James Public House

This is somewhat of a hidden gem. The actual restaurant is on the 3^rd floor of the building so it is easy to miss if your walking by. Take the escalators to the top and have yourself a great meal at a reasonable price with a fantastic view! Service was comparable to the ritz carlton with friendly waiters, prompt service, and a diverse menu. Highly recommend! If you eat at one of the street level restaurants you are really missing out!

You have to go up two escalators to get to the restaurants. It’s an American Restaurant and a Mexican Restaurant in the same place, so you can order from either menu.
I just went yesterday and I loved the service. The place was packed due to a University’s graduation so I had to wait 10 mins for a table (at most) and was given complimentary beer for the wait.
Instead of bread, they served chicharron along with 3 different sauces. My entrée was the Chipotle salmon out of Jame’s menu (american) and it was delicious.
Music was good, the place wasn’t too loud, great service. If you want to eat somewhere where you can have a conversation before a night of partying it up — this is the place.

Loved this place.
Burger tasted excellent and so were the curly fries.
Really juicy and a lot of flavor.
My friend got the pizza which she loved as well.
Service was excellent too!

pretty good food. Note that they do not use limes, only lemons.
*** note that when you order the nachos, you will not get a traditional plate of chips with the added ingredients piled on top. they give you a plate of individual cheese covered chips. overall good food though

We were looking around for a place to have our last dinner. Was trying to check out the menu and a nice gentleman that was kinda like a host in the lobby basically showed us the menu and escorted us to the restaurant upstairs. First they bring a drink menu with tons of options. After u order ur drink, they bring u one American food menu and one Mexican food menu. We ordered two drinks, nachos, duck mole, and fish enchiladas. My drink was massive, tasted great but hardly had alcohol in it. For me to have a drink that size (basically equivalent to two cocktails) and not feel anything just goes to show how weak it was. My friend was disappointed with her drink as well. Food was really good though. The fish enchiladas were good, something different. Duck mole also different and duck was so good. And the nachos were great but we should’ve skipped it because he entrees were a good portion. All in all a great meal, ambience and service.

Pretty much to be expected for the area. Had a fun rooftop view if you want to take in the club scene, but service was unbearably slow and drinks were pricey (the one I had though, The Quest, was tasty.) They did hit us up with some free fried corn husk for our trouble.

T’was Christmas Eve and all the fancy restaurants in the hotel zone was full. My party of 9 was hungry after a long day at Chichen Itza and really just wanted to eat a meal somewhere. We decided to check out this place which had bouncers in the front trying to get people to come eat. I think that is a little off putting and when we arrived inside, it was nearly empty. This was also a rooftop restaurant that was playing top 50 music. I mean I felt like it was going to turn into a party late at night. Hence our party of grandmas and kids felt a little out of place. However, you should never judge a book by its cover.
I will honestly say this place offered one of the friendliest and best service I have ever received in a restaurant. Our waiter accommodated to our every need (including turning the fan off and moving us inside when the music became too loud). He always had a smile on his face and came back very often to pick up our trash and even put coasters under our drinks so that the table wouldn’t get so wet. The food choices are very eclectic ranging from sushi to salmon to burgers and of course mexican food like tacos. It had something for everyone at the table. I got the mango margarita drink which was delicious but it came in this giant fish bowl and in retrospect I wish I shared it with my friend because neither of us could finish our drink.
Salmon and rice: pretty standard dish that comes with a big piece of salmon filet grilled in teriyaki sauce. it tasted delicious with the rice.
Tandoori chicken taco: wow this is not what I expected. Instead of your traditional tortilla, this came on pieces of lettuce leaves kind of like the lettuce wrap at PF chang. I didn’t really taste the tandoori but overall it was a yummy dish.
Steak tacos: absolutely delicious
Pizza: I ordered the personal vegetarian pizza which has pesto and WAY TOO much cheese. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Burger: I forget which one my brother ordered but it was massive, comes with plenty of curly fries and some onion rings and a side of jalapenos which is much appreciated. He could barely finish it since it was such a big portion.
The bathroom was also pretty clean and spacious.
Oh and cherry on top was that they give you a lollipop at the end. bottom line: food is alright could be hit or miss but service is top notch!

Andy! Andy! Boom Boom Boom! Our ray of sunshine! We are returning tonight for dinner next door, because Andy made it all perfection! Great Server. Great Locale Representation. The Jones’ think he is what Cancun is all about! Boom!

Our food and service from Jose was fantastic. The mojitos we ordered were served with flat club soda and manager didn’t think they should be taken off our bill even though they were not even drinkable. It’s too bad our visit wasn’t 5 stars as it should’ve been because the drinks were bad. Seems like maybe they should use canned club soda to ensure freshness.
