Relaxed atmosphere good drinks and delightful menu. Upstairs is a good place for a private party which can be booked in advance. Must try the watermelon and mint salad on these really hot days.
Just did drinks and apps here. Try the Mykonos plate with spicy hummus and olive tapenade . YUM. Oh and truffle fries . Tuna tartar comes in heart shape for v day. Cute . (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Great spot. Terrific locals. The bartender was voted the best in LA by LA Weekly. His rap name is Shaman B and will happily bust a rhyme. He was not voted best rapper.
James is a nice dude. You can book half the restaurant for private events . The staff is warm and attentive. They have a good selection of foods. Try the mac and cheese .
Atmosphere is very relaxed. Inside is less so than the patio . Great fish dishes and good bar . Recommend fish tacos , ceviche , and tuna poke .
This place has great food and specials almost every night. Wed $6 kettle one vodka drinks. They have a lobster night and a steak night. Packed on weekends.
Fried chicken and whiskey bar night every Thursday! The Fire in ice whiskey infusion topped with Allagash !
If you’re in the mood for some authentic California tacos , look no further than James’ Beach . Featured in the movie , I Love You Man, their fish tacos hit the spot when it comes to SoCal cuisine.
Fish Tacos are great, can get very busy!
Great tacos , and good classical food on the side. A bit overpriced but decent sizes in general.
Beautiful people. Vibrant place. Good drinks and...THE WORLD'S BEST FISH TACOS!
The jalapeño margarita is great. But it will burn your lips! Use the straw and don't lick your chops.
Such a fun bar at night with the open ceiling. So fun to go on dates :)
We all know you're coming here for the fish tacos.. but the jalapeño margarita is amazing. Get it.
Jason Segel wasn't lying when he told Paul Rudd in "I Love You, Man" that you can find the best fish tacos in LA right here, at James Beach .
Drink prices are reasonable and choice is varied. But the fish tacos are a must.
Curb Your Enthusiasm location : Larry David meets here with Jason Alexander (George) and later with Michael Richards (Kramer) to discuss the Seinfeld reunion.
Fish tacos are famous but try the duck or brisket tacos - sublime!
Great small plates ! Every option is good. Order a few.
Rotisserie chicken and fries on the patio - fantastic

Good fish tacos and mimosas . Also gotta try their scones with strawberry jam . Yum!
Wednesday nights they have great deals on martinis . Get the Dirty Martini with 3BAR OLIVE JUICE .
Everything! Mahi Mahi tacos and crab cakes especially.
I love this place at 1:00pm on Wednesdays. This place is hell at night, especially NYE.
Always been a neighborhood gem but lately they've developed an attitude. Just asked to use their bathroom and was told its for paying customers, even after I told them I'm there at least once a week.
An understated neighborhood spot . Menu is always full of good things to choose from
Their service was so kind and I liked their cocktails too much
Fish tacos ftw. Also, super friendly staff .
Donna is the best. She suggested the side by side by side. It was amazing.
Cougar hunting? You've found your spot. While you're here, sample the fried chicken and mojitos .

Mahi-mahi tacos are delicious, but also pretty expensive .
Good 'I Love You, Man' fish tacos and really great service.
I'm not a fan of their food. I am a fan of their drinks. The service is hit and miss; As is the crowd. To sum it up: go to say you've been there.
Half price bottles of wine on Monday nights but always awesome here for locals!
The Mahi Mahi Tacos are amazing! I recommend to all!
Crazy on the weekends local on the weekdays. Wed night $6 Martini Special !

Short rib sliders on kings hawaiian rolls are delish. They rotate them on & off the menu. - Anna F
Happy hour all day until 7pm. Get there around 5-ish as it gets pretty crazy at 6pm. The Misfit cocktail is highly recommended (it's like a Negroni) - Adrian Phillips
Their daily specials are awesome and so are their salads. Service is always exceptionally great here too. - PRO-Keds
