JAMES ST

1. If I could give James St 10 stars, I would. The food is absolutely outstanding!
   For starters, we had the crispy squid, which came with a lovely red peppery sauce (delicious!). Then we decided to go for the steak to share, so we ordered the Tomahawk. It does take a while to arrive, but wow, it was worth it. The meat was cooked to perfection. It was tender, tasty, and just incredible.
   The steak to share comes with a choice of two sauces and two sides (we both went for the bernaise and the truffle & parmesan chips…I don’t even have to say that both were delicious!).
   James St. Is a must for anyone in Belfast.

2. we had a fantastic birthday meal here. the staff is attentive, the environment is beautiful, and the food exceeded expectations. Highlights were the wine selection by the glass, the crispy squid, and the salmon with fennel and orange.

3. Been here a few times, but this time it deeply saddens me i ordered the fish of the day which was lobster i received only half the lobster which is fine considering for its price but wheres the claw, i finished the lobster to only receive my side salad after finishing the main dish.
   The mocktails and the dessert are good thats it.

4. The restaurant is very nice and clean, the food was good, but not excellent, I recommend the ham croquettes, they are delicious. They don’t have carpaccio and they don’t have the baked Alaska on the menu.

5. Small, overpriced portions. Paid £39 for a fillet steak and was encouraged by staff to order more as they implied it wasn’t enough food – which was technically right, as it was literally just steak and chips, no side. But for that price it’d expect a decent portion.

   10% service charge added (for 2 people), so the menu prices might as well be 10% higher. Nothing about the experience warranted that and I hope others start to call out this shameful practice. Far too loud as well.
