Willow Hill Grill - Northbrook

We are excited to visit Willow Hill's new restaurant soon. When we had an issue with our previous reservation, the staff was incredibly helpful and continues to provide excellent assistance. If the restaurant is even half as impressive as their Director of Events, Food Bev, we are certainly in for a delightful experience.

The fish fry was disappointing. There were only two small pieces of fish, and they were burnt. We were really looking forward to our visit, but it fell short of our expectations. Additionally, the menu was quite limited, which wasn't clearly stated on their website.

We had a reservation for 7:39 on Friday night. As soon as we walked in, there was a strong smell of fish. To our surprise, we found out that there were only two options available that evening: fish fry or grilled chicken. We were seated right away but had to wait 15 minutes before being informed about our dining choices. Our waitress was very friendly. I chose the chicken, while my husband opted for the fish. About 10 minutes later, the waitress returned to let us know that there was no more fish available, so my husband had to choose from the regular menu instead. He ended up enjoying a dinner salad while I waited for my chicken. The chicken was delicious, and I also really liked the coleslaw and homemade chips. However, the corn muffin would have been much better if it had been served warm. It would be nice if they could serve these warm in baskets before the meals arrive. As the restaurant began to clear out, I noticed that loud music started playing. The waitstaff should consider waiting until the patrons have left before turning up the volume. It also seemed like there was no manager present.

Food and service were very good. Noise level was a little high. We will definitely be back.

Surprisingly beautiful venue. Very friendly staff. Good food.
