What Audra H likes about James:
Skate fish! Most amazing fish dish EVER! It has a corn meal crust that is light but crunchy. The side dish of corn is delicious with a hint of citrus. You cannot go wrong with herb fries to start. The wine selection is excellent. Perfect for this outdoor beautiful weather. I'll be back for sure. View all feedback. What Mandy Lundstrom doesn't like about James:
This place has gone downhill. It used to be such a treat I haven’t been since COVID but I have such fond memories of many delicious meals there in what used to be a beautiful space. I was so excited to go back tonight but every single dish we got was disappointing in some way (lime granita with the oysters that was so frozen it was inedible, skate that was too salty, burrata that was way too salty and somehow off tas...

The restaurant James used to be a go-to spot for many with delicious meals in a beautiful space, but recent reviews suggest the experience has gone downhill. Multiple diners reported disappointing dishes, rushed timing, and even finding plastic in their food. Some specific dishes like the cornmeal dusted skate were criticized for being overly salty and lacking in flavor. However, there were still positive reviews, with some highlighting the delicious skate fish dish, standout burger and steak, and the amazing lemon ricotta pancakes for brunch. Overall, James is commended for its quality food, friendly service, and comfortable outdoor seating, making it a neighborhood favorite despite some mixed reviews on recent experiences.

Service was efficient, food was very good. The fried chickpeas were a big hit, as were the carrots with house-made ricotta.
