The Story of Josephine’sThe story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

    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.

    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.
