Willi's Wine - Santa Rosa

Usually love this place. Last night was not such a great experience. Took visitors for dinner. The food and service were good , UNTIL, we had finished and waited 30 minutes for a check. Apparently our waiter had left. I finally got up and found someone to get our check. Then we waited 10 minutes more and no one came to pick it up. Everyone was rushing around cleaning for closing. It was NOT after closing hours. So I finally got up again and gave the check to he bartender. No one seemed to care at all that we were still there. We could have, and perhapws should have, walked out without paying. Maybe that would teach them to pay attention to customers.

This is my second visit after a very long time. My husband and I love the food but we stopped going to this place for a long time since they didn't have cocktails back then but I really love cocktails and I don't drink wine. We decided to check it out again and realized they now have cocktails and we are so happy about it! We got cadillac magarita for drink and it's really good! For food, we got different small plates and everything was so yummy! My favorite is brussel sprouts dish. I can just eat this dish all day everyday. It's probably one of the best brussel sprouts dishes I have ever had! Other great dishes are ahi tuna tartare, goat cheese fritters (a bit too sweet for me since they put a lot of honey on it but still really tasty), and Willi's truffled french fries (so good on its own and you don't even need the sauce that comes with it but also good with the sauce). The decor inside is super pretty. The service was okay today. It took long for our server to come to us. All the staff looked very serious for some reason. One food runner put the dish down and didn't even say the name of the dish. We said thanks but he didn't even say anything back. But other than that, it was a good experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! We will now go to this place for special occasions (and hopefully the service will be better next time).

As always Stark's restaurants do not disappoint. The drinks are phenomenal. Every bite is curtated down to an art. We love Willi's Wine Bar!

WOW, This a gem of a spot for dining!! Willi's Wine Bar is a lovely intimate dining spot. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was superb, well-prepared and with each shared plate, the foods are mouth watering amazing!! The atmosphere was very cozy. The patio was a perfect table for our special birthday celebration. What a fabulous restaurant right here in Santa Rosa!
