What User likes about James' Cafe Bistro:
We are thrilled that we made the extra effort to visit James' restaurant. The flash-fried bug and mac n cheese were absolutely delicious. The cocktails, particularly the espresso martini and margarita, were also fantastic. It was a Saturday evening and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, not too crowded. We will definitely be returning soon. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about James' Cafe Bistro:
The restaurant experience was terrible. There was a lack of atmosphere, the service was bad, and cleanliness seemed to be an issue. The food was bland and we will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. The staff, including the chef, need to reconsider their approach as they appeared dirty and the waitress was quite rude. Despite not being busy, the overall vibe was more like a dive in the city center... View all feedback.
