James

The Overview

The decor at Italian-influenced James puts us squarely in the now: The dining room's pale neutral colors, leggy leather chairs and polished hardwood floor signal that veal parmesan isn't part of the mission statement. The house-made pastas are what James does best. And there's a hint of Vetri in the deeply delicious duck ragu, which owes its sweet-savory nuances to orange peel and bittersweet Valrhona chocolate. (But sticker shock awaits those who order a pasta or risotto as a main course.) Main-course meats and fish are prepared simply, perhaps too simply, but the in-house desserts are delightfully different.
