First time here will definitely be returning. Perfect place for a date night or meet up with friends. The wife and I had a lovely date night dinner here. The restaurant has a cozy feel with low lit lighting, great farm to table food, and wine selection. Don't forget about their dessert selections.

The food was amazing. Such a cute restaurant. We order a bunch of pastries to go after brunch. The breakfast flatbread and Lola Jean sandwich were great. We made a special trip from St. Peters just for the brunch.

We enjoyed a late lunch at Russell's. We were disappointed to find out that they've discontinued their stuffed croissants, which was one of their best menu items!
