Went on a Sunday night, was a bit skeptical when we first heard they were out of some menu items. However, it ended up to be a great experience and wonderful meal the scallops and pork chop were on point along with the escargot appetizer. Great staff. The lake was nice minus I-4 behind it and saw a river otter as a bonus.

Great food and nice ambiance with a view overlooking a lake. If I were to be honest, the atmosphere could be enhanced with some ambient music and better lighting in the dining area. There’s a mixture of lighting that doesn’t flow well. The flow of the restaurant is not as appealing either. Also, you can see the highway as you look at the view of the lake from the dining area. Sunsets are nice but you see cars whizzing past too. The food is really very good, but does have room for improvement when it comes to the amount of salt and oil used for the octopus, and pork belly – too much. The beet salad was really good, but did have too much sauce. And the service, OMG, that’s the one thing that REALLY needs to improve. We did not appreciate the wait time for the server to take our order or after we received our order. She did not ever come back to ask if we needed more drinks or even dessert afterwards. And then we had to walk up to the bar to get our check because we saw the bartender chatting it up with 2 of the servers for over 15mins without bothering to see if we needed anything. And we noticed other patrons at the restaurant having the same unpleasant experience. Other than this, may be worth it to get some other dishes that could be cooked right. Worth trying once at least. Who knows, you may get better service and food ♀️

We came here for our first wedding anniversary and it was simply lovely.
The staff are a major asset to the restaurant as our server was the sweetest. She made excellent recommendations for drinks and food and was so very accommodating with us despite the restaurant getting busy. I wish I could remember her name (blonde/petite) as she really is an asset to their team.
The food was fun, innovative and tasty, and the drinks were delicious.
You can feel the heart of the family run business when eating here. I highly recommend this place and we will definately return.
Thankyou

Russell’s on Lake Ivanhoe is a great spot with a beautiful location right on the water. The atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant – perfect for brunch, dinner, or drinks with friends. The service was outstanding and attentive, and the food and cocktails were delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re enjoying a meal with a view or catching up with good company, it’s one of those local spots that consistently delivers. Highly recommend for anyone in the Orlando area looking for a memorable experience.

Wow – what a gem. We had brunch, and were not expecting for this lake-side restaurant to be a little wonder. We started with cocktails and coffee because it was that type of morning. The coffee was rich….deep… delicious. When we sipped our first sip of the cocktails, we knew this spot cared about their craft. The bartender mixed the drinks to be strong but smooth; the way we like it. The food was delicious. The grilled chicken wrap was on point, and the huevos rancheros was too. We decided to get a dessert because we were so impressed with the food – the bread pudding did not disappoint. The service was elite – you don’t see many places anymore that provide the level of care of fine dining in a casual atmosphere. Obviously, the staff is well selected and trained. The whole experience led to an amazing brunch for my wife and me. We will definitely return.

The food was good, but not excellent in my opinion, especially for the prices we paid. Personally not impressed with the pork belly app- would have preferred it crispy. The spicy raspberry margarita was by far our favorite cocktail and the guys also enjoyed the pineapple old-fashioned. Just no one was blown away by their main entree or the apps we chose. Might try again in the future. Nice atmosphere and excellent service!! And the food did seem to fill us up.

Great food, perfect location on the water, the staff is courteous, professional and attentive. They have live music and complimentary valet.
We ordered the House Pineapple Old Fashion and the Peach Mimosa, both were so delicious.
We ate the Lobster Rolls with fries, Naked Burger with fries, Breakfast Club Sandwich with fries and the Crab & Avocado Toast with a side salad as our entres. The food was tasty, very delicious.
For dessert we tried their NY cheesecake and their house White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Russell’s Whiskey Sauce. That Russell’s sauce was amazing, we couldn’t get enough of it.
I will definitely be coming back to try more of their delicious entrees and to enjoy the views and atmosphere.
The restaurant is located next to a park where you can walk around and there is even a playground where the kids can have fun.

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary at a local restaurant that we hadn’t been to before. We decided to try Russell’s.
We loved it!
We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation so we could get a drink at the bar. We went on a Monday so the place was pretty quiet which worked out great for us.
The bartender greeted us and was very nice. We ordered two happy hour cocktails and the chef special happy hour app that he suggested. It happened to be bacon wrapped scallops this evening and they were amazing! The cocktails we decided on were the House Pineapple Old Fashioned and the Lavender Lemonade. They were both delicious and the presentation was great!
Before we got sat my wife ordered happy hour Sauvignon Blanc, which she paired with the appetizer and I did the Russell’s Sidecar. We enjoyed those selections as well. I unfortunately forgot to get a pick of the appetizer but it looked just as amazing as it tasted.
When we were sat we ordered the Table Side Caesar for Two. Our server was excellent and the salad we nice and crisp. We had a hard time deciding on the entrees because they all sounded amazing. After much thought my wife went with the lamb chops. They were good but not exactly what she was expecting. I was between the “Best Burger in Orlando” burger and the Crispy Chicken Kiev. The server talked me into the chicken and she was right! It may have been one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had. I also think that is why my wife ended up being a little disappointed by her lamb. She tried mine and her jaw literally dropped. Haha. We paired our dinner with a bottle of the Petite Sirah from Lodi. We love Petite Sirah and will drink anything from Lodi, California. It was “Old Vines” Rowdy Bush and we would highly recommend it.
We were stuffed so we declined dessert but we will be back! I recommend coming on a slow night and making the reservation around sunset so you can get a seat by the window.
Can’t recommend this place enough!

Went 11/20 to celebrate my daughters birthday. Arrived right at 10am due to people having to work. Server was great! Very attentive. Collectively we had the New England Lobster Rolls, Breakfast Club, Cinnamon Roll Waffle, & Lakeside Breakfast. And one special something like goat cheese on cranberry bread. Everything was delicious. Prices are reasonable but on the higher side. Beautiful setting in the lake.

We could not have selected a more perfect restaurant to celebrate our son on graduation day! Gorgeous atmosphere with impeccable service. They easily accommodated our large party. Our meals were beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. This historic location provided a stunning view of Lake Ivanhoe and downtown. Try the Charcuterie Board, Burrata Napoleon, Grilled Lamb Chops, and White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Everything was delicious! The chef is truly a culinary genius!
