The food was good, but it was over packed. It could have been great! Our server was not good at all. He was very inattentive, and short with us. I had to wait on my drink for 15-20 minutes and when I got it, it was watered down. He did not pre bus and did not give us a dessert menu. Altogether, I would give it 2 stars. I feel like it could have been so much better.

The host staff were very unfriendly. They were unkind when we came in the door and our entire party had not arrived. We asked for a table for 5 and the table needed to be rearranged and it felt like they had to move a mountain. Not impressed. Not welcoming and unfriendly.

Had a great anniversary date night! The steak was prepared perfectly, and the Brussel sprouts were amazing. I was disappointed with the burrata salad (very small piece of burrata) and the creamed spinach (it was like the sautéed the spinach and just poured heavy cream on top). Service was great and our seat next to the window was so picturesque. Would go back if we visit Vail again.

I have been going to Russell’s for over 15 years. It is unlikely that I will return. Over the last three years the food quality has deteriorated. The streaks aren’t anything better than ones prepare at home now. The food was fine, that’s not the reason for my poor rating. The service by the waiter was unlike anything I have ever had, anywhere. I grew up in the business and have been a waiter at fine dining establishments for many years so I speak from experience. This waiter was condescending, spoke down to guests, delivered the wrong steak to one of the guests in my party and then argued with me about it. You’re serving steaks, know the difference between a New York Strip and a Ribeye and don’t argue about it man. And then this waiter assigned a gratuity to the bill due to my infant son being the fifth person at the table, presumably because he thought so highly of himself that he deserved or could command such a gratuity. The manager was terrific, she dealt with the steak issue and the gratuity issue. And she got a cash tip on my way out due to her attention and help is keeping her waiter in check.

First time at Russell’s. Friendly staff all around. Had Tuna App and bread - both excellent. Son had NY STRIP med rare - perfect flavoring and temp. I had Bone In Rib eye Med - and was fantastic. Exceeded expectations and the scallop potatoes side were so good. Server “Orianna” was very pleasant and complimented the night. Tables around us all very friendly and enjoyed their time too. Would 100% come back next time in Vail.

We always visit Russell's when visiting Vail. They have delicious food served by first rate waitstaff. This time, we feasted on steak Diane which is a filet served with a brandy cream sauce and the blackened salmon, both were perfectly seasoned and seared. The best was yet come as we enjoyed the caramel apple tart for dessert.

Russells never disappoints. While, I miss their two-for-one, king crab legs, special, it didn’t stop me from ordering it and enjoying it immensely. Our whole party had a variety of meals from pork to steak to fish, and was appreciated by all. Our water glasses were never empty. The bread was delicious- and as it was all you can eat, well worth the $4.

Many of the items that we usually get have been removed from the menu, including chicken & shrimp cocktail. We were definitely not excited about the changes and limited items. The quality of the food was not the same as it has been in the past.
