   The St. James French Diner is a cute little Parisian space. I was intrigued by the reviews of the onion soup and the burger Parisienne. So we split the onion soup and got the burgers. Both are excellent. The soup flavor is incredibly complex, and the puff pastry on top is genius. The burgers are served on a bed of rich bordelaise, so with the double burger, the cheese, caramelized onions, it was the most decadent mix of flavors. Fries were hot, crisp, and salty, perfect, but we had an issue getting some catsup, maybe not French, but disappointing. Our server was friendly, but disorganized. The other server noticed our looking around for someone and rescued us. It was a busy service, and we may have messed up her plan by arriving 15 minutes early, however, we had a reservation and the room was half empty at the time we arrived. Anyway, I recommend. Reasonable price, pretty space, generous starched napkins made the room classy.

   Great atmosphere, the burgers delicious, and their Bib salad perfect for two. Their cocktails are delicious and handcrafted, and you must order their chocolate soufflé, light and airy and properly made.

   The food was unreal! However they didn’t have too many staff and we were forgotten for quite a while. Ordered our drinks and didn’t receive them for over 45 minutes

   Ordered the burgers which were quite good. The fries were ok but not very crispy. The service was really bad because they only had one waitress for the whole restaurant.

   The Palihotel in DTSD is hiding a treasure ...Saint James French Diner reminds us of many of the bistros, cafés and brasseries in Paris. The menus change frequently. The menus are short, but every item on the menu is fresh, rich in both taste and technique, and deeply considered. Often, we visit a restaurant where either the cocktails are delightful and the food is disappointing or the food is delightful and the cocktails are disappointing. Not at French Diner. Both the cocktails and the food are top-tier. St. James French Diner is led by Chef Lori. I am quite certain she is a culinary genius. Her sauces belong in a Michelin-starred restaurant, and she elevates many of the French Classics effortlessly as well as having new and unusual offerings. Kalani leads the bar as a brilliant mixiologist with in-house creations ... a blackberry yuzu spritz , or a clementine Old Fashioned, both with purées, he created... He provides his take on the standards with ease,. All are well balanced, creative and clever new offerings ane precise standards. The entire staff is personality-rich and attentive. Aaron is funny and honest and gives excellent recommendations . He takes great care of everyone along with everyone on staff. We don't go to restaurants just for the food. It's for the whole experience. This is that.

   Loved my server she was super nice and she was even well aware of the dishes and what they had. The ratatouille was honestly so amazing with the Salmon 😍 it was beautifully paired. 🖤 The blush was small but a mighty drink lol 10/10 for the food, service and how fast my food came out ☺️

   I made the reservation over a week in advance for my boyfriend's birthday. We get to the restaurant and after being seated by staff, nobody ever came to take our order. After 25 minutes we just gave up and left.

    Excellent breakfast! Had the omelette, French onion soup and croque madame. All delicious! The portions are small (typically French). Also had honey butter coffee which was very tasty.
