Service was amazing! Greg didn't rush us at all. So when I had made the reservation, according to OpenTable, it showed a 5:45pm availability. The restaurant called to verify the reservation and to let us know they do close at 6pm. So we got there a little after 5pm so as not to keep them too late. We sat outside and it was lovely. Our drinks and meals came out quickly and hot! Greg even suggested things we could do in the area afterwards. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful meal here after our long car ride to the Hyatt Regency. Our 2 kids loved watching the planes take off outside, and the pork chop and pear salad were some of the best we’ve ever had!

The food as always was excellently prepared and presented. The waitress we had however was pushy and we felt rushed by her and quite frankly felt like we were a bother by being there. Fortunately this has never happened before and hopefully wont happen again.

Russell's never disappoints. Good service (Shannon, our server was attentive and funny) and great food. My wife and I shared a Caesar salad - expertly prepared table side by Shannon - and I thoroughly enjoyed the beef tenderloin, deliciously presented with a marvelous peppercorn sauce. Highly recommended.
