James On Main

They serve high end food made from the best ingredients they could buy, and combined in contrasting ways. The plating was also good. I think most would be happy with the food, however I did not personally find the food to be worth the price. The dishes lacked the creativity I would like from such an expensive restaurant, and furthermore the food was to salty in general, which detracted from the otherwise interesting flavors and fine ingredients. They do have excellent Gluten free options, so that's a plus for me. I wouldn't come again, but I'd encourage those who enjoy great ingredients to try them.

It’s always such a treat to eat here! The food is insanely delicious, of the highest quality and perfectly plated! I’ve run into the Chef/owner shopping for his daily menus at local farms - so you know it’s fresh! I also love the “open view” kitchen. Most restaurants don’t want customers to see inside the kitchen. Not only is it wonderful to see masters at their work but I imagine it is just as gratifying for Chef and the entire crew to see us, the customers, relishing each bite! Superb, always.

James On Main, what can I say about James On Main. Best food I've had. That being said this is my first venture into a more fine dining atmosphere because I never thought it would be worth the price but that just isn't true. Beginning with the starters, the burrata dish that I ordered was fantastic, best burrata I've ever had. It was creamy and the persimmon and raisins was a great addition to the burrata. My wife had the mushroom bisque which was another home run. It wasn't just mixed together, they put thought I to this bisque and layered everything throughout the cup to give you a great experience with every spoonful. I don't need to say a lot bout the second course because it will speak for it's self. The confit crispy duck that my wife has was amazing and so was so pork belly with soy that I had. Both perfectly done. If you know what those are you can just imagine. Our entrees were also not there to disappoint. I had the duck breast and my wife had the ribs. The duck breast was so tender and juicy it's something that I couldn't ever cook the way they did, and I am pretty good in the kitchen. The ribs my wife had I didn't get to try but she said we're top notch. At the end of the day would I eat there again, yes. I now have a better understanding of the more fine dining experience and will definitely say it was worth the money. The one downside I will say is they do not have any beer which seems like a missed opportunity with one of the better breweries around right across the street. Maybe a collaboration exclusive beer?

We had an excellent experience at James on Main. We did the 7 course tasting menu. The portions were the perfect size and the flavors were layered and complex. Jen our waitstaff was attentive and respectful. They even called us ahead of time to let us know they had a slight change in one of the courses which was a nice courtesy. Highly recommend!

I really wanted to be able to rate higher, but after our extremely disappointing experience last night, this place was a first and last for us. We saw the amazing reviews so wanted to check it out for a little date night. From the start, we didn’t get noticed by our waitress for probably 20 minutes before the girl that seated us finally came over and took our order instead. Mind you, this place is tiny with maybe 10-15 tables, so receiving service within a reasonable time frame should be easily attainable. We did the two course menu with an added side, and the side came out fairly quickly after we ordered. After that, it took a ridiculous amount of time to get our first and second courses. We didn’t end up eating our meal until 9:40…we got there at 8. When we asked if our food was coming soon, one of the waitresses responded “do you have somewhere to be?” Yes, here, where we made a reservation for dinner. We asked for the check as soon as our food came out 20 minutes after we asked about it. I think they forgot to put our order in entirely. Disappointing experience for mediocre food.

Under Covid restrictions they have limited capacity into the restaurant and now have a $95 Prix Fix menu for a 6 course meal, 2 provided by chef and 4 that you pick from the available options. To someone who has never been here it may seem expensive but when I say it's worth it, it is 100% without a doubt worth it!! The Chef is amazing and that's an understatement. I dined at James on Main on Friday, January 1, 2021 and the meal and service were phenomenal! The pictures attached are the courses me and my dining partner had. We had clean plates after every course and couldn't wait for the next one. Each course was just as amazing as the previous with such a balanced and unique flavor profile. Each course is perfectly crafted and plated. I cannot wait to come again and try more of the Chef's fabulous meals. It is BYOB but they do have a small selection of wines for bottle purchase at reasonable prices which pair well with the courses available. This place will not disappoint and exceed all expectations!!
