I came here on a seasonably cool and dry Thursday night in late October during a work trip to the area. I didn’t have a reservation but at around 730pm there seemed to be several open tables available. I sat at the bar which also had ample seating.

The thing that struck me most about the restaurant upon arrival is how uninviting the building look from the exterior. All of the shutters were closed and there was minimal lighting to the point I was questioning if the place was even open. Inside the restaurant is a little dated and cold, but it feels like a traditional suburban steak house vibe.

At the bar, there were two bartenders who were lovely and attentive. I ordered the crab cake. I believe my meal came with dinner rolls which were delicious, warm, and fresh. I also thought it was one of the best crab cakes I’d had in a while. The wine also tasted great and was a hearty pour. There is a separate bar menu but when I was there, I was able to order my meal off the full restaurant menu.

There didn’t seem to be anything outstanding or innovative with the restaurant, but that’s ok. They seem to understand how to deliver on what they are selling which is often appreciated.

I would recommend and I would go back.

It was my first time there for date night. I ordered the lobster ravioli, which I hated. The smell was too strong, too much seafood in one plate. The smell of the broth was strong. My husband had the salmon and it was terrible, risotto was undercooked and had beans on the salmon, nope. We did request something different and were able to get the cauliflower steak, which was the most delicious thing I ever ate. It was warm and just amazing. I would go there daily just to buy it. For appetizer I had the calamari and it was so wonderful, but they didn’t give enough sauce for my liking, we ran out of sauce to dip the calamari in.

I was staying in the area and wanted to eat at a very nice restaurant. Didn’t start off good as the restaurant didn’t have my reservation but George the owner accommodated me very quickly. The rest of the experience was A++ great service by TIA and the food was outstanding. Thanks again for a great experience!!

My wife and I got the tomahawk for two, and it was absolutely delicious. This menu item was a four course meal including: starter, soup or salad entree, and dessert. the waitstaff was incredibly knowledgeable when it came to the ingredients of the food to help with my wife’s allergies. when it came to our entree, they gave us extremely hot plates and reset the table. the kitchen pre-cut the steak for us, and the server even served us our first pieces. Itwas quite an experience!

We didn’t make a reservation but were given a table right away. Our waitress was very professional and on her game. The food was phenomenal. I had the lobster ravioli and my date had the Prime NY strip. We enjoyed our date and would definitely come back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining with friends at Willoughby’s on the Park to celebrate a birthday (not my own). We began the evening with expertly crafted cocktails, accompanied by a bottle of Moët, setting an elegant tone for the meal. For starters, we all chose the lobster bisque — a dish I often gravitate toward, and I must say, this rendition was exceptional, perhaps one of the finest I’ve ever had.

For my main course, I opted for the special Wagyu steak priced at $79.00, with an added lobster tail. The steak, a true indulgence, was a sublime melt-in-your-mouth experience, cooked to perfection. The restaurant also presented a lovely birthday dessert, and Marci, our attentive and gracious server, ensured that our experience was seamless and enjoyable throughout the evening.

While the overall experience was indeed memorable, there were a few aspects where attention to detail could enhance the fine dining experience. First, the table setting: the individual bread-and-butter plate was placed at the center of each of our pacesetting instead of to the right of silverware (Cheesecake Factory sets this way, but they aren’t formal dining), and we had no individual butter knife on that plate. Although the butter knife was provided on the communal butter plate, each guest should ideally have their own butter knife to elegantly butter their bread. As it stood, we were left to use our main course knife for this purpose, which is less than ideal in a fine dining setting.

On a more positive note, steak knives were appropriately brought out with the main courses, adding a touch of precision to the meal. However, I was slightly disappointed by the water glasses. While the wine glasses were a sophisticated touch, the water glasses were more reminiscent of a casual breakfast juice glasses, which detracted from the otherwise refined setting.

In conclusion, the atmosphere at Willoughby’s on the Park is undeniably charming, with its elegant chandeliers setting a refined ambiance. The food, without question, was superb. However, a few small adjustments to the finer details — particularly in the table setting and glassware — would elevate the experience to match the exceptional quality of the cuisine. As I often remind my students in formal dining instruction, the magic truly lies in the details.

We had our annual Christmas dinner here recently for our company. Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. One of the best filets I’ve had in a long time!

Came here for the first time after finding it online and everything was absolutely spectacular. From the walk-in greeting to the ambiance and cleanliness, we were impressed from the start. We got the Wagyu for two — it came with salad, a starter, and dessert — and it was absolutely worth it. Marcie was our server and she was so knowledgeable and kind. We’ll definitely be coming back often!

This is a top quality dining experience, especially for berks county. I have lived in Philly for a few years, and Willoughby’s seriously rivals some of the restaurants there. The atmosphere is on point, service is attentive, and, most importantly, the food is stellar. I can’t recommend it enough and will be the new go to spot when I’m in town visiting my parents.

Great place. Service was great, prices were good. The food was excellent. My fiance said it was the best filet mignon she ever had! We have been all over the place including notable steakhouses in pennsylvania, new york, and deleware.
