We were seated right away although we arrived 10 min before our reservation. The server came within a few minutes to take our order. The appetizers bread and drinks came shortly after. Our dinner arrived before we finished the appetizer. The food was good and was as we expected. The manager helped with bringing our the food and desserts. We were able to finish our dinner and be out before our free parking was up. Over all very satisfactory.

Steaks were perfectly cooked and delicious. We got the broccolini and mushrooms - both great. Their seasonal fall cocktails with apple and maple flavors were all delicious as well (we tried 3 different ones).

We had an enjoyable early dinner at Willow Street. The bar was fairly empty and quiet so we decided to take a table there. The bartender was excellent and did a great job with the martinis and food orders. So friendly and welcoming! We will definitely return to Willow St for the delicious food, drinks and wonderful service.
