Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe

This is a must see restaurant. Top quality and variety menu, service, food, atmosphere.

Our guests went to Orlando for a men’s basketball game. Russell’s was highly recommended. We had a large group who changed final count numerous times. Each time the owner (Zoe) was extremely responsive and helpful. She made sure that we were well taken care of way before flying to Orlando. She even took the time to make custom menu’s for our guests! The food was unbelievable. This was by far the best food we had on any trip we’ve taken this year. We will definitely be back every time we come to Orlando!

This was our first time Russell's on the Lake Ivanhoe, and it was great! We had a nice dinner, and the drinks were great. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. If you are in Orlando, it is a nice location for a romantic dinner.

My best friend was in town and decided to go to brunch and pick this place last minute. Love the ambiance of the place and the view is amazing. The service is really good and the food is delicious. Would definitely come back for the drinks because they’re top tier. Definitely recommend

Great dinner.

Great dinner.

Delicious! Parking: Free Valet

We came here after a low key courthouse elopement to celebrate with our families. I had been emailing with Zoe, the food and Bev manager and she was very responsive and accommodating. She made planning a breeze. Everyone was so impressed with dinner and they loved their food. I cannot emphasise how much their time and communication with us leading up to the event was valued. Sometimes with the allergies in our party, it’s tough to find somewhere that is able to accommodate and I really appreciated the staffs’ attention to detail and their knowledge about the menu. They were able to accommodate gluten free and low fodmap diets. Also literally everything we ordered was delicious. I also loved how one of the staff brought us out a little extra bowl of caper berries to try after my father in law insisted that everyone at the table try one from the charcuterie platter. The view was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and I’m so glad we chose Russell’s to celebrate our special night with our family. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Was so hyped up to visit this place, and was left feeling kind of so-so. The reason I primarily wasn’t happy was the service. My server waited a long time to even greet me and then when he did, I asked him a question about a drink he never brought it back then when he finally came back like 10 minutes later, I said, where is the drink and he said oh I thought you were just asking me about it…What???? Anyway, his service continues to be slow and he was not attentive during the night. It was Valentine’s Day so the restaurant was packed but before it got packed, he still wasn’t paying me any attention. My friend loved the grill octopus. I thought it was OK. I had the pork chop. I did enjoy that. I also enjoyed the espresso martinis. They had a charcuterie board. It was pretty decent, but I’ve had better. All in all we spent almost $300 and I just thought I would’ve walked away feeling much more satisfied and yet there was nothing that I was like I have to come back here again to try. Parking: Loved the free valet bc no parking downtown Kid-friendliness: This isn’t somewhere I’d take small kids
