The Veranda Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Nice service & pretty decent food... although we waited a bit to get our bill paid, it's a fairly enjoyable meal considering the lovely window view. It's inside St. James Hotel, so you don't feel rushed while dining there, which I appreciate.

    Had breakfast, got the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel and it was nothing like what I expected. The salmon was smoked, and then cooked, and chopped up. Reminded me of the kind you get out of a pouch. Asked the waitress, who was very nice, to clarify that the food was prepared properly, and asked if they could do the salmon smoked but not cooked (the way a bagel with cream cheese and lox are supposed to be), no such luck. It was alright, but would have been a better on the lunch menu.

    Food and service is spot on. Great place to meat for lunch and enjoy the beautiful view of the river, barn bluff, and historic Red Wing. I can't think of a better place I've enjoyed a chicken Caesar salad.

    We had the corner table on a picture perfect day. My sister ordered the "roll the dice" drink. She ended up with a prohibition vodka lime drink which she enjoyed. The process was a lot of fun! For lunch I had the prime rib sandwich with the softest 'hoagie roll' ever. The Au jus had a bit more rosemary than I care for but was good still! My sister had the fish 'taco' sandwich which she really enjoyed. My aunt had the quiche. Initially she was taken aback that the bacon was piled on top, but she thought it was very tasty once she got started. For sides, sis had fries, I had sweet potato fries and aunt had salad. Everyone liked their side. The sweet potato fries were some of the best I've ever had... Actually tasted like real sweet potatoes! Very yummy!

    Worst food ever! Chips with Guac were cold and sticky with oil. Wild rice soup was boiling and fat was floating Steamed mussels seemed fried and were drenched in some type of obnoxious dressing. Sandwich buns smelled access oil. Checked in sandwiches was almost dry as plastic.

    It's Red Wing Minnesota. For us narcissistic Chicago City dwellers, this might as well be Oudougou. Charming town, actually, and a splendid Hotel, the St. James wherein this Resto abides. I thought at first it was going to try too hard, but really, it's a pleasant place, with fine service and good food. The wheel is not going to be reinvented in this kitchen, but the stuff that came out of it on the day I was there was first rate.

    The Good: Excellent Sunday brunch. Pretty decent breakfast, all-around. Friendly staff. Free water refills. The Bad: Staff, while friendly, were a little unresponsive. The Rest: Did not attend for later meals, so I cannot judge the quality accordingly. Also, I love a tasty, home-style breakfast, and this is what I got at The Veranda.

    A pleasant dinner for a family. The guac is actually pretty good. The best meal of the night was the pork chop, potatoes, chutney, and greens. The white fish was uniquely served with red and green peppers, tomato sauce and a pesto. The guys enjoyed their burgers and fries. The margaritas were a bit sour. The server got a few things wrong on the order but was really nice about it. We would probably eat there again. It was a rainy day so we just looked out at the veranda, but ate inside.

    Met up with friends at the St. James on Sunday---expected Jimmy's to be open but they do not open until four. We ended up staying in the hotel to eat and drink as it was a cold, wet, windy day--The ladies at the Veranda were very accommodating and nice. We all opted for the buffet as there was not much in the way of options. I am not a buffet person so this does play into my review. It did have prime rib sliced to order and made to order omelets. They were a weird texture--perhaps eggs had too much water in them or something. The buffet had a lot of options - french toast sticks (really!!) sticky buns, bacon, link sausage, cheesy hash browns, pie, cake, chicken and cheesy bow tie noodles were just some of the offerings. I got coffee, mimosa, and the buffet got out of there slightly under 30.00 and was not really satisfied. My friends did not like the bloody mary's they did not even drink half. The space is nothing more than something you would dine at in a casino--not impressed. The outdoor space and bar looked inviting perhaps on a nicer day I will get a drink and sit outside!

    We will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone. We were 1 of 2 tables. My husband's pork chop was raw so he needed to send it back. A minimum of 20 minutes later he received his food and long after I was finished eating. We were offered no discount, no apologies...

    Nice spot for breakfast inside St. James hotel. Food and service always good. Great patio outside I'd love to sit out on some summer day.

    We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here, and also Sunday brunch with family the day after. The staff was so professional and courteous and the food was FANTASTIC! They really go above and beyond to make you feel special. It was really cool to see our names on the screen in the elevator and our menu was custom printed with our names and dinner choices. Very classy. Brunch was spectacular, as well. Made to order omelets, prime rib, and pretty much anything else you can think of! It was a great way to start wedded bliss :) Thank you Veranda staff!

