User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsThis isn't a good place to go to if you aren't a regular or a big shot. Twice I made reservations several weeks in advance and got stuck with the a lousy table near the bathroom and kitchen. The first time I let it go, the second time I talked to the hostess and was offered a seat at the corner of the bar or wait 40 min for a table. I guess it doesn't matter if you make a reservation.
If someone is making a reservation several weeks in advance and you call them to confirm the day of, why would you stick them in such a lousy table? I could understand if it was a walk-up, but I called 3 weeks ahead of time!
My take on the attitude of the hostess, is that they are too cool for school. OK, so I'm not a regular or a movie star, but my money spends the same. All I wanted was a nice dinner and the attitude of the place is not friendly for normal people.
So I guess the regulars can have this place, there are way too many places in LA for people to eat and enjoy themselves.
If you are a normal LA person and want to spend a lot of money for poor service and ok food, then James Beach is for you!
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsBest mojito. Best tuna tartare. Best fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. Best place to sit at the bar and meet REAL Venice locals. I love James' Beach!!!

I wholeheartedly AGREE with you my brotha...=) As a Venice local of over 15 years, this place has and always will be a joke...sane, well-adjusted Toyota owners with money and a few nice friends in tow are definitely NOT welcomed... I went twice, just to hang out like you'd chillax at say, The Brig or The Other Room on Abbot Kinney... In comparison, it was a major drag being at James Beach after going to these much cooler venues...
