We were back here after a year, to celebrate our wedding anniversary last night and had such a wonderful time. The menu was one of the most seasonally appropo meals we’ve had in a while. Every dish was beautiful, of course but the flavors were clean and unexpected in the most delightful way. We especially loved how nut-forward this particular menu was. And the customer service, as always, was impeccable. The staff were warm, welcoming and made our celebration so special.

Friendly staff. Great food. Fair pricing. Unique and inviting ambience. What else do you need? Go try it out before your next show in the theatre district or just for a tasty meal.

The restaurant is conveniently located near the financial district. The cocktails were creative and delicious. We got the chicken and the Mac and cheese. Both were ridiculously good. Our waitress was very nice and prompt. Loved this place, and would def go again.

Went for my mother’s birthday and had an amazing time. Drinks were great and flowing, our waitress was top notch, she was on top of everything and understood every needs. Without asking she offered to have the band sing happy birthday. I was so tipsy I don’t remember her name but she had blonde hair, definitely request her.

We enjoyed Russel House. We sat in the outdoor heated area and it was just perfect. We enjoyed the cocktails and the food. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was excellent as well as the hake, salmon and pappardelle. The service was wonderful. Great location near Harvard. We would go back.
