   We have dined here many times. We’ve had brunch and dinner. The food is very good and the restaurant is beautiful. Our server this evening was very nice and her wine service was spot on. Towards the end of our meal a walk-in party of 18 came in 30 minutes to close, which is fine. Except seeing what I believe to be a “free pour” of champagne for everyone for the fact they couldn’t be sat all at one table. And then hearing the manager tell them that as soon as we leave, they will have room to make the table longer. Then said manager coming over to ask if we needed anything, first time she touched our table the entire time. And then the birthday girl standing up to confirm that to her guests during her toast.

   Wonderful restaurant! I ordered the blackened salmon with eggplant fritters and I enjoyed every bit of it. You get a nice view of Lake Ivanhoe as well. I believe my servers name was Madeline or Maddie but she was so sweet and attentive! Will deff be coming back

   We really enjoyed our meal here. I brought my grandmother and parents, we had a nice view of the lake and sunset. The food was all delicious and prices were pretty reasonable. Our choices ranged from steak to duck to fish and each was wonderful. Christian our server was very attentive and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better time and the manager (I think) and the chef also came by during our visit to check in.

    Max, our waiter was very attentive (we had him before in a previous visit). We had the Caesar salad for two prepared table side and it was excellent. The meal was cooked to what we ordered (a filet medium) and was a generous size.

    This was our third visit to Russel’s and we were glad to see the consistency of excellence , beginning with the valet taking my car, Kali at the bar, the service at dinner and wonderful food. What a gorgeous space, on Lake Ivanhoe. The owner was there and visited our table for a conversation. Nice touch. I’m pretty sure we will now go back monthly. Great value for the food and service.

    Best Caesar salad in Orlando! The restaurant wasn’t crowded and the server was attentive. We had a lovely table overlooking the lake and the valet parking was a nice touch (although the lot is tiny and I could have easily parked myself)

    This was our first time and overall had a great experience. We were there for brunch. Service was great both at our table and the bar. The only criticism is the smoked salmon Benedict came with a HUGE side salad with absolutely no dressing and one egg was over cooked.

    Way too noisy! Guitarist & loud conversations found my tablemate and I hoarse from trying to be heard. Dining room needs sound baffling. Try textiles on ceiling panels, rugs, wall hangings. Deafening. But the food and service is A plus!

    We arrived earlier than our reservations but they were able to accommodate us with no problem. Our waiter Matt was very attentive and gave us recommendations when he learned it was our 1st time. The Blackened Salmon he recommended was delicious, nicely flavored and moist. My husband has a garlic allergy so they made sure there was no garlic in his steak or potatoes. He's a picky eater but he said his steak was perfect. Both the manager and chef came out to check on the service and food and we had zero complaints. We would definitely come again.

    Quick reliable service with great food. We had approximately 1-1.25 hours for dinner, our server Vivian politely encouraged us to order as soon as possible, which we did and our food was prepared quickly. As always the food was delicious and the service was stellar. We will go back.

    Went for a sunset dinner (5:30 on Sunday). Very quiet. Had table next to window with great view but a little too sunny so they lowered the shade until the sun began to set. Really nice martini which the bartender helped to deliver. She had stuffed the blue cheese olives and they were amazing. Octopus appetizer was delicious. DIdn't feel like full meal so ordered the beef carpaccio which was plenty. Nice, attentive service. Visit to our table general manager, a very nice touch. Will be back!

    Russells will always be a top fave of ours! Between Birthday dinners, special occasions, or just a fun night out we always love this place. They take care of you and always welcome you with a warm hello! The staff is great and the owners always ensure you are being well taken care of. Food is amazing and they always put their own special twist on it. Even the Chef comes around and makes sure everything is perfect. Book this place and I promise you will have the best evening! 10/10

    Presentation was very nice, however, the "voted best burger" was ordered medium and was cooked well done. Management ignored this fact and did nothing about it, and the waitress mentioned that the GM was on vacation so the owner didn't know what to do about this! Astonished by this! We weren't looking for a free meal, but we did expect to receive our food the way we ordered it. We won't be back!

    I am so glad that such a pretty venue holds such a nice restaurant. The service team... WOW! The food... AMAZING!... The drinks...YUM, I ordered the Spicy Raspberry Margarita (drool) twice. For dinner, I had the salmon and woah.... and I know it sounds very simple but the basket of bread they make there it was SO good. My friend suggested they open a fancy bakery on one of the sides of the restaurant, because it was that good. It is on the pricey side though, BUT they do make it up for the price range for sure in terms of the entire experience. It was totally worth it and we will be back!

    It was our second meal at Russell"s. The dining room is very open with a great view of Lake Ivanhoe. We started with a Caesar salad made tableside which we last experienced in a restaurant in the Detroit suburbs forty years ago. MY wife had the Duck that was well prepared and very tasty. I had the mahi-mahi that was well prepared. The wine list is very good.
