"Very nice place, the willow breakfast was great, eggs, bacon or sausage and fingerling potatoes was the description, but it doesn't do it justice. The toast was a tasty sourdough toasted nicely, potatoes were coarsely mashed then lightly fried golden brown into small cakes, and a tasty orange compote accompanied the plate for the toast. The coffee was also very good, not your average restaurant coffee or breakfast. I would recommend it. Service was quick and friendly. I will return for this breakfast."

"I haven’t stopped talking about my experience at Willow! A beautiful space and even better food to match! Such an elegant, classy restaurant for a date night or gathering with friends over a great meal. The staff were so welcoming, attentive and accommodating, which is so appreciated. The foccacia bread was a winner! Absolutely order it and eat the whole thing! lol the drinks were great - I loved “the willow” Our food was delicious and fresh. High quality written all over it. Can’t wait to try more of the menu!"

"Coming from SF I was a little arrogant and these guys really impressed me. Wait staff was very professional. Decor was modern and chic. Food was exceptional and not “too” pricey for what you get."

"I was disappointed. It's farm to fork - that is their big thing so understand that going in. There isn't a lot of flavor to anything. Not even basic salt & pepper. It's fresh - I will give them that. You order a potato, it tastes like a potato. Prepare to pay for your entry which is the entry only, any sides are separate. It's on the pricier side with sparkling water running at a small bottle for $8 and a can of Sprite (yes it was brought out in a can) running at $4. My niece and I love trying new places. To note, I don't mind the price point. What I want to do though is walk out, no matter what the amount of the bill, and say THAT was worth it! In this case, it wasn't. 2 people - 2 waters, 1 sprite, 2 appetizers, 2 entries and 2 sides - $163.13. Would be a decent price for a nicer restaurant experience however the food was bland, service was mediocre. We had signed up for their "experience" dinner. We arrived on time. There's no parking unless you can find it on the street so definitely just go to the DOCO parking garage. It's a quick 5-10 walk to the restaurant. The restaurant itself - lovely! Great date night, business lunch, etc. atmosphere. Upon checking in I was told that the dinner experience wasn't available because of an event that was booked that night. They did leave me a voice message "ahead" of time that I didn't receive until after. Our reservations was at 7pm, the message was left 545pm that same day. Would strongly suggest reaching out sooner to people. We chose to stay as we were there to try a new place and enjoy the atmosphere and food. Summary: the food was beautifully plated - I wish it tasted as flavorful as it looked. It had little flavor if any. Our server was nice but I'm fairly certain she forgot us several times as we often had no water and our food between the appetizer and meal took about 30 minutes with zero follow updates to us at the table. We typically take 2 or 3 hours for our Niece & Auntie dinners between enjoying the food to enjoying the conversation. We were there for about 2 hrs merely because of the food timeframe. I will note - because we had missed the dinner experience that we reserved, the manager did come over and take our bill back from the table and take off $60. That made the whole thing a bit easier to swallow. It's a 2 out of 5 for me based on the food alone. Service is a 2. Restaurant is lovely - décor, lighting ... excellent! Parking is typical for downtown. Zero wait. Overall a 3 due to the decor vs a 2 just on the food & service. Money wasn't worth the experience."

"A pleasant first experience at Willow this past week. The panzanella salad with chicken was prepared perfectly and full of flavor. My guest had the burger which she enjoyed. Service was a tad slow but it was still enjoyable. Will definitely try for dinner soon"
