Unique experience. Make sure you CALL if using any sort of coupon. This is not a normal booking experience because it's very small and the owner does it all with one in the kitchen. (maybe two) I felt like I was transported to someone's dining room in the countryside in Europe. The food was great and big portions. You'll be asked for your food order when you book so they can get it that day. Enjoy!

This was our first visit to Willow Creek Inn and we did not know what to expect, especially since they do not have a menu - we were pleasantly surprised! We chose beef as our entree and we are glad we did as we had the most delicious Beef Wellington. All five courses were great. We enjoyed talking to Monsour Zand and getting to view his paintings - he is very talented, both in the kitchen and at the easel!

The outside is off putting - old house that needs some upkeep and the walk needs to be cleared of dirt and limbs. The room inside that is used as a dining room is nice and clean. The food was ok, but not outstanding. I didn't care for the soup and the chef approached me at our table and said, "I was told you were complaining." I told him I had not complained, that I just couldn't eat the soup. I have some food allergies and I could tell a spice in the soup was not going to agree with me. He kept on about it in front of everyone. It was very uncomfortable for everyone at our table. The chicken in our meal was tender, but the tomato stew on top was full of lavender. The salmon and grilled veggies were great. The beef meal was not a favorite. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and we will not be going back.

We were greeted and promptly served. The five course meal was excellent! There was wine served with the meal. The atmosphere was quiet and nice for a special meal out. We took friends who really enjoyed the experience.
