I had dinner at Willow Bistro last evening. I ordered the stuffed hot peppers for an appetizer, the filet kabob for my main course, and a New York cheesecake for dessert. The hot peppers were definitely hot, but not too hot. The fillet kabob came with a salad and rice. I ordered it to be cooked medium rare and it was perfect. The cheesecake was about twice the size that I was expecting. It was excellent as well. I was also served some complimentary bread. Overall, my dining experience last night was excellent. I live just a few minutes from Willow Bistro. I have been there many times and have never had a meal that did not meet or exceed my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I plan to keep going back. - Terry R. (Canton, Ohio) read more

Staff pleasant and helpful. Lots of food options and the four of us all enjoyed our meal choices.

Wow! Was truly blown away by the quality of food! I had the steak kabobs. They were cooked perfectly. It came with a salad that was dressed just right. The crab cake appetizer was delish. Tried a grapefruit martini and a salted caramel martini-both great! The service was really good and the atmosphere was cozy. read more

Cocktail review only. We stopped in on a Saturday night for an after dinner drink. Grabbed two seats at the bar and really enjoyed the lively atmosphere. It was like a party going on! Everyone was having a great time and it reminded me of the pre-Covid days. Speaking of pre-Covid...I was surprised to see the bartenders not wearing masks. I had the special espresso martini and they can definitely mix up a drink. Cold, strong, and tasted amazing. Will definitely go back for dinner next time we are in town. read more

A local small business gem, Willow Bistro is tucked away and provides a great ambiance for a good dinner. Their wine menu is outrageous! Whether you want a $20 bottle of wine or a $300 bottle of wine, they have it! Great appetizers - truly recommend the meatball skillet and the peppers and sausage! While they have a great pork chop my go to are the chicken or beef kabobs. It comes with a great salad and wonderful Syrian rice. I'm not a seafood person but my friends love their seafood selection! Always fresh fish on the daily specials. The restaurant is small and intimate and when the weather is warm they have a beautiful outside bar and seating area. If you haven't been you need to go!! read more

Dear Yelpers, Tucked away in a hidden plaza in the slower part of Canton you'll run into a little cozy dinner they call Willow Bistro. I'll admit, walking in I was a little skeptical. The decor may be a little dated but don't let the dilapidated look fool you, whoever is back there in the kitchen can COOK. First I had the hot Hungarian soup. A true winner for meatatarians like myself. Then I ordered the pork chop and my fiancé fell victim to the salmon. Both were excellently cooked but the pork chop crushed my expectations. If you closed your eyes, you may think you were dining at the best steakhouse around! Now, I will admit, this was easily 2 star service. Things were pretty busy for a Monday night in Canton, but it was an extremely long wait. Luckily, the food and the lovely manager who brought out the free cheesecake made this an experience to remember! Your friendly neighborhood foodie P.S. Make sure to get a bottle of Caymus Cab if you are looking for a good drink! read more

An amazing hidden gem in Canton, Ohio! The pork chop is the best I have ever had!! The service was spot on and their crafted drinks were phenomenal read more

Hidden Gem! Had family from out of town visiting and Willow was a fantastic recommendation from one of my coworkers. Hunter was a wonderful waitress and offered some great suggestions. The food was spot on! My favorite was the stuffed hot peppers. Definitely not for the faint of heart-haha. I personally ordered the chicken parmesan and though it was delicious I did think the breading was a little heavy handed. Overall I had a lovely time with family and it was a great experience! read more

We had a great anniversary dinner here. We did call ahead for reservations on a Friday night. The host and waitress were very nice.

Food was great service was excellent. I highly recommend your place!I got the salmon and it was cooked to perfection.

Great for a late night dinner. Food was very good. Service was good. It is a surprisingly cute place in a strip mall.

Food was not good for the price you pay. The baked potato was reheated from Thursday and what I got Friday night- horrible. Everything is way overpriced. I will not be back. Terrible! read more

Last night we were invited by friends to join them at The Willow for a birthday celebration. We had never eaten here before and were intrigued. It's a smallish place quaint but well decorated. Noisy, if you are looking for a quiet dinner spot this is not the place to go. Staff was very welcoming, informed and ready to answer any questions. Now on to the good stuff .... the food!!! We started with 2 appetizers stuffed peppers, and shrimp. Peppers were not very spicy but amazing. Cooked to perfection. Worth going just for those. The shrimp were also great! I thought it was a classy touch that the owner stopped by and small talked us after our meal. I ordered the filet kabob a d my wife ordered Poppy's lemon chicken. Me meal was delectable. Tender, tasteful, the salad was delicious and the rice was a great side dish. But the Poppy's Lemon chicken stole the show. Where has this been my entire adult chubby life?!?!? Breaded to perfection, moist and that lemon flavor.... wow!!! This is the stuff that gives you hunger pains and the only thing that can cure it is not more cowbell but more Poppy's lemon chicken Needless to say we will be going back very soon and I will be ordering some of that lemon chicken read more

good service good menu with the best mac n cheese. i've ever had with good ambiance. Enjoyable for a full meal or just apps and drinks i've celebrated several birthdays here in the past. read more

