Loved every bit of our experience. The high tea food was substantial and so tasty. The sandwiches were generously sized and delicious. The tea variety was a pleasure and allowed us to taste several different teas. The Prosecco was fabulous and we just had a generally delightful experience. Thank you so much for an afternoon well spent.

My husband, Monty, and I celebrated Thanksgiving at Willie's last night. Our server, Oscar, made our evening a special one. My martini to start the evening off was excellent. My husband, who has a seafood allergy was going to by pass the lobster amuse bouche - but Oscar suggested a special pot sticker substitute which Monty enjoyed as I had the lobster - excellent. I then had the Caesar Salad while Monty selected the Fall Apple and Walnut Salad - both were delicious. For mains I had the Filet and Monty, being the traditionalist, had the Turkey. He said it was the juiciest turkey he had ever had - my filet was prepared perfectly. We ended the evening with Pumpkin Pie (for him) and the Poached Pear for myself. What a wonderful holiday meal. Thanks to Oscar and the Willie's team for making it a memorable evening.

I recently had dinner at Willie’s with a group of six, and it was a delightful experience. We enjoyed a well-prepared four-course meal that didn’t disappoint. The food was flavorful and nicely presented, while the service was exceptional—our waiter was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. The drinks could’ve been a touch stronger, but they were still enjoyable and complemented the meal well. Overall, Willie’s is a fantastic spot to gather with friends and family for a memorable evening. One note: If you plan to dine here, make an effort to dress appropriately—at the very least, in Palm Springs-style attire. I’m all for staying casual and comfortable, but come on, a little effort goes a long way in elevating the ambiance for everyone! Willie’s gets my recommendation, and I look forward to returning!
