The James An American Kitchen

I recently visited the newly renovated restaurant for the first time, and it is absolutely breathtaking! I love the layout of the seating and the decor. The space feels more spacious and much brighter overall! The fireplace is my favorite feature. I appreciate the variety of seating options available throughout the restaurant. The menu has also been updated, and everything I ordered was delicious.

On my way to Penn State, we stopped there for lunch. It's a really nice place. We tried the shrimp and enjoyed some beer as well. Everything was very tasty and juicy.

We tried to get a table at this restaurant on a Friday night but were turned away due to not having a reservation. Fortunately, we managed to get a seat the following evening, and the service was excellent. We started with the falafel bites appetizer, which we enjoyed. I ordered the bacon, apple, and gorgonzola pizza, and I absolutely loved it—highly recommend it! My boyfriend opted for the pizza with pepperoni, sausage, peppers, and broccolini; he liked it too but agreed that mine was better. If we’re ever in the area again, we would definitely dine here once more.

Update 2/22. New menu and the felafels are gone unfortunately. Update 10 21 The newly renovated indoor restaurant has opened. It is completely different from before. It is much brighter with more windows. The bar is as you walk in and much sleeker. Nicely decorated. Food is basically as it was outside in the summer for lunch. Haven't been for dinner. Update 6 2021: Outdoor seating from about April through mid October is quite nice. They've added some large converted areas for hot days and have some heaters for child evenings Lunch choices are quite good falafel and sweet potato fries. From a while ago: Choices are ok but the kitchen is inconsistent. Individual pizzas are good but very salty. Shrimp quesadilla is fine. Mahi mahi is good.

I visited the newly renovated restaurant for the first time, and it's absolutely beautiful! I really appreciate the seating arrangement and the decor. The space feels larger and much brighter than before! My favorite feature is the fireplace; they’ve placed it perfectly, and I love that. The menu has been updated as well, and everything I tried was delicious.
