Welcome to Willow of Ithaca!

Dear Friends,

    As many of you know, Amy and I have owned Willow since its opening in 2001.  In that time we have created and shared many memories, which we will treasure forever, with you and our staff.
    Over the past eight years, we were involved with many local events, something very important to us since we grew up in Ithaca.  On Thursday June 18th we will be saying goodbye and closing Willow.  We decided to take a business opportunity and move in a different direction.  We feel that Willow has been a wonderful success over the eight years and are pleased to close on a high positive note.  We couldn't have been such a success without your loyal patronage and we are truly grateful.
    We have also been extremely lucky to have found an amazing staff, whom Amy and I love and call our family.  They are Jack, Lucy, Ray, Charity, Elise, Parry, Robbie, Milo, Ellen, Jeff, Bethany, Alyssa & Will.  They have supported and dedicated themselves to the success of Willow and Amy and I want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
    We will miss serving you all but don't worry: we will be staying around Ithaca.  Cooking is my passion and art and I will continue to create.

Many Thanks Ithaca for Eight Wonderful Years,

Sean, Amy & Finn

Nestled in the quiet Fall Creek neighborhood north of downtown Ithaca, New York, Willow is just casual enough to stop by for a martini after work, and just fancy enough for a special dinner on the town.  We're right next to Fall Creek Pictures at the north end of North Tioga Street, and just two blocks west of the beautiful Ithaca Falls.

Here is what some of our recent customers have thought of their experiences at Willow:

"A wonderful evening!  After spending over 4 years in Ithaca, I finally heard about this restaurant through a recommendation.  I will certainly recommend it to others!  Thanks so much - delicious!"

"Really delicious as always.  I think the chef has extrordinary talent & I hope you are here for many years to come.  Great staff and atmosphere too!"

"I researched many restaurants and thought Willow would be great, but it surpassed all expectations.  Great dinner & service was exceptional."
