Russell & Bettes - RUMSON

For a restaurant that just opened a little less than a year ago the meal I had here with my parents was fantastic.

If I were reviewing for myself alone, I'd give an extra star or two, but my husband's steak was just awful: tough, stringy, grizzly - and it was the filet!

Sadly empty on WednesdaySad because the food was quite goodI had the scallops and my fellow diner the fish of the dayBoth excellent.

Sat at the bar and Robert was taking care of us. He made amazing drinks for us. You MUST try one of his specials. The food was served quickly and was cooked perfectly. I will be back!

The service and ambiance here was excellent. The menu was very well rounded. We got filet mignon and Royal Red Shrimp to share with salads, sauteed garlic mushrooms and baked potato. There were baskets of a variety of breads and two kinds of butter. Truffles were provided at the end of the meal. It was a beautiful dining experience!
