About The James Room

The James Room offers delicious cocktails, albeit pricey. The ambiance is darker and louder inside, creating an exclusive, intimate lounge atmosphere. The place is often packed, and service can be slow, with a wait to be seated. The staff, including a friendly bartender and the host, do their best to provide good service, even when busy. The music, set by a DJ, adds energy to the space, making it lively and fun, especially with everyone dancing and enjoying the atmosphere. Food arrives surprisingly fast, fresh, and delicious, with the Harissa shrimp standing out. The two-hour seating limit can be restrictive, but the good food and atmosphere make it worth the visit. The drinks, such as the Espresso martini and Peach Cobbler, are highly recommended, though some cocktails like the pineapple + rum + something else can be watered down. The vibe is sexy and grown, attracting mainly people in their 30s and 40s, with smooth hip hop, R&B, and classic music creating a relaxed mood. The chef Jalliea is known for her attention to detail and passion for cuisine, with dishes like the kale salad w/ salmon and broccoli being standout favorites. The staff, including the bartender, owner, and chefs, are welcoming and accommodating, embodying black excellence. Although the kitchen closes early, guests often enjoy the spectacular drinks and the lively environment. Overall, with friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, The James Room is a great spot to return to for an exciting night out.
