Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe

I tried something new...the lollipop lamb chops. They were okay. The tenderloin is way too good to order anything else on the menu.

We had a fabulous time celebrating our daughter's 30 Birthday! Our food was delicious and we had excellent service. Highly recommend

This was our first time dining at Russell's and it was a very positive experience. Both the service and the food quality was excellent. Would highly recommend to others.

The shrimp were not fresh. I paid $ 19.99 for a steak and shake hamburger and fries. The service was not timely. Too loud. Brought left overs home and fed the raccoons.

Made a reservation for 12:45pm and arrived 10 minutes early. They seated us at 12:45 pm. I would like to begin by saying- Those working the host stand as well as our server and food runner were very polite, friendly and welcoming. Once seated, looking around the very crowded restaurant there were two tables with food. Everyone else's table was still waiting on food, some had drinks or were still waiting. Never a good sign. I'm not overly picky and I'm relatively patient when a restaurant is crowded however, we ordered three cheeseburgers and the Mediterranean chicken wrap which was supposed to be served warm. Thankful we asked for the cold cuts charcuterie to come out asap as it indicated “shareable” on the menu. It still took 40 minutes to get. The server apologized profusely for how long it was taking for the food and at one point mentioned it would be another five minutes. It was longer. Finally got our order at 2:08. Yes, one hour and 23 minutes from being seated to getting our brunch orders. My son‘s girlfriend ordered a medium cooked hamburger and it was very rare. My Mediterranean chicken pita was room temperature at best and the chicken was overcooked. After commenting that three cheeseburgers and a wrap should not have taken so long. The manager came over, apologized and indicated he would remove the food from our bill. First time at this restaurant will definitely be the last. Food quality was not great, took wayyyyy too long, so many tables in the small space made it very loud.

We had a great brunch. The drinks were definitely amazing and the vibe was great. The food was ok but the ambiance and drink make up for it for my person choice. Would recommend

Recommend Everything! We’d had a long day and this was the place we didn’t know we needed! They were so welcoming, with amazing recommendations including descriptions of menu items that made my mouth water! It’s a family business that makes everyone feel like family - with unique and very good food! Octopus… pork belly… pasta..amazing desserts! You don’t want to miss Russells! Thank you for making our night so fun!

Stopped here for a quick bite stayed for a meal, this restaurant is quaint and lovely. The view is gorgeous and the food was reasonably priced and phenomenal. The staff was all so friendly but I was exceptionally impressed with our waitress Reagan, she was so personable and met all our needs quickly and offered many suggestions to her favorites on the menu. I will definitely be back here again

The McDonald's Filet-O-Fish actually tastesbetter than the swordfish I was served here. When I told the server that my swordfish tasted awful—like frozen fish that had been thawed and forgotten in the cooler for a week—nothing was done. No manager, owner, or chef came to inquire about my experience. This will be my first and last visit. And by the way, the swordfish was $42 on the menu

We came here for our first wedding anniversary and it was simply lovely.
The staff are a major asset to the restaurant as our server was the sweetest. She made excellent recommendations for drinks and food and was so very accommodating with us despite the restaurant getting busy. I wish I could remember her name (blonde/petite) as she really is an asset to their team.
The food was fun, innovative and tasty, and the drinks were delicious.
You can feel the heart of the family run business when eating here. I highly recommend this place and we will definately return.
Thankyou 💫

Perhaps it was because it was Christmas Eve and they had a lotta people that night?
Duck 🦆 serving was SUPER SMALL!? Crazy small? A person is going to a second restaurant after ordering this. The pasta dish is no better than anything I can make at home also on the smaller side. Alcohol drink beverage was also small 🤨
I've been to this place before and ordered the steak 🥩 which was outstanding!
