History

Established in 2015.

Belle & James broke ground in 2014 or took 1 Year to build due to its custom design. The name was inspired off Belle Isle & James River, we take pride in our city’s rich history and southern charm. Our love of our vibrant local environment, particularly our namesakes, Belle Isle & the James River, inspires many of our local partnerships with producers and non-​profits. The space was designed by Sharon Braithwaite and Apex Studios who provided a 32-​foot onyx bar as one of the primary features for Belle and James as well as a floor to ceiling art installation. The restaurant can seat up to 48 people in the main dining room under an elegant light installation of 105 four-​inch metallic globe pendants, which compliment the hard masculine lines of the onyx bar. There is also a patio space available for outdoor dining which seats 20. Belle & James opened on Thursday, October 29th 2015.
