Third time to this family run establishment with dear old Dad. I had steak last two times, this time chicken strips in white wine sauce. Likes: Dad contends steak at $26 is a good value versus some other local places $40. Very nice staff and servers. Greet regulars by name and go out of the way to make it a... More

I am a regular Russell's diner and everything is always perfect. Risotto is outstanding, veal osso bucco is on special every 2 weeks or so and it is AMAZING, even better than the famed Il Vagabando in NYC. Steak Au Poivre is the best I've had.

The prices are high and pasta dishes don't even include a salad. Our waitress was terrible, I even had to go up to the waitress counter to finally pay our bill after waiting... More

Best restaurant in the area. The food is excellant. The atmosphere not so great. I live in Las Vegas. I have dined in some of the finest restaurants. Russell's food rates up there with the best. I recommend ordering the specials. This is what they do best. More

Russell’s carries on the legacy of a better known former restaurant called Preno’s which dated back closer to the city’s heyday. Everything about it says legacy from the menu of old-world Italian favorites (fill in the blank parmesan) to the aging structure buried in a forgotten corner of a residential neighborhood. The night we were there the staff was overwhelmed... More
