🦞 Who says you need a special occasion to order lobster for lunch? We think making it through the work week is reason enough!

Chef's Hot Lobster Roll brings buttered lobster, Old Bay aioli and celery leaf together in a New England roll. Make plans with someone who appreciates a good lunch as much as you do.

See you at The James!

Your after-work plans sound better with Shrimp Scampi Fries on the table. 🍤

Butter-poached shrimp, smoked mornay, French fries and chive butter make these worth sharing...though we understand if you’d rather keep them to yourself.

Only during Happy Hour Every Monday–Friday from 3–6 PM!
