I can’t find a single thing to talk about that isn’t top notch about Russell’s. This is our “go-to” place for special occasions, this time my wife’s birthday with our son, his wife, and two munchkins aged 9 and 11. Food was superb, with our entrees including a big ribeye, a filet mignon, duck rivals, and chicken. For the young ones, they made a simple Alfredo over noodles. Everything was as good as it can be. The food was great, drinks were well crafted, and service was friendly, attentive, and professional. They didn’t hover, but were always there. Russell’s will continue to be our first choice for special occasions.

Cafe Juanita never disappoints us. The food and service was amazing. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday (who loves cooking and food). The happiness on her face during the meal was wonderful. Sarah was our server and attentive to every detail and happy to discuss the food and wine with us. It was a wonderful night.
