A bit disappointing experience. as they were closing the next day til march, they ran out of ingredients and had to substitute poorly. Lemon sorbet on peach cobbler?? Small portions large prices. Service was trying but overall just a meh NYE dinner. Decorating was weak and 70s cover music was odd for NYE.

At 6:20 I asked if we could have a table that wasn't in the middle of the room because I am hearing impaired. I was told every table was taken, yet no one sat a over half the tables until 9 o'clock when we were about done. 3 meals came out and my rare tuna took an extra 10 minutes. The restaurant wasn't really busy until we were leaving yet and yet we had to ask for bread 3 times. It is a beautiful restaurant and each time we give it another try it's like the NY giants, disappointing.

Excellent all around! Jason Reiff and his staff provide a friendly, professional experience in a beautiful setting overlooking the marina on the Shrewsbury River directly facing Sandy Hook. The food is terrific all around. I especially enjoy the salmon and fresh fish of the day.
Celebrating early holidays with my brother from out of state and our elderly mother. Our table had a beautiful view of the misty Bay. Our waiter Nick was terrific. The food and drinks were all perfect from the oyster selection and bay scallops to the sushi burrito and salmon and eggs Benedict. Not a single complaint.

We went for a sip and shop, but made it a shop, sip and sup. Excellent lobster bisque, tasty holiday drinks. Sushi grade atlantic tuna was seared and served over a sticky rice ball with taro chips, very nicely presented and good to the last scallion. The Local Clams with Spaghetti dish was also excellent. Our waiter was patient, friendly and efficient .

We had a WONDERFUL meal and EXCELLENT service at One Willow. The views are spectacular. The food is exquisite. We sat close to a window with an amazing view, but we were also right next to the live music. The music was great but we didn't expect it. Ask ahead for a quiet table if that is what you prefer.

My daughter, myself and her boyfriend went for brunch. We had East Coast oysters, and Eggs Benedict which was heavenly . Peach Ballinis was an excellent companion drink.

I went to One Willow with my family of 4 for my father in laws birthday . We went on Wednesday where they were doing a special on oysters and clams from the raw bar . We took full advantage of it and it was incredible . Drinks were delicious along with the rest of the food . Service was on point and very polite. The guy named Chef Herbert was also really cute and funny.

The ambience and food was excellent. Our waitress was great, bar service was a little slow, but it was Saturday night, so not too bad. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return soon.
It was a beautiful fall evening and we enjoyed a table on the patio. Our server (Jane?) was very friendly and professional and provided excellent service. The food was outstanding. My scallops were fresh and cooked just how I like them. The risotto was out of this world!!
