I recently dined at St James resto and had a highly disappointing experience. Despite waiting over an hour due to understaffing and being served after people who arrived later, the meal did not justify the wait. The terrace was divided into sections, and our server was late, which caused confusion and delays. When we finally received our food, it was far from satisfactory. The shrimp salad we ordered resembled a mediocre grocery store takeout, lacking in both flavor and freshness. The linguine with seafood in tomato sauce was particularly bad; the sauce tasted canned, the seafood was frozen and not fresh, and the dish was entirely bland. My young son's cod with rice was equally disappointing, with undercooked rice and the cod appearing to be dunked in egg batter. Despite the beautiful location and view, the overall experience was poor and overpriced. I do not recommend this Resto to anyone. Additionally, make sure to reserve a table in advance, as this is not clearly communicated to visitors!!!!. The service and food quality need significant improvement.

The food was less than mid it’s not even seasoned. The seafood wasn’t fresh and the rice wasn’t well cooked. The service was also slow. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Is nice place in middle of nowhere. Is nice to visit for nature lovers

For $50, you can have three small scallops, two small filets of salmon and cod, a prawn, a small lump of crab meat, a very generous portion of rice, and a sad little salad. The food (except for the cod) was well-cooked; however, the portion of seafood was incredibly disappointing. The waitstaff was nice.

This is a quaint restaurant by the harbour. Have the seafood. Pasta and pizza can be had anywhere else. The service is prompt and professional. A very busy spot. Fills up quite quickly. You might be turned away depending on the time you show up.

A nice restaurant at the marina, overlooking the sea. 15mins from the town. They serve breaklast, lunch & dinner. Kid-friendly place with good wi fi. Tasty food & even better beer.

Atmosphere, view and extraordinary staff we had a great time on the terrace overlooking the marina. The plates are very generous to the point where we were not able to finish everything. The seafood is very fresh, the shellfish and the nachos are a real delight. For my part, the rice and salad accompaniments lacked a little finesse, the cod fillet which seemed breaded would have been even more delicious if it had been slightly crispy and the prices are a little high. We will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Trio of skewers: very poorly seasoned; it looked like boiled meat. Salmon fillet: very good. Land and sea: average taste. Parmesan fondue: good but plate would need to be garnished with red onions and olives. Seafood wrap: good. Disappointed in general since we spent $300.00 for little taste. I wont go back there for sure.

Good meal choices with seafood (there are also more classic choices) and the prices are reasonable (around $30) considering the quantity of scallops and shrimp on the plate! The beer is really cheap ($5 for a pint!!!). Excellent service: our waitress was attentive and very friendly and the meal arrived quickly. The view is great. In short, it s a very good place!

The dishes are copious and succulent. Once the dish is finished, the chef goes from table to table to ensure customer satisfaction with the quality of their plate. A nice touch that stimulates the desire to return. The only downside is that the accompaniments do not equal the happiness of the main course. A salad and rice from a street corner restaurant. Easy to forget when you see the seafood on the plate

Just one downside in our evening, THE WAITRESS, no tact, doesnt listen to our order, leaves before weve even finished speaking, doesnt fill our glasses with water, I ask for a wrap without mushrooms, my wrap arrives with mushrooms, takes our plate away and we dont finish. In short, very bad service, I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone, because the service is pitiful and the food is not great.

An exterior visit with photos. We only made an exterior visit, taking our time on August 22, 2020 late in the morning. The hourly rates for bike rental seemed excessively high to us: $15/hour for hybrid bikes, $20/hour for tandems and $26/hour for electric bikes. The site is picturesque with great photo opportunities and is located on the river with the marina nearby. Covid-19 was part of the party of course and I cant tell you about the health restrictions and rules when we were there. There is a magnificent little garden of rare plants for amateurs. We have 19 photos to offer you. Review written on November 3, 2020 in Salaberry de Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada.
