Review of The Russell House Tavern

We wanted to like this place. It would be so easy ...

We wanted to like this place. It would be so easy to go back. But the lumpy undercooked pasta and disorganized service that resulted in dried out and forgotten dishes made sure we're never returning. Lots of other places to go to.. don't try your luck here.

We went at a pretty quiet time with a lot of staff around and everything was rather disorganized. Our server forgot one of our two orders so I got a plate but my SO didn't. They took my plate back and 15 minutes later came returned with both plates. Sadly, they didn't recook my dish, it just sat there in a kitchen under a heat lamp for a while. I had poorly cooked dried out pasta with some mediocre cheese and decent sauce. The pasta also had a lot of clumps in it that didn't quite cook through.
