    Our server was fantastic and the environment was excellent. We did a starter of crab cakes, 2 cocktails, Brussel sprouts, fries, and 20oz Ribeye steak. We finished off with a creme brule and a triple chocolate cake slice. The crab cakes, cocktails, Brussel sprouts, and desserts were all great. Presentations were also very nice. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with the ribeye and the fries. We got the optional gorgonzola addon and that was decent, but the ribeye itself felt like it lacked flavor. It was cooked appropriately (med rare) but just felt like almost any other cut would have likely been more flavorful. It was not bad, just disappointing. The fries were also on the disappointing side. A bit silly because they're just fries but they also really lacked taste. They were a nice texture and crispy and looked great, but seemed to utterly lack flavor. All in all a good dining experience and the staff was fantastic. I'd recommend passing on the Ribeye and opting for a better side than the fries.

    The seafood tower was great. Lobster, shrimp, crab legs, and oysters. Particularly liked our waitress, she was super friendly and efficient. I have forgotten her name but kudos to Willows for hiring her!

    We went to Chumash Resort Casino so see and show and had dinner at the Willows prior. Everything was wonderful. We had the pre-show pre-fix menu and it was delicious. My filet was cooked beautifully. Our server Mary Lynn was incredibly personable, professional and attentive. Overall a great expereince.

    The casino smoke coming into the restaurant was overwhelming and unpleasant. Food was overpriced and not good.

    Not worth it. Don't go. Overpriced food. Impossible to escape casino smoke. Abhorrently dirty restrooms - truly disgusting. This venue was a total waste of an evening. Although we had reservations and were seated without isssue other than a 30 minute delay, we watched hosts turn away several parties without reservations saying they had no available tables (even though we saw at least 9 empty tables in the dining room and at least 4 servers - each of whom appeared to have time for more customers).
