As wonderful as our experience was, it was eclipsed by the seamless, professional and engaging server, Meghan. She was fabulous. She answered our questions about the menu with pinpoint accuracy as we took her suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It's a gorgeous space and we'll definitely be back.

We stopped at James for a light supper. I ordered the meatballs which was an appetizer. My husband had a salad with chicken. Our food was served promptly and we were able to take advantage of the Happy Hour prices. We left satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant for a light supper.

We were here for Sunday brunch and much of the food looked fantastic and got excellent reviews. However, I was dissatisfied with my Philly Benedict. The ribeye was dry and the poached eggs were hard. Just a miss! My friend who ordered the Classic Benedict had properly prepared eggs and was very happy. For this type of restaurant, an egg fail is really disappointing. Ambiance. Great musical trio.

Amazing food. Helpful staff. Right across the street from Four Seasons(Comcast Tower) & Vernick Fish but it's a more reasonable price.??️

This place was ok. I normally dont give reviews unless the place is really good or really bad but in this case I thought it would be worth a past to help some others. My real complaint is the staff seemed uninterested in serving the customers. The bar was full and there were 3 bartenders with a fairly empty restaurant. The wait staff hung out at the end of the bar and visited with the bartenders so they neglected to refresh drinks, take orders, etc. While this was the only time I stopped in, it always runs me wrong when staff stand around talking and patrons have to wait. Other than that the food was descent and they did have a good selection of bourbons, vodkas, and other spirits. If you are more patient than me I would say give it a shot otherwise, you may swing by any other number of bar restaurants in the area.

I'm not going to bash them, but my steak came out cold and there were like 10 total people in the restaurant. I asked them to warm it up for me and they did it. The food tastes decent and the apps were pretty good.
Get your act together! This place has the best burger in town. And maybe the best fries. But over the last two years service has been consistently poor. The servers take forever to bring your food. Then I ordered food for pickup and had to wait 20 min not for the food but for the waitress to bring me my receipt to sign ? Then the hostess, he places my food on the ground while I’m waiting. In what f*$$king world?? Best of all my $20 burger with no fries was in a styrofoam case in an unbranded paper bag. Guys your next to Vernick, Four Seasons, and even tap house. You’re the value spot but you still got to step your game up.

The James Restaurant was right across the street from my hotel in downtown Philly so after checking in I walked over for dinner. The bar area was packed with 30 year olds out for Thurs night. I got a table with a view of one of the TVs. Service was quick and they recommended the Philly which I had and it was great. That and a beer and I was happy. There were plenty of good options on the menu. If you are looking for good food at a fair price with quick service, this is your place.

The onion rings are basically donuts! Classic american fare with a city twist that keeps the place competing with the likes of Misconduct etc. The decor is laid back and simple which keeps it relaxing. Rosemary chicken breast was good but a bit overcooked. The person i ate with got the wings and thought they were great. There were several sauces offered. Glanced at the draft list and it was pretty comprehensive. Check it out.
It is always a pleasure going to James. We particularly love going for their Sunday Brunch as they have a live Jazz band. Our almost 2 yr old daughter loves watching them place and she dances along to the music! The staff is always so kind and friendly. The food is also always incredible. We ordered the Lox & Bagel Board, Chicken Noodle Soup (which is a great and different take on the classic soup), The Philly Benny, and the Brunch Burger. All of it was delicious! We have loved coming to James since they hosted our daughter's baptism and we cannot wait to go back again!
