We love Willies for the ambiance and attentive service. Our table of 5 selected from the fixed-price menu that was offered at $58. A good value. The choices included pork schnitzel (slightly dry), beef stroganoff (excellent), and flank steak (perfectly cooked but tough). The fish special was Dover sole, which was served with a sauce that overwhelmed the dish. Our guests had generous cocktails and after-dinner liquors.

This restaurant is a winner. Oscar, our waiter, made this a terrific experience. The food was top class from the butternut squash ravioli appetizer to the short rib Main course.

There were four of us. Our server, Luis, was outstanding. He was knowledgable, attentive and funny. His actions alone made the evening enjoyable. The food, we each picked from the prix fixe menu, was excellent. I highly recommend the General Tso’s Cauliflower starter, just perfect. We certainly will be back.
