Willows is an excellent place to eat and drink. They have a great bar and dining room. The food is always good whether you are dining in or taking it home. I've never been disappointed with my food or drinks. The staff is very friendly too.

Willows is a locally owned family restaurant that specializes in Italian food and pizza. We eat there a few times a year and also get takeout. They have entertainment a few nights a week in the dining room. You need to make reservations on those nights. That was the case last night when we decided to go there for dinner. We were seated in the bar, which has a few booths and a number of high top tables, in addition to bar seating. We were seated at a high top. The chairs had a bar to rest your feet, so it wasn't uncomfortable. We started with drinks. My husband just got a soda. I cannot drink right now, but I asked if they could make their drink special - coconut margarita - alcohol free. The bartender did and it was delicious. My husband ordered the cup of chowder with half an eggplant sandwich. He thought the chowder had a slight vinegar taste to it; I had a small taste and didn't taste anything like that. He said his sandwich was delicious. I ordered the lasagna. It was excellent. Just the right amount of spice and a fair amount of meat and sausage in the sauce. It came with a small loaf of bread. Needless to say, I have today's lunch! Good value at $12.99, if memory serves. And what is dinner out without dessert? The hubby got the turtle cheesecake; I ordered the lemon cream cake. Both were very good and very reasonably priced at $4.99 each. I took pictures of my food, but not his. Don't ask me why. Also. I'm writing this on my phone. So I apologize if I missed some typos.

We really enjoyed dinner here when it finally arrived! Stared off with the onion rings and they were really good. Unfortunately, it took about 35 minutes after ordering! Thank God for sports on TV so we were distracted. The Deli department Pizza was spot on. The food here....excellent! The wait to get it, not acceptable. Our server was okay but didn't notice our wait until I finally called her over. Appears way understaffed. I would try the food again.
