    The chicken was delicious! Waitress was very good and staff was great. Pepper shaker broke apart in my husband baked potatoe ( kinda funny) . I didn’t like that they do an automatic tip on our bill, I find it presumptuous. I typically tip more than what the automatic tip is but when I see those I leave it be. ( for party’s under 6 )

    Our server Jessica was amazing! My husband shared the Willows salad with me... loved the almonds and the dressing!! He also had the New York steak which he said was cooked to perfection. I had the Cioppino, which was the best I've ever had! It was so delicious with giant pieces of salmon, crab legs, giant shrimp, scallops, calamari and clams. The broth was very savory. Very sharable!!

    We had an amazing experience at Willows at Chumash while celebrating our 7th anniversary. From the moment we arrived, our waitress, Christine, provided outstanding service, offering great suggestions and seating us on the patio, which made for a romantic and intimate setting. For our appetizer, we tried the Lamb Lollipops at Christine’s recommendation, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For our entrées, I had the US Wagyu Steak, which was incredibly tender and seasoned to perfection, while my wife enjoyed the chicken with asparagus, which was equally well-prepared. The combination of excellent food, top-notch service, and a beautiful atmosphere made this a night to remember. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary dinner and will definitely be returning! GIVE CHRISTINE A RAISE IMMEDIATELY.

    Food is good but way too expensive. Food came pretty fast but had to wait a very long time to get the bill taken care of. Restaurant is too dark.
