“ The James in Babylon Village is a whole vibe—beautiful decor, warm and inviting atmosphere, and food that’s out of this world. The James Salad with lobster was super fresh, and the Ribeye with Brussels sprouts and Fries? Pure magic. Total flavor explosion. Paola at the bar made amazing drinks and had the sweetest energy. Can’t wait to go back! ”
“ I’d give this place an 11/10. As someone new to the area, I wasn’t sure what to expect—especially since I showed up in gray leggings and a sporty Lululemon‐style sweater at what turned out to be a rather upscale restaurant. From the moment I stepped inside, though, the hostess, my server, and every team member made me feel genuinely welcome. My waitress was outstanding—warm, attentive, and full of spot‐on recommendations. I kicked things off with a refreshing lychee martini and a pile of baked clams that were simply divine. Next came a skinny margarita made with reposado tequila, followed by a perfectly cooked wagyu steak alongside roasted potatoes and caramelized sweet onions—absolutely mouthwatering. For dessert, I tried an espresso martini for the first time, and it was executed flawlessly. In every respect, this meal blew me away. 11/10! ”
“ This is my first time at The James and I will most certainly be back! Abby was so efficient and sweet, she had great recommendations and made sure we were taken care of at all times. The food was wonderful and the drinks were a 10/10. For appetizers we got the beef tartar, tuna crudo, oysters and caviar bumps. For dinner we got the cowboy ribeye, beef Wellington, pork chop, NY strip, brussel sprouts and mac and cheese. ”
“ My wife and I had dinner tonight at THE JAMES in Babylon to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We started the evening at the bar, taking advantage of their excellent happy hour menu. Afterward, we were seated in the dining room for dinner where we shared a 40-ounce Tomahawk steak topped with Bone Marrow Butter. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was absolutely delicious. For our sides, we ordered Duck Fat Confit Gratin Potato and Charred Broccolini. Both were flavorful and well prepared. Our server Ana was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional, offering exceptional hospitality throughout the night. Before dinner, we were surprised with a glass of champagne and a personalized anniversary card. This thoughtful touch made our evening even more special. Another unique aspect of The James is their food claim check system. If you have leftovers, they carefully pack them up and provide a claim check number allowing you to pick them up before you leave. From start to finish, we had a wonderful dining experience and have only good things to say about The James. Highly recommend. ”
“ For the first time dining at The James my wife and I had a great time celebrating our 11 year anniversary. Even on a Saturday night during “rush hour” the service was top tier, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. We really enjoyed the Crab Cake, Tomahawk Steak, Duck Fat Gratin Potatoes, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Overall I’d recommend The James based upon our experience and we will be returning for certain. Special shout out to our Waitress Ana Besy who made the experience memorable with her fantastic service. ”
