Saint James French Diner is a gem serving delicious French cuisine. The ambiance is nice, with all tables good, but window tables are extra special. The service is attentive, and the server recommends wisely. The menu offers a unique burger and steak frites, both of which are exceptional. The chocolate soufflé is a standout, making it a must-visit destination for dessert lovers. Recently, customers praised the deep fried French toast for its great flavor and the espresso (Americano), which was described as probably the best in a while. The burgers are large, double patty, and well worth the $10, with the Parisienne burger being a little sloppy but still tasty. The breakfast vibe is cool, with excellent service, wonderful food, and old-school music in the background, making it a favorite spot for many. Lunch is quiet and pretty good, with delicious French fries and a variety of tasty burgers, including the Parisienne, Americano, and Pali Chicken Sandwich. Croquettes are a popular starter, small balls of mashed potatoes deep fried in breadcrumbs. The bartender makes a perfect old-fashioned, and the lemonade is a genuine French lemonade created fresh. Parking can be challenging, so visitors are advised to allow extra time or visit when downtown for other activities. Overall, the staff is friendly and attentive, and many plan to return.
