Willies Modern Fare in Rancho Mirage

At last, had the chance to meet friends here for a cocktail.Arrived at 5:00 p.m. and help open it for the evening. Ordered an old fashioned...superb.Stayed in the lounge area...ordered Sheperds pie...excellent. Looking forward to going back.

Went here after reading reviews. We had a good experience. Our waiter was top notch. Food was delicious. We did prime rib, beef stroganoff, short rib, and farro. We all enjoyed and would go back.

Willies was an amazing and delightful experience. Every staff member was extremely friendly, courteous, and welcoming. The food was phenomenal. Short ribs melted in your mouth and the pork chop was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The combination of flavors in the Butterscotch Pineapple Trifle was over the top and a culinary masterpiece. The trio of Creme Brulee was a treat for the tastebuds. Kudos and applause to the Chef!

Nice new place - Good Vibe and very clean - Came in on a Saturday and it was not too crowded. For some reason they sat us in a back corner which was not bad but it felt a bit cramped. Waiter was good and made some nice suggestions for 3 course dinner menu. If you plan to order dessert with coffee make you sure they bring your coffee with your dessert not after 😊 We will be back and probably try their nice bar area.

Sometimes I think about the motivation behind naming conventions of restaurants and how the demographic interprets those like on a subconscious plane. On the surface Willies seems pedestrian enough and most likely named after the owner or their favorite family pet or something. But what occurs below the surface is what fascinates me. What if the name of the restaurant was designed to trigger a deep feeling or memory of past life in a body or as an entity many times or cycles before you. Would you dream of the Chicken Marsala in your past life as a coat hanger?

I just love this place. Its simple, easy, and has great service and good food. I especially enjoy the lounge where I can easily pop in for a quick bite after work, with prices that wont break the bank. Fried chicken? Yes, please.

I celebrated my birthday with high tea at Willie’s This past Sunday with 14 friends. Each of the guest was in awe of the table presentation, the tea service, and the remarkable culinary delights. We enjoyed over two hours of festivities and outstanding service. Will be doing this again and again whether for two or 10, I cannot say enough about the experience.

One of the best meals we’ve had in the Desert—and we are hard to impress! Prime rib was amazing. Huge menu. Vegan options were incredible. Everything done perfectly!

Excellent service like old times. They really know how to treat a customer. The food was amazing and the whole experience was fabulous. Definitely now one of our favorite restaurants. Strongly recommend.

The atmosphere is welcoming and contemporary while still being comfortable. The staff were all friendly and attentive. The beef stroganoff was the best I have ever had. Will definitely be back soon.
