“My wife and I ate there for the fourth time last night and found it to be equally perfect as the last three. They constantly change their fantastic menu and keep their prices more than reasonable. The appetizers are great. My favorites last night were the smoked beet tartar and the asparagus. We tried a gluten-free pizza and a Margarita pizza for our entrees and absolutely loved them. Our friends had the burbot and thought it was the best that they'd ever had. This place is a must if you get to Bayfield.”
“My friend and I stopped here for a nice dinner on our girls trip and it did not disappoint. The St. James offers a vintage but classy atmosphere , great food and incredibly friendly staff. The chef changes the menu every week or two, so it gives us another reason to go back when we visit the Bayfield area.”
“We attended the 4 course wine pairing dinner and it was fantastic. The local Chef has broad international and national experience and focuses on using locally sourced ingredients. The wines from Trefethen Winery, located in Napa were perfect accompaniment to each course. The braised lamb shank was perfectly spiced and cooked. A great experience for a romantic getaway.”
“Get reservations - and go! We came the second night we stayed at the St. James and had pizza. Promptly came back for dinner and got pizza again two nights later because it was so good! The food is fantastic. We also had a chicken satay and shareable steak salad - could not recommend that more. Loved the atmosphere. Family owned and run - the owners were so kind and lovely to chat with. We got lucky with live music at our dinner! Will be back.”
“The atmosphere was awesome. The staff was attentive and fantastic! I never felt silly for asking questions. We had an enjoyable and relaxing evening. The food was very good, and maybe I chose something too "simple", but I was hoping for some pizazz. All things combined, I would definitely go back!”
