    Everything was excellent. You must try the summer prefix menu. Three courses of the best of the menu items for only $50. You can’t go wrong.

    Another wonderful dining experience! The prime rib was exceptional. The service was excellent. The only questionable part of the meal was the cold gazpacho soup which was more like sweet water with some tiny melon balls in it. Very strange. Other the nap, another terrific meal! We’ll definitely be back.
    Willie'sResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the prime rib and excellent service—it means a lot to us. I appreciate your note about the gazpacho; that’s certainly not the impression we aim to leave, and I’ll share your comments with the kitchen. We’re always working to improve. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon for another great experience! Willie
