At St. James, a lively Caribbean restaurant in The District, the colors of life are on full display. Inspired by the vibrant nightlife district in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, the restaurant exudes energy and fun. The interior boasts a gleaming bar, adorned with plants, and the menu features enticing dishes like callaloo, a green soup made with spinach, collards, and coconut milk, garnished with sweet crab.

The restaurant offers a mix of classic favorites, such as juicy spiced pork steamed buns, and innovative creations like slow-roasted duck leg infused with curry, cumin, and chiles. With the introduction of "medium" plates like oxtails and crab and dumplings, groups can now enjoy a variety of flavors from the islands.

While the salt fish fritters may be dense, and the servers occasionally eager to clear plates, the sticky plantains with candied ginger make for a delightful side dish. And don't miss out on the sponge cake soaked in rum, best savored with banana ice cream. St. James is a place where Caribbean fun and flavors come together in a truly enjoyable dining experience.
