    We went for the Christmas Day menu, everything was perfect! Food was delicious! Staff were awesome! The owner was also there, working away to make sure everything was of a high standard. Service was paramount to the whole evening’s experience. Would definitely recommend trying this venue out, a short drive from the centre of Palm Springs, well worth it! Thank you for a lovely evening!

    We usually avoid restaurants on holidays, mainly because they’re often not the best time for restaurants to showcase what they do best, away from the pressures of serving so many people on a single day and offering okay but not outstanding meal options. This was definitely not the case with Willie’s this past Christmas Day. The food — everything from the amuse bouche to desserts — was excellent and the service superb (special thanks to our server Anthony, but we know this is a team effort). We never felt rushed, the noise level was low to moderate, and our table location afforded us the opportunity to see first-hand just how well everyone, including Willie himself, work together to provide a most pleasurable dining experience (even on a holiday).

    The food was good, not great. Service was excellent. I think it was overpriced, then they just bill you for a 20% tip with out giving you a choice.
