    Avocado toast
    Christina C.

    Let's start with the ONE pro---child menu eggs were decently priced and a good portion size. Cons-The avocado toast was supposed to be made on ciabatta bread- it came out like this and I just accepted it (my own fault). Took one bite and . The absolute worst avocado toast I've ever had in my life. The avocado was definitely some old pre-made guacamole they got out of a tub... tasted like plastic. It was ice cold. When I gave it back to the waitress when we were ready for the bill, I told her it was cold and terrible, so I didn't want it wrapped. I was told avocado toast is never hot. Well, isn't toast hot? Or at least warm? Bread was mushy like Wonder bread. She seemed annoyed that I didn't eat it. I never asked for it to be taken off the bill.. I should've known better not to order anything. Ambience was normal like a diner... somewhat dingy. It seemed like some shady people hanging around outside in the parking lot. I will not be returning and I highly suggest you find another place to enjoy a meal.

    This place is a local gem. I have been coming here for a couple years and have nothing but great things to say about the food and people, especially Achilles. If you're in the area I highly recommend you check it out!

    Consistent food, service, and atmosphere keep me coming here at least 3 times a week for my go to bacon cheeseburgers, pancakes, grilled cheese, or French dip. If you're looking for a great diner this is the place.

The waitstaff often seems disorganized, and communication regarding delays is lacking. I understand restaurants get busy, but after multiple visits, the same problems keep occurring. The food is decent, but not enough to make up for the long waits and repeated service issues. After giving this restaurant several opportunities, I don't see myself return

This brings us to The James, managed by Joe Giannino under the fat-cat "Standard Hospitality Group," owned by Andrew Affa & Steve Squirtiro. It's hard owning a business and keeping it profitable but not when it's an almost algorithmic formula driven money extraction system so commonly found today. It's more difficult dining out in the world today when it feels like hospitality is vacating. Vining more about high-revenue than humanity. By very definition, I wouldn't call a good portion of the hospitality industry hospitality at all, and I certainly wouldn't say the James offers any. What I love about food is what it does for the soul, & what I've always loved about providing and caring for people is the sense of community; connection during good times and difficult ones alike; That's hospitality to me. Breaking bread is one of the most fundamental human gestures of generosity and true wealth. When you have it, you share it not squander it, not hoard it or treat it like it's something to take from others and line your pockets with. That's why this experience disappointed me so much, because I believe with the myriad of options, we must be far more selective and far more supportive of local and smaller family run establishments. Today, for a table they would still fill and never notice, I tried to cancel a reservation out of respect -- respect for the staff, for other guests, and for my damn self. Being charged a cancellation fee when a mom is sick on Mothers Day, is not hospitality, it is not empathy. It is greed disguised as brand experience self worth. I have supported the Arlo from this same restaurant group in the past and probably would have happily returned too, based on the menu alone, but coldhearted, rigid policies like this change how a place feels. There are many family-run restaurants that understand flexibility and empathy. That kind of environment matters to me, and this experience will forever make me decide to support those places instead. I've recently learned to name positive outcomes when something negative arises, so I believe this time, it's great that it only cost me fifty bucks to never give this group another dime. Typical corporate hospitality is more what the James can offer. These types of COMPANIES feed themselves, not the community.

I thought the potatoes were pretty bland, but the brussel sprouts were good. The portion seems to be a bit inconsistent with what I had seen online. We had the horchata tartufo and peanut butter pie for dessert. The horchata ice cream had great cinnamon flavor and we enjoyed it. Additionally, there's a 2.95% service charge on our bill that was not explained and I am very curious about. My fault for not paying close enough attention to ask at the time.

I mentioned the pasta and showed our server the pool of butter. He took it off our bill without even asking. So ... 4 stars - 5 stars for local business service and just lost the one star for the less than stellar meal and app. Will probably be back!
