"Wanted to go here since it opened I read the great reviews but somehow it got off my radar. So we ditched Flemings I dragged my husband to a 'Taco Shop ', though not your average 'taco ' shop. Started with BS (brussel sprouts). They were roasted with a perfect char, tossed in a light lime wonderful chipotle mayo that is mouthwatering. Like no other brussels you have had in San Diego. I wanted to lick the plate. My husband had to have tacos. I love tacos but generally am not a big corn tortilla girl, but these 'masa ' corn tortillas are to die for. Start with they DO NOT fall apart so you can eat a taco in a civilized manner. They tasted amazing with just the right amount of each ingredient so each bite is a taste explosion. The taco platter comes with 2 mix match tacos and with beans rice, which are just OK, but the tacos make up for it. Both tacos were equally tasty so I won 't tell you what we got so you can experiment yourself. On the table is a red tomato based sauce (fair) a green sauce I wanted to put on everything! My trout entree was cooked to perfection was literally the BEST trout I have ever eaten including when in Idaho and caught in the river cooked by a 5 star chef right there. At Galaxy the trout had crispy/crunchy skin, light/delicate white fish, perfectly cooked inside not one single bone. Cocktails were divine. The Paradise; citrus vodka, hibiscus, and passion fruit...Yum-my. My husband is still talking about the Pepino Picante; cucumber, cilantro, lime, jalepeno tequila.....fresh spicy all in one glass. For dessert Flan, which was creamy delicious. Our server Sarah was spectacular. Attentive but not annoying, friendly but not intrusive, she did not miss a beat. Only negative is the 3.5% mandatory s/c. I think in a venue like this it is not appropriate. Perhaps a Georges or Flemings, but not this casual. Can 't wait to return."

"My husband and I immensely enjoyed our 4-course dinners last night. We had celebrated NYE at James Beach on two occasions in recent years, and had wonderful meals, great service and a great deal of fun, dancing and celebrating. I did not expect to have so delicious a dinner at home. We had a small incident. I ordered the lobster tacos, and when my husband brought home our order, mine was missing the lobster and beans. I called, and the gentleman who took my call was very apologetic, and asked if we wanted to come back. I hesitated, since there was so much food with the other courses and my husbands short ribs. I thought I might simply dig into his and have short-rib tacos, but my husband said he didn’t mind driving back. (We live in the Pacific Palisades Highlands, so it was a bit of a trek. Not only was the meal exceptional, but they were kind enough to make up for the error by sending an order of mac and cheese and a very nice bottle of champagne, along with the lobster and beans to complete my order. I very much appreciate their professionalism. Anyone can make a mistake, but not all will make up for it in so generous and professional way. The meal was exceptional. We will continue to support James Beach with further take-out orders until we can, one day, return to the restaurant to enjoy the fun, casual atmosphere and friendly, efficient service."
