The menu selection overall was expansive, the food had good flavor, the portions were appropriate. Server was very attentive and did an outstanding job. Appetizers and Main Course arrived quickly. Our only negative was that, everything considered, was a bit pricey for a party of three.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had! The steak was to die for and you have to follow it up with the Irish brownie.

We went to The James Watson House for dinner for the first time tonight and it definitely will not be our last! The food was fantastic and our server Cornell was very nice and attentive.

Huge disappointment, zero flavor fried green tomatoes, zero seasoning in breading. Sad budget cut of dry aged steak.

This was without a doubt the best meal I have ever had. This restaurant has absolutely no business being this good and I've truly never eaten so much in my life. I will be back, despite living hours away I will make the trip specifically for this food. Service was equally spectacular. if you find yourself reading this review stop reading and RUN to this place.
Parking: Parking spots on street in front of restaurant. Additional lot around back.
Wheelchair accessibility: Roll in accessible front door, and wide space between tables, good amount of low top tables available.

Had reservations for 5pm for 2. Got there 15 minutes early and we were seated right away. Never got waited on. We sat there for 15 minutes before asking someone that was bussing a table if we could get service. The response was "Oh". We sat there longer watching waiters and waitresses bussing tables and conversating with each other. At the same time they kept looking over at us but not one person came over. After sitting there for 30 minutes we got up and walked out. The young man that sat us said to have a nice evening. We proceeded to tell him that we were never served and he responded with "OK". No apologies or attempts to correct the problem. We have heard that this place was good and that we should try it out, so we did. Our first impression isn't good and we likely will not attempt a return to this restaurant.

Had an absolutely fantastic meal for our anniversary in August of 2024. Great cocktails, salads and perfectly prepared bacon wrapped steaks. Destiny was our server and she couldn't have been better. Thanks for a vacation quality experience right in our home town. We'll done !

Food was extremely over priced for the quality. $47 for a steak that was less quality then Texas Roadhouse is insane. Service was a little slow. Nice atmosphere though

The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the crab cakes were delicious with an hint of sweetness from the aioli. All the food was excellent, although it was noisy with our table being in the open. There were large food crumbs on all the seats around me, The tables were cleaned, but I expected it to be cleaner as we arrived well before the dinner rush (4:45).
Not exactly what we were anticipating. The inside is very cute but not a restaurant you would need to get all dressed up for. Food is pricey for what get. It's not that we would never go back but if we had an option to go elsewhere I feel we would.

10 Mom’s from a Dup15q Disability Group came to eat for a Retreat we were in and had a fantastic experience! My Willshire was exceptional and our waitress Maddie was top notch!! She even made sure we had special pictures to remember our experience. Thank you Maddie!!

The food tasted amazing, when it finally arrived, and the atmosphere was very nice and enjoyable. The kitchen service was VERY slow - it took a very long time to get food to our table. We arrived at 5:00 and didn't leave until 7:00 (2 hours)...we spent most of the time sitting and waiting on food. If the kitchen was more efficient, it would have been a perfect rating!!
Most of the menu items were unavailable. Only one choice of steak available. Was rushed out without offering more drinks or dessert even though closing was over half hour away. Only positive was the steak option available was cooked perfectly. After an initial first visit, was very excited to come back. This is not the case after our second visit. Too many other options to pay this much for disappointment.
