Came in without a reservation and was seated immediately. The space is small but not too loud, has a nice atmosphere and cute decor.The food was AMAZING. Usually vegan bistros (and similar style cafes) who use vegan meats and cheeses leave me feeling weighed down and too full, but Willow somehow made all of their ingredients feel fresh and light!I cannot overstate how delicious the vegan cheesesteak sandwich was. I also had the Cajun fries, clam chowder, and tried some of my partners dinner, the French onion soup and the smash burger.There was not a thing on the table that I didn’t great enjoy. Definitely looking forward to our next dinner there!Dietary restrictions: Entirely vegan foodWheelchair accessibility: The room is not conducive to wheelchair use, however there are a few tables at the front that staff could likely clear or convert for easy accessibility.

the food is bleh. I wouldn't come back tbh. the service was okay, the waitress and hostess kept checking on us, mainly due to the fact there was lowkey rushing my friend and I to leave , due to another reservation party. which is highly annoying. very expensive and over priced mediocre food. the tables are too close together and small, which was also annoying , it a small restaurant. the Mac and cheese overrated, the calamari overrated , the French dip wasn't worth it and the ravioli bad. I'm trying to save u money , if ur reading this. there's better options at a cheaper price and better taste in terms of seasoning . tbh the best part was the dessert cookie, with vanilla ice cream and the French fries that came with the French dip entree was great , but that's about it.

Willow is fine. Service was great. My expectation was that because there is a chef, there would be more creative dishes for the price point. There are a lot of vegan places doing really imaginative things with plant based dishes, but this menu is a lot of imitation meat and chicken. I got the Chicken Francese thinking it was going to be mind blowing since it was $27, and it was ok. We loved the mushroom calamari. Cocktails were great.

Wonderful service and delicious food. I’m gluten free and vegan and was able to order on their special allergy menu.
