Has Josephine Closed?

M. emailed a photo of the sign in Josephine’s window that says “technical problems” have forced the restaurant to close “today.” But he added that it’s “been closed for past 4 days. Is she out of business?”

The website doesn’t work (it goes to a spam page about acne treatment); nor does the phone. The Facebook page hasn’t been updated since January. On the other hand, the cafĂ© furniture is still outside, and holiday cookies and other foods are visible in the display cases.

It sure looks like it’s closed for good, and if so, I don’t expect many of us would be surprised. But Josephine being Josephine, this could all be standard operating procedure. I’m calling around to see if I can find out for sure. If you know anything, let’s hear it.

UPDATE: The woman I thought was the owner emailed me that “I live in London now and I don’t have much news.”

UPDATE #2: I just heard from someone who would know that Josephine did indeed close.

  1. This place has so much charm and promise, but I’ve never experienced worse service in my life. I amazed they hung on this long.

    • With you on that. So much potential, so little service. On my last and final visit, I waited 1+ hrs for an undercooked omelette, and that was giving them a second chance on similar prior inexcusable offense.

  2. I for one am sorry to hear this. I know service was spotty but they were always very warm to me and I loved their goat cheese salad and iced coffee. Not surprised, but saddened.
