   I guess I had a high expectation after looking at the prices on the menu.... Comparing it to places like Ruth's chris. First off the place was so loud that my wife and I could not even have a conversation at all. To top it off they were play music you couldn't even understand what music was playing or what song is was.... which added to the noisy chaos!! After getting water and ordering drinks. Somebody came along and put a piece of bread in a bag with a knife stuck in it on the table. No. Cutting board no words. Finally time to order dinner. The waitress took the order which was simple. When the order came , it was not completed. The bus boy that brought the meal was told that we needed a order of asparagus. The waitress came over with a chip on her shoulder and stated that we never ordered any asparagus and how can she help. I got annoyed with the whole thing and she told me It is my job to be nice. (Crazy) I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone and I would never eat there again. Other than that the food was just okay! Couldn't wait to get out of there.....

   Such a fabulous experience. Lucked out with private seating behind curtains. Tried 7 different dishes that were each incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection. Definitely will return. One of the greatest restaurants I’ve been to in a while. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   Our first time at the James It will not be our last. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff fussed over us and gave us Prosecco with our dessert. Delicious food. Excellent service loved it loved it loved it!

   Our first time eating at The James- wont be the last. I had the signature espresso martini which was delicious. Tuna Crudo as an appetizer- so good, the filet was cooked perfectly, Brussel sprouts were one of the best I have ever had. My husband had the beef wellington and loved it. We split the toffee pudding, so good & the presentation made it all the better. Our sever, Ana Besy was wonderful.. 5:5! Definitely recommend!

    I have eaten here 3 times and never had a bad experience. The service is always top notch, amazing drinks & food, and the place is gorgeous. I love this spot to eat with friends whether it's couples or a girls night, I always have the best time! Me and my boyfriend agreed that we will be coming back for date night!!!
