Our kitchen enjoys an exceptional reputation built on the creative talents of our chefs. The menu is American, although our chef draws inspiration from his international travels. Whether you’re enjoying Southern breezes poolside, the cozy club setting of our lobby or relaxing in our dining room, rest assured that your meal is memorable and your service is prompt and cheerful.

The Willcox has received high honors for sustainability and is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator and our community for our food, cocktails and staff. Come break bread with us. The experience is unpretentious and remarkably delicious.

When booking your reservation please consider the bar booking is in our Lobby area, and that outdoor reservations are not guaranteed a table inside in the event of inclement weather.

    Mushroom 🍄‍🟫 entree was unique and very 😊! Together with asparagus, poached, 🍋 and a special sauce was very memorable! The corn 🌽 and chicken soup had a nice spice! The arugula salad was tasty! Caroline, our server, a budding marine biologist, was polite, skilled and knew the menu. She handled questions with aplomb! Her wit and sense of humor was enjoyable!
