    Everything was delicious at willows. I had the double pork chop, which was big and cooked perfectly. It came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My wife had a grilled artichoke (best she’s ever had) and crab cakes. Chris was an excellent server.

    Per usual the food and service was incredible! Our reservation was at 5:30 but the hostess Selena was kind enough to get us sat a bit earlier. Our steaks and burgers (we ate on a Wed night when they have burger night) were cooked to the perfect temperature.

    My hotel was right across the street from this restaurant so I decided to try it. What a nice surprise. They had the baseball game going on. I was seated at a great table to view the game. I ordered the fajitas with shrimp, filet mignon and chicken. I couldn’t believe the amount of food that they sent to me. It was enough for three people, but if you know me, I had no problem polishing it off. Everything on it was perfect. It was such a great meal. The chicken was moist. The steak was tender, and the shrimp was perfectly grilled. The guacamole was handmade. The beans had a ton of cheese on them and the rice and vegetables were cooked to perfection. When I go back up to Wine country, this will be a do again. The restaurant didn’t even know they had open table program set up and I asked them to check on it and they didn’t know what to check on till I showed him the app and how to do it then they realized I had my reservation there and they said they clicked on it so hopefully I got my points for it. But they’re excited to see they’re on that program. I advised them it was set up for better end restaurants and that’s what I like to visit. So now they know they’re in the upper echelon for Mexican food.
