The food, ambiance, service, and overall experience we had at Russell's was fantastic. We dined with Russell's for Valentines day and they offered a specialty menu as well as a complimentary gift after dinner. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better Valentines day dinner!

We had another great dinner at Russel’s for Valentine’s Day. Probably one of the best meals we’ve had there yet. My salmon was great and my wife enjoyed the pork chop a lot. Our server Reagan was attentive and friendly and we got a chance to meet the owner. Our table was next to the window with great views of the lake. I highly recommend Russel’s for great dining experience.

The experience we had was ok. The food was ok, the ambience was ok, the service great, the dessert was ok. A few bright spots: The Spare Ribs, The potatoes were whipped perfectly, The bread, The Crème Brûlée, and the wine. The so, so …The Shrimp Cocktail was unappealing and presented horribly (take it off the menu if you cannot do better), The Pork Chop meat looked nice and this but was so boring and unappealing and The Chicken Kiev was just alright. We would give the overall…6.5 out of 10 stars.

Overall we had a wonderful experience . The food, service (Nick) and ambience was on point. The wine list was a little underwhelming for me, as I was looking for a Red not from the US by the glass but made due with a white. My husband and I both work in the industry and enjoyed our visit. Thank you.

Service was great, and we enjoyed the live music was great for brunch. Food was yummy, but took a LONG time to come out... like 45-60 minutes after we ordered. The waitress was apologetic but we were starving haha. Nice view of the lake and beautiful restaurant. We'd be willing to give it another try!
