Our evening at James & Main was incredible, a perfect date for our end of the week. The ambience is stunning, and the food tops even that! We started with their homemade Italian sodas (dry January!) which were delicious, the Main Street salad, and the beef tartar. All the appetizers were great but the star goes to the salad which was a blend of flavors such that each bite was differently amazing. For dinner we had the lasagna nonna (perfect sauce!) and the grilled pork chop over polenta. Both stole the show but the grilled pork chop won me over with its sauce! We finished with the bread pudding for dessert which was honestly the best I’ve had in YEARS. The food was fantastic, but I would be remiss to say that our server Christie made this into a five star experience. She was perfectly attentive, offering great suggestions on what we might like without being overbearing during our meal. When each course came out she appeared with things we didn’t even know we needed (extra sharing spoons, more bread for the sauces)! We can’t wait to go back!!

The bar area of the restaurant is beautiful-- sat with a friend at a high top in the bar last night. The food was very, very bad. Had a salad with added grilled shrimp. The portion was tiny, toppings were minimal and worst of all were the shrimp. So overcooked they were completely hard, as in difficult to even cut. Perhaps they were from a few days ago and refired a few times. Not even edible and I am not a super picky person. The server kindly removed it from our bill… but for a first impression, this wasn’t a good one.

Nice an cozy atmosphere with excellent service. For appetizers we had the General Tso Rock Shrimp and the Crab Croquettes which both really good . For the entrees we had the Lasagna, Chicken Milanese and the Roasted rack of Lamb, all were delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try.
