James St Bar + Kitchen

The restaurant was well set out and we were given a table in a quiet spot. Staff were friendly and accommodating and our meal was very enjoyable. Our only disappointment was that our booking through The Fork had not been relayed to the restaurant. Fortunately, there was still capacity for them to seat us. We won’t use the Fork in future as it is an unreliable way of booking.

Really great location for a catchup! Music not too loud so you didn't have to yell to be heard. We had a group of 23 people and we agreed the service was excellent - fast, efficient, and they even allowed us to split bill. Food however, was on the ordinary side. Didn't love it

Good food great service

Waitress were happy to reset out table to fit more of us . Beautiful setting and menu reasonably price.

Great service and ambience. We had lunch and our orders came quick.

A nice place, very well presented and comfortable to dine at. Plenty on the drinks menu, and the food was excellent, tasty, well presented and of a good size. The menu is not over the top with too many options, but still more than enough and what they do they do very well. Recommend.

A great place to meet friends. Excellent coffee, cocktails and good meal options. (The food is brilliant.) Perfect for any time of the day. Warm friendly and efficient staff.

The food was fantastic and the service was the best we have experienced. We had the benefit of watching some Rumba dancing lessons after dinner...all added to a great night

Great find at the Double Tree at Hilton. The food was spectacular, even though we were the only ones in the restaurant - the staff including chefs put on a great show, and looked after us extremely well. The food looked and tasted spectacular and generous portions.

Booked for dinner with another couple on a Saturday night, beautiful looking restaurant, we were the only ones in the place but still very comfortable wasn't awkward, needless to say the food and service was excellent....no complains there. The weirdest thing was at 8.50pm the started moving tables and chairs pushing them against the wall, asked the waitress what was going on she said at 9pm there is a Kisomba Dance Class starting and sorry it will get loud...needless to say our evening was cut short....not happy Jane. A heads up prior would have been nice.

Thank you guys very nice place to enjoy dinner. Nice food :) good service!

Made a reservation for the restaurant but there must’ve been a problem with the booking system as the restaurant was closed. Wound up at the bar with the bar menu. Food was alright, the soft shell crab was really greasy. Good chips though. Waitress was nice.

We went at 5.30pm so atmosphere wasn’t that good not many people in the restaurant but the staff we met were excellent and the food was very tasty!

Well executed dishes - generous servings - elegant peaceful fit out - good selection of vegetarian dishes and bar food too - baby barra was a winner!

There were a couple of small issues with the food service (ie, starter ordered to come with the mains still came out first and had to be sent back until later; loaded fries came with bacon when that had specifically been asked not to be included; one side dish didn't arrive until well after main courses had been served), but apart from that, the food itself was really good and we would definitely eat here again.

My barramundi meal had great flavour with the tamarind sauce. The wait person specially requested her chef to make sure there was plentiful of sauce to drown my barramundi in which he did. Service was attentive and pro active.

Was advertised as a seafood buffet but only had one hot dish of seafood and very limited on the cold seafood. Expected more variety for a buffet. The crayfish were tiny and nothing to open them with amd extremely hard to get anything out of. Would have been better serving another shellfish.

An excellent venue with friendly staff and great food. Perfect for business lunch meetings. We all enjoyed our meals and the selection and variety of food and drink was excellent. Will visit again.

Second visit to this restaurant and they continue to provide beautiful fresh food, very nice and friendly staff, and relax atmosphere. Definitely worth to visit again.

James Street Bar & Kitchen has a generous drinks list with a good variety for all tastes. Service is polite and efficient and the food generally tasty and well presented. We were a little disappointed that the rare kangaroo was overcooked (closer to medium-well done) but this did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
