Cafe Josie vs.Jezebel?

[amykragan]

What is your favorite dish at these two places?

[amykragan]

I haven't been to either one but they are both on my list and I have a birthday dinner coming up. Since I didn't know enough about either one, I'd thought I'd decide by which dish sounded best. Guess it's my version of roulette!

I think the Jezebel is a league above Josie. Josie is nice, and the food is decent, but nothing more. The inspiration is limited, while Jezebel has a much deeper repertoire.

What do like to order at Jezebel?

For appetizer: "Trio of sashimi (ahi [tuna], Norwegian salmon and Alaskan halibut) in sesame seed oil and pepper vinegar"

Entree: "
Succulent ten hour slow braised Colorado lamb shank
with spiced sweet potatoes and pomegranate – tamarind glaze"

I do like " Dark French chocolate and dried spice crusted Atlantic salmon, mashed potatoes, greens, with garlic and caper infused olive oil" though I know people who find the chocolate overwhelming.

Last time I was there I had a surf and turf special which was excellent.

Dessert: The warm bread pudding of pumpkin is very good.

I know people who hate Jezebel, something in the atmosphere, the service, the ambiance, the sauces just doesn't sit well with them. Though the majority of friends and colleagues I know like the place a lot.

I do regret the good old days when it was BYOB...

Josie: Pepita Redfish
Jezzy: braised lamb or the foie gras

These are pretty different venues, why are you linking these two?
