    Very good food and service in an attractive restaurant with a beautiful view - what could be better? Maybe the great bartenders you’ll encounter if you arrive early. We enjoyed our first dinner here so much that we booked brunch before we left!

    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!
