I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, getting ready for some spicy chicken goodness. I was disappointed. The wrap was filled with Caesar salad, a few small pieces of crispy chicken and very little buffalo sauce. $15. They should just call it a Caesar salad wrap.

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. Without painting a picture of her as a paragon of virtue, she certainly advances the excellent reputation of your establishment. Please let this young lady know she is certainly appreciated. Thank you, Peter

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.

Food was delicious and plentiful, service was great! It's a cosy, smaller room, but lovely!read more

A big platter for just the two of us. I took the steak for main dish it came with a free soup or salad. The soup was chili we both enjoyed it. Salad was sad and the blue cheese dressing was so strong. For the steak cook to perfection. I already had so much fries from the app. Wish it came with a little more veggies. I will be back. Next time we go on a road trip that way.

We started off with the Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip which was fantastic ...and it got better from there! My main course was the Montreal Style Smoked Meat Sandwich - also an excellent choice! We ended up visiting 2 more times for dinner and once for breakfast - every item we sampled was a hit ..and we tried a variety of items (see photos). The busiest day was a Thursday when we stopped in for a late breakfast and the service & quality of the food was just as consistently outstanding as our previous visits. We also really liked the vibe - dark wood & cool lighting! This is a definitely a top-notch pub/grill - highly recommended!
