   The only real issue was that the food runners couldn’t seem to place the correct orders in front of our guests. We were continually having to move the plates to get them correctly placed. Just a little more attention to the details would really set you apart. Also, and I’m sure it’s a minor thing…but the utensils on the table are almost a bit too delicate and tiny. For those of us who suffer with a bit of arthritis, using those utensils can prove to be a bit of a challenge.

   For our first meal here, we tried their summer special prix fixe menu for $49. Lots of good selections including some very interesting ones. And the service was terrific.

    Another fabulous evening at Willie's! Brian greeted us and we were eated immediately and greeted by Sergio, our fantastic waiter. Drinks were served quickly and perfectly made. Our dinners were incredibly delicious. We both had the wedge salad and the beef stroganoff, both which were divine! We were celebrating my birthday so I chose the almond tart and he chose the brownie sundae. Both were good. The service is impeccable, food delicious and it has become our favorite spot in the desert.

    Dining room is still a bit noisey despite new ceiling tiles for sound. Meal seemed kind of meager, tasty and beautifully presented but a bit skimpy. Staff always super friendly and a great vibe overall. Very busy for August in the desert!

    The food was marginal. The Chilean Sea Bass was too salty and overcooked. The base of peas and corn was mushy and the sauce lacked flavor and was used sparingly. However, our butternut squash ravioli appetizer was tasty. The wait staff was excellent and the maitre’d, Brian, made us feel at home. Our waiter, Ulysses, tended to our every need. We definitely will go back and hope our food experience will match the excellent service.

    Louis was an excellent host who made our night very pleasant. Food was very good except didn’t like the gazpacho. I like traditional gazpacho so this version was not my favorite. But, that didn’t keep us from enjoying the meal overall.

    Delicious food and the best service from John, our waiter. Hubby had rabbit, which is a treat. I had the chicken cordon bleu,, which is reimagined in an interesting way. Lovely atmosphere. The lounge is first-come, first-served, with a slightly different menu. Nice wine list and caviar, for those who partake. We'll definitely be back.

    I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant. The vibe was great but the food was only fair. Chicken was dry and salmon and potatoes were served room temperature. The apple tart came with cinnamon ice cream. We asked for vanilla instead and were told the kitchen didn't like making substitutions even though they had vanilla on the menu. Really, is it harder scooping vanilla rather then cinnamon? We live close by so we will try it one more time. Hopefully it will be better.

    We went for Sunday Brunch the food was excellent 3 courses all done very well. The server accidentally removed a salad that my dining partner was still working on. She apologized and came back to the table and offered another salad, which we didn't accept but noted as going above and beyond. The summer menu is also very good with an excellent three course menu. The Short rib and the Stroganoff are excellent and I want to go back and try to cinder block salmon which looked delicious at the next table.

    The ambience of the restaurant was wonderful, and the food quality was fair to good. However, they need to do a better job with the quality of the service. I also thought the manager lacked a little professional polish.

    What we had of the prix fixe (gazpacho, beef stroganoff, applie tart) was disappointing. Gazpacho was a skimpy clear broth that was far too acidic and tart and the stroganoff, while an ample serving, was dense and a bit gummy, screamed for more seasoning and an herbal note of some type, even parsley. We WILL be back, but the dinner was not especially memorable. The staff is always superb, from seating to final bill presentation.

    We had very high expectations after reading reviews and hearing of this place through word of mouth. Reality was very different. The service was friendly and attentive but the food was average and was served cold. Both of our plated were just warm. Perhaps it was just an off night. There was a large group seated in another room that may have detracted from the food quality. Based on our experience, we will most likely not return. I should also add that we chose not to complain about the food quality. Again, great service but mediocre food.

    First visit and there was an event going on in the bar so the noise made it impossible to have a conversation in the dining room. We both had pasta dishes and they were okay but not great. Fresh pasta was really dry. Interior doesn't have a lot of character. Hoping a second visit might change impressions!

Wonderful food, great ambience, attentive service and a unique variety of flavors that will impress you each time you go. We generally like the fixed price menus… Either in the evening or for brunch. Highly recommended.

    Willie's is a new classic, in our book. Lovely setting, white table cloths & linens, candle in a fine old etched glass. But surprisingly not just-special occasion. Easy-going. Deliciously enjoyable. Excellent food -- same for the cocktails. Top notch.

    We were a group of 7 business associates. Loved the menu selection and the food was great both in presentation and taste. The servers were good. A/C was really chilly but they were willing to turn down the fans blowing on our table and then it was fine. Overall, a very pleasant evening. We would recommend!

    Overall a good dining experience. However, my table of 4 got rail-roaded into buying not one but two bottles of “stilled” water at $12.00 a bottle. When seated we were asked if we wanted sparkling or stilled water. Understanding the choices that one choice, the stilled, to be tap. It wasn’t served in anything but a restaurant carafe. Not an impressive Evian bottled water to show its impressive price and mark up. We all ordered the pre-fix and did not notice the stilled water amongst our other beverages on the tab. It wasn’t until after this mishap was noticed. Their error was not to offer tap water at the beginning of our service but only H2O that was being charged. $12.00 for an unmarked bottle of stilled water? Really!! No matter if I could afford it but all around, buyer beware at Willie’s.
