The chef's specials were amazing, the service was wonderful, and we didn't feel rushed or crowded. Can't wait to go again.

Our server was so friendly and very good at her job. The food was amazing. We had the market steak and market fish. It was a filet and yellow fin tuna

We stay at the St. James Hotel about every 6-8 weeks and eat 3 meals in Scarlet. Again, on our recent visit, the food was spectacular and the service great. The chef at Scarlet is at the top of his game. Highly recommended.

Very friendly, great service and the food was delicous!

We came for Valentine’s Day, and drove about an hour away. We have never been to scarlet kitchen, and were blown away by the food. Please give your compliments to the chef, we will definitely be back! Can’t wait to try out your patio this summer. Thank you for the great experience!! Can’t wait to be back.

The service was wonderful, attentive, friendly, but not overbearing. They did a great job considering COVID restrictions.

Engaging but respectfully distanced service. Excellent food. Timely service.

Delicious food made from local food sources. Healthy options. Great staff and atmosphere.

Scarlet has really upped its game. The food, in a word, was exceptional. Amazing flavor in everything and great service. I've always loved the St. James and have spent a lot of time there over the past decade, but this trip had me blown away by the food. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

My wife and I enjoyed a Valentine's weekend getaway at the St. James Hotel. Since the outside temperatures were subzero, we booked Saturday night dinner at the Scarlet Restaurant at the St. James. The $65 prix fixe menu was intriguing. Four courses with three choices in the first three each creative in description but so exceptional in execution by new Chef Cory. The champagne feta salad with roasted squash, pomegranate seeds and candied pecans was among the most balanced, flavorful salads we've ever eaten. On the second course, my wife shared her generous meat and cheese board and I shared with her my umami-rich sweet and spicy fried rice, a blend of crispy sweet potato pieces, bean sprouts, scallions, jalapeno, pickled fresnos, and cilantro seasoned with soy mayo and sesame seeds and topped with sweet Thai chili-seared pork belly. If that was the sole dish of the evening, I would have left satisfied! My third course cherry noir duck was a point-counterpoint of herb and garlic duck leg confit and medallions of duck breast herb oil seared over roasted brussel sprouts + bacon + white hominy bits sprinkled with a bourbon and black cherry gastrique. Again, one of the best dishes I've ever enjoyed. We ran a list of comparisons from a bistro in Paris to a restaurant in Denver, the prior best duck dish I'd had. My wife enjoyed a cauliflower puree, asparagus, charred tomato in a Calabrian chili sauce over handmade orecchiette pasta, topped with arugula and cracked pepper garnish. Fabulous! The fourth course dessert options were chocolate or vanilla, both creatively plated with the chocolate mousse drops on chocolate layers and ganache between piped meringue with cherries served under smoked glass hood. What fun! The drunk in love vanilla panna cotta with pomegranate seeds, poached peaches and red wine sauce was a grand finale. We envision this young chef's meteoric rise in regional cuisine!

Tasty food and excellent service! Quiet atmosphere also.

Our server, Tony, was efficient and friendly. The food (steak salad and walleye sandwich) was beautifully presented. The hot tea came with fresh cream and honey. The background music was relaxing, perfect volume. Watching eagles fish on the Mississippi added to the experience. Our take-out shrimp alfredo dinner was also enjoyed immensely. And we felt very safe in spite of the Covid pandemic.

Nice place, fun atmosphere.

My husband and I ate here for our wedding anniversary. The food was amazing and the waitress was the best! She even remembered my drink order from the night before.

Great food.

Had 3 great meals here in 2 days. The chef know what he is doing, and service is great. Highly recommended!

Exceeded all expectations. Made staying in the hotel that much more magical

The atmosphere & decor were light & airy. Water view which is nice too. I look forward to coming back in the warmer months to sit outside & enjoy the view. The service was average, we had to go up to bar for a soda refill. I think they were short staffed because of Covid-19. They also stop serving breakfast @11:00 when check out from hotel is @11:00. That was disappointing too.The food was very good & we felt the prices were reasonable.

Excellent ambiance and service. Good drinks and meal, but chef’s specials priced a bit high in my opinion, love the remodel!

The food was very good. The bartender/server was very good also

Exceptional service, management, food, and selection of cocktails. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Setting is beautiful but one dish was over cooked.

An amazing place in Red awing for drinks and dinner.

Steak was well done, when we ordered steak medium rare. We ordered meatballs dish and both were cold.
Gentlemen cleaning our table was very quick and nice.
Overall restaurant looks very pretty:)

We throughly enjoyed our lunch and the services of our server. We felt very Covid comfortable throughout!

The food was really good and the service was thoughtful and prompt!

Tasty food! The ambiance was decent but I thought the restaurant would be a bit fancier. Overall it was a great experience though.

Newly remodled with excellent food and staff. We will be back for more great food.

Incredible drinks and food. The staff was wonderful as always.

The food was just outstanding, sometimes a surprise for a hotel restaurant. We both had Swedish meatballs, which were the best I’ve ever tried. We also ate breakfast the next morning which was also excellent. The wild rice breakfast bowl was a big hit. Service was great both times. Ambiance was just average. We will definitely go back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend this restaurant. They easily accommodated our gluten free requirements.

Food and ambience is good. But the service we received was poor - 1/2 hour wait for a simple breakfast. No good explanation by our waiter, who was so busy chatting with other patrons that we had to ask him to check on our order.

Decor a mix between casual and fine dining. Tasty food except for some undercooked turnips. Great service

So good! We had a wonderful brunch! This restaurant is very well appointed and the menu offered great variety. Yum!

Really friendly service, lovely restaurant, good food in a smaller MN city - well worth a visit

I love the remodel, the food was excellent and Lisa was great!!!

Great service and incredibly fresh food. We were visiting from out of town, and a little disappointed with the overall options in Red Wing. We came across Scarlet Kitchen and Bar and there was no question on the decision. Our service was wonderful, attentive, and there was a varied menu for all tastes. Would definitely go back.

Lobster bisque with no lobster and a total BS response from staff ("it's been that way for years")....but still charging $9 a bowl? Really off-putting. What's next? Fish tacos with no fish? Pepperoni pizza with no pepperoni? Total fleece job. Good luck in the future.

Even though I made a 5:00 pm reservation a week early, requesting a window seat, we were told when we arrived we were told no window seating was available because they were "reserved". However, there were 3 empty window tables and these remained empty. This was disappointing because we were celebrating our 26th anniversary! Both my husband and I ordered wild rice soup to start - which was excellent. I ordered Swedish meatballs. They were just ok. The dill sauce overpowered everything and the meatballs themselves were course and overcooked. My husband ordered an apple chicken entree that he said was good. I am a big fan of Jimmy's (which wasn't open) so I was disappointed to find a bright unromantic "kitchen" ambiance. Our server deserves 5 stars, as does the bartender who made a special drink for me.

Birthday dinner-food excellent! Flatbread pizza amazing! Free birthday dessert! Yum!

The food was great, but the portions were too big. Without a refrigerator in our room, I could not take some to go. I usually don’t care about leftovers. But the fettuccini was so good, I would have liked some the next day.
