Jame is Jackson and Melissa Kalb's first restaurant, focused on Southern Italian cooking and way of life.

This is particularly true in the hand-rolled pastas, but is also seen in other popular dishes like the crispy brussels sprouts, kale salad, and Crispy Braised "Coop's" pork shank. Join us next door at John Thomas Bar where Chef Jackson highlights sophisticated twists on classic cocktails for those who are looking for some late night fun.

    Their house vodka Wheatley was $17 for an espresso martini and it was not with expresso coffee but w a liqueur. You can taste the tapwater (from the ice cubes?)in the martini. It was horrible.  The spicy Caesar salad was good but small portion. The spicy rigatoni with the vodka sauce and the meatballs were not hot enough. Overall, I definitely not recommending this restaurant to friends and family.

    Great food and creative cocktails. The wine & beer list could include some more Italian options. Also, would love to see some Italian desserts and espresso/cappuccino on the menu too.

    Excellent service, food and wine list though its very limited. The outdoor seating is ok, not great as there's a dry cleaning business next to the seating, so a bit distracting. Inside seating has a great vibe.

    The overall service was excellent, the servers were very attentive and made good recommendations. The food was delicious and the chefs specials were exquisite. However, it is rather pricey. I recommend making a reservation or going early because it gets busy.

    Jame was amazing! I can not wait to go again. The Jemma chop salad was perfectly dressed. The capellini was rich and so flavorful. The chicken parm was huge and the best I have ever had! The setting is cool, modern and clean. Sit inside if you can. Will definitely be back.

    Food, cocktails, dessert were all amazing, service was great, food was appropriately HOT! Decent ambiance but it feels like decor could be a little more welcoming inside, and it's very loud so some noise dampening would be good.

    This is our second trip there. We will not be going back. The place was packed. The whole experience felt rushed and chaotic. It is so crowded that as friendly as the servers are, they are way too busy to provide any better than average service. The noise level was off the charts. Impossible to have a conversation without shouting. Yes, the food is good but that doesn't make up for the rest.

    The wine selection is limited and they were out of at least 2 of the 8 that they sell by the glass which was disappointing. Also, the wine had a massive amount of sediment in it...bummed about the wine. Beautiful setting, great food but very disappointing wine and didn't love the response from staff to the sediment.

    Cute little restaurant in a shopping center, not fancy, but still nice. The food was great! We had the spicy rigatoni and mushroom lasagna and kale salad. There were two of us and we ate until we were full and still took quite a bit home for the next day! Also the lemon pie was light and delicious!

    Our lunch was very tasty. The Brussels sprouts were delicious as were the meatballs and all of the pasta dishes we ordered. The Cesar salad is disappointing and so is the “ciabatta”. It was good bread but more just about 1/4 piece of a baguette and didn’t come with the meals which is also disappointing. Our server was fantastic, though the restaurant was very busy so things were a little slow moving. The wonderful server and the excellent food make up for any downsides and I would definitely go back.
