    One of my favorite spots! The Prix Fixe menu is great on a Monday night! Caesar salad is the best in the city! Truffle gnocchi was delicious. The Orange Ricotta donuts are a treat!

    Wonderful date night spot. Staff was engaging and attentive. All courses came out quickly and were delicious. Glad we finally checked out the Willow Room and will most definitely be back. We had a reservation for the main dining room but there was a delay in tables clearing out. The staff was quick to offer a solution and seated us downstairs. Though there were other open tables, we were seated next to the bathrooms, but did not ask for a new table due to the delay in getting seated.

    Phenomenal experience at Willow Room. The food was delicious. Butternut squash ravioli had the perfect sweetness from the squash and savoriness from the cream sage sauce. Schnitzel was perfectly crispy. Short rib was super tender and hit the spot. Arancini were flavorful and burrata appetizer had the sweetest tomatoes with the right amount of basil. Ambience was sophisticated yet casual. Not stuffy at all. This may be one of my favorite restaurants in all of Chicago.

    Pushed meal to be servered at one time - salad brought with the main course. All items were ala carte. Lots of kids in the establishment as well.

    Amazing service! We called 2 hours before to add 1 person to our res on a busy Friday night and they did everything they could to get us a table. Great food & ambiance, too!

    My mom and I came for lunch, and each had a bowl of the tortilla soup and split a side of broccolini. The soup was delicious, but the broccolini was the real star! I've also been for dinner and everything is always melt-in-your-mouth and cooked to perfection.

    Food was decent, they did allow a lady with a poodle in her bag in that didn’t appear to be a service dog. We were asked to move tables to accommodate party that brought more people then they had reserved for but gave us a free round of drinks for the inconvenience which was appreciated. A few too many babies for my liking at a brunch so I’ll probably stick to less family friendly neighborhoods in the future.
