    The food, service, and atmosphere are great. The menu is packed with Japanese fusion from lobster/wagyu dumplings to Japanese whiskey old fashiond’s and unique sushi offerings. This is a great place for an intimate date night, or a night of celebration with the family. I highly recommend the White Willow.

    WOW, what an incredible dinning experience. I don’t even know where to start since everything was so perfect. I believe this restaurant opened mid January, so it is relatively new. Let me start with the ambience. We travel a lot and this was one of the most beautiful restaurants we’ve seen. They have a wine cellar that is beautiful, a bar for some yummy drinks, and the tables were set up so beautiful. Moving onto the staff. Our waiters name was Christoph. He is now number one on our list of Best servers. He was impeccably trained, it was just a nice mix of being attentive and knowing when too give you a few minutes. He was well-versed on the menu, we did a lot of his suggestions and it certainly did not disappoint. He was extremely friendly and so professional hits off to Christoph. You made our dying experience so special. Now let’s get to the food, we just got back from Italy and had a lot of delicious pasta. This was just as good, and this is a hard call, but I say better. We had a nice mix, entrées and appetizers. We started off with a truffle ravioli, which really said the tone of what was to come. They serve fresh baked focaccia with a blend of olive oil and herbs and a touchable balsamic vinegar, love d it. For entrées, we ordered a mushroom pasta dish, veal chop Parmesan and her son ordered a New York strip steak. The presentations were beautiful and I can’t begin to rave enough about the food. As mentioned earlier, we have cocktails and wine. Got a nice pairing with what we ordered for food. I just wanna say thanks again to Genevieve‘s for an incredible night. We will 100% be back real soon. Thanks again

    First visit for us and we will definitely be back. Our chicken wings appetizer was delicious as was my grouper sandwich. The “smash burger” could have used a little more char per my husband. Beautiful and sophisticated ambience. Highly recommend.
