Great Food, service is OK – Went here on a Saturday night - great atmosphere. We were there for a late dinner, so the bar crowd starting rolling in. Definitely a more mature scene which was nice and kept the noise level at a comfortable level. Food was great - everyone ordered seafood. I highly recommend the seared scallops - and the wasabi mashed potatoes are a must. I will definitely come back. Our service was a little slow - they didn't seem to be adequately staffed for a Saturday.

nice beach area eatery... – business is actually quite slow for lunch at James Beach, which was completely fine w/ me & my siblings like Friday afternoon. this way, we didn't have to wait for our table, and the waitress was extremely atentive. the food was very delicious, however, the price is just a tiny bit overpriced. no complain from me at all thou since it's expected for that price w/ that sorta nice beachy setting.

Delightful surprise – What a nice surprise from the usual scene! The mojitos were wonderful - a much sweeter variety than what most of LA serves - and the crowd was friendly and talkative.

perfect place for big parties – a great brunch place right by the beach. weve been there several times and luckily have always ordered right. i guess we should eventually try it for dinner.

For late night hanging out – This is one of the few places in Santa Monica open late even in the weekdays..go there to have some drinks, the margaritas and the martinis are good and big in size. If you are hungry order a dessert (the chocolate mousse is great) or dine across the street at Canal Club. The food is average here. The atmosphere is cool though and the beach decor makes you feel like you were at a beach party.

Nice Atmospeher Sub Par Food & Service – Great atmosphere but the Ahi Tuna was not good and the sauce was way to salty returned for a redo and they still could not get it right, told the waiter 2nd time was still not good and he was not accomodating. When older gentleman at the bar have to come over to our dinner table and make comments like "Can we help you with the bill?" the check came as we were figuring the split between us girls, we just thought it made for another low class evening being armored by a man who should be... read more

Great standby – Whenever I want a casual evening out with friends and good food, this is the place. And the location could not be better. I love to take out-of-town visitors here because it's so LA without even trying.

Schizophrenia... – James Beach seems to be two different places - one I love, the other I've tried to forgive, but just can't any more. The good side is the bar - either bar. Service is fantastic, drinks are great, and atmosphere is lively. The other James Beach, the table dining version (how this can be so different I don't understand) has now been a nightmare too many times to ignore. The only thing they seem to be able to do consistently there is screw up - either on the service or food. I live in Venice, I wished I liked... read more
