The only positive is that we were seated promptly for our reservation, but then royally neglected for the entire meal! Can't even say if we had an assigned server, as we had to flag passing workers down to order anything. The food came out so sporadically and slowly that staff attempted to clear the table and shoo us out between plates. The dishes themselves were disappointing (bland overcooked green bean salad, supposedly roasted carrots that seemed boiled and dipped in a sappy sweet sauce). A major miss all round. The place was surprisingly busy. Maybe this spot is the area's upscaled Applebie's?
The food is fantastic. Small plates to share always perfectly prepared and very well priced. They have an excellent cocktail and wine list. The staff were professional,informed and very nice as well. Love to eat there. Enjoy inside or outside with great heaters to stay warm.

Willi's was great. I hadn't been there for awhile, and and was a bit concerned that we could only have outside seating, since it was a cold evening. That was not an issue, since we were seated in a nice enclosed patio area with excellent heaters. It was cozy, and the meal and service were great!

Willi's Wine Bar is a wine lover's paradise! The extensive wine selection paired with delectable small plates creates the perfect dining experience. Each dish is expertly crafted, showcasing a variety of flavors and ingredients. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff make it a great spot for a romantic date or a casual evening with friends. Don't miss out on their signature wine flights – a delightful way to explore new varietals. Willi's Wine Bar truly sets the standard for exceptional wine and cuisine in the area.

If I pay $20 for a mini margarita, you better make sure there is tequila in it! Not a good place to dine alone. Sat at the bar and he still told me every portion was "made to share".Never again!

We enjoyed our visit. We all got cocktails and they were all good. It is all small plates, and we tried several different things. The loaded baked potato mac and cheese, riblets, cheese fritters, octopus, filet sliders, brussel sprouts, lemon cake, creme brulee and flourless chocolate cake were all delicious! It's pricey, but the food is tasty.
I haven't been there in over 10 years and decided to take some friends there. I was pleasantly surprised at how consistently good the food was. The service we received was also wonderful. We will definitely be back.

I like the small plates here, you can enjoy a bit of everything. Although they have broccolini on the menu, I asked just for a side of this, the waiter kinda laughed at me and said no they can't cook it special for you...he didn't even ask the kitchen. Also I noted it was my wife's bday but it was never acknowledged.
Beautiful place, beautiful and delicious food, friendly and helpful service!

If I was comparing it to the other Stark restaurants I've been to, like Bravas and Bird and Bottle, I'd subtract a star. The food was just OK. The wine selection and flights we're great, so I'd highly recommend it for that. But the food wasn't so remarkable.

Amazing experience and they have a wonderful gluten- free menu. Our server, Emilio, was helpful, attentive and let us linger past closing, to finish our wine and dessert. Can't wait to return!

Great wine list, ok service ... food was oddly seasoned - nearly every dish was overly sweet and if not sweet, devoid of any salt / savory seasoning We had Almonds (actually roasted almonds); sweet / sugary Calamari; very sweet / orange finish Scallop Dumplings; minimal flavor Pork Ribs; sweet sauce / finish Truffle French Fries; properly salted So - overall ... not terrible ... just kind of seemly really focused on sweet / sugar flavoring

This was my wife, and my first trip to Willi’s. We were there for lunch and shared the pork ribs, arugula salad and the french fries—which were out of this world! For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and chocolate sauce. Everything was wonderful and beyond our expectations. Laid-back and relaxed dining out on the patio and our waiter was totally low pressure but attentive.
