    First time visitors. There wasn’t anything they could’ve have been better. Service staff was friendly, helpful and attentive, they were not pushy or rushing us. Value was great- average prices for similar restaurant. Food was OUTSTANDING! A rundown: Bread, served with oil - delicious Clam chowder- not too thick broth, diced clams, chunky potatoes, peppery- suburb, above average chowder. Haddock Della Note- great portion size. Served with roast potatoes and veggies- delicious. Cooked to perfection. Salmon Balsamico- large portion size - tomato balsamic salsa atop grilled to perfection salmon. Served with roasted potato and veggies. Dessert- chocolate peanut butter cake. The perfect blend of moist cake and creamy peanut butter. Would give 10 stars! Will be back!

    Willy's is our favorite local restaurant. We love everything about it; the food, atmosphere, drinks and very friendly staff especially JD and Todd. Best steak tips I've ever had and my husband's favorite filet mignon are our go to meals. They also serve fabulous sushi and seafood so there is something for everyone. It might not be a place you would go to on a regular basis, but it's certainly a place to go for a special occasion.

    Best steak I ever had. I would have given service a 5 but someone called out that night which slowed things down. I'd still have given it a 5 but our poor server was so busy she forgot to bring us the check and we had to flag her down. Not her fault though. Fantastic food here!!!
