The James reminds you of what service and quality used to be like in the era of suits and ties, handkerchiefs and lace. There is a Great Gatsby feel to this brick and mortar two story restaurant and it works from the lighting to the artwork, the decor is pleasing to the eye. Our waiter Michael was fantastic, knowledgeable, and never rushed us. The food was delicious, well portioned, and served quickly. We had the tuna appetizer, pork chop, steak frites, and key lime pie. Everything was on point. The pork chop was juicy, savory, and just the right amount of heat . The steak frites was extremly tender and well cooked. The complimentary drinks were a nice touch and a very uncommon practice in this era of nickel and diming customers for everything. We felt appreciated as patrons and that speaks volumes about the customer service. The James is the finest restaurant in Babylon and one of the finest restaurants in Long Island.

A great place for whatever kind of night you are looking to have. We have done Sunday all day happy hour, formal sit down dinners upstairs, drinks and appetizers at the bar, and even attended their hosted local charity events. From the moment you walk in, they set the tone that it is going to be a special night.
The food is outstanding, and the espresso martini is a must. They will even make a decaf version if you ask. We love ordering a little of everything and sharing with friends because it is nearly impossible to choose just one dish.
Also worth noting, any previous comment about a credit card charge issue was not the restaurant’s fault. It turned out to be the individual’s bank taking over a week to release a standard pre authorized charge.
This is our go to spot for a night out any time of year. See you at The James.

To start, I must say our dinner at The James was during a popular time for holiday parties. As such, I will need to return in the coming months when things calm down. However this review is our first time dining at the restaurant and during busy holiday time of year.
To start, we arrived early for our 6pm reservations to have a cocktail, walking in around 5pm the bar was packed and extremely loud. I slipped inbetween people to order a drink that once the bartender reached me all went well. Cocktails were made perfect and bartender was quick to cover demand. Wish we could have sat down but majority of the tables were reserved for parties.
With others of our party arriving, we were sat at a table upstairs and greeted by our servers. They were busy but very attentive to our needs through out dinner. We ordered Baked Clams that were absolutely excellent. Followed by Lobster Pasta, Cod Fish and their Tomahawk steak special for two. My wife and I had the steak which was prepared to our request but was a bit fatty. I might be spoiled by other steak houses here on Long Island but dont think it stacks up to those as its competition. However all in all. It was good and I will go back to try at a quieter time and provide a update.

Realllly phenomenal experience at The James thanks to Tori.
She took the time to go over the drink specials and menu, and I ended up going with the skirt steak which was excellent. Her service was attentive, pure, and she made sure everything at our table was running smoothly the whole night.
To end the dinner she offered tea, coffee, or dessert which was a great touch;
I went with the tea since she recommended it. Tori is definitely top tier and made the whole experience even better.

Our Server Jasmine was amazing. We came in to celebrate my husband’s birthday & she made sure it was nothing short of perfect. Food was delicious & the ambiance is lovely. We will be back again to sit with her & to enjoy more of this restaurant.

First time at The James. Place was so beautifully decorated, staff was very sweet and accommodating, but my favorite was the manager Sean. He kept coming to our table asking if all was ok. Always with a smile. He was knowledgeable about the food and drinks, giving us some good advice on what to order. We tried the caviar pump for the first time and he instructed us on how to properly eat it. Food was super tasty and drinks were strong. We definitely will be coming back to visit Sean. He made this experience 10 times better. Thank you!

I came in with high expectations, and the ambience was incredible. The service was great—everyone was very kind and made our birthday feel special, which we really appreciated.
The food itself is very expensive, but the portion sizes were perfect. You get a fair amount for what you pay. Unfortunately, my counterpart and I had a bad experience with the meat. We ordered the filet mignon, and for $130, it was disappointing that the steak was overcooked. We didn’t ask for a replacement because we were starving, but it came out very overdone and honestly a bit cold. The flavor was still good, but for that price, it should’ve been perfect. I understand it was busy, and overall the service was still solid—our waitstaff was incredible, very polite and attentive. There were a few moments where we waited a bit, but nothing unreasonable, and it did give us time to get our appetite back.
One highlight was the dessert. The cake was amazing—18 layers of pure goodness. I’d definitely recommend getting that.

Elegant party venue! I hosted a bridal shower for my daughter on Saturday. Everything was just perfect! Samantha and the staff worked seamlessly to insure the shower was a success. They even helped with setting up and breaking down the room! Our guests raved about the food and service! I felt relaxed leaving the details of the shower in their very capable hands! Thank you for a most memorable day!
