The Port

"The service and atmosphere at the port is always fantastic. Very welcoming and the bartender can make any cocktail you want. I just wish they had more food options. This would be a great sit down dinner place, but all they have are appetizers."

"Family wedding jn the hotel. We went here twice. Once there was only one server/bartender for the whole restaurant on a Friday night. Drinks took over 30 minutes. Gabby was the manager. The next night we still came back after the wedding as that was what the hotel recommended. There were more servers. But extremely rude. Our large party was treated like trash by Gabby, who was our server and the manager this time. She was angry we had a group of 10, and suggested we go to another bar. Even tho they were open for over another hour. Then, when one person from our group had an issue with their id (it had apparently just expired and he hadn’t realized it) the entire group was kicked out. She took drinks out of people’s hands, shouted at us, and made a huge scene. We were not being rowdy, did not expect any issues, and did not know why she exploded on us. Was extremely rude, and no one knew why we were being kicked out. Horrible experience both nights, after spending so much money on the wedding!"

"The blonde bartender is rude and often seems irritated. She has been this way every time I bring friends into the bar. I enjoy the atmosphere and style as I am accustom to high end establishments. However this bartender actually drives people away. Last time I was there, multiple others outside of my group were commenting on her terrible attitude and service."

"This place was the best part of our two day trip to red wing… The bartender was the most attentive, friendly person that we’ve ever met… She made the best suggestions for drinks that we were unfamiliar with and each one was catered to our tastes…Lori you are a class act!"

"Gem of a restaurant in downtown Redwing. Started with a cheese platter. We chose the blue cheese. We love blue cheese, but the star was the chutney that accompanied it. We are not sophisticated, so we rolled up the cheese in the provided lettuce and dang, it was good. We chose to split the rib eye (medium rare) and the salmon. Both were cooked to perfection. The rib eye was juicy and tender with all the delicious fat it should have. The salmon was on a bed of vegetables mixed with bacon and an avocado spread. Delicious is all I have to say. The knowledgeable waitress steered me in the right direction with the wine pairings. Everything was perfect. Price wise, this was very reasonable. Especially compared to our usual downtown mpls excursions."
