James Beach is one of the best places ive ever been to. We celebrated our anniversary there and were given a complimentary dessert by the waitstaff. Our service was wonderful and we can’t wait to visit again. Fish tacos are hands down the best ever!

OMG. The scones and strawberry jam. Worth coming there for the scones. Weekends also have their spectacular French toast. Made with fresh baguette. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
