Restaurants near The James Hotel

Food was great, steaks cooked to perfection. Service was exceptional.

We had a business meal with 8 and I cannot think of anyway to improve our evening. Our single wait staff handled our entire food and beverage service professionally, friendly and quickly with absolutely no mistakes, she was The Best. The food is as it always is at Taverna, second to none. Wonderful appetizers, spectacular mains and a good selection of drinks to accompany any choice of food. We all had an evening to remember

Back at Little Grouse.. I wish I had another place to compare it to, but it is just so hard to eat anywhere else when it is this good. Chef Brian continues to knock it out of the park! Went alla famiglia again and not a disappointment to be had - snapped a few pics then on the last few courses, we were too eager to dive in. Meatballs (always have to), focaccia (like Nona just made it for you), the scallops with the parsnip soup were melt-in-your-mouth, the squash risotto (don’t sleep on the amaretti cookies - insane how well they pair), and let me tell you about the new way to eat lasagna.. the cheesy girella with the bolognese and pomodoro 🤤🤤🤤 - I call it fancy, with soul! Then to burst our guts even more, we jumped on the Striploin with Nduja braised lentils, MY GOSH! Finished the whole evening with a chocolate budino with rum raisins and a coffee. Could not have asked for a better meal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just could not say enough about how great everything was and Brooke made it all the best!

This restaurant shares the kitchen with Carvers so there are real chefs making the food. We always have a nice quiet visit and an excellent meal.
