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!

Went to Primi for the first time. We were seated immediately but near the bar. The noise level was intense. We’re older people so could barely hear each other. I have to say the food was delish. We shared a wedge salad; he got the filet and I got the Wellington. Next time I would say sauce on the side. Way too much and it made a mess of the delicious mashed potatoes that came with it. The crème brûlée and cappucino were outstanding. I would go back but next time ask for a table in the other room when I make the reservation.
