Russell's is my favorite place to go for a great night! The food has never been a disappointment. The filet mignon is the best I've ever had and the staff is wonderful. Everyone is so kind and attentive and they check on you often. We always choose Russel's for a one night getaway. It's fun to order the cheese platters or chocolate strawberries to your room too! Free breakfast in the morning is a nice touch too!

What a wonderful way to celebrate. This place does food and service right. We are always extremely satisfied with our meals when we dine here. I personally love a good excuse to dress up so when we have the time, this is our go-to place. Steak and lobster here are out of this world melt in your mouth experience.. also, their cheesecake is worth the ounce on the hips!! We will always make time to come here because it is our little escape from the work /life hustle. You get what you pay for here. Yes, it may cost a bit, but I promise there will be no regrets. Definitely has class! Love it.

1st time experience at Russell's. It was amazing. The atmosphere is just CLASSY. Walking in you just see how much they care about quality. We checked in and went to the room to get ready. Standard hotel experience. My only issue with the room was the ironing board. I couldn't properly iron my clothes because the cloth wouldn't stay on. Was quite annoying. Went down to dinner and WOW is the best way to describe it. Russell is standing there, working on a Saturday, greeting and walking around making sure everything is moving smoothly. We sat at a cute side cut out in the wall. It was the right spot for our anniversary dinner. The food was spectacular. Stuffed peppers, soup, salad, and ribeye to finish off the main meal. Steak felt like it could have been seasoned more, it was like they just didn't hit it with salt. But honestly the quality of the steak was so good, I can easily just add salt myself and it would be fine. We ordered dessert to stay and eat and some to take back to the room. And wow. The coffee ice cream dessert (don't recall the name) was mind blowing. I had to ask the bus boy what coffee brand it was, and I then proceeded to see if I could order online. The cheesecake was great. Peanut butter pie later that night was just as good. Service was amazing, he knew just what we needed and made great suggestions. I recommend the dinner for 2 promotion if budget is an issue, but even if it's not, you can still get it and use the voucher toward the whole meal. It was a great night for our anniversary.

It was our first time going to Russell’s and we were blown away. The owner was there when we went and greeted everyone. Amazing food amazing service and great hospitality. It’s our official anniversary spot for sure.

The best Chilean sea bass I ever had and I reside in NYC so that speaks volume . Truly a great experience, if you only have one meal in Buffalo then this is the place. A real pleasure to meet and greet Russell upon arriving.

We have not been to Russell's in what seemed like 10 years. We were greeted by Russell himself on our visit. We were there celebrating a birthday party. They were able to accommodate all nine of us on one large table. It wasn't too loud and we were able to carry on a conversation without issue. All of the servers, bussers, host / hostesses were all genuinely great. Very efficient. the food was delicious, the wine selection was nice and the deserts were amazing. I'm glad we got back and will return quicker this time. They do have some specials which are reasonable for what you get (i.e.: 6 oz filet). If you are looking for a classy, delicious meal with great service, Russell's does not disappoint. You are paying for what you get, but it was worth it for us.

Went to dinner with my lovely wife for our 14 year wedding anniversary. Food was great! 🥩🥔🫛 Very professional staff as is expected at Russel's. And yes, Russel (the man himself) was there to greet us for our dinner reservation and was still greeting guests when we left... He is a machine. Literally.
