Best American Restaurants in North Babylon

Ambiance and music were great. Food was well prepared. My shared the seafood flautas which were great tasting. My wife had the quesadillas which were good. I had the shirt ribs which could have used more sides beyond the ribs themselves for the price. The service was friendly, but slow. We had to ask for water a few times with servers looking around trying to look busy. The drinks menu was a bit limited as it was almost entirely margaritas. Overall, it was good for a date night. I'd go back to check out their other menu items.

Our servers Kenny and Brianna were excellent. They brought a lot of energy and definitely enhanced the dining experience. They both made recommendations that turned out to be on point. The apps were tremendous, tuna tartare and lobster dumplings. We also had the Halston roll and the Holiday roll which was a special, both were off the charts. Everyone enjoyed their entrees except the bronzing which I was told was dry and an overall swing and a miss. The scampi and ribs were delicious. The PB&J desert was ridiculous.

We recently dined at The James to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant’s decor was beautiful—elegant and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly valued as guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. To make the evening even more memorable, the staff surprised us with a glass of champagne each and a thoughtful birthday card for my husband. It was such a kind and personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Overall, it was an exceptional evening, and I would definitely return. Whether for a celebration or just a nice dinner out, this is a place I would highly recommend

The hostess Jocelyn was awesome, fun and funny. Our waiter was excellent. Food was great no rush to eat or get out. Drinks were excellent.

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
