In Midtown Houston, a new dining spot is revamping Southern and Gulf Coast culinary traditions. Josephine's, the restaurant making waves at the location formerly occupied by Izakaya.

The place delivers with items like chicken and andouille gumbo and a stand-out smoked redfish dip that the Houston Chronicle's Alison Cook described as loaded with supple hunks of Texas farm-raised fish and revved with vibrant lemon remoulade.

There's room here for international influences too, including Vietnamese and African touches—an embodiment of the city's melting pot culture that The Infatuation highlighted in their review. Cook raved about the diverse oyster selection, where, always with one wild oyster from San Leon’s Prestige oyster company in the daily mix, diners find themselves in briny bliss.
