THE RESTAURANT

JAMES is a fine dining establishment in Philadelphia’s Bella Vista neighborhood serving modern American cuisine. Our service is impeccable; the dining environment, elegant yet friendly. Our menu focuses on local, seasonal produce, humanely raised meats, wild seafood, and artisan cheeses. Because we select only fresh locally-grown ingredients, the menu changes with the seasons. For a unique dining experience, ask about Chef Jim Burke’s tasting menus.

JAMES has a modern bar and lounge area complete with love seats, cocktail tables and a glowing fireplace. Our thoughtful, “boutique” wine list offers the very best selections from small producers dedicated to natural methods and sustainable viticulture. Our cocktails inspire with smart, top-shelf creations mixed with house-made syrups, fresh juices and seasonal ingredients.

JAMES also offers intimate dining in a stunning private dining room. The Chef’s Table seats up to twelve comfortably. From the chocolate velvet drapes to the crystal chandeliers, the richness of the room will envelope you and your guests. Tasting menus and wine pairings are thoughtfully prepared and highly encouraged. This room is perfect for exclusive parties and special events. General Manager Kristina Burke looks forward to tailoring your next event: To book the private dining room please contact her at kristina@jameson8th.com or by phone, 215.629.4980.
