We had a great meal here. Drinks and service was amazing too! Not sure why they’re getting a 4.2. Give them a try, you’ll love your meal.

I had the filet mignon. It had wonderful flavor, was tender and cooked perfectly. Probably my top five steaks I’ve had in my life. I also had the Georgia peach hand pie. While it had a decent flavor, it was supposed to come with vanilla ice cream. They must have been out so they served it with rocky road. Not a good combo in my opinion. Waiter was nice and attentive

Ate here for dinner and daily during breakfast while staying at the Westin. They have screened in porch which allows you to enjoy the beautiful weather and beach views without being attacked by mosquitoes. Everything we ate was delicious! For dinner we had the short rib papardalle and the red fish along w the Georgia market salad. The entree portions were a good size but the salad was tiny for the price. For breakfast we tried the southern biscuit sandwich, avocado toast (added eggs), and the frittata and they were all delicious. The fruit cup is very fresh. I celebrated my birthday here and they surprised me with a peach cobbler cinnamon bun which was so nice! It was also very fresh and delicious. Service for the most part was quite good except one morning near the end of breakfast when it was quite slow even though there weren’t many people eating. Overall our servers were friendly, helpful, and prompt but could see service being an issue during peak season.

Had breakfast and late night food during our stay. Every plate was enough for two. Bartenders very knowledgeable and they make a great Old Fashion.

We came here after 10pm because we'd had a mix-up at another restaurant and needed dinner late. The staff took such good care of us - they got me wings, which were really tasty, as well as great cocktails from the bar. I highly recommend the amazing staff here! Extra props to Demetrius for being the best bartender!!

This restaurant is attached to the Westin and offers some delicious southern food. We ate here for breakfast and dinner and both times were great! I would recommend the Chicken Biscuit and French Toast for breakfast. The Peach Cobbler was good, I just think it needed a little more peach. The outdoor seating was amazing! You get views are the ocean, while in a screened in porch. If we are back in the area we will definitely return!

It's a hotel restaurant, so you automatically set your expectations low. Don't waste your mental energy doing that. The food here is fantastic, the service is spot on, and the atmosphere is really great! From Madison at the host stand, who was so kind and welcoming, to or waiter, Drew, who knew the menu up one side and down the other and was able to communicate about each dish, listened to us and our tastes, and made great recommendations and wine pairings, dinner was pretty awesome. And the food was great too, so good job to the kitchen. 5+ stars.

We had our 10th anniversary dinner at Willet's Lowcountry tonight. We wanted a nice dinner, but the options on the island are slim and the website and reviews seemed like this was our best bet. I am so happy we chose this restaurant! We both opted for a house coctail and they were both perfect. The food was delicious. I had the short ribs and papradelli and my husband had the shrimp boil. Both dishes were generous, but not overwhelming, and absolutely perfectly done. The Kellie creme brulee' is my newest obsession... a must try!! Emily, our server was on point, professional and extremely personable... if and when we come back we will absolutely ask for her! I can not recommend this place enough!
