Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Auburn

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was delightful. However, the Carbonara was overpriced for the portion size.

I’ve been meaning to try Willy’s for a long time after getting a recommendation from a friend. Reservations need to be made well in advance for a booth but we got two seats at the Sushi bar 2 hours ahead. Full menu is available no matter where you sit. I got the 14oz strip steak with truffle butter and au jus, wife got the swordfish w/ beurre blanc. My steak was perfectly medium rare. My wife liked her swordfish but wished she got the steak. We got chocolate cake for dessert to go. Very rich and chocolatey. Overall the space is small and can get fairly lively and loud easily but felt like a good vibe anyway. My wife said they need a coat check for the bar seating it is definitely intimate seating. We had a great date night dinner for a great value and would do it again when we can get a booth.

We were seated by the window, hoping for a warm and cozy meal on a cold winter evening. Unfortunately, the large windows were very drafty, and we had to keep our coats on the whole time. The cold air was so noticeable that the short curtains were moving. It wasn’t just us—everyone sitting near the windows was bundled up in jackets and scarves, trying to stay warm while eating. The food and service might have been nice, but it was hard to enjoy with the constant chill. Hopefully, the restaurant fixes this because it has the potential to be a great, cozy spot.

Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.

Huge thank you for an absolutely outstanding Christmas Eve meal - Chris, our server, was truly head and shoulders above the rest and was so incredibly thoughtful and attentive. It was the best dining experience we had in a long time. Not to mention, our meal was phenomenal. Thank you!
