St. James - Modern Caribbean

Finally had the chance to check out St James and it did not disappoint! From being seated in a timely fashion to great wait service from Tim, this Valentine’s date night out with my wife will be one to remember. The food was good and fresh, really loved the flavor profiles and the vibes inside the restaurant was dope! We started with the Aloo and Channa Pies and the cassava fritters, but bites very tasty and the accompanying sauces were great choices. For our main course we shared the Paratha Roti Platter and side sampler, this was great as we were able to taste a little of the Caribbean cuisine and cooking skills of the chef and team. Everything was tender and had the perfect balance of heat and savory. Also Great music playing the background throughout the evening at a volume that we wer

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant. I enjoyed everything except the brisket unfortunately. The plantains, greens, jerk wings, pork ribs and the black rice were my absolute favorite. The oxtails were just okay in my opinion. My husband ordered the bake and fish sandwich and it was absolutely amazing. The photo does not do it justice. Just order it. You won't be disappointed. Our server was extremely helpful and attentive. I'd go back.

St. James really put love into that food and the whole experience. From the jump, Tym walked us through the menu like family, breaking everything down and making sure we got the full Caribbean flavor journey. The happy hour menu and drinks gave us room to explore, and every choice hit right. The jerk wings were packed with flavor and so tender they slid right off the bone, and the oxtail was slow-cooked perfection rich, soft, and comforting. The side sampler was seasoned just right across the board, and the pineapple Chow drink brought a beautiful sweet-and-spicy kick that tied it all together. Good people, good vibes, and seriously good food I’ll definitely be back.

St. James has a nice atmosphere, friendly and accomodating servers, and fancy silverware and dishware. We ordered the Pork Pow as an appetizer which was the most delicious thing we had all evening, and I would highly recommend. For my entree, I ordered the Duck Dhal. The presentation was beautiful, and the duck was cooked well but could have had more flavor. My boyfriend got the oxtails which were the most disappointing. For $38, which I'm aware is standard pricing for oxtails, I expected a lot more flavor and the four pieces they gave him. We got the rum and sponge cake for dessert which was fine, but nothing too special. All in all, it was a fine experience, but I much prefer hole in the wall family restaurants when ordering caribbean food.

Yes! Food, drink, and good company × great customer service = a wonderful time. Food everything was delicious jerk wings, also, cassava balls, and more. Drinks rum punch, honey bee and Guinness. More food oxtail, brisket, pressed chicken, fried red snapper! All the sides greens, rice, plantain and macaroni pie! Time was an awesome server...Tim! Highly recommend this spot.
