"Our group had an excellent experience at The Willows! We brought our own wine to celebrate - someone from security escorted our wine bottles to the restaurant through the casino in case you want to do the same. Each course was delivered by multiple wait staff so everyone was served at the same time. We had such a great time dining and visiting that before we knew it four hours went by! Definately a great place when you want to enjoy your guests as much as the food. I had the scallop special as my entree: amazing!"

"Very disappointed in my food. The restaurant was about 20% occupied so that should have been an indication of quality. Didn't like their wine list either."

"They accommodated our party of 8 by putting us in a semi-private room, which was great. Our waiter was great-- making recommendations, giving us opinion when asked between two entrees for several in the group. Ahi, scallops & filet, halibut entrees were lovely. Beet salad was enjoyed by many of us. We really enjoyed both the food and the service. Highly recommend."

"Food is always amazing, however, I had the salmon special this time and they gave me only a tablespoon of sauce after the waiter had gone into a long description of how amazing the sauce was. I ask for more on the side. Brie appetizer..amazing...and you can never go wrong with any of their beef!!"

"My husband and I have dined at Willows a number of times and on several occasions have taken friends. The menu (food & wine), atmosphere and service keep us coming back for more. We've also celebrated several special occassions at Willows and the staff has always acknowledged the occasion verbally and with some special treat...it feels very personal. Count on us to continue patronzing and recommending The Willows."

"We love to come to the Chumash both to gamble and to go to the boxing matches. We live in nearby Goleta but stay over at the hotel on many occasions. We usually eat at the buffet which is our favorite, but go to the Willows when we are dining with guests who want a formal restaurant setting. The food is always wonderful and the service is fantastic."

"My family and I went to The Willows for Restaurant Week and had a fabulous time! We had reservation for a party of 6 and were placed in a private dining room so we got to enjoy the buzz of the full restaurant while still being able to hear each other. The pre fixe menu was delicious (and so much food!), very high marks for the two entree choices: Pasta Renteria and a braised shortrib. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we all left stuffed and happy. Highly recommend!"
