    They sate us at a small table after I made reservations when I asked to move to a bigger table the hostess said no as there was a reservation to sit there. After we ordered at the little table I watched the larger table the whole time and only 2 people were sat at it. Which didn’t make sense as we were a larger party with a reservation. The waiter was amazing though so I feel bad even talking about the beginning experience as he made the rest of the meal worth it.

    Reservation was easy. We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday with my two teenaged children. The service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is warm and bright. Food was great, excellent portion size and good value. Nice selection of craft beer. Will definitely come back.

    The food and chefs are excellent. The service was not good, we sat for 15-20 minutes without being asked even if we would like water. Two other tables were serviced prior to us. We were not attended to until asked. Not a good experience with wait staff and this is not the first time.

    We hadn’t been to Willow Street in a couple years; we used to come more often. The menu has gotten smaller. I didn’t see any seasonal specials like they used to have. No holiday cocktails either. Service was fine, although it did take a long time to get our food once ordered. Food was ok; not as good as in years past. Would like to see the roasted potatoes return that used to come with the salmon….seasonal specials and cocktails, and bring back healthier, GF options.

    Hi there Jill, thank you very much for taking some time to leave us a review! We're disappointed to hear you weren't a big fan of your meal and that it took a bit too long for it to arrive to your table. We also apologize about not having our usual holiday specials and cocktails like before. We're always working on updating & improving our menu and we will certainly take all of your great suggestions into consideration when we next meet with our team about it. We greatly appreciate your time & patronage and do hope we see you again to exceed your expectations!

    Booked our work lunch - the atmosphere was so cozy and decorated for the holidays. We were greeted by our server, Ben who was kind and attentive. We started with the Spinach Dip - Soooo good. The bread was freshly baked to order, the dip was complimented by the whole table. Since we came for lunch, we all decided to order the lunch special. So much food! The salads were fresh, crisp, and cold. I had a pasta while my coworkers ordered mini pizzas. Even though the entrees were lunch sized, we all were stuffed. We had refills upon request, and my coworker loved the Iced Tea. Next time we schedule a work lunch, Willow Street will be in the rotation.

Ben will also be certainly thrilled to hear your compliments as well, so we'll be sure to tell him about your shout out! Thanks again for stopping by and we can't wait to see you and your coworkers again very soon!

    We were disappointed in the food…edible but not flavorful or exciting. The waiter was very nice, but a bit harried. Wait staff didn’t act like they wanted to be there, with coat still on, ready to get out of the building. Just a little underwhelming experience

    Hi Cindy, thank you very much for taking a moment to share your experience with us. We're disappointed to hear you left feeling underwhelmed by our food and service and appreciate you detailing what exactly was wrong with your stay. This way, we are able to address specific points of improvement with our kitchen and waitstaff and will be sure to do so when we next speak with our team. We hope this doesn't discourage you from dining with us again as we would love the chance to exceed your expectations! Until then, please take care!
