Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in West Boylston

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was delightful. However, the Carbonara was overpriced for the portion size.

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.

We had a great time at buttermilk and bourbon! The chicken wings were a little dry

We were seated by the window, hoping for a warm and cozy meal on a cold winter evening. Unfortunately, the large windows were very drafty, and we had to keep our coats on the whole time. The cold air was so noticeable that the short curtains were moving. It wasn’t just us—everyone sitting near the windows was bundled up in jackets and scarves, trying to stay warm while eating. The food and service might have been nice, but it was hard to enjoy with the constant chill. Hopefully, the restaurant fixes this because it has the potential to be a great, cozy spot.

Impressed by this establishment. We wanted fine dining in Boston and we got it. I had the halibut and it was amazing. My husband had a steak, also amazing. My daughter and son were able to slit the heritage chicken and it was plenty. Sides are shareable. My husband’s brown sugar old fashioned was Pinterest worthy. I had an espresso martini x 2 with amazing taste and a frosted glass which kept it cold for the little time that it lasted. Ambiance is elegant. They were well decorated for Christmas. Coat check was a nice surprise. The service was impeccable. We will return.