    A decent spot for lunch on the second floor of the St. James Hotel. The atmosphere was nice and the service was attentive and thoughtful - our server went out of her way to find a newspaper and reading glasses for someone at another table. The food was tasty, but not outstanding. The market salad was creative, featuring hazelnuts and squash, but would have been better with less dressing. The menu includes only a couple of entree options for vegetarians. The beer list included several local beers and they serve freshly brewed looseleaf tea.

    Not sure why the rating was so low. My wife and I came for lunch and it was fantastic! I had a lobster roll which was about 90% lobster on a croissant, and my wife had the roasted beet salad. Bloody Mary's were on spot but watch out they will sneak attack you. We also had a croissant bread pudding that was stunning. Service was a little slow, but we were not in any hurry. Otherwise they would have received a 5 star rating.

    Good food, reasonably priced and well presented. Hard to find. It's inside a hotel lobby with no exterior signs.

    Had a sit-down Christmas brunch with a group of 8 or so... waitress was spot on all over it and food was fast. I got the squash ravioli. Sauce was TO DIE FOR with sun dried tomatoes, and proscuitto baked. I mean it was mouth watering, lick your plate delicious. The other entrees around me looked wonderful and I was wondering why I never hear anything about the place. They aren't open for dinner apparently, so small following in the day hours. They should rethink that, but I suppose it would mean some competition for the upscale and also delicious PORT in the same building. I won't even go there with a review-- it is out of this world with homemade gourmet items and a world-class menu-- bring your black Am Express though-- it's a mean buck! So the Veranda was a lovely step-down with delicious gourmet sandwiches and sweet potato fries perfectly done. I knocked a star for terrible cheese cake. Sorry! The bread pudding was also TO DIE FOR, but the cheesecake (my preference) was dry and tasted old. A real shocker since the Port has the best ice cream home-made nightly like honey almond and mint creme, or chocolate volcanos. Again, another restaurant from the same owners so surprised by the Veranda's lack of dessert options. These other reviews here were perhaps acted on, because this was far better than the other reviews posted. The atmosphere and decor also seemed updated. Lovely view of the river area and nice windows and light. No problems, friendly people, fast service, excellent food!

    Ate here on Monday, Sept 3 2012 for breakfast. Were seated quickly, handed menus. And that was all we saw of anyone for more than 15 minutes. No waters. No coffee, no server. We were among only 5-6 tables when we arrived. Most of the employees on the floor were talking amongst themselves by the server station. Server finally showed about 20 minutes into our visit. We ordered. Food was good enough but the wait had knocked us off our feed.

    this place doesn't even deserve one star. five people to dinner.. check around $100.00 I ordered the Thai salad - which was suppose to have a peanut sauce or dressing. instead I recieved a naked leafy green salad... with next to no dressing or sauce.. served with cold fatty small peices of slivered beef which was flavorless and dry. both my dad and daughter ordered shrimp and steak skewers... BURNT TO NEARLY Inedible. other daughter ordered a new york strip and got a rib eye - which was not even on the menu. came with onion rings which had an uncanny food flavor resemblance to fat fried fish. my mo. ordered the chicken.. and said it was edible.. beyond that it took over 15 minutes for the poor unskilled wait staff to bring beverages.which included both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverAges. it took litterly an hour and fourty to get served and eat....we rushed thru our meal after waiting over an hour for the food. I will never return. gross

    On a Tuesday night at 7pm, there were only 3 tables in use, two people each. That should tell you something right there. We were seated quickly and the waitress was OKAY(friendly enough I guess). Our drink refills were prompt, but that's about the extent of the positives. The place is old and everything is outdated. I'm sure there's someplaces that can make this "look" charming, but here it just looks rundown. The Italian Nachos were alright, not great, but not awful. The country fried steak wasn't awful either, but I would never go back to order it. It wasn't any better, then let's say, a Denny's. My boyfriend's beer cheese burger was AWFUL. It literally stunk. We think either the cheese was rotten or the meat was.....made us think of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Don't eat here. We tried it and won't ever be back. It's sad that a place like the AMAZING "Sarah's" in Red Wing couldn't make it, and an awful place like this sticks around. Just go across the street to The Brickhouse. You won't be disappointed.
