    We recently dined at The James to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant’s decor was beautiful—elegant and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly valued as guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. To make the evening even more memorable, the staff surprised us with a glass of champagne each and a thoughtful birthday card for my husband. It was such a kind and personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Overall, it was an exceptional evening, and I would definitely return. Whether for a celebration or just a nice dinner out, this is a place I would highly recommend

    We had a delicious dinner at this quiet little gem in Massapequa. Appetizer - Escargot was seasoned to perfection. Dinner - Chicken Cordon Bleu, Beef Borganion, Trout Almondine, all had a beautiful presentation & were so tasty. Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Chef Aless even came to our table. It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my sister. We will be going back.

    Food and ambience was exception. Possibly the best lasagna I have ever eaten. Server was pleasant but service trailed off a tad as the restaurant filled up. Will definitely be back.
