    The presentation and quality of the food & drinks were excellent, but what really made our experience even that much better was our waiter, Chris. Chris went above and beyond to make our dinner that much better and for that we are grateful. We agreed that Russell’s was worth the roughly four hour drive from home, and when we are back, we will be making sure to have Chris as our server.

    Must have been an off night! My wife and I split a Porterhouse steak that was cooked as ordered but just wasn’t very good. The mashed potatoes were blah as well. The Brussel sprouts ordered as a side were e extremely salty with the bacon that was with them. Ordered a Manhattan , perfect , with a large cube and was charged an extra $5 for being perfect per our waitress. Never heard of that before. Even my wife who is the one who loves going there declared she needs to find a new steakhouse to go to!

    The food is consistently high quality at Russell’s. However, the service that Russell’s has been famously known for was shockingly poor during this experience. First, we did not receive menus or wine lists for 10 minutes after bring seated for dinner. We were finally greeted by our waiter who asked us what we wanted to drink prior to giving us a wine list. M The appetizer was served at the same time. Actually about 1 minute AFTER as our salads ( unacceptable in a fine dining steakhouse), other tables were offered fresh ground pepper with salads and our table was not, our coffee mugs were served with lipstick from previous guests, and we had to wait approximately 20 minutes at the conclusion of the dinner to finally get our bill. There were huge delays between courses. Most diners who were seated after us finished their meals 20-30 minutes prior to us. We did not have unusual orders that would cause significant delays. The waiter barely checked on our table. S Unfortunately, poor service ruined the fine dining experience my family had hoped for my wife’s birthday. We hope this review leads to improvement for this great Buffalo area dining institution.

    Had a very good meal, the service was prompt and hospitable and we enjoyed an evening out together for our 60th wedding anniversary.

    I haven’t been to Russell’s since 2020 and it is not the same as it was then. The food was just ok - nothing spectacular. The service was terrible. Our drink order took about 15-20 minutes, only to find out they didn’t have the whiskey that was requested. I then had to wait another 15 minutes for my diet coke to arrive. We waited a ridiculous amount of time between courses and another 20 minutes for the check after we asked for it. It was a very disappointing birthday celebration. One member of my party had to leave as it took so long and he had to work early in the AM?

    Russell met us and then started saying ignorant things about our years of marriage. It was our 43 year anniversary and he said I would drive a car that long…he was trying to be funny but he wasn’t.

    My wife and I booked a reservation for our anniversary and requested a booth. Staff were all very pleasant, accommodated our request, and were enthusiastic about our special occasion. The dining room was warm and welcoming with a cozy yet energetic atmosphere. Staff anticipate your every need, filling water when the glass is less than full, bringing bread, cleaning off crumbs or old dishes, and checking in frequently to assure your needs are being met. I ordered the Filet Neptune and my wife the Filet Oscar. Both were stellar dishes that came with Yukon mashed potatoes and carrot spears. Both steaks were topped with a Béarnaise sauce with asparagus. The steaks were out of this world and cooked to perfection. The sauce and asparagus enhanced them in a way I did not think was possible. Only critique for both my wife and myself was that the carrot spears were more undercooked than not. Still good with the glaze on them, just on the harder side. A very wonderful restaurant that clearly caters to the needs of diners.

    We are regulars and we have noticed a decline in service here. Our waiter was good... However the 2 bartenders were awful. It wasn't busy at the bar. They had 3 couples that were eating and they focused solely on them. I get it.. that's where the larger tip comes but we were absolutely ignored at the bar. We had open seats on both sides of us but still took much too long to be asked for a drink. Really disappointing when it's $35 for 2 drinks. Dinner was fine. Our waiter was nice and attentive. We gave him over a 25% tip but oddly as we were leaving and walked past the waiter and his helper no "thanks for coming" etc. I get that at Applebee's .... Prices seems to keep going up here and honestly there are better options in wny in terms of value for service. Spending over $350 for a dinner for two we should be absolutely wowed with service all around and we just weren't.
