Best Continental Restaurants in Sayville

First time there. Painters was a little loud (Big Location). OK. Food was excellent. Menu was loaded and then add the specials...You will not be hungry. Service was super. Rich our waiter was excellent. I will be back.

The James has definitely become one of my favorite restaurants! Every staff member is so incredibly nice and helpful! I have difficult food restrictions, and the chef couldn’t be more accommodating. Matt, the Manager is so friendly, and kind, as was Carlos, our server! Perfect way to celebrate my birthday!

The food was all prepared perfectly and the wait staff was so spot on. Couldn’t be happier to bring our family there.

We asked for seating up upstairs and glad we did! So much quieter up there. We could talk across the table without having to say “what?” all the time! The food was really good-our party had the artichoke salad (very different,very good), the short rib pappadelle with homemade noodles(melt in your mouth short ribs), the ricotta cavatelli (good, but over-garlicky, I was told) and chicken Milanese (so good). Spilt the peanut butter crunch cake— more a mousse than a cake imho, but a tasty end to a lovely meal. We ordered the California Merlot, the reasonably priced one(lol) and it opened up deliciously. Oh, I cannot forget the service: from the young man at valet parking, the women hostess & coat check, waiter and bus boys— all lovely and thoughtful. It was a delightful evening!

Very cozy location with excellent staff. The food was perfect and the drinks were better.
