  I really like this place. I have only came here for events thrown by people that I know but the establishment has always been nice for us. The wings and tacos taste great. The drink specials are very good also.
  
  I have not seen this place packed or popping but it is a pretty good lounge spot nonetheless.

  Just. Plain. HORRIBLE!! Do not spend a dime at this establishment!
  
  Note: I went on a Friday evening with 4 of my girlfriends...
  
  First of all, the "restaurant" side was 3 tables and a super tall eating bar (I am 6 feet tall and was in heels and it was too tall for me) with the chairs they had at the bar, your chin would have been in the food... a shorter person would have to reach over their head for a bite.  The other three tables were super short with these cushions to sit on (not cute if you are in a dress and heels). My friends and I stole the "bar" chairs and lowered them to sit at the table (our knees were higher than the table).
  
  The menu had about 5 things on it, only the fries were suitable for this vegetarian. Also the drinks (we ordered soda because they do not serve tap water #side eye) were served in red, plastic cups as though we were at a picnic. We complained to the waitress about the silly rules and mishaps of our adventure to this establishment-- mind you, she was SO SWEET and KIND to us. It was obvious that she didn't agree with how the place was being run, but she was there to get a paycheck while she was going to school (bless her heart).
  
  We later aired our grievances to the manager and told him point blank that the waitress was not our problem and not to give her a hard time. After he comps our bill and offers us free drinks for the night (which we refused... yeah it was so bad we refused free booze) he proceeds to pull the waitress to the side and chew her up one side and down the other not too far from us, uncool.
  
  We tipped the waitress the amount that we would have spent on the food and told her again that we thought she was awesome and we were sorry she worked for such a crappy manager. I hope this place gets it together quick or they will be doing a grand closing very soon.
  
  On the bar side, there were about 15 people, only one was on the dance floor. I would never step foot inside this establishment again

  Nice ambiance.  Terribly uncomfortable seats.  EMPTY.  Went for Happy Hour $5 drinks, $5 hookah.  Great but only 4 patrons (including us).  Came back later around 11P to meet friends and a whooping 12 people in there (including my party of 5).  This was Friday night BTW.
  
  DEAD. DEAD. DEAD.
  
  If they can get a crowd it has potential.

  Yep only two stars (should have been 1 star)! Wow, what a disappointment. Maybe its partly my fault for "assuming" the name spoke for itself?!?! Josephines sounds classy and mature except it was anything BUT that!
  
  Its not fair for me to totally judge, but I don't think I would return or recommend going. We were only there for 5 minutes "literally". A client had recommended this place although she hadn't been herself, so I decided to one-up her and try it first:-(...gosh shoulda waited on that decison but its what one does when one wants first hand info, right?!?!?
  
  A friend and I arrived about 10pm (yeah a bit early) but we wanted to see the clientele going in....well we sat until about 10:30pm or so watching but not too much activity and what we did see, did not fit the "grown & sexy" we were wanting. Eventually we meandered in, but first, WHY were we waiting outside at the door when there wasn't a damn thing going on inside? B L I N K! We were outside the door for like 3 mins, cop chkd purses etc and they do pat-downs on dudes too.
  
  The first thing I notice as we walk in is the emptyness, the cold temps and the horrible techno music:-( WTH?!?!? There were youngsters who worked there skimpin' around in skimpies and hooka' heels....LOL. I will say inside we were promptly and properly greeted though. I was hella disappointed with the atmosphere, as it looked nothing like the webpage spread, which is allll cozy and sexy.....umm NOT!
  
  There are two sides to the club/lounge, one side looked like a bar area....maybe it is that the "grown" nite is Thurs or Tues or something other than Sat nite..... We did not have tapas or even a drink, which we might have if it was warmer, the music better and the overall atmosphere much improved

  Didn't check the Yelp reviews before ending up at this place, which now worries me a bit!  Everything was totally normal when we went to meet up with some friends who were here on a Friday night - no police raids or anything like that!  In fact, there were off-duty cops working security out front, not that it was really needed.  Some Russian people we knew were there promoting that night, so lots of Russians, lots of house music.  
  
  It is more of a lounge than club... lots of comfy and free seating near the bar and around the dance floor.  The dance floor didn't really get much action until later in the night, maybe from about midnight on.  Drinks were fine - had a very nice cosmo.  Best part about it (for me at least) was that they had a full menu!  Yes, this place has a kitchen.  The teriyaki wings were awesome.  Despite the other reviews, we had a nice enough time here and I can't complain.
