    Willie's is one of our favorite restaurants. The space is fresh. The food is perfectly prepared Our service was on point. We were seated when we arrived. Oscar was our waiter and he checked on us but was not overbearing. There were many choices to order. For a starter, we had a Caesar and Salmon tartar. My husband and our dining companions had Dover Sole. Halibut was our other friends choice. I had a Filet Mignon. We shared 2 Creme Brulee desserts. We were all pleased with our food. We already have a reservation for next time with other friends.

    We went for Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be a prefix. Some courses were great. Some a miss. Biggest challenge was the menu showed gratuity as being optional. We normally tip 20-25%. Not an issue. The bill came and the waiter had added 22%. We were just a party of two. Completely inappropriate as it contradicted the menu. Truly impacted the night. Again we would have tipped the amount added. It should be our choice - like the menu said. Not good

    The Valentine pre-fix selections were very good choices from the regular menu. Our server, Oscar, was as great as ever and served us in a unrushed way, but got us out in time to make it to the theater.

    The Lounge and Restaurant are both excellent venues. They brought champagne to those of us who were waiting because of a private event. Exceptional service once seated.

    I typically give Willie's all five stars, but last night was a disappointment. We had to wait a half hour after our reservation time to be seated. (Irony - Willie's only holds reservations for 15 minutes) It took about 40 minutes to get our entrees after ordering. The table service was not up to usual standards. HOWEVER, Margie was great. She did her very best to allay our disappointment and deserves kudos for that effort. Had it not been for her, Willie's would have received a bunch of two stars from me. Thanks, Margie.

    Great food, great service and amazing ambiance. I do not think you can ask for anything more from a restaurant.
