Though the restaurant was not very busy, we enjoyed our meals. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. The meals ordered were: Caesar Salad; Paccheri-pasta and lamb dish; the Pan Roasted Salmon, and the Crispy French Skin Chicken Breast were all delicious. We would book a reservation for a future occasion.

This was an outstanding place to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful time with our friends and I can't wait to come back. We had a great and attentive waiter - Dillon - who made our night memorable. I cannot say enough about the appetizers and my pasta dish as divine. The foccacia bread was exceptional and the margarita Dillon suggested was the best ever. I highly recommend this to anyone celebrating a birthday or memorable occasion or just want an unforgettable dinner.

The Caymus wine dinner event was great.. the majority of the food was amazing and the drink pairings went well. The dessert was so good too.

Although the food and service were good, we were disappointed by the prices. Open Table listed the menu at $30 and under. Actually the entrees were $40-$75. We were put in an awkward position having suggested it to another couple who were on a budget. No one was expecting the price discrepancy.

Reservation was at 10:30am. Restaurant was almost empty maybe 3 tables taken. Waited the host stand about 5 minutes .And as long as I'm writing this the host is in the wrong line of work. He's sharp and grumpy on a good day. It was kind of funny like being in a Seinfeld episode, but not today. Seated just over 10 minutes and had to ask for waters and coffees from host. Ordered as soon as our server came to table. We left at 11:20am our food never came out. Asked the host what was happening and made some snarky comment under his breath. I'm sorry but waiting for just under an hour for eggs is insane. Especially in an almost empty restaurant. We were going to give it another 5 minutes and the waitress (who had always been great)came out with cronuts and an apology which we assumed that the food was not coming anytime soon. If we had been given an explanation, that the order never got put in, kitchen was short staffed, any acknowledgment of why our food was taking so long. That they they cared, maybe we would have waited another 30 minutes. Zip, zero and nope. It's a shame because this was our go to for birthdays, anniversaries or just because. Bummer for us, I guess. Never going back

I went to Willow's for the first time for my anniversary with my husband. We had the meatballs for appetizer. That dish was outstanding. I never had a good tasting marinara sauce in my life. In the meatball, each bite That you take, you can taste all of the good flavors of the meatballs. My husband had the Crispy French skin chicken breast with chicken jus along side with veggies and mashed potatoes. (We substituted the mashed potatoes.) My husband ate the whole plate clean. He said that he never had chicken taste so delicious. The chicken itself was moist, juicy and full of flavor. I had the roasted Rack of lamb and i added mashed potatoes as well. It Was very delicious. Each bite was outstanding! We also had dessert. Since our meal was very delicious, we didn't want to miss out on dessert. my husband had the strawberry sorbet and I had the coconut pudding. It was very light and it was not so rich if I wasn't already full, I couldn't eat two of them. It was not too sugary, and the flavor was outstanding. My husband is talking about wanting to go back and try other dishes. We went on a Saturday night at 5 o'clock and it was not busy at all, our waiter was outstanding as well. Good service very kind. Overall, we had a great experience. We will definitely come back again.

Outstanding food creations. A very good chef. Each dish was a very nice surprise. The best Caesar salad we ever had. The bruschetta was very different and outstanding. The eggplant Parmesan also very different and delicious. All the food was very fresh. We will return soon.
Excellent service, delightful food, exquisite ambiance. Talk about a wonderful experience.

I came here for Mother's Day brunch. The decor and ambiance was pretty. However, the food and service were truthfully so bad. Nobody had approached us for the first 30 mins when we arrived and it took 50 mins to get our appetizers. When my aunt had asked why our food was taking so long, our waitress responded, “Can't you see we are so busy?” when the restaurant was half-filled. That is just one part of our service experience. When my brother's burger came out, there was a sticker still on the skin of the tomato and my sister-in-law's pasta had an actual pebble in it. Yes an actual ROCK. The food is not worth it. Everything was so subpar. Our pastries were not warm, but instead so hard. Please save yourself the trouble and do not waste your time or money on this restaurant.

Mother's Day Brunch. The place was empty, probably because it was a set menu and way over priced. The pastries were at least a week old along with the dessert. Our waitress keep forgetting us! Even brought tea but no cups to drink it. Maybe since they didn't have many reservations they brought on beginning staff. Not sure why the service was so bad. Thank goodness us ladies enjoyed being together for a special day

Came for Sunday brunch and enjoyed a delicious egg Benedict. Our server was excellent and provided attentive service.

Great food and service. I had the gnocchi and it was the best I've ever had. my husband had the carbonara with house made pasta, it was delicious. My friends really enjoyed the cioppino as well.
