    Wisteria Twig is the cutest little tea spot and definitely worth the drive from the cities. I purchased a groupon for High Tea and went with my sister one afternoon. We were started with our first course of yogurt and berries, the next course was an entire scone (each) with a delicious pairing of lemon curd and another sauce I can't remember the name. The scone and sauces were so amazing! The next course was mini sandwiches and each and every one was delicious. I was savoring every bite. My favorite was a chicken salad served on a pumpkin bread. The last dessert course was huge. We were each treated to a slice of chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, and lemon cake. These were full slices and everything was good. The tea select is 2 pages long and had a huge variety of black, green, and herbal. I had a baclava tea that was really good and a plum tea that I also enjoyed. Teas are available to purchase as well. The service and atmosphere were amazing and I would definitely recommend going for tea, food, or a high tea experience. I loved all of it.

    Our family stopped at Wisteria Twig for high tea on our way through town coming back from a vacation. We had a lovely experience! The tea was served with 4 courses: fresh fruit in a yogurt sauce, scones of the day with lemon curd and cream, an assortment of 4 sandwiches and finally, 3 cakes. It was SO much food, all of it tasted really good and was made fresh in house. My favorites were the caprese and cucumber sandwiches and the strawberry and chocolate cakes. Their teas were also very good - we started with their house blend black tea, followed by the creme brûlée and the sugar plum fairy, which was my favorite. The staff were wonderful, we had a toddler with us and they even made him his own little meal. Definitely recommend the drive to Red Wing for this one!

    Pear Salad..... Delicious!
    Erin F.

    Wow what a hidden gem here in Red Wing! I had the Pear Salad and my mom had the Granny Smith salad. Gorgeous presentation, good portion size and really fresh ingredients. Pear was perfectly ripe, maple dressing was balanced and accented the salad well. Friendly home town service and a great, quiet tucked away location. Will be back!

    Lemon Bar, SO GOOD!!!!!!!

    This place is a real gem! We enjoyed the coffee today and the house made lemon bar delicious! It is just adorable, twinkle lights beautiful deco and tea sets. They have high & low tea, specials every day. And a nice little menu, Staff were so attentive, kind and friendly. I want to go back and bring my daughter & Mom what a fun time!

    My mom and I enjoyed an afternoon at Wisteria Twig for High Tea. It was such a lovely experience. The place was decorated so sweetly and everything had such a charming touch. The service was pleasant, wonderfully courteous and kind. The food was delicious. Started with fresh fruit and yogurt, followed by a cherry scone (delicate, crumbly and tender) with devontur cream and lemon curd. Next course was 4 small sandwiches, so balanced and flavorful (ham salad on multi grain, open face caprese - warm, chicken salad on pumpkin bread and cucumber on pumpernickel), dessert was a trio of treats that included a light, lemony cream cake, chocolate with a fudgy milk chocolate frosting and a raspberry crumb bar. We each had a choice of a couple teas, I tried the Sugar Plum Fairy and Baklava teas. Such a cute, pleasant experience for a road trip, winter adventure down to Red Wing. Will definitely come back!!

    If you come to Red Wing, you have to eat here!! The chef is incredible, and food is SO good. I had the turkey twig, my husband had the beef panini. We also shared a bowl of the clam chowder. The tea was marvelous and an overall great experience. We wish we had more room to stay for "High Tea"!

    Wow! This was such a great spot for lunch! We stopped on our way to Lake Pepin, and it did not disappoint. Homemade Chicken Salad on a warm croissant and homemade buttermilk scones = A++!!!!

    Ecclectic and charming seating in the atrium of Pottery Place.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Red Wing - despite it being the coldest weekend of the year. And my car being frozen shut. And loosing my mittens. But one thing Minnesotans do better than any other state, has been REMAINING OPEN in cold weather, or any weather for that matter. Even when it is -20 degrees, mama still gotta eat. No one will give you a pat on the back for opening your shop, they just expect it. I was happy to say that we were the only customers in their sweet little tea shop for 2 hours that day. The waitress and manager were rolling silverware and chatting pleasantly the whole time, in-between filling our tea cups and bringing us piping hot soup. As I perused Yelp for a cozy lunch spot, this caught my eye. Mostly because I had no idea where it was and we were down for an adventure. This cafe is located on the second-floor of Pottery Place - a building with some incredible history. If you are not from the area - just stop downstairs at their ginormous 90's TV in the lobby and press Play. To the left, a lovely exposed brick wall and views out the front of the building, and to the right, you can enjoy the atrium with wooden beams and quirky corners. It looks as though it used to be a walkway, and they've fit 10-15 little tables into the space, against the brick wall and windows with plenty of light. The space was very clean, and the tables were already set with tea cups and doilies (if you've read this far, you probably like this stuff too). The tea choices were smaller than most tea shops I go to, but they were curated and delicious. Unlimited refills and you can change your tea choice up to 6 times. We ordered the scones with lemon curd and devonshire, a must. The scones were fine, but the devonshire - perhaps it was more authentic? - but it was sour and tasted like yogurt, no thank you. We tried the African peanut soup, and it was surprisingly awesome. I didn't have high hopes, but the savory peanut-butter soup with rice and shredded chicken, served with a baguette really hit the spot. The salads looked wonderful, and the pear salad came highly recommended. I would definitely come back for the eclectic experience and stay for the tea.

    Royal Wedding tea...yummy.

    Is this a poor choice for those who follow gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyles?

