Reviews for Willows of Utica in Utica, NY
Best Utica Greens and Chicken Riggies I have ever had. Tried a bit of the eggplant parmesan (which I am normally not a fan of)... but it was delicious! Portions are huge, enough for a 2nd meal! The gentleman working as the host was extremely nice andfriendly, as was the bartender who handled our order. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Utica! Read more
never have had salmon done in such subtle flavors with through-cooked but not a fraction more; with reception, ordering, service... and well-satisfied others in our party, this was a marvelous reminder that east Utica is awash in fine dining, second to none. wine selection was perfect, martinis hit the spot and 2 dessert for the 4 of us was a perfect combination for a perfect SpringSaturday looking out on Proctor Park.

My boyfriend have ate here multiple times and every meal has been perfect. I highly recommend the salmon, especially. Ethan is... also a great server and we hope to have him as our server every time. They do fill up quickly, so be sure to make reservations! Read more

Absolutely the best meal we've had out in a really long time! I was looking for a nicer place to go for date night and when I... saw the reviews, I knew we had to try it. Everything was so delicious that I can't wait to go back. We're thinking we'll workour way through the menu once a month. Our waiter did a tremendous job! He didn't just help make great suggestions, he wasthoroughly knowledgeable on the entire menu, and he didn't steer us wrong. He knew the food. The bread was so fresh andobviously baked on premises. I'm so glad I didn't skip the butter - even that was delish with a subtle hint of cinnamon sugar.New England Clam Chowder and Bang Bang Shrimp apps were out of this world, and the only reason we tried hard not to eat all ofour entrees was to leave room for one of the many homemade desserts. My salmon was cooked on the rare side as I requested toperfection and my husband loved his chicken and greens. The portions were ample and when it was plated and dressed, it wasn'toverdone. Great care and pride went into putting these dishes out. The Creme Brulee and Maple Bread Pudding - yummy, yummy,especially the bread pudding!! I was extremely surprised to see the bill because I was expecting it to be much more. We'vecertainly wasted a lot more money other times for mediocre food, so this was a really great date night all around, and wound upbeing quite reasonable. Read more
