    Terrific food and service! Our host Mansour provided unparalleled attention to detail. The beef and fish was absolutely delicious! Enjoyed celebrating our 32nd Wedding Anniversary at the Willow Creek Inn. You won’t be disappointed!

    The outside is off putting - old house that needs some upkeep and the walk needs to be cleared of dirt and limbs. The room inside that is used as a dining room is nice and clean. The food was ok, but not outstanding. I didn't care for the soup and the chef approached me at our table and said, "I was told you were complaining." I told him I had not complained, that I just couldn't eat the soup. I have some food allergies and I could tell a spice in the soup was not going to agree with me. He kept on about it in front of everyone. It was very uncomfortable for everyone at our table. The chicken in our meal was tender, but the tomato stew on top was full of lavender. The salmon and grilled veggies were great. The beef meal was not a favorite. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and we will not be going back.

    We were greeted and promptly served. The five course meal was excellent! There was wine served with the meal. The atmosphere was quiet and nice for a special meal out. We took friends who really enjoyed the experience.

    Horrible management. I had a reservation, and they cancel on me one hour before my reservation on Valentines Day. They overbooked. Then the manager was very unapologetic.

    This experience is truly unique!!! The food was fantastic and the service next level! There’s a passion behind this offering that is hard to find! We chose the beef this time and our courses were paired very well. I’d have been satisfied if the meal ended with the soup, but the food kept coming. We plan to come back and try the fish and chicken - and of course the wine pairings - next time!
