    Josephine's is a favorite restaurant for my family to celebrate special occasions. We celebrated a birthday, and Josephine's recognized it with a card in each menu and a dessert with a candle. Besides the special occasion, the service was amazing; our waiter was able to answer all of our questions and was patient when two of our party were running late. The food was tasted wonderful and was well-presented. I marked the noise level high only because we were in the back room with another party that was a bit noisy. The main room isn't as noisy.

    I took my mom for her birthday and it was great! The waitress and her trainer Matt were amazing and super attentive. They even wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate sauce on her dessert plate around her tiramisu! I had swordfish which was delicious and my mom has honey glazed salmon! Food is always amazing and hospitality is top tier!!! 1000% would return!

    We've been to the Exchange many times over the past couple of years. Always a great experience. A perfect place (IMO) for a casual evening of drinks and food with friends. Great service & food (pizzas are especially good!), excellent cocktails and stellar views over the city of Lancaster. We've never been disappointed! Highly recommend.
