It is a thrill to walk in and see their fabulous bakery cases. You can't forget what you just saw and it is on your mind as you order from Russell's interesting menu. Food was great, waiter was great and the carrot cake, claimed to be the best in St. Louis (correct) and an expresso chocolate cake where a wonderful end to the meal.

First time here will definitely be returning. Perfect place for a date night or meet up with friends. The wife and I had a lovely date night dinner here. The restaurant has a cozy feel with low lit lighting, great farm to table food, and wine selection. Don't forget about their dessert selections.

The food was amazing. Such a cute restaurant. We order a bunch of pastries to go after brunch. The breakfast flatbread and Lola Jean sandwich were great. We made a special trip from St. Peters just for the brunch.

We enjoyed a late lunch at Russell's. We were disappointed to find out that they've discontinued their stuffed croissants, which was one of their best menu items!
