    I had a fantastic experience at Russell’s on Lake Ivanhoe! The food and service were excellent, and their wine selection was impressive. The house salad with their in-house dressing was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

    Short Ribs and scallops were incredible and the table side Caeser never disappoints. Russel’s is a go to before a Dr Phillips show. Gets better every time.

    We had a muti-generational family dinner on Friday night and it was incredible! The food and drinks were delicious and cooked perfectly. Our service from Nick was friendly and available but also not too intrusive. Perfect balance. And that bread?! From appetizers, entrees, and desserts, everyone left happy. The sunset capped off a great night for us, thank you to the Russell's team!

    Another incredible meal!I had the swordfish with the sorrel sauce which was amazing and my wife had the scallops over pappardelle and hers was delicious! Our waitress Elena was one of the best I have seen! ( I managed restaurants and hotels years ago) She was knowledgeable about all dishes and sauces!

    Had pork chop - which could be a boring choice for some places - but this one was super flavorful, char grilled perfection and still moist and not dry

    Great setting. The noise level is low and you can hear each other talk. Seems hard to find that these days. Add good food to that and you have a winning combination.
