I would recommend this place to anybody who needs to be gluten free as they have a completely dedicated gluten-free kitchen. If you want authentic, this place has it and it is really good with lots of different choices. The bathrooms are large and accessible, the bar has a beautiful atmosphere and plenty of seating. They have plenty of seating, staff are very attentive. I never ran out of water, or ice for my other drinks, they are also very knowledgeable about their menu and if you tell them what your specific diet is, what might be the most go-to option or which ones to avoid. I have not sat down in a restaurant and had that great of service in a long time and so it was refreshing. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well if it's a nice day, If you go to St. Louis, this is a must-go-to spot.
Russell's is one of the perfect spots if you wish to celebrate a romantic occasion. They have the right kind of music, dim lights, and quick service. We were here for pickup else I'd definitely have had stayed back to enjoy one or two of their delicious sounding entrees.
We picked the original cheesecake with raspberry topping. It was dense, flavorful, but felt kinda heavy on the stomach. I expected the cream cheese to simply melt in my mouth. Nonetheless, the cake slice was moist, fresh, and big enough for two people to split.
We also got their chocolate torte and it was delish. It's gluten free given that there is no flour used so the flavors really shine. Deep in richness, slightly fruity in flavor, (blueberries and blackberry toppings too) a mouth-coating bitterness that's not overtly bitter and very pleasant in taste makes the cake decadent to say the least.
Last one was the gooey butter cake for the family and needless to say it was a hit. It was gourmet in every sense. Chewy and dense and so very smooth. It's crazy that it is a St Louis special and very few bakeries have achieved the taste that makes you go mmm. The base wasn't too crusty and made the cake extremely buttery which is what we'd expect from a MasterChef. Simply superb!
Will definitely be visiting to try out more of their main course dishes and other desserts.
Stopped in for a late lunch. I have strange dietary needs, asked a bunch of questions they had no problem answering. totally willing to work with my needs.
