This is a lovely restaurant that treats you very specially. They encourage you to take your time and have drinks before even thinking about food...In our case we had a show to go to and they were great about handling our less leisurely needs. The food was superb. There were 4 of us, everyone had a drink, and a different starter and entree, and they were all thoroughly enjoyed. Not a scrap left. They have a famous and lively happy hour, but we were in the main dining area. Highly recommend this local gem!

We brought our friends to Willie's last evening and they were quite impressed when we were seated at the Chef's Table in the lovely private dining area. It was a perfect location for the 6 of us to chat and catch-up over drinks before dinner. Our waiter, Kevin, was terrific. Friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and a great tour guide of the menu. He recommended the Chilean sea bass, which I ordered, and it was perfectly prepared & delicious. Others enjoyed your always terrific prime rib and were also very pleased with their choice. Willie's is definitely one of our go-to restaurants in the Coachella Valley. Great food, personable staff and ice-cold cocktails all enjoyed in very comfortable surroundings.

We went to Willie’s for Brunch today. As always, the service and food was excellent. My Tuna Nicoise Salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a wonderful restaurant whether eating in the dining room or Bar area. We’re very fortunate to have this great restaurant nearby.
