The cinnamon roll is to die for!! Enough for the whole table. We were fortunate to get an upstairs table at the window. Definitely quieter for some old friends catching up. Our server was very understanding that we hadn’t seen each other in some time. Food was a lot for those who had the hash of the day. Great meal with great old friends

This was our first time visiting Russell's and we were pleased with every aspect! Minor issue with restroom (toilet didn't flush). Food, service, ambience was delightful. Only regret was not planning timeline better to be able to indulge in some of their baked goods:-( Highly recommend.
