From the restaurant:
Thank you for choosing JJames Landing Grille at the Marina. Should your plans change, please let us know. We look forward to serving you.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful View, Very Good FoodWe enjoyed our lunch here very much! There is lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the view of thee James River is outstanding. We had the Big bang Shrimp for an appetizer--it was tasty with a nice zing. Following, I had the Chicken Caesar Salad--good dressing and plenty of chicken. My wife had the artichoke and spinach dip--good dip but the bread would have been better if it was toasted. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake--fresh and delicious.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMfantastic view of the riverOutdoor dining exceptional.
Jazz trio superb.
My wahoo perfect along with the Risotto.

I also enjoyed the live music - such a gem to have in our community!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMHIGHLY SATISFIED!!!I and my significant other thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at James Landing Grille! First of all...we caught the shuttle to the restaurant from our suite. The shuttle arrived within two minutes of us calling for it. Secondly...we arrived 30 mins earlier than the time our reservations were set; however, our table was still ready! Lastly....our waitress/server, Lauren....was extremely helpful, patient, kind, courteous to us. She kept a smile on her face...and though she checked on us often...she wasn't bothersome. Needless to say....this was probably one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long, long time!!! Thank you and we will be coming back!!!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMNice special luncheon !We had a very nice luncheon birthday party for 8, and all enjoyed their meals.

Food was good but not exceptional. Service and friendliness of staff was excellent. E would eat here again.
I was surprised that there was not a more formal dining room, but with so many tray rants, there probably isn't the need for this at Kingsmill.
We had a great time and would return again in the future.
Arthur Meader4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a lovely lunch, goodWe had a lovely lunch, good food, beautiful setting. The service was a little slow but we had no where to go.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe stayed at the KingsmillWe stayed at the Kingsmill Resort and from the choices of places for food and drink at the resort, James Landing was about the only choice. There were others at the resort but after checking their menu and times, they just weren't worth going to. The nice thing about the James is that it is within walking distance of cottage in the resort. And if you don't feel like walking, the resort will send a bus to take you home. The meals are very good and the prices are appropriate and competitive to restaurants near by.
The place has no sound baffling and so it is loud. While it was nice inside, I couldn't hear much of what my companions were saying for the volume from other conversations.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGo there for sunset on a perfectGo there for sunset on a perfect day. It has this Summer vacation at the seaside feeling. Food is secondary compared to the view!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful!This is a beautiful setting! The staff is friendly and effecient and the manager always makes us feel special.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it! Went there for EasterLoved it! Went there for Easter with the family (4 kids ages 10-17) and had a good meal with great service. Denise our server was a gem, and the Bloody Mary's are terrific! Great for adults only or families.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place on the water!Great place on the water!

I am looking forward to returning on another beautiful day and hopefully will be warm enough to sit outside!!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved watching the sunsetLoved watching the sunset over the James. And, the food was really good. Solid. Bang bang shrimp were the best thing we tasted. Would love to do again.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThey continue to make greatThey continue to make great changes here!
I love the new decor inside with the addition of booth seating both upstairs and down. And there's a big addition that's underway for the deck which is going to make a great outdoor deck even better! Looks like they are adding a big outdoor fire pit on the deck and said they are also installing heaters on the deck. No better water front dinning this side of the beach.
Service was quick and friendly and the new menu has lot's of options for my older kids who can't seem to move beyond a good burger. But there are great seafood dishes and a pretty solid wine list, with lot's of wines available by the glass.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWorth the 12 hr drive from Toronto!We had a wonderful dining experience at James Landing Grille. When making our reservation, I had requested a nice "romantic" table for two, and they delivered! After being greeted as though we were regulars (it was our first visit) we were taken upstairs to our beautiful corner table with windows on two sides, overlooking the river and a gorgeous sunset! The food was outstanding, with double lobster tails cooked to perfection for me, and grilled tuna for my hubby that he raved about! Our server (I think his name was Craig??). was very professional, knew his menu, and was a pleasure to talk to. He was VERY attentive without being intrusive and took care of our every need. Awesome! Ambiance, great service and great food - perfect!3/10/2013 12:00:00 AM
