James St Bar + Kitchen

The bar fronting the restaurant has a nice vibe about it, with great happy-hour specials on wine and tapas. Both the tapas and the SB are delicious. I can really recommend them. This was my first visit to the restaurant though. It is spacious and has a bit of a chic feeling to it. I just love kangaroo and I have had it more than 20 times before, at different restaurants. I love how tender it normally is, almost melting in my mouth. So, I set out for the '180gm kangaroo fillet, grilled medium with smokey aioli, petite Greek salad & lemon oil'. Sadly, I shouldn't! It was the toughest roo I've ever had; it was a big disappointment. And the smoky aioli could have been a nice complement, but it was much too hot and overpowered EVERYTHING. My nose was running a lot! I wanted to give the kitchen another chance, so I ordered the 'Yuzu cheesecake, meringue' for dessert. After my main course, I was very pleasantly surprised. Great job! The service was genuinely nice, by all the staff. I must mention Erika though, as she stood out a lot. I understood and she also told me that she was new at her job. She made the night for me; she was so polite, caring and exactly what you would want from your staff. Best of luck to her in her new position!

A hidden gem in Northbridge for a good meal. Great menu, beautiful food and excellent service. We will be back!

Highly recommended We went to the restaurant not to the bar ... The staff were amazing very friendly, helpful The place was amazing from decoration , chairs & table The food OH MY GOD sooo yum soooo yum we ordered too many things cause we were group but we tried the Entrees, Share plates , main & deserts everything was PERFECT Even the prices were responsible Definitely will go again Go & enjoy :)

Booked through The Fork which had 50% off this place. Ordered American ribs with coleslaw and jack potato along with double cheeseburger with onion rings. The ribs were tasty but were overcooked so tough to eat but everything else was really good! There wasn't enough staff on a Thursday night so ordering food and receiving food was on the slow and long wait side. Otherwise would happily visit again.

Got a good deal on the fork and gave it a shot. The fish was great. The rest was solid.
