    This was tea. Great concept. Poor execution. I overheard one server thoroughly describing and explaining everything. our server didn’t do that. It seemed skimpy

    This is the first time we’ve gone to Willie’s for Sunday brunch. The experience was terrific with the food excellent and only surpassed by the service we received from Anthony. He is both professional and personable. He is a real asset to the organization.

    The 3 course menu was excellent with sole as the main for both of us and delicious deserts of plum pudding and crème brûlée. My starter was mushroom soup. Good but not outstanding like the rest of the meal.

    This is an extraordinary place to have high tea in the desert. It's very sincere and extraordinary. Good: Delicious tea, delicious lunch, gorgeous service. Improvements: Cheesecake needs a lemon shortbread crust or an actual gummy lemon. Change up the pumpkin pie shortbread with a base of sfogliatille (phyllo?) crust instead.. It would be really lovely to have live music for the holidays (bump up the price to cover!) I'd love to come back here for a regular lunch. Architecture of space is a little disjointed, maybe some live jazz to toe things together. Overall, a special, sincere, and beautiful experience. Well worth it!! Cool crowd, impeccable service. The art was gorgeous and fun. A special place for special dining experience.
    Willie'sResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the delicious tea and lunch, as well as our impeccable service and unique ambiance. Your suggestions for enhancing the desserts and introducing live music are wonderful ideas, especially for the holidays, and we'll certainly consider them as we continue to refine the experience. We're thrilled you found the space and art to be special and memorable, and we can't wait to welcome you back for lunch or another high tea soon. Thank you for your kind words and support! Willie
