Christoffer JakobsenMay 24, 2016Monday is burger night! Tried the chef's special and lamb burgers. Both were great.
Lemon ricotta cheesecake with yuzu, mint, and blueberry brittle.
Joseph AlpernJanuary 4, 2012Steak and Eggs all the way. Scone trumps the Brioche in my book, and their bloody mary's come with a pickled carrot ! Tasty....=]
- Theresa FranciscoMarch 2, 2016Intimate and great service. The food was fantastic. But i would say for special occations $$$
BrooklynMuseumMay 23, 2011Staff Pick! Danny (Curatorial): Great for a date before First Saturdays, but best on Monday night's Burger Night ($20 dollar taste for $7 dollars...take that Wendy's value meal).
Jason BradyMarch 18, 2013Corner table in the front window. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes w/side of Duck sausage and a French 75 w/ St Germaine. Oh yeah!
For brunch, try the pulled pork on a cheddar scone. You will not be disappointed.
They're constantly refreshing their menu and have a great wine/cocktail list. Friendly staff, great service all around!
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 6, 2012CIA Alum and owner of “James,” Bryan Calvert named his restaurant after his grandfather who was also a chef. The love of food truly runs in this family tree.
Great burger and an amazing bar selection. Great place to have a cocktail and chat with the bartender.
Donovan RodriquesMay 1, 2011Pancakes and fritata absolutely delicious. The bloody mary divine. The service is slow, but it comes with the warmest smile.
Maya MeredithFebruary 28, 2016Order the bread! It's a brioche that's only sold on weekends from Joyce Bakery nearby.
Jason BradyJune 20, 2021Don’t recommend it. We waited more than 15 mins past our reservation to be seated. Took an act of Congress to get additional cocktails. Asked by hostess to hurry up because they needed the table.
Tarah FeinbergJuly 19, 2011One of the best burgers I've ever had, with VT cheddar and herb (chive and dill) fries. Read more
I usually love James, but I did not love his frittata at brunch. It was flavorless & so disappointing. Luckily my side of bacon led me to feel less quiet-inside about it.
Social NYCFebruary 11, 2012GREAT brunch- they have Burger Monday's that we hear is great too- must.try.soon.
James has a lot of local ingredients but doesn't advertise it quite as prominently as some places in the neighborhood. Romantic atmosphere.
I think about their spinach salad a few times per week. I shave my parmesan differently. Their brunch is under hyped. James is great.
Jonah EatonApril 17, 2015It's certainly on the expensive side, but still a great place to go on a date
Sunday prix fixe dinner is great. Bring a date and do splitsies so you can sample the whole menu!
Georgia LuddeckeDecember 23, 2016All of our food was delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the vibe was just what we were looking for. Make sure you get the bread while you wait for your food!
Rubina FillionSeptember 26, 2011Go on a Sunday for the $30 three-course prix fixe. Great seasonal menu.
Chandra GhosalApril 5, 2019The burger was solid but I wish I ordered something else. The space was nice. The drinks were slow even though it wasn’t packed.
Go for the burger-pint happy hour. Beautiful bar. Service is good. Great when Mom and Dad are in town.
Apparently the chocolate ganache cake is amazing, but they didn't have it when I was here (the mustard greens were the best I've ever eaten though!)
CompassAugust 12, 2013A slew of food and design industry buzz keeps this fine dining spot full of people as pretty as the plates.
- Tarah FeinbergJuly 19, 2011Fresh, delicious oysters, served with bloody mary cocktail sauce. Read more
Love the place - but today with a low sun, unbelievable how much DUST flying around!!!!
Tekne VisionApril 18, 2011Lavender creme brûlée is a yes. Subtle, but lavender-y on the first bite. Yum!
Leah EllisSeptember 13, 2010Service is unreliable, based on several visits. But salads are always amazing. Fries top notch.
Carmen da SilvaJune 27, 2011Gimmie coffee and good burger happy hour specials (brunch could be better). Read more
