venison, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the short ribs with cous cous. And for dessert we ordered the chocolate bread pudding, which was AMAZING!!!! If you haven't tried this restaurant you should.

great eclectic food in West L.A. – I had a celebratory meal at Josie last week. Overall, a great meal and a great time. The service was very good. We started (two of us, but hungry), with frogs legs, duck leg, and pork belly. All were excellent, though the pork belly skin should have been crisp, which it wasn't. They brought a sliver of wild mushroom quiche as an amuse bouche, which was also excellent. We then shared the tagine of short ribs with cous cous and the venison. Again, both were excellent. The venison, though cook... read more
