Josephine's Modern American Bistro

Set in a beautifully preserved Craftsman bungalow, Josephine's is Flagstaff's go-to for a special-occasion dinner. The historic house — with its stone fireplace and welcoming rooms — gives the place a warmth that no chain restaurant can fake, and the kitchen matches it with refined, Southwestern-leaning American cooking.

In the warm months the patio is one of the loveliest places to eat in town, shaded and relaxed. Whatever the season, the cooking is thoughtful and the service polished without being stuffy.

It is the kind of place worth booking ahead for an anniversary, a birthday, or simply a night when you want the meal itself to be the event. An easy, memorable choice from any Flagstaff rental when the occasion calls for something a little special.
