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.

We had a great time at RYLA. The food was on point, per the usual and we had great service. Our server’s name was Kim W, and she really took care of us. Coursed meals perfectly and was so friendly and accommodating! RYLA is a favorite of ours, and it never misses.
