Our kitchen enjoys an exceptional reputation built on the creative talents of our chefs. The menu is American, although our chef draws inspiration from his international travels. Whether you’re enjoying Southern breezes poolside, the cozy club setting of our lobby or relaxing in our dining room, rest assured that your meal is memorable and your service is prompt and cheerful.

The Willcox has received high honors for sustainability and is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator and our community for our food, cocktails and staff. Come break bread with us. The experience is unpretentious and remarkably delicious.

When booking your reservation please consider the bar booking is in our Lobby area, and that outdoor reservations are not guaranteed a table inside in the event of inclement weather.

    Victoria waited on my husband and I for our first wedding anniversary and our first time dining at the Willcox. She mentioned it was her third day at the Willcox, and we would've never known. She was so knowledgeable and if she didn't know, she quickly found out. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was very pleasant!
    The Willcox RestaurantResponded on 14 November 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're honored that you chose The Willcox to celebrate your first wedding anniversary.
