    I don't remember the name of the dish but it was an Italian dumpling with butternut squash, Brussel sprouts, walnuts and finished w a balsamic glaze. Honestly, phenomenal. I was impressed with the quality, taste, presentation, everything! Well done!

    Ordered a cinnamon roll and it was hard as a rock, it wasn’t gooey or soft like you expected. The side order of bacon was hard too, like I could chip a tooth on it. Both seemed as if they had been sitting out for days. I ordered a Dr. Pepper and it was flat. The mimosa was expensive for what it was, nothing exciting. We had a great experience the first time, our second was ok. We are willing come back again for a third…

    Wonderful and delicious dishes. The four us enjoyed our entrees of Meatloaf, PotRoast and Flat bread pizza. The desserts are a hard choice but we decided on Chocolate chip Gooey Butter and Carrot Cake, delicious! The service and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Will return soon.

    I went with a friend. We sat on the patio outdoors. The weather was chilly (55 F), but they had a variety of heaters, and each seat had a blanket for whoever wanted it, which made it very pleasant. There is also indoor seating, but frankly I preferred the outdoor seating because it is quieter (there wasn’t any music, but it is not a huge room so there was more noise from other tables conversations. We got the biscuits for an appetizer, which were very good; they were very soft and virtually melted in your mouth. Additionally, the cocktails were delicious; I got the Rise & Grind (their version of an espresso martini), and my friend got the Cold Brew (a rum-based coffee cocktail). For food, I got the daily quiche, which was pretty good. The crust and egg that formed the edge of the slice was thicker than I’d like, but it tasted good. My friend got a bacon sandwich with blue cheese (I don’t remember their name for it). It was an exotic combination of flavors, but still quite good. I’m not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I thought it could be better; but the cheese wasn’t overpowering, and I still thought it was good. For people that like blue cheese, I imagine it would’ve been delicious.

    I’m made a breakfast reservation while my mom was visiting in town and oh boy was I glad that I did! The place was hopping! The food and drinks were incredible and the staff was friendly. I always recommend Russell’s to visitors from out of town. I can’t wait to make a dinner reservation with my boyfriend in the near future!

    Always a good meal at RoM! We were upstairs with two other couples. Had a wonderful server who took great care of us. Appetizer brochette was good, salads are always steady and main courses were enjoyed by all. We always bring our own wine, because their selection is very limited. Shared deserts of carrot cake and flourless pie were both excellent. Sometimes its very good, other times, great and occasionally its awesome, but its never bad at RoM!

    Fabulous dinner…Patio was cozy. Nice touch with the blankets on the chairs and the patio heaters. The Brussels sprouts, apple and goat cheese on sourdough was to die for! Snapper special was delicious. And, leave room for dessert. Can’t go wrong with the signature chocolate cake. Service was wonderful. We will be back.

    There were four of us, and two of us liked what we had, which was the pot roast and pork tenderloin. The other two were disappointed in the meatloaf because of the sauce. The server was excellent however.

    We were blown away! If this place existed in our town (Southern California), we'd have a standing reservation for brunch every week! As foodies with serious industry chops, we can say that this place is firing on all cylinders. The breakfast burrito was the best we've ever had (out of hundreds), and Lola Jean's egg sandwich was phenomenal. Pro tip: Don't skimp on the bakery case contents.

    Another terrific dinner at Russell's. The appetizer specials were especially outstanding. We had two that incorporated Union Loafers breads. One had crispy brussels sprouts, feta, and nuts, the other featured blistered tomatoes on bruschetta. My wife enjoyed the butternut squash salad and I had the roasted chicken. The entry portions were enormous. The food we brought home will be plenty for dinner tonight. The wait staff is very helpful on explaining the various menu choices and making recommendations.
