    The menu is small but seems to have something for everyone. The food is consistently excellent and I love the fact that it is not a corporate outpost. The wine list is nice and well priced.

    We were looking for an alternative dining spot near Golden One Center and we found it!! Willow is a nice quiet restaurant a block away with very good food supported by great service. It was a slow Monday night, but that did not detract from the quality of this restaurant. We would highly recommend this for a pre-event dinner, special occasion, or whatever you are celbrating.

    Most amazing experience and we will definitely be back!! We had the scallops and pasta which we learned from our awesome server was made fresh daily!! Plus you have to start with the focaccia—it is an absolute MUST!! The location was also perfect as it was walking distance to the Train Museum for our candle light event. It was perfect!!

    Late valentines staycation with my hubby of 25 years. The restaurant was the perfect vibe for what we were looking for on a Sunday night in February. We will be back!
