Probably the finest meal I have ever had! The pork tomahawk with mustard and cider sauce was simply outstanding; cooked to perfection with the most amazing flavours....and the poached pear for dessert was also cooked with a fantastic array of nuts and spices. However, it wasnt just the food that made it the best; the attentive staff, the ambience and the attention to detail were all first class.

Loved every moment in this fantastic restaurant. From the warm friendly welcome as we walked through the door on a cold and wet sunday evening, through the fabulous food and drinks selection to the polite, friendly and very helpful staff. It is very rare that I give 15 star reviews but believe me JAMES ST deserves them all and more. Even if you are only passing through Belfast you have to stop here. After the warm greeting as we entered, we both commented on the lovely atmosphere and amazing decor. This place has everything you could want from a dining experience but it's absolute best asset is the beautiful staff. Oh and the food is delicious 😋 Keep up the great work and I will definitely be back soon.

The food was absolutely amazing here at James St, every bite was full of flavour and so well cooked. Our waitress (I wish I could remember her name!) was just lovely, super friendly, helpful and really made us feel so welcome. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Absolutely amazing food! The scallops and steak I ordered easily deserve an 11/10 — absolutely delicious! The scallops were delicate, fresh, and full of flavor, while the steak was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with taste. Every bite was pure joy. The service was incredibly warm and attentive from start to finish. Despite being a group of 14, everything was handled with impressive efficiency — all the plates arrived at the same time, hot, beautifully presented, and exactly as ordered. Everyone at the table was happy and more than satisfied. I wholeheartedly recommend this place — it truly stole my heart.

Great steaks and the suef and turf hit it out of the park. Take your family or dinner date here to seal the deal. (Wink). The desserts were great as well. We ordered a variety of drinks and all were very good. For the price the whiskey flights are a great deal. We enjoyed the 12 year old flight and can say the third variety will be bought as a bottle to consume back home. The interior of the place is exceptionally clean and well put together.
