best food in bothell, period.. i can't tell you how happy i was to stumble upon russell's in bothell. i used to have to drive to bellevue to find any fine dining establishments.
i haven't had a bad meal at russell's and i think i know why, you can really tell that russell uses the freshest and best ingredients possible. my favorite appetizer by far is the beef carpaccio. perfectly seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon, parmesan, capers, salt, pepper and incredibly tender flavorful beef. the sautéed prawns are also a favorite. for an entree the new bedford seared scallops with beurre blanc and wild mushroom risotto is an excellent choice. the scallops just melt in your mouth and the risotto is perfectly cooked.
the staff at russell's is very attentive and friendly and russell is there every night to make sure your diningexperienceis a good one. check russell's out, you won't be sorry!
