    Not worth it. Don't go. Overpriced food. Impossible to escape casino smoke. Abhorrently dirty restrooms - truly disgusting. This venue was a total waste of an evening. Although we had reservations and were seated without isssue other than a 30 minute delay, we watched hosts turn away several parties without reservations saying they had no available tables (even though we saw at least 9 empty tables in the dining room and at least 4 servers - each of whom appeared to have time for more customers).

    We celebrated our anniversary at Willows and had a wonderful experience, from the time that we were greeted by the host to the time we left the restaurant. We were offered seating in the patio, which was the perfect temperature even though it was a chilly night, thanks to the heaters they utilize. The fire pits they have contributed to the romantic atmosphere of the night. Our server Jane went above and beyond with the service she provided us all night, she suggested foods and drinks based on our preferences and checked in on us several times to assure we were doing well. Overall our night was made extra special with the service we were provided that night! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for amazing food and service!

    Waitress had attitude which dampened the evening. At first I thought maybe I was wrong, however 3 others in our party of 6 mentioned it afterwards We had to ask for side plates for everything from our appetizer to our dessert. (Maybe the dishwasher was sick) We had 3 items we asked to be packaged to go. She only packed the 2 sides and not the salmon. I have dined here on multiple occasions and this was my least favorite time due to our service

    I didn’t like how it was not handicap friendly or kid friendly. There’s no separate entry for handicap access or kid access. We were harassed by one of the casino employees on having my son stay out of the casino area when we were staying on the path going to the restaurant. The restaurant is far from main entrance and parking. Only high light of the night was our server Christina who was attentive and accommodating with a beautiful smile. Restaurant was short of utensils and we had to wait for more to be washed. Unheard of. I will unlikely return nor will I recommend this restaurant.

    I went for their chicken, however, as it was Christmas they were not serving it. I decided to go for the Christmas preset menu. A delicious kale salad, followed by an absolutely terrible prime rib. It tasted like it had been boiled. It was flavorless and overcooked. I had asked for medium rare to rare and I was brought medium to medium well and told this was the rarest they had. The dessert was amazing! I wish I could say the whole meal was good but the prime rib was by far. The worst I have ever had. My husband ‘s New York steak was delicious.
