St. James - Modern Caribbean Washington Reviews
Terrific spot - all the drinks and food were so flavorful.
The ambience and staff was also great. Absolutely recommend, and will be returning!
I enjoy the food at St.
James! This was my second time dining. The food is consistently good! The coconut milk greens and the squash salad were both well-seasoned and delicious. The squash salad was a surprise hit due to the great combo flavor of the jerk and the curry dres
Food was delicious.
Got there right in time for happy hour- had the crab fritters, wings and paradise cocktail. Oxtails and greens for entree. Delicious! Above all, from the hostess to waiter everyone was super hospitable and friendly. Exceptional care and service. Def
I went to St.
James a few weeks ago for a catch-up dinner with a friend. I was really excited to try it since I'm Haitian and always open to checking out the few Caribbean spots in the area. The vibe and service were both really good--warm, welcoming, and liv

St. James immediately catches your eye when you walk in. The décor is beautiful, modern, and gives off a refined island feel with soft lighting and rich colors. It feels elevated but still relaxed. The greeting was a little off. The host met us wit

Amazing, Delicious , Wonderful!! The atmosphere was very intimate and inviting; our food was DELICIOUS. Everything was fresh and flavourful. Patrick was our server and he was super attentive and catering. 5 Stars across the board. I will forever supp
Mediocre service with mediocre food to match.
As soon as we walked in we were met with so much attitude from the host. The waiter never came to give us water or take our order so we had to order at the bar and the only interaction we had with her was when she came to take our cards for payment.
Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
The jerk wings were tender but spicy. The pressed chicken was also tender but lacked seasoning. This was extremely bland and had a lot of gristle. The collard greens had a chalky texture, most likely due to the addition of coconut milk. The mac &

The St.
James is good because the food has been consistently good. You go there a couple of times and find some items you like, and you'll get exactly what you were looking for when you come back. Their winning point is consistency. Service is just okay
Very tasty food, great service, nice ambience.
We had no idea what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. I'm definitely going back.

I enjoyed the music and really liked my main entrée--the Pepper Shrimp. However, the Callaloo soup was a letdown. It needed more salt and definitely more crab meat; it only had a few thin crab flakes sprinkled in the center, with no real chunks. As
After loving St.
james' happy hour for so long, I came back for dinner with some friends. Everything we ordered was delicious! I had been wanting to try the dino ribs for a while, and they lived up to expectations: so tender, served with the softest skillet of m
The food is excellent.
The service is good. The ambiance is fun. I love St. James. I come here every time I'm in DC! The food is flavorful and the portions are large and filling. The prices are good. I can't recommend enough.
I love this place! This was my second time going.
The vibes are always good and the ambiance is elevated but chill. I went during DMV Restaurant Week on a Saturday evening. There were tables available and also space at the bar, where I sat. I got the sorrel margarita and the Not Your Mother's C
Last night at St.
James Caribbean reminded me why food is never just food. We walked in thinking we'd try the Restaurant Week menu, but the spirit of the place always has other plans. We went à la carte, and every dish felt like a love letter to flavor: the bee

St. James is right down the street from me, so I've been quite a few times to grab a tasty solo dinner. You can basically walk in any night, even on the weekends, and find a free seat at the bar. The standout dish, which I now order basically
Nothing but praise for this place.
I tried a mix from the crab dumplings (a spicy kick I did not expect, rich crab meat, hearty curry stock) to the greens (nice subtle milky flavor, well cooked), via the maitake masala (sweet) and the plantains (so so good, a sweet caramelized sauce o

I normally dont leave reviews but the appreciation i have for this resturant goes beyond words. We decided to make a reservation at 830 not realizing they closed at 9 and kitchen closed at 845. they weren't originally able to support a table of
I am not sure why it is rated so high.
The jerk wings were not well seasoned. I enjoyed the greens but they came with too much pot liquor. I sat at the bar for happy. I was not told of the twenty percent until after my meal. I am aware of the charge at many dc restaurants but in this case
Throughly enjoyed our night out at St.
James. Very nice vibes. Our server was great and everyone came to speak to us and check on the service, which was appreciated. Everything we ordered came out HOT and at a good pace. Drinks were delicious. We had the Aloo and Channa pies (basically a

Great service, ambiance and food! The ribs were fantastic and I loved the mango anchar. Definitely coming back.
Soooo good! My friends and I wanted a good hearty meal.
We went around 6pm on a Saturday. Unfortunately all of the tables were reserved, but we had a chance to sit at the bar. We ordered the Honey Bee. The drink was amazing and the service was awesome. I ordered the Duck. Just order it! It was soooo tende
Carribbean Culinary Taste!!!!!
When you walk in your are transformed by the welcoming staff. Wait and you will an exceptional culinary experience. Loved!!!!! can't wait to visit DC again. I have family from TnT. St.James is a true exsperience with a modern twist.
Highly recommend!
Everything from the service to the food and drinks was wonderful. We had full meals which were fantasti but I would go back for the jerk chicken wings and cocktails alone!
Cozy and delicious
Great first experience at this wonderful Caribbean establishment. I associate the menu with primarily Trini flavors with a little twist here and there. So instead of a double - there's aloo and channa hand pies. Amazingly gooey cassava fritter
Can't wait to go back on New Year Eve 2026
There are no words to describe the food or the customer service that we received. We had food to go that I froze and brought back to Mississippi with me. Lol 😂 I can't wait to return on New Year Eve next Year. We tried many meals on the men
Wonderful experience
We had reservations for 4. We were seated promptly. the food was delicious . The service was great. We got a taste of several items on the menu and we enjoyed all of them.
Average w/Flair
Ambience and decor were pleasant. Limited dinner items especially if not dining on the weekend. Started with the Aloo Chana pies which were very tasty! Cassava fritters were great as well. Settled on the oxtails with coconut rice and a side of planta
Food was spotty but good spice. Service was very mixed and inconsistent.
Service was very mixed by Dbennet. We asked for all of our items to come to the table at a specific sequence. Appetizers together and mains together. It was totally haphazard. Some of the food was not hot temperature enough. The best items were the
Ended on a High Note
We arrived on time for our reservation and were whisked past the bustling main dining room and up the stairs to an empty balcony area. Is this where they seat white people, we half joked? It sure looked like it. After a minute, we went back downstair
Excellent cocktails, understaffed
Cocktails are excellent - I tried both the West-end old fashioned and the As it was Ritten (I'm a whiskey girl) and loved both! For good we got the salt fish fritters and the casaba fritters and I didn't care for those. They might have bett

This restaurant was recommended to us Philly folks so after visits to two museums on a Sunday morning, we went to St. James - Modern Caribbean cuisine where we were greeted by a very friendly, helpful staff. Looking over the menu, I spotted something

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to St. James - Modern Caribbean Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the St. James - Modern Caribbean Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CompellingStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 now uses their connections at St. James - Modern Caribbean Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CompellingStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at St. James - Modern Caribbean Washington!
