THE JAMES

"Today, we decided to try The James restaurant for my husband's birthday. I was immediately concerned with the number of people that were dining out on a Thursday night and thought there would be a lack in service...at some point...somewhere....but that was NOT the case. Staff was attentive and friendly throughout the entire dining experience, and there was no lag in waiting for our dishes. Now let me talk about the food....although I miss their previous Thai chili calamari, their current calamari offers a delicious crisp and flavor. My husband ordered The James salad, everything tasted so good and had a freshness. We tried the rack of lamb special and their bone in steak special with some delicious butter sauce. My husband emptied his plate, and anyone that knows me, knows how much I love A1 sauce on a steak, especially if I dislike their marinade...let's just say....no A1 sauce was needed here. We finished off with the crème brûlée, again....I'm very picky about my crème brûlée lol and it was beyond amazing! I cannot wait to go back. Oh! One last thing! The new decor is stunning, no matter what area of the restaurant you sit in. Okay, that is all. Hope you are encouraged to try it!"

"Really nice addition to Babylon Village. Building looks great! Valet parking. Drinks were fabulous, food was delicious and well-presented. Service was top-notch. Definitely check this place out. My only suggestion would be to add acoustical tiles (it is way too loud in the dining area on the 2nd floor - you have to shout to hear your dinner companions). There is an elevator if you cannot do the stairs (or request a table on the first floor)"

"The James is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, everything was amazing. Our waiter, Michael, was incredibly helpful in explaining the menu to us. The food was delicious, starting from the mouthwatering bread they served us right down to the tasty dessert. We had an incredible time, thanks to the fantastic drinks and the immaculate atmosphere and vibe. The interior design is phenomenal, with lovely aesthetics that add to the charm of the place. Every detail in the restaurant was great, and we can't wait to come back!"

"The food was absolutely amazing. My favorite was the paccheri: short rib with pasta dish AMAZING!!! Apps were great: crab cake, duck Lorange, baked clams were scrumptious!! The only thing that I wanted was MORE of everything. It was that good !!! Such a great addition to Babylon Village !!! We will be back A Lot !!"
