James St Bistro

Last night I went for dinner to James Street Bistro; on James st, in the Valley.
It is a nice relaxed place, with great atmosphere and service.
I think they reached their best when they used to make a nice vegetarian pappardelle and a nice vegetarian pizza.

Both were sadly lacking of the menu last night.

Yesterday the vegetarian options were a entree/light meal goats cheese tart, or a main meal of mushroom risotto, or Margarita pizza.

I went with the mushroom risotto.

It was disappointing-not entirely sure what was so wrong with it but i think it had been over cooked- the rice was all mushy and the mushroom taste was way too heavy like it had been stewing for a long time.
I have eaten many a risotto and many a mushroom in my time, and this was one of the worst i have eaten.

All up- I like the restaurant, but to only have 2 vegetarian main meals (a cheese and tomato pizza or inedible risotto) is not enough and therefore not a good thing.


Score- 2 Mushrooms out of 5
