This restaurant has the most delicious food ever! Worth the price, trip, everything! It is in a business park but once you enter the restaurant you completely forget that. The environment here is just great and comfortable. The staff works very hard to make customers feel at home and happy. They are knowledgeable on the menu and are very helpful. Definitely recommend!!
Truly delightful spot! The environment and attitude in the bar is chill and comfortable. The drinks are inspired and well prepared. ALL of the food is delicious! This is not a business park restaurant. This is a lovely, neighborhood restaurant/bar that would be big time and big money in Seattle or Bellevue.
Always excellent but it gets spendy when we order wine. Great selection. Fun staff.
This is a very crowed restaurant for a very good reason, the food and wine is excellent! You'd better make a reservation or you'll wait I had the Filet and it was prepared perfectly medium rare as I requested and the risotto was a good compliment to the steak. The sauce was a sweet teriyaki which pared well with the steak. The parking is free and don't forget to make that reservation.
Russell's is a unique restaurant in the sense that lunch service is different than the dinner service. For lunch, you actually go up to the kitchen counter and order there and then find a table and sit. Dinner is full service.
Russell's lunch is great. Their sandwiches are delicious and you can tell they use the best ingredients. Their burger is the best I've had locally, i recommend trying it. They also have a smoked salmon pasta that is amazing. There are no fries here, just home made chips. They also have really good soups. The lunch menu isn't huge, but quality is the focus.
For dinner you should get reservations. Sometimes you can drop in, other times there's no tables available. The food is delicious. The menu is simple and caters to a broad taste.
The setting is an old barn, so lots of wood. The setup is pretty open, so if you want a romantic setting you might be able to request a secluded table. There is a place for groups, but it's not another room, so our there a group there, it can get louder than usual.
The service is very good. Very attentive without being intrusive.
Great food, great cocktails, great wine, and superb service. This place is definitely on my short list for dinner spots!
I had the pork chop and it was a delight, the wait staff was awesome and of course the ambiance of the building is a perfect setting for any occasion.
Thought I'd stop for dinner as was in the area for an errand on my way back north. Arrived at the entrance by the register to get seated. Staff came and went and did not seem to be busy. At some point 4 staff members were standing by the register, I said hi and looked at them expecting to be seated but nobody moved. After waiting for 10 min, I decided to leave. Very odd. I have never experienced anything like it.
Food is always good. Atmosphere is a bit casual and noisy. Interior design doesn't fit the food and pricing from my perspective. For a business meeting or date it's not a good place. For time with friends over a bottle of wine it's pretty good.
Amazing! We both had steaks and they were cooked perfectly and extremely delicious. Dessert was also incredible and worth saving room for. I had the cheesecake which was light and tasty while my husband had the bread pudding that was so good he never put down his spoon. We will be back!
5 stars for an amazing waitstaff. Seriously, those guys are on it. Food also came out in a very timely manner.
Oddly, my steak was cooked perfect, but my carrots were way underdone (had more trouble cutting them than the steak). Risotto was mush. Steak came with an odd sauce. The restaurant had just opened and was almost empty, so I was surprised to see our complementary oil and balsalmic served in a deep bowl where no one could reach the balsalmic (our neighbors had a shallow dish). Overall pretty tasty, and I really enjoyed our wait staff.
The crab cakes were delicious. My favorite of the night, but they made us VIOLENTLY SICK. It ruined my husband's plans to hang out with his friend from Thailand before he leaves. I was too busy hugging a toilet bowl to say goodbye who knows when I'll see him again.
I have been eating here for several years. Excellent food and wine selection. Best kept secret for fine dining.
5 stars for awesome waitstaff and drinks, minus two stars for food.
Unfortunately, ingredients didn't seem to be of the best quality, but that could have been due to poor seasoning (everything was either bland or too salty). It wasnt awful, but I expected much better; especially for the prices.
I liked the cozy yet upscale atmosphere. Will probably go back for drinks and maybe take my chances on an appetizer.
Atmosphere was nice, though a little dim. Its great for adult birthdays and anniversaries. Appetizers and cocktails were great. Main entrees were exceptionally delicious. I would definitely come here again in the future.
My one star if for the food, not the staff. Went there with a friend that said it was a nice place. I ordered the appetizers; beef bites and the seared pork belly. The beef bites should be called beef scraps. All different tiny sized bits and pieces of very over cooked something. I took three bites and the bartender said there wasn't enough left on the plate to take back. I literally get better beef bites at Rooney's bar in Woodinville, that's how poor it is. The pork belly? Imagine you cut 5 little squares from a strip of bacon and cooked it until hard. I've had good pork belly, it will melt in your mouth. This was a salad with 5 little bacon bits. So then we tried the seared scallops. Sigh, overdone (seared until hard brown on both sides) in a sauce of so much sugar and fat, it could have been tofu for all you could taste the scallops. If you're going to act high end, I expect a lot better.
