I had the pleasure of sharing a meal with the family 12/6/2024. The food was quite delicious. The staff were Wonderful and very accommodating. My lil story is a love collard greens and am always “judgy” about collard greens. Part of my judgyness is stem or no stem. My personal opinion is, if they are cooked properly then Most definitely! And these were cooked to perfection! Taste/flavor, Awesome. The oyster mushroom sliders……You just have to go and taste for yourself. Outstanding! 100% they will be seeing me and mine again. Thanks cousin Curtis, your choice on point.

P.S. Banana Pudding waffle…BABEEEEEEEE….Just go!!!

Each time I go, I am pleased with the food and service. Our party ordered the short ribs, chicken etouffee, sea bass and seafood chowder. For sides, people had greens, cabbage. Sweet potatoe fries and mac and cheese. Everyone one was pleased with their food. Service is always friendly.

I love Willows and Pine. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service is excellent. The food tastes so good. I have to say the bread pudding is my absolute favorite,🤩 so when you go and you finish your meal, you have to try the bread pudding. It’s delicious 😋.

I absolutely adore Willows & Pine. Food was amazing and delicious. We ordered the oxtail grits, shrimp and grits, sausage, eggs (wasn't my fav) and Carmel Apple French toast. The chef was really nice including the servers. Nice ambiance, great place for large & small parties.

I had shrimp and grits, plus I shared a biscuit with a delicious sauce with peaches. It was amazing. The atmosphere was so soothing great music. An enjoyable afternoon spent! Can't wait to return to taste other selections. The staff was friendly and helpful.

This is my second time eating at Willows and Pine. My first meal was fabulous. I had the Chilean Sea Bass.

This time around I came back with my family. My mom had the four course prix fix brunch. I had the peach cobbler French toast, sweet grits, and smothered potatoes. My sister had the banana pudding waffle and links. I tasted a little of everyone's meal and I was not disappointed.

The staff is friendly, the food came fast, and it was delicious. I will be coming back.

Omg I absolutely loveeee this place, from the owner to the staff. They threw a special buffet style dinner last night, and the food was incredible!! I've been several times, but last night they had the best ribs EVER! as well as Alfredo pasta with prawns, the green beans were so seasoned, and the short ribs were heavenly. They even did a took a moment to honor the great Frankie Beverly. They had pasta with mussels, and the sauce was perfect!! If it was a pleasant surprise as I thought we were just meeting there for dinner. It's a place of community, beautiful people with big hearts and talented chefs
This place will have you daydreaming about the food weeks later. It was a wonderful night.

From the east coast. My first time to Oakland. I asked some locals where I could find a local ethnic restaurant. I was quickly pointed to Willows & Pine. I am very experienced with Creole cooking. Let me get to the point. The food is awesome. The ambiance is on point. The staff are friendly, courteous and all around amazing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a taste bud explosion. ????

I visited here from Dallas and the food, cocktails and atmosphere was amazing !! The music matches the vibe and the family operated business definitely had us feeling like family. I came with a group of ladies and it was dark outside when it was time to go and the owner had her son walk us to our car. Thank you !
