    Chicken sandwich

    The server was very attentive and accommodating to our request. Very nice relaxed atmosphere.

    We almost arrived a few minutes late and they will not extend your reservation FYI but definitely recommend making a reservation if possible the wait is LONG. I got a maple latte and it was good but the ladies who got the smores lattes were really impressed! I got the mushroom omelette and side salad and they were both AMAZING! everyone loved their food and drinks. Service was great and inside was gorgeous but a bit crowded.

    Absolutely loved this spot. The aesthetics of the place are beautiful, warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding, which always makes the experience even better. We ordered the French Toast Bites, Breakfast Burger, Black Garlic Burger, and the Ranchero Scramble, and everything was delicious. The flavors were on point, portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. The Black Garlic Burger was a standout, but honestly, there wasn't a single miss. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. 10/10 !!!!

    Came her for brunch! Place is located in a corner of a busy street downtown. They have parking in the back of the restaurant. Cute decor with a couple of lighted trees in the middle of the restaurant. We had reservations so we were seated right away. We started with two apps mini brioche French toast and the Frittata bites! Both were outstanding the frittatas came with a side sauce that was amazing! We shared a couple of entrees and stuck with lunch. Spinach and Squash Salad, Goddess chicken sandwich grilled with a tomato bisque, and So-Cal grilled chicken. All were perfectly cooked what stood out was the tomato bisque soup creamy, rich and just the right amount of sweetness. By the way place is BYOB! I will be back!

    Very cute place, great drink options and hard to choose between breakfast and lunch with so many food options. Server was very nice and managed our large group well. We started with the French toast bites and lemon ricotta bites, I liked the French toast bites way more than the lemon ones.

    Festive Vibe, Fantastic Food, and Friendly Service! Willow & Whisk is an absolute gem nestled in the rustic Short Hills downtown. From the moment we walked in, the interior impressed us--it's festive, beautifully decorated, and creates such an amazing, positive vibe. Tip: Best to have a reservation for your meal. Our experience was elevated by our waitress, who was genuinely friendly and incredibly nice, making our entire family feel welcome. The food was uniformly excellent. We started with the Greek Yogurt Bowl (granola and berries) which was perfectly yummy and fresh. We also ordered the Shishito Peppers (my sister grabbed them quick!), which were nice and served with a zesty dip and a slice of lemon. Here's what everyone loved for their main dishes: * My Daughter's Pick: The So-Cal Breakfast Bowl was a huge hit! It came piled high with breakfast potatoes, black beans, pico de gallo, sharp Wisconsin cheddar, and a sunny-side up egg, all finished with a roasted tomato aioli. She raved about it. * My Son's Choice: He kept it classic with the Willow Burger and a side of fresh fruit, and gave it two thumbs up. * My Wife's Dish: She thoroughly enjoyed her Turkey Panini Sandwich on ciabatta bread with a side house salad. The sandwich was sophisticated, featuring sliced roasted turkey, Asian pear, fontina, arugula, and a subtle strawberry-balsamic glaze--a perfect mix of savory and sweet. * My Meal: I went for the Black Garlic Burger (bacon-onion jam, arugula, manchego cheese, black garlic aioli, brioche bun). It was incredibly juicy and flavorful--definitely a standout burger! For drinks, the Maple Harvest Latte (flavored with cardamom) was warm, unique, and truly nice. We highly recommend Willow & Whisk for anyone looking for a wonderful, high-quality family meal in a beautiful setting. We can't wait to go back!

    Rancheros scrambled
    Kiran Y.

    Relatively new restaurant opened in the heart of Millburn Great service Great food and a wide selection of cocktails and mocktails We went here for brunch on a weekday. It's really tough to get a weekend reservation. On the weekday itself, it was pretty crowded. Almost all the tables were full. We tried an omelette, rancheros scrambled , egg brunch burger and a few sides So would suggest to reserve in advance and there is also a lot of parking available

    SoCal Breakfast Bowl
    Kristin F.

    First time visiting Willow and Whisk and it definitely didn't disappoint! The interior decor is beautiful and contemporary, showcasing a faux willow tree of lights in the center of the restaurant. W&W's menu offers brunch and lunch options with a variety of specialty mocktails, coffee and lattes, and juices. They also serve alcohol as well! What we ordered: Masala Chai Latte (personal rating: 7/10) So-Cal breakfast bowl (8/10) Lem-Berry Spritzer (6/10) Strawberry Compote French Toast (8/10) We really enjoyed our brunch overall and would love to come back! Service was great and food came out fairly quick. Highly recommend booking a reservation ahead of time because it gets pretty packed! We went on a Saturday morning at 9am and it was packed!

    Cinnamon swirl pancakes
    Molly F.

    Fantastic brunch spot located in the heart of Millburn. They take reservations but also set aside tables for walk ins as well. I went around 12pm on a Saturday with no reservation. I was told the wait was an hour, but it was much less than that. Highly recommend getting the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes to start for the table. I had the Turkey Club sandwich as my meal and it was fresh, crisp and delicious. My friend got the breakfast bowl and was raving about it as well.

    Fries
    Madaline C.

    Such a cute brunch spot! It's sometimes tricky to get a reservation (though apparently 70% is walk-ins), and even on a Friday morning it was a little busy, but totally worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the menu has so many options. The inside is super adorable, and service was fast and reliable. They don't do bottomless mimosas, but the pitchers are perfect. Honestly a great spot for a casual catch up w friends!

    Arnold Palmer and Bloody Mary
    Lauren N.

    Willow & Whisk in Millburn is just as stunning as their Wyckoff location, with a similar ambiance and beautiful, bright interior. We went during lunchtime on a Friday and it was packed, but we were able to grab the last seats at the bar. The food was so good! My husband and I shared a bowl of potato leek soup- perfect for a chilly day. He ordered the crispy shallot burger with sweet potato fries and I went with the BLT. Both were so tasty. I loved the combo of the perfectly cooked bacon with the aioli and rosemary focaccia. For drinks, we went with an Arnold Palmer and Bloody Mary (mocktail)- the latter having just the right amount of zing to it. Willow & Whisk is the perfect brunch spot. I'm looking forward to our next visit already!

    Kat C.

    Best BYOB brunch spot in Millburn. Super spacious and pretty dining room with friendly staff. The food is quite delicious and a very nice variety on the menu. The vibe is super energetic and you can enjoy your table as long as you need (within reason). Definitely a great new addition to Millburn downtown.

    Breakfast Classic
    Ana N.

    As soon as you walk in you're greeted by beautiful light up trees! The food was outstanding! Service was polite and the food came out quickly! There was a wait time so I recommend making a reservation. It's BYOB and they sell mixers, but they also sell drinks if you don't bring your own.

The venue itself is decent, especially the back garden room, which is the nicest space in my opinion. It has large glass windows and a nice ambiance, especially in the evening. However, they often have multiple events going on at once, and if your party isn't clearly directed to the right room, it can get confusing. Parking is free but limited, and it can be a hassle depending on how busy the night is. Food is hit or miss since it's usually buffet-style. Some items are okay. Like the spare ribs they're known for but overall it doesn't always taste freshly prepared and can sometimes be overly salty. The bar is also inconsistent; I've had well-made drinks, but other times they've been watered down. On one visit, I even found a bug in my drink, but the bartender did replace it without issue.
