The James

Very expensive for what you got. Would not go back. Spent over 200,00 for a 75.00 meal.

Staff was either breathing down your neck or nowhere to be found.

Consistently delish dishes. Servers are always friendly and engaging! A wonderful establishment for lunch or dinner!

We had high expectations as we read the reviews. The 3 of us were out for a birthday dinner. We ordered the artichoke dip and the mussels. The dip was way too cheesy to stand up to the fresh chips. The mussels had limited broth and the bread was very dark. Overall, the mussels tasted good. Our entrees were the pecan chicken, ribeye, and crab cakes. My chicken was dry and had too much breading which fell off with each bite. The green beans were very undercooked. The mashed sweet potatoes were good. The ribeye was an inferior cut with little to no marbling. The crab cakes were large and full of crab and the asparagus was cooked well. The creme brulee was delicious and a great size. Overall, I think the menu is overpriced and I'm not a fan of a la cart for the sides with the steak. Our bill was $200 for 3 people. I didn't give the feedback then as we were treating a friend to a birthday dinner and didn't want to spoil the mood. The service was good and the atmosphere is ok. I don't think I'll make the drive to James Island again for a meal.

Fabulous dining experience. First time there, celebrating a birthday. Filet and rib eye prepared to perfection. Great ambiance Great service. Jennifer our server was wonderful. Will definitely be back

If you haven't been, GO! Great atmosphere, relaxed and welcoming. The food is on par with places like Royal Turn, Blue Oyster, and other higher end establishments. It's better than some places on Kiawah. Crab cakes are phenomenal, best I've had, EVER. I grew up on the Gulf Coast and spent many years by the water. These crab cakes are primarily crab and not all the filler and greasy fried bits you get everywhere else. Wheelchair accessibility: Paved lots, easy to navigate.

The tuna tartare is out of this world. Both meals were fantastic. I'll definitely be back!
