Josie Restaurant Description:
Chef Josie's uncomplicated menu is a reflection of her healthy approach to eating as well as her flair for flavor-rich combinations. She has orchestrated an original melody of classic cuisine and comfort foods, ranging from the enticing Pan Seared Duck with Savory Hawthorn Berry Sauce to the homey rib-eye steak with Pop's Peppercorn Sauce.
Josie Le Balch and her husband, general manager Frank Delzio, have worked at some of the Southland's most prestigious and hip spots, including Saddle Peak Lodge and the now defunct Beach House. Le Balch combines her French cooking heritage, her multicultural exposure and her years of practice with fish and game to deliver sophisticated cuisine with solid dishes. You get a balanced menu that will endure, but also the promise of daily specials based on her mood or market availability. Appetizers like sautéed frogs' legs over celery root purée or the bacon-wrapped grilled quail will get you started. How about a Lake Superior whitefish, a Moroccan-style tagine of beef short ribs or a buffalo burger topped with foie gras to continue her game tradition? A mostly California wine list will help you wash all of this down. Frank is serious about wine, so let him surprise you with one of his finds. Don't pass up the chocolate bread pudding from pastry chef Jonna Jensen for dessert. Go for a drink in the cozy back room or have dinner at a table next to the fireplace and let romance take things from there.
