That's a great theory you've got there. Makes perfect sense, Friday and Saturday nights should be the best at any restaurant and you have to imagine they've got their good chefs going at night and not the next morning. Brunch, if you've ever read Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential", is a BS meal that's really just there to make money for the restaurant not boost their culinary acclaim. Anonymous,

Had a similar experience there for brunch. Ordered eggs and veggies...everything was lukewarm, floppy and tasted reheated. Interestingly enough, I have had very good meals there at other times. What I suspect is something I call the the Sunday Brunch Downer. It happens in a lot of good restaurants mid-day on the weekends. The chef is off during the day and other kitchen staff take over. I imagine the thinking is: "How can you screw up eggs and pancakes?" I have taken so many friends and relatives to brunch at terrific restaurants only to be disappointed at their brunch offerings. Give me a greasy spoon any day! Ditto, Food Guy. Had a similar experience there for brunch. Ordered eggs and veggies…everything was lukewarm, floppy and tasted reheated.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who felt cheated by Josie's. They have the right idea but it's definitely a bit rusty. Hopefully they'll see this review and take note.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who felt cheated by Josie’s. They have the right idea but it’s definitely a bit rusty. Hopefully they’ll see this review and take note.
