    The resturant was beautifully designed, linen flatware and dinnerware as well. Our server was polite but the only one it appeared so stretched thin. Four of us ordered coffee, tea, pancake , breakfast bowl. The pancake was delicious but the center was either filled with custard or uncooked🤔. The breakfast bowls were interesting. Contained a few pcs of uncooked spinach, cold quinoa, 2 over poached eggs, 4 pcs of meat jerky. No seasoning, just cold pcs of food in a bowl over quinoa. The location is great but there needs to be some work on menu and more staff than the poor waiter running around doing everything

    0/5 – Disastrous Experience, Ruined Our Valentine’s Day We had high hopes for Willow, but this was hands down the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. We waited 45 minutes just to be seated, and service was painfully slow from there. It took over an hour to get the focaccia, which arrived doughy, tasteless, and completely unsalted. Our appetizer didn’t show up until almost two hours in, and we finally gave up and left after 2 hours and 15 minutes—without ever receiving our main course or dessert. To top it off, they didn’t even offer a full refund despite the disastrous service. Absolutely unacceptable. We won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal, let alone a special occasion. Let me know if you want any edits!

    Great Valentines dinner with a multiple courses that were all well prepared and delicious. The rage was rich and flavorful and well complimented by the ricotta. The Surf and Turf was an excellent main. We will be back soon for dinner again.

    It was a good experience. However, the price was not justified. It was very good but not $50+-a-dish great.

    This is a very nice restaurant for a couples date night, our server was attentive and the food is first rate. Options on the menu are somewhat limited, with not as many Italian dishes as I expected, but the food we did order was tasty and prepared well.
