Willow

“Pretty cool lowkey Speakeasy. Staff was friendly, I did not try any food. You have to ring the doorbell to get in. Really cool vibe for a night. Drinks were strong!”

“Went to Willow for the first time this weekend and I loved the vibe and the ambiance. We got there about a hour before they closed Friday night and the kitchen was already closed so we ordered drinks. I had a Daiquiri and a Lemon Drop both were very strong. The waitress was great and the The DJ was playing great music to match the vibe and I was very satisfied, so much that I went back the next day. However, my experience was not the same as the night before. We went back Saturday around 6 when they opened. At the time there was only another couple sitting at the bar and my wife and I sitting at a booth. We ordered drinks and noticed the bar tender had a coughing and sneezing fit while he was making our drinks. He never covered his mouth he just turned away with the drinks still in hand while his germs were flying over the whole bar. We informed the waitress when she brought our drinks and she kinda gave us that look like, OK and......she offered to have him remake the drinks However, we didn't want him continuing to touch our drinks due to the lack of sanitation and he was the only bar tender back there so we decided to leave. Overall, I would still go back to this place because I love the setting and the drinks were good. However, in the near future management might want to give a course on sanitation and customer service.”

“The atmosphere was was decent. I went there on a Thursday night. The place was not very busy. I ordered cocktails, wings, and fries to share with my wife. The service was very slow but friendly. The naked-seasoned wings were barely seasoned. The fries were good except they only provided a small dab of ketchup that we had to ration. The food was Applebee's quality, maybe a little below. The most interesting thing about this place is that they don't give you plates. Instead they provided paper napkins. Most places that offer small bites on the menu will at least bring small plates for sharing. Finally, I'm a good tipper so I've always been put off by the mandatory 20% gratuity that certain places charge. The waitress was nice so I didn't mind it too much. But, don't be surprised by the gratuity being added to your bill.”

“Really disappointed to write this review. Husband and I were excited to try this speakeasy, we came in and got our first 2 cocktails at the bar within 20 mins. Was able to move to an open table and ordered 2 shots and their catfish fritters. Waited over 40 mins or so just for our catfish and another 20 mins for the shots. $17 for about 6 small pieces of catfish, expressed how ridiculous the portion size was compared to the price bc they were very skimpy. The server was able to have the kitchen send out more, so we were grateful for that bc they were seasoned good. But would have been a complete ripoff. As we requested the bill, we already estimated what the total should be. And even assumed they would charge $15/shot plus tax on everything. So we thought we should be paying no more than $85 for our 2 cocktails ($16 + $17), catfish fritters ($17), 2 shots ($30), 6% tax and then a little wiggle room. To our surprise, the bill came to $139.86. Like how!? We expressed our concerns to the server, recalculated everything with her since the receipt was itemized and she stated she was waiting for the manager to come and she apologized. We appreciated her politeness but after waiting 15-20mins for the manager, we figured the they were never gonna come so we had to take that L. We can’t believe how slow the service was for both drinks and food. And how they overcharge without proper justification. It was just us 2. Their atmosphere was decent but definitely not worth going back.”

“Coming into the space was decent, nicely decorated and clean. However there were many things that negatively impacted our experience at this establishment. They would not allow us to sit until the entire party was at the establishment when online it clearly states majority of the party was there which it was. When I showed it to the hostess she had an attitude and did not accommodate at all or apologize for their miscommunication. It was not busy at all and we could have been seated. When we were finally seated there were no menus or QR code at our table and our waiter came over and slammed it down on the table and walked away. He came back minutes later asking "what did we want" with no greeting and same as the hostess with an attitude. The drinks were very small and overpriced for the quality and the waiter did not come back to check on us we had to flag him down in the 90 minutes that we were there. They also were out of a lot of drinks. However he did have time to play and laugh with the group that was sitting next to us and others at the bar. The music was very loud you had to scream to be heard. Overall it was a terrible experience and a terrible way to end my birthday evening.”
