Restaurant St. James Review

Overlooking the lagoon from the Helen's Bay shopping center, north of the small boat harbor, this restaurant provides a picturesque setting for seafood cooked in the French fashion. Tops are parrotfish stuffed with crab under cream sauce, a fricassee of scallops and shrimps in coconut curry sauce, and duck with a blueberry sauce. Have a pre-dinner drink at the thatch-covered bar down by the lagoon. Manta rays expecting a handout often show up here around 7:30pm.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
