Legit a real hidden gem, it's always an incredible time. Also, they have a vegan option that they have clearly put a lot of thought into, which my girlfriend appreciates, as most places will just serve up storebought vegan bacon or something, whereas here the dish is constructed from scratch, it's really a nice touch, and it goes a long way for people looking for that quality. For the rest of the dishes, it's a small restaurant, but their menu is adventurous. I have been to both this place, and Knuckles across the street, and honestly Knuckles falls short in comparison. It's a decent restaurant, but Knuckles is like experimental haute cuisine, and it can get a little pretentious (and pricey!) with the concepts, but falling short on the flavours... and it wasn't all that memorable. Whereas I've been to Chez Josie a bunch of times, and even brought my parents who own a restaurant, just because I know I can expect very flavoursome food, reasonable prices, and the atmosphere is really fun. It's got a winning recipe inside and out. The only thing I'll say that's a criticism- and it's kind of a small thing- but if it's busy on a weekend, the music from the bar can get really loud, and if you're eating, it can be hard to hear the person across from you! But honestly, that's it. If you're looking for a really great spot, with food to impress, you really can't go wrong with this place. They clearly care about the food, and the experience, and if you go in summer, their terrace is awesome. 10/10
