James
what the critics say
New Yorker
Monday, October 13, 2008 - Deep in the brownstones of Prospect Heights, away from the cafés of Flatbush and Vanderbilt Avenues, with their homelier crowds and everyday fare, James glows like a well-kept campfire, luring diners to an otherwise tenebrous residential block. For several years, this historic Brooklyn neighborhood has been enduring a growth spurt, and the locals’ eager acceptance of James coupled with what is essentially a no-reservation policy have led to hour-long waits.

A Brooklyn gem. You can really taste the love that goes into the food. The chef actually lives above the restaurant and grows his own herbs on the roof! Heirloom tomato salad was wonderful and the roast chicken was moist and had an excellent flavour. Desserts didn't wow us but we're savoury people anyway. Service was great!

Saturday, August 09, 2008 - It's 1 a.m., do you know where your chef is? If you're a regular at James you do. He's on the roof in his garden, among his herbs, weeding, watering, unwinding. It's the end of a long night in the kitchen at the corner of 605 Carlton Ave. and St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
