Willow Room

I really like what this place is now. Great food, good service and the space is nicely laid out. The hostesses were very friendly and got us seated quickly. Service was good if a bit distant but the drinks and good came out quickly. I had the pork schnitzel which was great! Love the breading and the pork was very juicy My husband has the beef Wellington and he loved it. I will certainly return, especially since it's so close to the steppenwolf theatre.

I can not even begin to say thank you enough to Matt & April for the phenomenal service / support for my fiancé & I proposal party!!! We reserved the absolutely stunning wine cellar room for a nice intimate get together with family & friends! We ordered hors d’oeuvres of Chicken Sliders, Meatballs & deviled eggs which all of it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much again to Matt & April for adding onto such a beautiful day with such a good time! I will be back for sure! (Totally forgot to take pictures of food cause I was being a complete socialite)

However, as with any establishment, experiences can vary, so it's recommended to check recent reviews for the latest feedback.

I came to Willow Room with a group of friends for my birthday and had such a wonderful time. The staff is kind, food and drinks were great, and overall the vibes of the place are just beautiful. Our group loved the food, especially the dip trio, gnocchi, and scallops which were especially delicious. The staff was so accommodating and stored & sliced a cake we had brought. At the end of the meal the waiter even reminded us that gratuity was already included in the check because of our party size, which I appreciated. Overall I would recommend Willow Room to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a special place to celebrate or go for a date night!

This was our second time at Willow Room, and it was just as good, if not better, than the first time. We had our wedding party here last year and they were phenomenal. I highly recommend the Wellington. Truly fantastic.

Chicken sandwich was even better than I expected, very balanced and well cooked chicken, with crispy hearty fries. Also really enjoyed the donuts, where the ricotta and orange flavors were surprisingly well balanced.

I have only ever done the 3-course tasting on Mondays and I will not deviate!! $38 is a steal for the quality and amount of food served. We started with the mussels & beet salad. The mussels are DELICIOUS and the broth left at the bottom is just begging for an additional load of bread to sop it all up. 20 out of 10. The beet salad is light, but filling. It could easily stand on its own as an entree. 10 out of 10. Next we had the short rib and the truffle gnocchi and that’s when we started to get full 💀 the food is so rich and creamy and profound, 10s across the board. We did end up boxing those up to take home, but we definitely needed to have the third course. For dessert we did the key lime pie and the orange glaze donuts, a personal favorite of mine. The pie is light and airy and the donuts are HEAVY but are cut by that citrusy tartness of the orange. A perfect way to finish. The cocktails were divine as well. Our favorite was the Mi Cariño but we also had the match gin sour, the willow, and the French 75. All 10s. Our lovely waitress April was super attentive.. knew that I wanted that extra bread roll before I could even say it out loud 😂😂😂 this review comes after my 4th or 5th visit, and I’ll definitely be returning. 🫶🏾

Great food, good service, really bad acoustic. We went for dinner and ordered 2 starters (Burrata and Arancini) 1 main (Beef Wellington) with 2 sides (Pommes Puree [french for mash potatoes] and Cauliflower) and finished with a dessert (Key Lime Pie). I also and had a mocktail (Pompom). All the items were great. We really liked the burrata and thought the beef Wellington could have a more-meat-less-pastry ratio. Service was very good but we had the guy who refills the water coming every few minutes and pour more water into our already filled glass. He also spilled some water here and there and I ask him to stop at some point which he didn't. It was a bit annoying. The only big issue was the acoustic. This place is so noisy. Other than that the decor is nice.
