Known as chef to the winemakers, Chef Russell Lowell is a hands on chef. Cutting all our proteins in house during the day and working the grill at night. He creates a menu that considers seasonality and wine pairings. We are a local favorite in the Bothell area. Located in a historic hay barn, we are the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or a date night away from the kids.

    I can’t find a single thing to talk about that isn’t top notch about Russell’s. This is our “go-to” place for special occasions, this time my wife’s birthday with our son, his wife, and two munchkins aged 9 and 11. Food was superb, with our entrees including a big ribeye, a filet mignon, duck rivals, and chicken. For the young ones, they made a simple Alfredo over noodles. Everything was as good as it can be. The food was great, drinks were well crafted, and service was friendly, attentive, and professional. They didn’t hover, but were always there. Russell’s will continue to be our first choice for special occasions.

    While pushing the total cost just for two even more so, fantastic food and service yet once again.

    Let me start by saying I love this restaurant. We opted to spend our Christmas Eve there and it was less than ideal. I understand that there are folks working on an evening that they would rather be home with family and friends so I am going to cut them some slack. Food was good as always but service was not up to par. Drinks came late and not as requested. Service was slow and not as precise as usual. That being said I will still come back as we have many good memories of several family events.

    Disappointed in the wine list. Previously, they had several WA wines but now scarce. They were out of the wine we ordered the first time. No worries, It happens. But they were also out of our second choice. They did recommend a wine they did have and it was good. But The disappointment wasn’t over. My husband and I both ordered the Filet’s, cooked medium. They were medium rare, so we had to send it back. They made it right and it didn’t take long, but after spending over $300 for two, thought maybe they would offer to comp our salads or a free dessert, but neither. we will not be back.

    We always enjoy our meals at Russell's. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly and professional. This time though, we had a special treat. Russel himself came out to talk with customers and he sat at our table for a few minutes telling us about how the restaurant came to be.

    As always, the food was phenomenal, the service (Dan and Cayden) were attentive, personable, and outright wonderful. Our ONLY issue was that there was an event going on upstairs that was so loud and obnoxious that I couldn't hear my own wife talking right next to me. The staff did what they could, but, as it was explained to us, given the separation between the two components (events and restaurant), the restaurant staff doesn't have any actual control over the events. If you're making a reservation, it is worth calling to ensure that they don't have an event going on upstairs at the same time.
