Great cocktails and service in the bar before dinner. Server Ben provided good dinner recomendations and a fun experience.
We visit the restaurant often, it's a good casual spot with something for everyone. The beverage menu has many beer options and it's nice to have cocktail selections as well. We like it when they have special seasonal menu choices. Service is friendly, efficient and fast.
They sate us at a small table after I made reservations when I asked to move to a bigger table the hostess said no as there was a reservation to sit there. After we ordered at the little table I watched the larger table the whole time and only 2 people were sat at it. Which didn't make sense as we were a larger party with a reservation. The waiter was amazing though so I feel bad even talking about the beginning experience as he made the rest of the meal worth it.
As longtime locals, we can always count on Willow Street for a great meal, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service was attentive, the food delicious, and the prices reasonable. You really can't beat the location. A neighborhood gem that we definitely recommend!
Reservation was easy. We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday with my two teenaged children. The service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is warm and bright. Food was great, excellent portion size and good value. Nice selection of craft beer. Will definitely come back.
The food and chefs are excellent. The service was not good, we sat for 15-20 minutes without being asked even if we would like water. Two other tables were serviced prior to us. We were not attended to until asked. Not a good experience with wait staff and this is not the first time.
Another pretty good halal option around the area.
I tried pasta, willow burger and BBQ ribs. Everything was great.

First and foremost Ben made our night wonderful. While we’ve been to this location back when we were kids, and now we’re bringing our kids, and the food has been tasty each time, tonight, it was Ben. Non alcoholic beer, mocktail, cream ale, the calamari was good, the pastas were tasty, Gorgonzola salad was bomb….but again, after all of that, tonight…it was Ben. His communication, timing, friendliness, and care for us is what will bring us bank….it would be absolutely awesome if more dining liaisons were like Ben. Thx to him, bravo!

Food was not great. The pizza I shared with someone was extremely salty to the point that we both commented on the saltiness. Service was okay but one my tablemates had to ask for a second glass of wine three times. Don't plan on going back.

I give this place 5 star for their food but 3 star on service only because they were slow. It took a while to get our drinks then we waited for the server to come and get our order and food took longer to prepare. Our waitress was nice but things just took a bit longer.
Love the fact that their meat is Halal. We had a child with us and they gave him crayons and coloring paper which is thoughtful.
We got a strawberry mocktail which was ???? My steak salad was bomb! Highly recommend. My friends each liked their food and we shared pesto Cauliflower and wings as appetizers which were average in my opinion.
Overall, we had a good time at this place and will most likely come back.
Kid-friendliness: They had a kid high chair and crayons and a coloring sheet.

Got a Thai chicken pizza and salad ! I like the blend of eastern and western flavors here. Great pizza shop with wood fired pizza in the South Bay! Fun for groups and it has good vibes

Great service and food
Great new place for me. Had the seafood pasta with a child pizza. I'll definitely come back and try more here. A little cramped as far as seating.
