Why is 같이 used in this sentence?
도서관에 가려다가 길에서 제임스를 만나서 같이 저녁 먹었어요.
What is its grammatical function here? It doesn't have anything to do with 'like', does it?

with = 같이, 함께 = together
there are some ways to use "같이" in korean sentence.
For example , in English , like is used by two ways
1. I like you. 나는 너를 좋아해.
2. you look like Panda 너는 팬더 처럼(같이) 보여
1.*~같이 ~ 처럼 = like , look like
I am like an early bird. 나는 일찍 일어나는 새와 같다 ( 같이 + ~ 이다)
you look like panda.
2*함께, 같이
길에서 제임스를 만나서 같이 저녁을 먹었어요.
on the street I met James and we had dinner together.
길에서 - 나는 제임스를 만났어요 - 그리고 우리는 - 저녁을 먹었다 - 같이 ( 함께)
I had dinner with him 나는 저녁을 먹었다 - ~ 와 같이(함께) - 그(와)
I play a game with them 나는 그들과 같이(함께) 게임을 한다.
she hangs out with me . 그녀는 나와 함께 ( 같이) 나가 논다.
He finds it with her 그는 그녀와 같이(함께) 그것을 찾았다.
So korean 같이 has two meanings ,
1. like = ~ 처럼 (같이)
2. with = ~ 함께 ( 같이)
I hope you can understand about "같이"
