The Port is an odd duck. First of all, it's buried in the basement of the St. James Hotel. Second of all, it doesn't look like the decor has been altered since the 70s (Classy Euro Steakhouse Iteration?); I seriously expected them to bring us wine in a bottle wrapped in rope. Heavy stone walls, heavy woodwork, brass on everything, hunting prints and historical sepia photos on the wall. Third of all, and despite the above, the food was surprisingly good. Unlike the frozen-in-amber feel of the room, the menu is a very serviceable mix of well executed New American-style offerings. Nothing TOO crazy, but not remotely as stodgy as the environs would suggest. My girlfriend had the short ribs with truffled cauliflower, and I had the pork chop. I think we both could have gone for several of the other entrees, really (the "beggar's purse" looked intriguing), which is always a nice sign. Of the two, I preferred her ribs, but both dishes were solid. My only real quibble with my pork chop was that it didn't really come with a sauce or pureed item, and the contrast between grilled meat and lightly dressed greens was too wide a gap. But the chop was perfectly cooked, and the other items were well seasoned and presented; I'm a stickler for precision in dicing, and was very pleased with my teeny cubes of apple. Both entrees were moderately sized, too; somewhere in between pretentiously wee (a frequent larger city failing) and "reassuringly" massive (typical in smaller town fine dining places that don't want to scare people away). Girlfriend enjoyed her specialty cocktail, and we both liked my "mocktail" quite a bit. It was definitely more than just your typical "umm, throw some fruit juice in some soda water" afterthought. Our starter was not bad, but not memorable. And our desserts were kind of meh, too. But our server was pleasant and willing to entertain our dumb tourist questions. Overall, the Port is a pleasant and refreshing surprise. Red Wing is a charming place, but -- at least based on our experiences over a couple of visits -- the food there rarely aspires to anything higher than mediocre pizza. It's hands-down the best place we've eaten at in the immediate area, and certainly much better than the Veranda restaurant, upstairs. Which is kind of strange, since both operate out of the same hotel, and presumably share some management and cooking staff. If you are looking for a higher-end dining experience in Red Wing, this is the spot, and it's a pretty good one.

Awesome food, cocktails, and great service. The atmosphere is quiet and simple and romantic. We have been here a couple times with different menus and each time the food is delicious.

Came here for our 10 Year anniversary dinner and I was disappointed. Yes it was fancy however I didn't find it romantic and the food was mediocre and not worth the price.

Dine with ghosts! The ambiance may seem old-fashioned but don't miss the funky noises, weird cold spots and the best food around. The best cheese ever - try the blue cheese appetizer, a crazy caramel treat! Most items are incomparable. Just have to try them. I had a Bloody Mary appetizer GET THIS: Crab claw, homemade tomato and horseradish ice cream with shredded celery. Every bite a taste treat. AMAZING!

Superb! Fabulous service, meal & drinks. Spent a Friday evening in Red Wing, enjoyed Jimmy's Bar & when we were sat for dinner impressed with the wine list. Many more options than expected. Port offered fall specials which is expected & appreciate at a high end restaurant. Great atmosphere - we will be dining again!

We had a wonderful time and a great meal. The mussels as an appetizer were wonderful. I had the Kobe flat iron steak. It was excellent. One of my companions had the duck and loved it and another had the salmon and also raved.

this place looks awesome. it kind of boasts from the sidelines about being a prohibition bar and restraunt. however its not.. the bar the actual bar and mirrors as well as the woodwork got brought to red wing from a prohibition bar in new york city.. its got an old school gangsta feel... but this is where the good ends. I suggest stopping for a drink... perhaps to look but not much more. I can't imagine eating somewhere that smells of this place. it smells terrible... musty and like rotten meat. there are very limited menu items. .. seven if I recall correctly... and definatly nothing on the menu that appealed to four of the five guests ... I can not tell you about the food.... we litterly got up and left. unimpressed.

Well, we noticed no smell and our entrees were excellent. We are not new to finer restaurants; witness meals at numerous of the most notable restaurants in MSP--Solera, Masa, Pazzaluna, Origami, Sakura, and newly opened Acqua in both White Bear, and Forest Lake-- others too numerous to mention. We enjoyed dinner there on 8/16/13. Super wine list! Attentive service. Overall, a very nice experience.

Had the bison ribeye, just outstandingly prepared! Very friendly place, good conversation. A little pricey, but it's worth the treat.

The price performance of The Port was good. Overall the food was very enjoyable and properly prepared including some unique creations like the tomato sorbet and grated horseradish cream that were served with the Bloody Mary Stone Crab. The desserts were outstanding. We had a baked Alaskan and a Lava Cake. The naming of some of the dishes was too similar to traditional dishes but we're so different that some could be disappointed and the menu descriptions didn't help. This was the case with their Cesar salad. In reality, it was a dark flavored dish with the pork belly and minimal greens and dressing, not the bright flavor in traditional Cesar. So be clear about what you are getting before ordering. The evening was enjoyable but they need to better consistently train their staff. I had waiter envy all evening as I watch a very professional and capable waitress attend to another table nearby. Our particular waiter was very enthusiastic, but not very good. He forgot to give us the proper utensils 3 times after our dishes came. So we had to sit and wait for someone to go by to ask for them each time. The wine pairings with our 4 course menu were not all good pairings. For example, the Riesling was not nice with the Cesar Salad. And the waiter asked if we were having a Chardonnay or a Cabernet with our Lobster. To me, a pairing is when a professional makes exact selections with exact dishes and they sing together. There was a very serious, stern looking lady walking around the restaurant all evening making everyone uneasy. She needs to train her staff properly upfront with clear expectations and not hover like a school marm. Overall, I would dine at The Port again because of some of the creative dishes and the beautiful setting.

Great great food! Hotel is stunning! Room is clean, and cute as can be with a view of the Missippi River! Outstanding service in the restaurant "Veranda" by Laura! Highly recommend it all!

Well it is arguably the best upscale Resturant in Red Wing with reservations. During the Winter months it is a seldom visited location,except for parties or special ocassions, and the attention to menu items shows. I get the impression , that medium well is a standard or pre-cooking entrees , and holding to long...! As many entrees are over-cooked and do not have a natural juice or moist texture. The high points are its bartender, Lori which produces the best cocktails this side of Minneapolis! They also have a very good fresh Tap craft beer selection ; If you decide to dine in the bar area, she does a great job acting as a wait staff, as well. The setting is very cool and the bar itself is stocked appropriately with the better brands ( top shelf) of liquor, and she knows what to do with it..! The Caesar salad is very good, don't miss it, the Entrees tend to be over cooked, but the plating is well done! Specify your cooking preference , medium rare etc.. especially on fish and poultry, and it should improve results! It is-really the only game in town , sad but true.
