Small holiday dinner with coworkers. Everyone was impressed with the amazing atmosphere. From the lively bar to the gorgeous dinning room. Food and Service are excellent and the Wine List is amazing with lots of great options. Can’t say enough how happy I am that I chose The James for my team’s holiday party. Everyone had an incredible experience.

Whether at a table with friends or enjoying the expansive bar area, this is always an enjoyable experience. And the food is excellent and the drinks are perfectly prepared. Very creative on top of all.
