    Afternoon tea is such a delight. The service was exceptional with John. Very personable, attentive, and great energy. The presentation and taste was spot on and I just love that scone with golden raisins. So well done. Plus it’s an excuse to dress up with a fastener or tiara. This is one of my favorite things to do in Rancho Mirage.

    Brunch menu was diverse and the Benedict and French omelette we ordered were both delicious and cooked perfectly. Nice brunch cocktails as well. Service was on point, ambiance and decor were tranquil and tasteful. Would definitely return for brunch or dinner. Only caveat- not kid centric, save this lovely restaurant for adults only.

    Always a lovely evening at Willie’s. Not over the top but good is good across the board, prices are appropriate for the dinners and service. Fish was fresh (Alaskan halibut) and molten chocolate cake yummy.

    Each visit to Willie's has been wonderful...we went again for their Afternoon Tea, and everything was fantastic. The tea selection is very unique; each time we discover a new favorite tea. The food is well-prepared and delicious...just the right balance of flavors for an afternoon tea. A special shout out to Margie, who was our server last time, and was phenomenal...so much so that this time, even though she wasn't our server, she managed to greet us warmly with a smile, and actually helped us with a small menu substitution request that we had made when booking but did not fully materialize. All in all a great experience...a true oasis in the desert!
    Willie'sResponded on April 28, 2025
    Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review. I’m so pleased to hear that you continue to enjoy Afternoon Tea at Willie’s and that each visit brings a new favorite discovery. I’m especially grateful you mentioned Margie — she truly embodies the spirit of hospitality we strive for, and I’m thrilled she was able to assist you and help make your visit special. I also appreciate your feedback regarding the menu substitution request, and I will review it with our team to ensure we better execute these special accommodations in the future. Thank you again for your loyalty and support. I look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Willie
