   I like the view at Russels. I love the beet snd buratta appetizer. It’s so good. We both had the chicken Kiev. It was very good but I’ve had better. I wish they offered a different potato besides mashed or fries. Service was attentive. I’d go back.

   The food at this restaurant was delicious (2 people in my party had the CRISPY CHICKEN KIEV and the other had BLACKENED WILD SALMON) The service we received from Danielle and Brandon was impeccable. The restaurant is on Lake Ivanhoe and has beautiful scenery. This place is a hidden gem in Winter Park. I would strongly recommend it.

   Saturday night party of 3. Staff was amazing, but only one bar tender… Good burgers, but my $49 Ribeye was terrible quality and must have been frozen. Tasted good, but was full of tough chewy connective tissue. I had to spit out about five bite fulls. This restaurant has so much potential but was disappointed on my first visit.

    Brandon, our waiter, was wonderful.....not too intrusive, checked regularly, personable, did a nice demo of making our Cesar salad, and introducing us to wine down Wednesday. Had requested a table near window for birthday celebration and was obliged. Pretty view as sun went down.

    Good overall, server and maitre’ d very attentive. A little bit short staffed. Enjoyed the Wednesday 1/2 off full bottle of wine from their entire list. Food was good, confit of duck was good, I prefer duck l’orange. Table side Caesar salad was a bit light on the condiments, chopped head lettuce instead of Napa.

    The way the place looks from the outside is promising, though when you get inside its dissapointing: old and the view sucks. So theres a complimentary valet, they took my keys, parked the car and left my car keys in some elses car which drove away. Not that theres something I could not stand but they didnt even offer free lunch or anything... The service was terrible: super slow, we had to wait for our waiter forever. The food was not good at all: the duck confit was overcooked, the duck gets really herd and untender when its overcooked, my daughters waffles were burned, she didnt even eat the. The server told us he would not charge for that but then he did. WE asked to split the check accordingly but he just split it into 2 the way he decided. WE were waiting to get the check forever. I have never in my life left zero tips, that was my first and hopefully last time doing that. WORST brunch experience I had in Orlando

    Nice to see this venue have a new restaurant and concept as we enjoy the location immensely. The food was solid, well seasoned and came out beautifully from the kitchen. There is something for everyone on the menu, which is great when you have a large group. The meat choices that we ordered were cooked to temperature and more than enough in size. There was something off about the service, food was served by runners, which is appropriate for a Saturday, but it seemed we waited a long time for drinks and the bills. The restaurant had three hostesses, who seemed to congregate and the hostess station, even when the dining room was full. I think the front of the house needs more help in order to make service more smooth - and reflect the fine dining prices. Other than that it was great!

    Restaurant has good ambiance but the food is lacking flavor. The tables at the end of the restaurant facing the water were so loud that we couldn’t hear each other. The acoustics are horrible. You can hear every single conversation without moving close to them. There was a musician playing and can’t be heard because it is not connected to their speakers system and the conversations were louder than him. Good place with a lot of potential. We went for lunch, can’t imagine how loud it is during the night.

    I took my friend to Russell’s for a birthday brunch and had a great experience there. The staff and management were attentive to our table, and we had mentioned it was for a birthday event. The owner came by to wish her a Happy Birthday and suggested their famous white chocolate bread pudding, which was heavenly, along with a celebratory Kir Royale cocktail, that was exactly what was needed to make our celebration brunch awesome! Along with the entertaining music, delicious food, and dessert by their amazing chefs, it rounded out the Birthday experience I had anticipated for my friend. We will return and definitely recommend Russell’s, that also has a fantastic view on the lake, to all our friends and family!

    Easter brunch with daughter and son-in-law. We were seated within minutes of our arrival. Friendly and professional staff. Menu was appealing and suited us all. Food was fresh and well prepared: omelet with salad, naked burger with fries, regular burger with fries, and breakfast club with fries. We all cleaned our plates. We did not order from the bar, but it was very popular. The bartender seemed to be enjoying doing his thing. There was a singer/guitarist who sang and strummed with enthusiasm, but we could hardly hear him because of all the lively conversations. We will definitely return.

    Food and drink (bottomless mimosas and sangria and yes you can switch between the two! :) ) were deliciousness. Servers were all really friendly and attentive even though it was a very busy Easter Sunday. Awesome live music and they take requests, I asked for and got a very lovely rendition of Fast Car. New favorite brunch spot! And it's right on the lake so it's very pretty outside.

    Russell’s was SO amazing! I went with my mom and there wasn’t one thing we tried that wasn’t on point. Definitely grab an espresso martini - whoever made them knows what they’re doing and it was possibly the best martini I’ve ever had. Our server, Anastasia was so sweet and attentive. Very knowledgeable about the menu as well when we asked. This is a definite must-try in orlando and I will for sure be back whenever I can! There’s complimentary valet which made parking a breeze, so make sure you bring some cash!

    There were a few large tables that made the resturant pretty noisey. Our waitress was very strange. They didn’t ring our food in right so it took longer to get. The pork belly was too thin and lost a lot of flavor. Didn’t love the ambiance

    Enjoyed our dinner with friends at Russell’s. The highlight of our dinner was the Caesar’s salad (table side). Our entrees were good but not extraordinary and the portion size were on the smaller end. We ordered the braised rabbit, lamb chops , pork chop and burger. The ambiance and location of the restaurant are great.

    Best view in Orlando on Lake Ivanhoe, lots of boats and water sports to keep us amused. We were seated right at the lake's edge picture windows. Great guitarist entertaining in the background. Four of us with delicious meals - tender duck, New England style tasty lobster rolls, generous chicken wraps, and a full egg/bacon/potato breakfast. Really appreciate the menu variety for brunch. And the bottomless Mimosas are a special joy! It was a wonderful way to kick off our Orlando weekend! Thank you waiter Dillon for leading our service team, never an empty glass or a minute wasted. Top ratings for Russell's food, service, and ambience.
