    We had a perfect dinner at Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe! We started with the complimentary warm bread and butter, so good. For our main, we had the Pepper Crusted Beef Tenderloin and Grilled Swordfish with an extra side of their Aligot Potatoes, delicious! As we were celebrating a birthday, we ordered the Bread Pudding and two Cappuccinos. Yum! The waiter was very attentive. She added a candle to the pudding. The view of Lake Ivanhoe is beautiful and I think one of the best in the Orlando area. We'll be back.

    Our server I believe was named Christian and he made our experience exceptional. Food was great and service was impeccable. We didn’t have to ask for a single thing.

    Beautiful location and great food. They were out of quite a few things at the time, but we still had a great meal. Wish we had more of a view of the water, but still a great ambiance and service. Will definitely recommend and return.
