Well BroadHopper - I certainly can't share your enthusiasm over the Willows!!

My wife and I went there a number of times this season -it's right down the street from our cottage and extremely convenient- Our service was pitifully slow every time. The final straw came one evening this fall when we decided to stop in for cocktails and appetizers only (Sunday nite football) and were told as we entered it would be at least an hour before they could seat us - thinking we were dinner guests -- we told them drinks at the bar would be fine so we joined the 6-8 other folks at the "empty bar" -- Low & behold it got to be 30+ minutes and the barmaid was still ignoring us so we picked up and left -- walked right into Patricks that nite and were served with a smile immediately!!

Willows -- until a name change occurs -- Is off our list !! Shame too it's so close by.
