Best American Restaurants in Auburn

I’ve been meaning to try Willy’s for a long time after getting a recommendation from a friend. Reservations need to be made well in advance for a booth but we got two seats at the Sushi bar 2 hours ahead. Full menu is available no matter where you sit. I got the 14oz strip steak with truffle butter and au jus, wife got the swordfish w/ beurre blanc. My steak was perfectly medium rare. My wife liked her swordfish but wished she got the steak. We got chocolate cake for dessert to go. Very rich and chocolatey. Overall the space is small and can get fairly lively and loud easily but felt like a good vibe anyway. My wife said they need a coat check for the bar seating it is definitely intimate seating. We had a great date night dinner for a great value and would do it again when we can get a booth.

Table ready as expected. Waitstaff were great. Food and drinks met all expectations. Will frequent often.

We were a party of 4. Three of us had dinner off the specials menu. Petite fillets melted like butter, cooked to perfection. The veal special was delicious. Appetizers: meatballs=yummy Dessert: split the chocolate molten cake and a crème brûlée = also very yummy. Cocktails were spot on. We frequent Nuovo and have never had a bad meal. Tim was our waiter. He was very attentive and did a great job.

Visiting Family lunch on Christmas Eve—staff were helpful, food was fine and offered a good selection.
