    Another excellent meal at Russell's! The cocktails were well prepared. The octopus was fabulous, and the frog legs might have been the best we ever had. The pork chop was juicy and a treat, the steaks were prepared perfectly, the duck was delicious, and the swordfish was excellent. The white chocolate bread pudding and cranberry creme Brule were a great finish.

    Absolutely above and beyond. From the table side Ceasar salad, to the peppercorn crusted tenderloin and their excellent selection of beautiful wines, what’s not to love?! Oh wait, those views! The views just added to the ambience of the restaurant itself, which already is rich in pleasing aesthetics. Service was impeccable. Will absolutely return.

    We enjoyed and amazing 30th Anniversary Dinner at Russell's. It was our first time there and we will be back - the Scallops and Ribeye were fantastic. Service and care by Harry, Brandon and Alaina was top notch!
