Went to Russo's with another couple for dinner on Saturday night 10/18. Had a 7:30 reservation and actually got seated when we arrived at 7:15. We have been many times before and always had a great meal. I love that they have a special menu each night although it's tough for a repeat of a favorite dish.
Our waitress informed us that they were on their last soft shell crab for a dish on their special nightly menu and asked if we wanted that dish. It sounded good so I agreed to that. It seems though that they should order enough of the items to not run out on a busy weekend. It seemed to be the theme of the evening though. I love Russo's food but quite a few of my favorites were already out of for the evening. Hello chicken liver appetizer....ran out on a Saturday night? Really!?!?!
Also on the downside is the dining room noise level. Very loud and hard to hear the conversation at our own table. Also I really object to the tv's with football games at what I consider a higher end restaurant. Sort of cheapens the experience that I paid $150.00 for two people. Bottom line 2 out of five stars in my book based on atmosphere and lack of choices of fave foods.
