My husband brought me here for my birthday and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I don't like prefix menus but the options were diverse enough that it did not feel like I was being forced to eat something I didn't want. The wait staff were kind, educated, and I loved that they ask about allergies or dietary limits at the table because I am allergic to eggplant. The food was out of this world delicious. I have never had food that made me fall in love until now. The different flavors combined with one another is like fireworks in your mouth. My husband and I discussed the different flavors of our meals and of course shared. We also loved the open kitchen atmosphere and how the chef's/su chef's interacted together without yelling and helping one another out. Chef Kelly I believe her name was is the pastry chef and her cheesecake is the most decadent thing I have ever had. Not too sweet, it is perfection. We cannot wait to go back when their menu switches over! Thank you for a fantastic evening, it's one I will always rave about!!

Took my wife here for her 35th birthday and James on Main lived up to one of the top restaurants in NJ. The three course menu was beautifully designed for the seasonal flavors and we can't wait to go back!

Beautiful restaurant and delicious everything. Prix fix 2 or 3 course. Very attentive servers. Only disappointment was no lactose free option for coffee or dessert other than an offer of fruit.

Recently had my birthday party catered through James on Main and everyone raved about the food all night (biggest hit was the mac and cheese!). They were so professional, accommodating and pleasant to work with. Will absolutely be catering through this restaurant again in the near future and would recommend to anyone else looking to cater their events as well. Thank you! (Low quality photo- high quality service 😂)

What a gem! I don't know about y'all but I go out to eat for the food and overall experience. James on Main delivers in spades. The dishes are fresh, thoughtful and deliciously executed in a way that's usually only found in the big city. The chef has chops and clearly isn't concerned with conforming to the general populations demands. I'll be back to scour the menu for more deliciousness. They had Pluma Iberico on the menu, and it was on point! Can't give it 5 stars ✨️ across the board, as that's reserved for the otherworldly establishments that knock us into another food dimension. But......it's one of thee only 5 star joints in this part of Jersey ✌️

Perfect Pop-Up Valentine's Weekend Brunch! We'll be back in April to celebrate our Anniversary definitely ❤️!

Parking: Sundays street parking in free. There is also town parking lot near by.

Kid-friendliness: The Waitress was incredibly attentive from start to finish. Complete transparency into the kitchen. Clean, organized & absolutely fantastic warm & friendly atmosphere. It is small inside so reservations are a must!

Wonderful service. Our server was so warm and friendly. We had an excellent charcuterie. I chose the chilled buckwheat noodle salad and the American wagyu for dinner. We shared the cheesecake special and had cappuccino too. Everything was excellent from start to finish. There's really nothing like a wonderful meal prepared with everything fresh. Even the little garnishes were intentional and delicious.

Food is good but not many choices for vegetarians.
The female server kept bugging us. Hard to converse without being interrupted every 15min. It was rushed, like in the covid days of eat it & beat it...an appetizer, entree, dessert & coffee in 90min.
Website: opens 4:30.
Reservations: 5:00
Arrived: 4:45. Wait outside 15min they're still cleaning up from a private party.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time I've been here and it's always really good. They rotate their menu every once in a while, so there's always new stuff and everything I've had there and seen other people eat has been amazing.
