Although James' Beach invokes the surf and shore lifestyle, the menu offerings are more than just salads and seafood (though it features those items as well): James' has made its name serving comfort foods like fried chicken, steak, and meatloaf to the bohemian Venice crowd. On the weekends, it's a late-night eating spot, staying open 'til 1 a.m.
