    We took our neighbors for their first visit. The service was great as was the food. The drinks were great and the pace of service wonderful. Generous portions and great flavor on the pork chop. My wife loved the prime rib. Thanks for taking care of us. Our friends will be back.

    Overall had a really nice evening. The server Ulysses was personable, knowledgeable and responsive. Food was good.. charcuterie board could use a bit of pizzazz for the higher price tag. The wedge and shrimp cocktail were excellent.

    Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I’m glad you had a nice evening and that Ulysses took great care of you. I appreciate your note on the charcuterie board—always looking for ways to improve. Hope to welcome you back again soon. – Willie

    Our server, Jordan, was lovely and gracious; however, she had too many tables and couldn't provide enough attention. Not her fault. Under the circumstances, she did very well It took about 15-20 minutes to get the menus. We had the drink menus, but not the dinner menus. We were hungry. The Szechuan cauliflower was super sweet. The Caesar salad didn't have enough dressing and was made with butter lettuce rather than classic Romaine. The butternut ravioli and the beef stroganoff entrees were excellent. Highly recommend. The short rib entree came with mashed potatoes, which was not listed on the menu. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves at Willie's. The ambiance is wonderful--and quiet; but the booths are extremely uncomfortable. The backs are super straight and almost lean forward. (They looked really comfortable in the online photographs!)
    Willie'sResponded on May 13, 2025
    Thank you for the thoughtful review and for recognizing Jordan’s efforts. I appreciate your patience with the service delays and will address the issues you noted, including the menu timing, the dishes, and the booth comfort. Your comments are valuable, and I’m glad the overall experience and several of the entrees made a positive impression. I hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide an even better experience. Willie
