Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe

Service, atmosphere, food all phenomenal. Would come back. Complimentary Valet.
Classy spot to dine at on the lake. Left with a great experience

We had such a great time here, and a big shoutout to Erin for making it even better! Super friendly and on point the whole time!! She gave us awesome suggestions (everything was delicious), and the drinks she made….OMG AMAZING!! Great vibe, even better service—Erin really made the experience top-notch!

It was an extremely pleasant experience.

Our dinner was delicious! The scallop entree was perfect! Our server Nick was great! The hostess was so lovely. Beautiful view of the lake! We definitely recommend!

Very easy to book on OpenTable. We used valet parking, and the attendants were very professional. Greeted warmly when we arrived and sat immediately. Atmosphere was very nice with a lovely view of Lake Ivanhoe. We had the scallops and the salmon. Both were prepared correctly and was delicious. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and we were not rushed to finish. Our Server was attentive but not over attentive. Overall, it was a very nice dining experience. The manager checked on us as we were leaving to make sure we enjoyed everything. Very nice date night.

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.

A very average meal. A lovely setting and nice ambience and very polite staff however all that was slightly ruined by the rest of the meal. I was informed 5 minutes after ordering that the dish I had chosen was off which was not communicated to me before. My partner ordered the burger which was very bland and the chips were way over-salted. This is the burger that claims to be the best in Orlando! My shrimp linguine on the other hand was delicious. The service was poor. The waitress seemed to forget about us multiple times which resulted in me nearly pouring my own water as my glass had been empty for 5 minutes. Very inattentive and didn't seem to care. We ate on a quiet Monday night so wasn't like they were ran off their feet with customers either. For the price we paid for the dishes it was not worth it.

Very slow service!!!nice view ..food ok...table next to us with child on iPad listening without headphones on loud level.

The ambiance of Russell's for dinner is very open, on the lake, comfortable... a perfect place for a nice dinner.

Always a great experience. We invited friends for their first trip to Russell's. As always the food, service and sunset were perfect.

Perfect Mothers Day for Mom was Incredibly Ambience and Environment with Out Server who was Incredible but Forgot Her Name who was attentive despite how busy they were on Mothers Day. Food was on point and tasty with good flavor 🙌🏽.

When we arrived there were two other parties of four seated yet it took about 40 minutes to get our food. The coffee was like brown water with little taste and the food was too salty to eat. When we left we all felt like our cheeks were being drained of all hydration. The manager/owner was pleasant, but the waitress didn't know the menu. The highlight of the restaurant were the valet guys. They couldn't have been happier and nicer. Even though they had nothing to do with the food they apologized profusely.

Have never had a bad server there! The table side Caesar is not to be missed... such a lovely nostalgic way to begin a meal.

Although they advertise that their brunch ends at 2:30pm, they didn't have the dinner menu available for our reservation and only had the brunch menu. The burger was very greasy and the service slow. The menu options were also limited.

We had a wonderful birthday celebration. The host greeted us and wished my partner a happy birthday. We had the perfect table overlooking the water. Our server was delightful and even though she was the only one working the floor with all of the tables we never felt neglected or needed for anything. The food was perfect, we tried a new app (zucchini fries) which was great and had so many great choices for dinner we let our server help us decide. We never felt rushed to leave and enjoyed the rest of the bottle of wine before heading out to take photos by the water. Even the valet was quick and curious, we will be back soon, Russell's is a gem.
