My only complaint is that the restaurant was way too warm; it was an unusually warm fall day, I'm sure that's why. The food was excellent from beginning to start, the wine pairings were perfect for each course. The service was excellent with knowledgeable info shared about the food and each beverage pairing.

Service was very good. Truffle potato skins were unique and delicious! Chicken nachos were a very large portion with real cheese and great, salmon and mini burgers were all delicious too. The portions were enough for 2 people. It got noisy after 7:00 pm but was okay because we almost done eating. We would go back

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.

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.

We loved Buttermilk and Bourbon! The food was excellent, the drinks delicious and creative, and the service also excellent. The value for what we had was very good, comparable to other upscale restaurants, if not less expensive than I had anticipated. We will return for brunch again in the near future. Thank you for a great experience.
