                                  First time here will definitely be returning. Perfect place for a date night or meet up with friends. The wife and I had a lovely date night dinner here. The restaurant has a cozy feel with low lit lighting, great farm to table food, and wine selection. Don't forget about their dessert selections.

                                  Russell is always delicious. They have great weekend brunch specials. We were able to sit outside in the weather was lovely.  I got the smelly sticky pig and it was delicious

                                  The food was amazing. Such a cute restaurant. We order a bunch of pastries to go after brunch. The breakfast flatbread and Lola Jean sandwich were great. We made a special trip from St. Peters just for the brunch.

                                  We enjoyed a late lunch at Russell's. We were disappointed to find out that they've discontinued their stuffed croissants, which was one of their best menu items!

                                  We were able to sit on the porch and enjoy the day. The food came out piping hot and wonderful.
