Permanently Closed however will open as Sage and Salt in spring or summer focusing on Steaks and Chops. The new owner was a former employee of Willows.

Food was great, thought it was odd my menu had some things crossed out with sharpie lol we both ordered the Filet Oscar I did fries and squash/ zucchini and my husband did the standard two sides grits and squash/zucchini. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare ) the fries were AMAZING !! The squash and zucchini weren’t all that. My husband said the grits were good but he would’ve preferred fries. The total was 87$ no including tip , I would definitely come back. There is parking so that’s good !

We ordered the Swiss mushroom burgersThe burgers were cooked perfectly. Very juicy and seasoned well. I had the truffle fries. Not cooked right at all. When you picked one up it just flopped over. Very limp. I like fries crispy. Flavor was on point though.Our server was terrific. Really pleasant and took care of us.

Overall a really nice place. It looked very fancy inside and I like that all of the lampshades were different. I also really liked the ceiling fans they had up. The waitress was super nice and very accommodating. We were here on Easter Sunday for brunch and it was a special day because they normally don't do brunch. I had the eggs Benedict and it was my first time ordering these. One of them was more soft-boiled than poached but was still very good. I did not have any of the cocktails but my friend did and said they were really good. I can see myself definitely coming back for a lunch or a dinner again and checking this place out

Wonderful lunch experience. Went with wife on a Thursday. Vibe is quaint, hipster. Menu is excellent and should please everyone. We had the Willows Mozzarella Caprese and chicken salad croissant. We broke the dieg and got sweet potato fries and hand cut fries. The food was fantastic. We will be back for sure to try more things.

We stumbled upon this amazing place when we were driving by on a road trip (and what an excellent find it was). Can’t say enough about the food, atmosphere, and the staff. We have just been back a second time and it was just as good as the first. Plan to stop here every time we are near.

This place is way overpriced! The sun dried tomato rice lacked flavor and salt. The portions were descent but not for that price. Come on!!! $43 got four scallops, some mango salsa and rice. Yikes! Our waitress needs training. Our appetizer and main dishes came back to back. She could have timed it better. Our main dishes were cold by the time we ate them. Yikes! The ambiance was ok. It lacked energy though.

The salad was okay, I've had better at a fast food restaurant. The truffle fries tasted like they'd been cooked in old oil. I couldn't eat them and let the waiter know. He just said, "that's the way they taste." I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to friends or family.

We have heard about Willow's for some time, so we decided to check it out for a date night. The inside is warm and welcoming, and the service was kind (if not a little slow). Our food was decent, and the portions generous, but was overall lacking in flavor. While we weren't expecting "fancy," the music was Ted Nugent and Bon Jovi (?!). All in all, a decent place, but not worth the price point for the atmosphere and service.

Food was delicious. Waitress made us feel ignored took forever to come back to us. The place wasnt packed because it is only 1 small room. I wanted seafood but it wasn't on the menu. Once I finished eating I saw a black board behind me on the wall that had Features for the day with a ton of seafood dishes. When the waitress came to our table, I asked her why she didn't tell us about the daily dishes and she stated she did. NO she didn't because if she did I would have picked something! So we felt neglected and don't ever want her as my waitress again. She need more training. Everyone should get the same courtesy no matter the race

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate Valentine’s Day a few days early. We are so glad we did. The food was very good, and the atmosphere was really nice as well. The chicken breast was seared very nicely, and the ribeye was cooked very well. The only I will say is that it’s very small inside. I would absolutely recommend reservations.

It has been a few years since I'd been to Willow's, so we decided to stop in for dinner this evening. We were seated right away at a table for two, which was nice. I was expecting a wait on a Friday night. For dinner we decided to try a few small plates, and we were very happy with our picks! The ribs, crab cake, and baked brie were all delicious and for two people, substantial. My only gripe with these dishes would be the crab cake portion - for $15, I expect a bit more than one crab cake - I believe the appetizer used to have two, as is standard with many restaurants serving similar dishes. I enjoy the ambience here - it's a very relaxing environment. I've now had dinner and brunch at Willow's, and I think I prefer the brunch to the dinner now that I've tried both. Still, a nice experience.
