My father-in-law read about this pub online and wanted to check it out, so he, my husband and I…read morewent for dinner on a Sunday evening. It's a cute little Irish Pub. I had never been to Carleton Place before, and don't know the town at all, but the street it's on looks like the "main street" of small towns. There's no attached parking lot, but there's street parking and a public parking lot across the street (don't know if you have to pay for the lot, but street parking was free). We shared the bruschetta to start ($11). It was 6 pieces with a garnish of mixed greens in the middle (like a tiny salad). The bruschetta was good. It was nicely broiled and had cheese and garlic along with the diced tomatoes. I had the Coconut Crusted Haddock ($22). It came with 2 huge pieces of haddock. (You also have the option of 1 piece for $18). It usually comes with rice and steamed vegetables, but I was told I could substitute the rice for fries or mashed potatoes. I went with fries. The fries were regular cut and were ok. The steamed vegetables were mostly cauliflower and carrots, but I also had a few pieces of green peppers. They were ok, and made me feel good about myself that I had vegetables with my meal. The fish was excellent. Really flakey and delicious. It came with a creamy sauce and I'm so happy it came on the side and not poured over the fish. So the fish stayed crispy and I could control the amount of sauce. My husband had the Village Meat Pie ($18). He also got fries and steamed vegetables. The meat pie was a slice of a larger pie and not a small individual pie. It looked really meaty, but also had some vegetables in it. He enjoyed his meal. My father-in-law had the No Blarney Burger with fries ($17). It was a burger with bacon and cheese. He enjoyed it. Service was friendly. Decor is typical Irish pub. I enjoyed my meal and I think it's a cool pub. I definitely recommend it for people who live in Carleton Place or are passing through Carleton Place. However, I personally would not make the drive from Ottawa just to eat there again, as I feel there are comparable places closer to Ottawa, but if I was already in Carleton Place for some other reason, I would be open to returning to St James Gate.

She was EXTREMELY attentive and ensured my son's safety with his nut allergies. Moreover, she made great recommendations which in my case resulted in the most amazing shrimp pasta.

The location is great, the restaurant is classy and very popular with the locals who are greeted with warmth when they enter. ***SUPER STRONG AND ENTHUSIASTIC RECOMMENDATION -- be smart and ask Amy for recommendations, you won't regret it!*** I only wish she would open another Vault in SoCal!!

The dishes are plentiful and absolutely delicious. I'm slightly handicapped. There's one server who usually takes care of me. Her name is Rebecca. She is very polite and is definitely a very kind, considerate and caring person.

For a Wednesday afternoon, the place was hopping. We decided to eat on the bar side where there was a fan moving fast to cool us down. It was quiet but filled up right after we got there. It was ripping hot and my wife and I appreciated the fan but a table of golden agers asked them to turn the fan down, which they did. I was impressed with their responsiveness to the customers. The food overall was really good. I had the G & G burger that was awesome - burger was perfect, fries were crispy, homemade gravy.... nothing to smack talk about. My wife had the beet and chicken salad, which was good but the chicken was a little dry. Aside from that, the place was clean, the bathrooms were spotless, and overall great lunch. We would definitely go back.
