    Love the Christmas decorations! The lemon drop martini was excellent. I had the beet salad, probably one of the best I have ever had and I had the rigatoni, it was delicious. Their red sauce is delicious. My dad had a glass of red wine, which he loved and he had chicken parm, it was excellent. Big portions!

    We selected Russell's to celebrate the missus' birthday. Great dining experience! The proprietor, Russell, welcomed us at check-in. Our reservation was for 5PM and this enabled a bit of quiet. We were greeted by our server, Chris, who explained the specials. We were not rushed in making our selections, nor were we ignored. Our service was prompt with a fair interval between courses. We also had a separate staff person to bus our table and keep our water glasses refilled. The staff was not pretentious or snooty, always courteous. My wife made a point of speaking personally to Russell to thank him for a memorable evening. We'll return soon!
