We (as a family of 15) ate in The Russell Restaurant last night (11 May 2013) and had a SMASHING night. This was my first time to eat in this restaurant and didn’t really know what to expect. We were meeting there to celebrate a surprise 70th birthday. We had a table booked for 8pm and arrived at about 7:30pm... More

I was not impressed with the overall service and food at this restaurant. I have been to this restaurant many times before and the quality was quite good. On arriving at the restaurant we had to wait for our table even though it was booked. We were not offered anything to drink while waiting and had read the menu several... More

Tried the new menu. Food was probally the nicest I tasted in a long time. The new menu was fantastic. Only flaw it was pricey however I don't mind paying when the food is so good. On the night the restaurant was very busy which in these times it's great to see. We were seated upstairs! I would have prefered... More

It wouldn't be somewhere I'd go regularly because it's just the wrong side of expensive. The food is good, no denying. Steaks in particular. Service wasn't great. It's not the friendliest of places.

When you go to the Russell you like to make an effort and get dolled up! It has great food and highly recommend their chicken wings. I believe they have opened a new section which I haven't visted yet but looking forward to!

This was an enjoyable group dinner . The menu was varied ,however the maincourse was poorly delivered with steaks mixed up and thus people getting food that wasn't cooked to their liking because the orders were not presented in the rotation they were taken . People didn't bring this to the staff's attention or relish their meal .If you are... More

First we were seated up stairs where the noise was so dreadful we had to be moved! Then we were seated at the bottom of the stairs were people were constantly walking past! The service was a little manic but the food was ok! Actually, to be fair, the food was good. If your going, book seating down stairs or... More

I recently visited the Russell midweek with a group of friends and although the food was great the service was terrible. There were only 4 other diners in the restaurant at the time but it still took 15 minutes for us to be seated and we had to call the waitress to take our order. We had googled the menu... More
