& quick.
Our meal choices were deliciously prepared, served with joy & the flavors were memorable.
Everyone who attended to us seemed happy to be there.
I highly recommend the house "Tiramisu" & the "Sticy Toffee Pudding" for dessert.

First time at The James. Place was so beautifully decorated, staff was very sweet and accommodating, but my favorite was the manager Sean. He kept coming to our table asking if all was ok. Always with a smile. He was knowledgeable about the foo...
d and drinks, giving us some good advice on what to order. We tried the caviar pump for the first time and he instructed us on how to properly eat it. Food was super tasty and drinks were strong. We definitely will be coming back to visit Sean. He made this experience 10 times better. Thank you!

To start, I must say our dinner at The James was during a popular time for holiday parties. As such, I will need to return in the coming months when things calm down. However this review is our first time dining at the restaurant and during bu...
sy holiday time of year.
To start, we arrived early for our 6pm reservations to have a cocktail, walking in around 5pm the bar was packed and extremely loud. I slipped inbetween people to order a drink that once the bartender reached me all went well. Cocktails were made perfect and bartender was quick to cover demand. Wish we could have sat down but majority of the tables were reserved for parties.
With others of our party arriving, we were sat at a table upstairs and greeted by our servers. They were busy but very attentive to our needs through out dinner. We ordered Baked Clams that were absolutely excellent. Followed by Lobster Pasta, Cod Fish and their Tomahawk steak special for two. My wife and I had the steak which was prepared to our request but was a bit fatty. I might be spoiled by other steak houses here on Long Island but dont think it stacks up to those as its competition. However all in all. It was good and I will go back to try at a quieter time and provide a update.
