    We had a wonderful time at Willie's, as usual. We were disappointed that the table next to us had men who were almost screaming with their loud conversation. Our server was inattentive and we had to ask for everything that should be obvious. Refills on iced tea, clean napkin [one had dark red spots on it], extra silverware [we sat with birthday cake that was served with nothing to eat it with]. The food was marvelous. Beautifully and creatively served, and perfection in savory taste. We hope to return for a better all round experience.

    First time here and we all loved it. Excellent service by Michelle, and delicious food. We had the stroganoff, duck, shrimp scampi, and short rib. All were great but the stroganoff and short rib really stood out. Also loved the ravioli as an appetizer. Will definitely go back!

    All chairs were wet! 4 people had wet pants due to wet chairs. Beef Stroganoff was perhaps yesterday's Service at end was non existent! Had to call another server to find our serve! Late for our next engagement
    Willie'sResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the wet chairs. I was surprised to hear that the cushions were put back before they were completely dry from cleaning. This was an oversight, and I’ll ensure it doesn’t happen again. Your experience is important to us, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Willie

    This was our second visit to Willie's. Both times we sat on the outdoor patio which is quiet and nicely decorated. Staff is very attentive and pleasant. Five star service. The Beef Stroganoff is a top pick and was amazing. We will definitely be returning.
