    The food was good, not great. Service was excellent. I think it was overpriced, then they just bill you for a 20% tip with out giving you a choice.

    Enjoyed a delicious dinner on the atmospheric patio with our small dog. Server Luis was excellent, as was the martini, wine by the glass, salads and Dover sole. Willie’s offers a three-course menu for $58 which is a great value with lots of choices. Luis recommended the chocolate trifle for dessert and it was perfect for the two of us to share. This was our second time at the restaurant and we’ll definitely be back.
