    Willow street is always a great place for a meal. Food quality is excellent and service is always speedy. We had the salmon and steak frites followed by a sundae. What better way to wrap up the week.

    Took my wife and daughter (her first time) here for their late/early birthdays. I made a note in OpenTable but no acknowledgment from the staff which was a little disappointing. We ordered the hamachi tiradito to start and although it was very good, the description didn’t match. It was supposed to have persimmons and pomegranate and instead had Japanese pears and something else. Again, was still very good but just not what we were expecting. My wife ordered the steak bites that was supposed to be braised trip tip and we were told it was not available but they could do something pan seared instead. Decided to try it and the meat was a little over cooked so it was a little dry. We really enjoyed our meals but these little things put a tiny bit of a damper on the overall experience. Despite that, I would still recommend this place to anyone and we will be back.
