We weren't sure what to do around Valentine's weekend, so on ""Date Night"" we stopped in at the Port Room at the St. James Hotel. The bartender was wonderful (Lori?), she educated us on a few things & whipped up an awesome martini for me. We were there very early so not too many people were there yet, however by the time we left they were arriving. The Port is a comfortable old place, we'll come back here soon. (Maybe get a room too) We also stopped on the 5th floor, to Jimmy's Pub. We loved the atmosphere & furnishing, nice fireplace, couches, wood paneling & views. We weren't so happy with the food... it's like a burger & beer place! My fish was dry & hard, and our service there was good at first, but then our server forgot about us for a really long time. (I don't like having to ASK for a bill) If we come back to Jimmy's it will be just for burgers & beer.
