A truly delightful dining experience. Each dish is carefully and individually prepared with the utmost attention to detail using the best ingredients – often sourced directly from local farms. An intimate and eclectic dining space that makes you feel very comfortable and special. A friendly and attentive waitstaff – knowledgeable and helpful. A perfect restaurant for that special occasion that deserves only the best. Delicious.

A delightful restaurant and worth a trip (we drove 45 minutes). It’s not fancy, but the somewhat basic decor belies the quality of food and service. We started with the warm baguette and sweet potatoes, both excellent. The tuna poke and strawberry salad were both very good (but the salad was slightly overdressed, maybe get dressing on the side). Then we had the gnocchi and scallops, both delicious. We concluded with the profiteroles (good) and cheesecake (great). Highly recommended.

It’s was our first time here. Food was fantastic! Fresh, cooked over a wood fired grill, and they used cast irons too. The truffle fries are the best I’ve ever had! You must get them. There are 2 pre fix menus, 2 courses or 3 courses. They both had so many good options to choose from. The cheese cake was homemade from scratch. The best cheese cake I’ve ever had! Our entrees were perfectly cooked too. You could buy a bottle of wine if you like. The restaurant was clean and cozy. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Definitely a wonderful experience!

I have been looking forward to going here for a long time and it did not disappoint. Food and service were spectacular. Street parking was easy on a Friday night. Limited wine list and BYOB. Ordered the three course prix fixe – Duck ravioli, pork belly and lamb chops… All amazing. Coconut cheesecake for dessert, incredible. Highly recommended for special occasions and memorable nights.

This restaurant is a hidden gem!!! The food is creative and delicious. My family ordered the 3 course option and everything was amazing. The shrimp are huge and perfectly prepared!! The french onion soup was cheesy and delicious. I would highly recommend leaving room for their chocolate cake or cheesecake!!! Nice atmosphere, very cozy. The staff are incredibly friendly and answer any questions about the menu. We will definitely be back soon!!

A private dining experience with the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs at James on Main that was stellar! Each course was meticulously prepared and the marriage of taste, texture, and presentation was absolutely 5 stars! I’ll definitely be back for their regular menu.

I had an exceptional dining experience at “James on Main.” The 3-course meal exceeded all expectations. Each dish was prepared with precision and bursting with flavor. The chocolate chip cheesecake for dessert was the perfect ending – rich, creamy, and absolutely divine. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the service was impeccable. “James on Main” truly delivers a culinary masterpiece that I won’t forget. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

The food quality and the staff were excellent and accommodating! My wife loved her selections and I too enjoyed the meal. My only negative would be that for the price, it was not a great feeling to be up charged for one of the main proteins offered on the menu. FYI: Two people, 3 courses was $230 with gratuity. We added a side of fries and enjoyed them at home. Regardless, we will be back and bring some friends!
