Best Contemporary American Restaurants in South Eola

Great location, great food, great service, and great ambience! The house made focaccia was especially good with the citrus butter. The seasoning on the crisp bread was delicious. The shrimp and tomato bucatini was a great dish made with fresh pasta. The beef angus burger was enjoyable. The Winter Park Vice is a good mocktail and the Pineapple Flip Whip was a sweet, frothy alcoholic drink. The chocolate decadence is a delicious dessert. The decor is modern, elegant and has a touch to Winter Park history. I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes.

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant during our Valentine's Day celebration. Our reservation was for 7 PM, and we were seated promptly and professionally. The goat cheese appetizer, along with the duck and brownie lava cake, received a perfect 10/10. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere on the top deck, and the cocktails were exceptionally well made. Overall, our experience was delightful, as we felt that the service, food, and ambience were all excellent. We definitely plan to return soon to try more menu items. I highly recommend this location; it offers great value for the experience.

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.

We had a great and memorable evening. Our server was professional as well as gracious! The fixed menu was well thought out and presented well. We will definitely return.