    I don't know about dairy-free, but they do have a gluten-free bread option for their sandwiches!

    Kelly's Bar & Grill is one of my favorite places in Red Wing. I've eaten there many times over the…read moreyears, and I honestly can't remember ever being disappointed. The food is consistently excellent, the service is friendly and attentive, and it's simply a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The location on Old West Main is another thing that makes Kelly's special. There's a wonderful view toward the river and the railroad tracks, and I love just sitting there watching the trains go by and taking in the scenery. It has that unmistakable Red Wing atmosphere that makes the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, a beautiful setting, and consistency every time I've been there. I cannot recommend Kelly's highly enough. If you haven't been there, you're missing one of Red Wing's gems.

    I'm shocked to see the rating as high as it is at this establishment...The reason we chose this…read morerestaurant over others, is BECAUSE of the rating.... When we walked in it was busy and the hostess was friendly and estimated the wait time to be around 5 minutes, and it was; which was nice. We were seated in the porch area (there is a garage door that separates it from the rest of the restaurant) and it was sticky. The air was like the outdoors (SUPER humid day) but not as warm; there clearly was no AC. They did have a big ass fan on (that's the brand name I believe ) but it was on so low- you could not feel it. We all ordered drinks and only my husband was asked if he wanted a refill (family of 6 here). Our waitress never checked on us to ask how the food was until she asked if we were ready for our bill. My oldest son ordered a pizza with banana peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni, and instead he got a pizza with green peppers, no mushrooms, and a little bit of pepperoni. My husband ordered a burger which he said was dry and so dry in fact he had to remove part of his bun (he is NOT a picky eater). I ordered a Rachel. My sandwich was incredibly dry and the only reason I almost finished it was because there was no way I was letting a 15.00 sandwich go to waste.... My oldest daughter ordered a cheese quesadilla and it was comparable to something she could have made herself (age 9) and thrown in the microwave. My youngest daughter (age 3) ordered a grilled cheese and it was so bad that she refused to eat it. I tried it and it tasted like wax. Velveeta cheese does not make a good grilled cheese especially when it's cold by the time you get to eat it. It was inedible, we ended up throwing it away. The only person who got decent food was my second son who ordered a 12" pepperoni pizza. He said it was pretty good. I will say this place serves "bar food". We will not be returning. The waitress did take the messed up pizza off of our bill (we appreciated that) but, if she had checked up on us earlier, he could have just had a new one made... I fully understand that it was busy, but it's still not an excuse for poor service and bad food. I have worked in restaurants from low end to high end, so I know how it works. We would have appreciated a check in from our waitress and a smile at least... She could have been having a bad day, but don't take that out on the customer. At least the hostess was friendly. I also want to add that the menu has way too many options... maybe if there were less options, they could perfect some of their recipes in order for the food to taste better... Sometimes too many options is not a good thing.

    While visiting Red Wing, Minnesota, my friend and I stopped for a Starbucks coffee. The barista was…read moreincredibly friendly and we told her we were visiting from Chicago. She immediately recommended that we try Scarlet Kitchen & Bar and get the pretzel. Scarlet is located in the historic St. James Hotel in beautiful downtown Red Wing. The restaurant is large and inviting, but it was a lovely night, so we opted to sit on their patio wherever had a view of the town. Our server was attentive and friendly. Of course, we ordered Amy's Famous Pretzel, and with beer cheese and garlic butter dipping sauces, it was absolutely delicious--more like a pretzel bread. I ordered the Mississippi Pot Roast Sandwich, and that hit the spot, too. A simple Panna Cotta with a berry sauce was a light, and tasty finish to our meal. If you want a great meal, in a beautiful restaurant with attentive service, give Scarlet Kitchen & Bar a try. It will not disappoint.

    Went here on a Sunday night for a fancier dinner with our group. We had a reservation, so we were…read moreseated right away out on the patio. It was a little warm in the sun, but otherwise great outdoor weather and provided entertainment for the kids to look at the train when it went past. Our server was pretty quick to come get our drink order and we also puts the kids order and appetizer in right away. Our specialty cocktail and mocktail drinks came out pretty quick and all were quite refreshing. For the appetizer we got the Brussels sprouts with the horseradish mustard dressing and they were a hit. We even saved the dressing to use for the fries and sandwiches we ordered for the main. The kids burgers came out shortly after the appetizer which was useful to keep them entertained. It was pretty much an adult portion size and a well cooked burger. The only issue was that it took a while longer for the adult food to come out, so the kids were all done eating by the time we got our food. We got the Scarlett Salmon, Cubano, wild Mahi, Swedish stew, and pot roast sandwich. The salmon had a nice crust to it, but unfortunately for me, that also meant it was pretty salty. The couscous, watermelon radish, and chimichurri that accompanied were all very tasty though and the chimichurri did have a good kick of spice to it. The Cubano had good flavor and the horseradish mustard was a great accompaniment. The pot roast sandwich had decent flavor but was a little dry. The Mahi was the more successful fish entree and the Swedish stew also got great reviews. For dessert we couldn't make a decision, so we got the dessert trio which was a triple chocolate fudge cake, orange blossom and raspberry cake, and passion fruit panna cotta. The chocolate cake was a little dry for me, the raspberry cake was moist with a nice summer flavor, and the Panna cotta was the standout. A perfect light option to end the meal, and it came in a pretty cup. Overall they did have decent food and portion sizes were pretty good given their higher prices. The highlights are the beautiful outdoor patio and the friendliness of the servers.
