"Fort Willow is a “welcomed hideaway with terrific service and crowd-pleasing sips” according to Maggie Hennessy. DMK Restaurants’ new treehouse-style spot certainly draws attention with its centerpiece, an “enormous tree made of reclaimed wood planks.” To drink, the Tree Fort Punch conceals a “hefty pour” of gin with sencha green and mint teas, raw sugar, and lime juice while the Daisy Puncher is a “tropical storm” of jalapeno-infused tequila, mescal, and guava syrup. Food options are more of a “mixed success.” A double dredging of batter “weigh[s] down” delicate cauliflower florets and Korean beef ribs offer “little depth” to counter its sweet notes, but charred and chileld broccoli are a mouthful of delight. Desserts include a “cooling, silky” horchata crème brulee, topped with cinnamon-scented rice noodles, that’s “both delicate and deeply satisfying.”" - Jeffy Mai
