Russell's Restaurant Review

At this Holiday Season we finally took the time to visit Russell's in Bothell, WA, which had been recommended by our daughter (in-law). Well, Christmas came early for us because this restaurant in a rather obscure office park setting in a renovating barn produced an extraordinary and rather unique dining experience! The chef is Russell Lowell www.russelllowell.com and whomever was managing the kitchen is just kicking out amazing results.  We started with the Harvest Salad and moved onto Sea Scallops and Rack of Lamb for our entrees and they were over the top good. Best Rack I have had in recent memory :) As you all know Scallops have to be seared fast and never over-cooked and these were just right on the mark. Also important, they have a great wine selection that is not marked up above what full retail would be so that is an added bonus: we had the Stag's Leap 2009 Fay Cabernet and that paired just right with our selections.They have an extensive menu and special features so we plan to return soon and further update this review. To your health and to your enjoyment, this is RJKirk, Enjoy!
