   Always a great brunch with lots of breakfast as well as sandwich and quiche options. Love the ambience of the patio on a beautiful day with a nice glass of wine or white sangria.

   Dinner for 4 on a Friday. First visit. Was very excited based on the great reviews. Great ambiance but very loud indoors. Service by Morgan(?) was friendly but inattentive. They seemed very under-staffed. We waited literally an hour for our dinners to arrive after ordering, and the restaurant wasn’t even full. The two sea bass were a little on the dry side and meager portions for $50 plates. The burgers were cold and flavorless. The fries were totally soggy. Very expensive, very underwhelming meal. Dessert to go was the best part of the meal. Wont be back.

   Russell's on Macklin is known for their wide variety of delicious desserts, but their dinner menu items are every bit as good. Our group started with the grilled focaccia then salads, and for dinner there was a burger, the meatloaf, homemade Gnudi, and the filet special. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, was phenomenal! And we ended with amazing desserts. This was our third visit - the first was a year ago for dessert, the second was for brunch three months ago, and this was our first dinner. Will absolutely be returning!

   I love Russell's because it is a great restaurant just a few blocks from my house. It has incredible food and the desserts are awesome....I go there most often for the desserts. The food seems a bit expensive, but the portions are very large and we all took food home. I'm glad they are in my neighborhood.

   For such a small busy place the service and food are exceptional. You really get your money's worth at this place.

   Terrific food and service from Addy. We split a cinnamon roll, and it was a treat. The hash special for the brunch was tasty as well. Coffee was hot and Addy was efficient and polite, a delight. Thanks and we will be back, next time we might dig into some of the delectable looking deserts in the bakery case!

   We absolutely always enjoy our time dining here. The food is 2nd to none and the staff is always beyond friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough.

   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
