James On Main - Hackettstown

James on main, what can I say about james on main. the best I had. that means that this is my first venture in a finer eating atmosphere, because I never thought it was worth the price, but that's just not true. starting with the starters was the Burrata court I ordered, fantastic, best burrata I ever had. it was creamy and the persimmon and rosins were a great supplement to burrata. my wife had the fungus bisque, who was another home. it wasn't just mixed, they thought I had this bisque and layered everything in the cup to give them a great experience with each spoon. I don't have to say much about the second cure because he speaks for himself. the pampered crispy disappointment that my wife had was amazing and so was a bell with soy that I had. both are perfectly done. If you know what this is, you can only imagine it. our disappointments were not there to disappoint. I had the guts and my wife had the ribs. the duck breast was so tender and juicy, it's something I could never cook as they did, and I'm pretty good in the kitchen. the ribs that my wife had that I didn't try, but she said we were the upper ones. at the end of the day I would eat there again, yes. I now have a better understanding for the finer culinary experience and will say that it was worth the money. the one thing I'm going to say is that they don't have a beer that seems like a missed opportunity with one of the better breweries on the road. perhaps an exclusive beer from the collaboration?

My husband and I had dinner on Saturday night, reservation set for 8pm. When we arrived there was a large group of people outside (i was worried we would have to wait a long time to be seated) we were sat the moment we arrived much to our surprise! Our server was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable about wine pairing, and very personable. As our courses came out we enjoyed every bit of it! My husband made note that the pork belly he ordered was one of the best he has ever had in his life. I ordered the halibut which was definitely over cooked and slightly lackluster. However! everything else was so enjoyable I didn't even mention the overcooked fish. 10/10 restaurant, we love dining here and doing the 3 course menu! you should 100% try out this restaurant if you haven't already!

James on Main is a great spot! Our only complaint ever, is the proximity of other guests. NYC style dining in Hackettstown, including the sitting on top of each other. Highly recommend weeknights! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
