I have been driving past this place for a couple years and always wanted to go in. This past weekend, we finally decided to have dinner at Willow and we are glad that we did. The layout consists of a couple small/medium sized dining rooms instead of one large room. We were seated in an upstairs dining room but there is a room with a fireplace on the main floor that we will try on our next visit.
The food was just as good as the decor. We started with a house side salad that had a good variety of greens with peppers, feta and enough dressing to cover everything. For dinner, we had a steak with shrimp/lobster kabob and crab cakes. The steak was good and perfectly cooked. The shrimp, lobster and vegetables had just enough char to taste good but there was a tab bit too much black pepper for my taste. I would have preferred a little Italian seasoning or red pepper. The crab cakes were loaded with lump crab meat with little or no bread crumbs and just the enough vegetables to make the crab cakes taste wonderful. We finished with some nice warm cake and a willow coffee. I can't remember the name of the cake, but it sounded great when the waiter was describing it to us. I also really liked that they had some adult coffee drinks. I wish more restaurants would have warm alcoholic drinks during the winter. I also liked that each course was properly spaced. At no time did we have two courses on the table at the same time. It was so refreshing to have dinner and not feel rushed. It didn't feel like it, but dinner took more than 2 hours. I'm sure it has something to do with the company, but the server never made us feel rushed.
I am glad that we finally tried this place and will definitely be visiting them again.
