To be honest I wasn’t expecting much. As a visitor from overseas, I would have preferred to have gone into the CBD for a quality dining experience, didn’t think there would be much to rave about in Bothell outside of burgers. The in-law’s recommended Russell’s strongly so we thought we would give it a go, me a little grudgingly.And we are glad we did.Service was fantastic and friendly right from the drinks at the bar first (thanksJorge) to the table attention.The food was the star however, everything that was ordered was amazing. The mussels in smoked salmon cream, signature scallops, filet mignon, prime rib…and for me, the Lamb rack which was possibly some of the best Lamb I have ever had (that’s saying something from a Kiwi) . All were brilliantly executed.Desserts also kept up the standard, Creme Brulee, for $9, would have paid double! (But don’t tell the restaurant.)The wine selection was great also. Would like to have seen more international wine’s but probably just because I understand them better than the local WA wines.The decor is beautiful, the old converted barn couldn’thave looked better.We stayed late, last to leave, staff didn’t complain or chase us out. Thanks for that as we were having a fun reunion with old friends so did not want to end the evening.So highly recommended. Try it for yourself.
Food was bland needed some serious seasoning risotto was complete mush veggies were underwhelming scallops were bland. Service was fast and polite but the kicker?? The mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. We won’t be back for $40 a plate? No thanks
I dream about this food!!! Let me sum it up this way. You know how when dished usually come with a side of vegetables and you maybe eat one or two because you know you should, but they’re really just on the plate to take up space? Well at Russels the vegetables were so perfectly cooked I happily ate them all! I had the scallops and my boyfriend had the porkchop. Both were exquisitly prepared! The staff was friendly and the food came out quite quickly. We wanted an hour for a table (our fault for not making reservations on a Friday night), but the bar staff was AMAZING and kept us happy until we could be seated. And I would happily wait the hour again!
I work nearby and Russell’s is the closest restaurant to me for a quick lunch. The problem is though that lunch is seldom ‘quick’ – the kitchen seems to back up easily and you don’t get a lot of food for the price. The staff are always friendly and the food is fresh but because of the aforementioned frequent slowness and cost, I find myself wishing I’d gone elsewhere as I wait for my food.
Scallops. Russell’s is one of my guilty pleasures. Happy hour and nosh. The scallops are sweet n buttery.
The food is excellent! the building is interesting – just among corporate buildings and the building doors are like walking into an office. they appear to be doing the best they can in terms of ambiance with what they’ve got but in any case, with food this good who cares. our entrees didnt come out piping hot – cons of sitting at the bar I think – but the food was still phenomenal so I can only imagine it’s only better hot. 🙂 everyone was recommending the scallops so it was a must do – and it absolutely did not disappoint. i wish it was socially acceptable to lick the plates clean. i had the duck as well and could not stop talking about it all night. i’ll definitely be going back!
