The Room

Brick, light, and character included

The stepped brick facade of The Russo on State Street, with J. Russo and 1914 lettered on green panels above the storefront windows.

The open room at The Russo in daylight — a long exposed-brick wall, tall storefront windows, wooden tables and chairs, and industrial pendant lights on the high ceiling.

The empty room in morning light — exposed brick, tall windows, wood tables and chairs, pendant lights hanging from the high ceiling.

Inside The Russo looking toward the wooden service bar at the back, with vintage tables and chairs, exposed brick, and warm pendant lighting.

Food & Hospitality

Part of the celebration, handled beautifully

From the food on the table to the people serving it, The Southern Spread can make hospitality part of the experience at The Russo.

A grazing display by The Southern Spread on gold satin against a brick wall — tiered bowls of grapes and strawberries, a fresh vegetable platter, crackers, chips, and white hydrangea arrangements.

A catering buffet line of chafing dishes filled with roasted meats, rice, and vegetables, ready to serve.

Plated dinners of sliced pork loin topped with glazed peaches, roasted baby potatoes, and parmesan green beans.

A fruit and cheese display — a platter of fresh strawberries and pineapple with grapes, orange slices, and cubed cheddar.

An elegant place setting on dark linen — a gold-rimmed charger and plate with appetizers and an iced glass of water.
