They served breakfast only on the weekends aswell.

But they just don't seem to have that attention to detail. The serving staff is spotty - usually friendly, but not top notch. And let's talk about something that bugs us. Multiple times when we ordered the french fries they've come out burnt or in a pile of 1 inch long potatoes. The french fries are delicious and a highlight of the experience, but why they have trouble consistently giving you a nice serving of fries, I don't understand. Additionally, the last two times we've been there we've had to fight off fruit flies. Once - I can understand - a second time, swatting off and slapping fruit flies is not okay. Tipsy - you can do better.

They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

I sat on the patio area and although the weather was decent, it would be nice if the restaurant had some mist machines or light fans or something for guests. I ordered my food and was disappointed in the quality. The steak was very hard and overcooked. When it came time for the bill, my total tab was $29.50. I gave the waitress Barbra (2) $20 bills.. so $40 total. I asked for change back to I could give an appropriate tip. Barbra brought back a $10 bill and shortened me cash... the restaurant was busy and I did wait to see if I could get her attention. I did have things to do today so I just took a loss on my change and left the tip. Just wanted to leave a review in hopes of the restaurant ensuring their wait staff gives customers their change! In this economy every penny counts. I hope they can continue to improve on the ambiance and food quality as well.

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

The gps sent me to a roundabout and told me the restaurant was the center of the roundabout. had to go back to the main road and detour all the way around then there was signs. Its seat yourself.

They had a walleye fish special going on, my friends shared that & fries for their meal. Not much interaction w/ staff as it's mostly help yourself but someone did come out and greet us and made sure we knew how the ordering process worked.

Although it's a bit of a hike outside the city, still not too bad on a weekday and it was nice to get out and try something new! It seems like an up and coming area for Monticello and development nearby. We came right at 5 when the restaurant opens and got a seat in the high tops. NOTE! If you want to partake in the happy hour, you have to either sit at the bar or in the high top tables. We didn't know this and wanted their chicken wings on the happy hour menu so ended up switching tables. In addition to the wings, my husband ordered the corn bread app which was pretty good too! Wasn't a huge fan of the spicy butter it came with, but strange but the bread itself was good. The wings had a good seasoning and the house made ranch was really tasty! Surprised there were only wings and no drumsticks which I prefer and the wings themselves didn't have a whole ton of meat on them so I'd give it 3/5 on the apps I ordered the 12oz New York strip and at market price it was $62, came with broccolini and French fries. My husband got the turkey burger which he wasn't a huge fan of he said but he enjoyed the fries. My New York strip wasn't seasoned well - if at all to be honest but thankfully they had some leftover A1 from Mother's Day brunch where the bartender made some bloody Mary's so that helped. Can't say the food was a knockout but the service was really good. The bartender who was our server was conversational, great dude, and offered great suggestions. Host and folks were also really accommodating when we hopped around the restaurant so we could participate in the HH. All in all, great experience and nice place to try!
