“Went for a birthday dinner and I am happy she chose this place. This place was so good. A 5-star experience that I did not expect. Because of the location you would think it was just an average restaurant but this place is offering a fine dining experience. I loved my cocktail it was perfectly made. I ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer they weren't bad but they weren't great either. My entree was as seafood pasta. It was a little pricy but for the portion size and quality it was definitely worth it.i I will definitely go there again.“

“AURORA's PLACE for FOODIES!James Place has always been our Friday date night spot because of the friendly atmosphere with comfort food, libations and regulars. With the new year, the tables are set with linen and white china-the perfect background for Chef Ian's rotating and creative cuisine. An eclectic shuffling of melodies flow through the cozy space. My most recent experience was a delight. The strip steak was seasoned and grilled to perfection accompanied by potatoes lyonnaise and steamed broccoli. Not only delicious but a beautiful presentation emphasized by Brandon's twirl of the plate. Dessert of poached baby Bosc pear in Beaujolais sauce ended dinner on a high note. And what's not to love about sipping a Caymus Cabernet by the glass?Bravo to the James Gang for their continuous efforts toward excellence in food, service and atmosphere :) Reservations highly recommended!“

“Cozy, hidden gem of a restaurant. The lighting sets the mood upon entrance. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Full restaurant, but not too loud. I've tried almost everything on the menu at least once, and never had a bad experience. Tonight, french onion soup and a mushroom soup special. Both amazing. Entrees, chicken Collette and chicken pot pie. Both very tasty, hot, and well seasoned. Creme brulee for dessert. Devoured. Everything again, was a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend.... Make reservations for sure......“
