A great space, excellent food, a tad clunky service. Perhaps it was just New Year’s Eve . Will definitely come again.

Willie’s does not disappoint! We went for Sunday brunch, enjoyed the salad nicoise and French omelette with mimosas and coffee. Service was excellent, even while understaffed, as hosts stepped up to assist the single server. They did not miss a beat! Have dined at Willie’s previously; can’t wait to try the Sunday tea next!

Excellent meal as always. We were in a private dining room with a fireplace that seats up to 10 people. Anthony provided exceptional service. Dover sole on the prefix menu was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal and left very satisfied.
