    My favorite spot in downtown Sacramento. The vibe is 10/10. Food is 10/10. Their sommelier, Evan, is so knowledgeable. This place in general is a gem in Sacramento!

    A delightful evening for two celebrating our wedding anniversary. Shared a Ceaser Salad and Salmon for one entree and chick for the other. Service was casual but efficient with Jordan. Host/Sommelier Evan was knowledgeable and shared a little extra wine with us.

    Amazing food, amazing staff. I love willow. The mussels are my favorite. We had the lamb and the sea bass and both were 10/10. The asparagus with deviled egg purée was unexpectedly yummy.

    Four of us for lunch. All ordered different meals. Burger, Carbonara, chicken flatbread sandwich and panazella salad. ALL were amazing! Tyler was the most awesome guide (server) throughout the meal!

    The Ambience and the decoration are very good. The service is excellent, everyone working there is super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, excellent quality and good portions. We tried some appetizers such as carrots, focaccia, and Spanish octopus, and all of them were delicious. For the main course , we ordered crispy French chicken, pasta campanelle, paccheri, and bucatini carbonara, everything was delicious. I highly recommend this place. They have a good variety of wines and cocktails. The alcazar margarita is very tasty, ( we didn’t really like the sangria), it was too dry to be a sangria. This restaurant is a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or some special occasion. It is a great places as well to share a good time with friends or family, or simply to enjoy some good food or drinks by yourself.

    The drinks and burger were good, the ambiance and decor very pleasant. Pasta, banana bread, pork belly benedict, caesar salad, all very mediocre & not very memorable. French toast and burger & fries and aioli were the best part.

    Great food and experience overall! Appreciate Evan’s stories around the wine we chose. First time at Willow was great and will be suggesting as a must try! Thank you for making my friend’s birthday dinner so great!