I went here for my birthday dinner with my family, the food was phenomenal. I love that the butter is seasoned for the bread, the white french dressing for the salad was amazing. pretty much my whole family order the prime rib, but I ordered the drunken pasta. the prime rib was huge and cooked perfectly. the drunken pasta had amazing flavor and the portion was huge. lastly my boyfriend ordered the willow burger with a side of smoked gouda mac and cheese, both of those had amazing flavor. the food is definitely worth going for, all of it was truly amazing. the only thing is, the owner was walking around hugging people she knew without a mask on and didn't even come by our table to see how we were doing. the host was also not wearing a mask and the tables were not six feet apart. These small things are not a deal breaker on the experience, I was just very confused how they could get away with it. read more

My wife and I visited here last night. We started with the crab cake appetizer and then I had the prime rib special with linguine alfredo and she had the scallop special with risotto. Everything from the service to the food was VERY good! Definitely recommend going to Willow Bistro! read more

Love Willow! Best prime rib in the area! Really good wine list, great sides, and awesome service.

I called to order takeout and they man who answered the phone was very rude. How does a restaurant not do takeout?

We were invited here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised with how good everything tasted and the quality of service. It is located in an unassuming strip plaza so I'm sure many pass by and don't think its anything special. Our table had the pork chop, lemon chicken and chicken parm. All of our food was served hot and full of flavor. I loved that the lemon chicken was topped with fresh lemon and was super juicy. The entrees also came with a side salad which was nice. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised with our dining experience and recommend those to visit for a nicer but not over the top meal. read more

When we travel back to Ohio, we usually take my parents here to thank them for letting us stay with them. It's a win win! Although we have only gone on a Friday or Saturday, since those are the prime rib nights! So this restaurant is in a strip mall and you might pass it by... but don't! The food is super tasty although a bit expensive due to the high end nature of the restaurant. The ambiance is nice and it feels like a white table cloth restaurant once you are inside. My wife and I have been here a few times and always get a prime rib and a daily special to split. The prime rib is enormous! Even the 12 oz is more than enough meat to satisfy anyone. This past visit we had the jumbo scallops special drizzled in a balsamic reduction and on top of spinach risotto. Oh my goodness! These scallops were amazing! We have had some great scallops in several major metropolitan cities and there held their own. Now onto the main attraction, the prime rib. For some reason my family just loves prime rib. Willow does an excellent job and their meat is always full of flavor and tender. You also get a side salad and side, which this time I got the pasta which hit the spot. The staff has always been professional and attentive. If you are looking for a nice meal to celebrate a birthday or event, definitely give them a look! They do take reservations as well. read more

In town for a wedding and chose Willow because it had good reviews, close-by and not a chain. Although it was early they only had seats at bar available. While my experience expectations dropped at the thought of bar eating, they were quickly dispelled by the warm welcome and great service. It was a hot day and the chilled moscato was a perfect accompaniment to the drunken pasta. It was nicely seasoned and had a generous amount of Italian sausage. Honestly we could have ordered one serving because it is A LOT. However we agreed the fight for the sausage would have left both less than happy . Only complaint I could have was the entree came out too fast on the heels of the salad But I'd rather that than wait fir food. Great place. Go and enjoy read more

Food was fresh and exceeded our expectations. Pork chops are excellent-hats off to the chef. Atmosphere is cool and prices are reasonable for the quality and attention given to the prep.congrats Willow Bistro for a class act. We will be back to try the entire menu! read more

Seriously a hidden gem in Canton. The food was out of this world, the staff was so pleasant and upbeat, the owner checked in on us numerous times to make sure we were satisfied sitting at the bar in lieu of a table. Highly recommend trying this place out. read more

We love this place! The food is always good, the staff and bartenders are GREAT and the only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because the owner ruined our last visit there. She is rude, doesn't care about her staff and sits at the bar drinking. We only go in about twice a month, but if she is there next time we show up we will turn around and go somewhere else. read more

We recently moved near 44th street in Canton from Hartville. So we've started to try different restaurants in our immediate area. We have eaten at the bistro and ordered to go a half dozen times. The food has always been outstanding, whether seated or "to go".. Better yet is the outstanding service and the friendly manner of everyone that we've met there. It starts when you walk in the door. Willow has become a habit with us because they've never failed to impress us. read more

I had reservations for 2 at 5:30. When I gave my name, I was greeted with, "Right, table for 4." I politely stated it was for 2. Then we were seated at a high table in the entry way. I asked if we could have a low table since the majority were empty. I was told those were reserved. Umm... so now I know I must reserve a low table. As I was waiting for my friend I realized that there werr e empty high tables so I requuested one oof then to get out of the way of traffic. The owner/manager told me he had never desly worth someone as difficult as me! I was at a half full restaurant and I realized the crowd would arrive later. Finally he moved me to a low table but told me that he needed the table by 7:30. I told him he made me feel unwanted. I seriously thought about leaving but my friend wanted dinner there. I ordered the filet kabob which was $30. A little pricy. I ordered it med rare but it was closer to med well. However, by now I wasn't going to say anything. The rice was gummy. I will not be going back due to the way I was treated. I will say in my way out the manager/owner apologized. The waitress was a ten and went out of her way to assure great service. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Canton, great service and food! This will definitely be on our rotation of date night restaurants!

This place is wonderful! We walked in and were greeted with a smile. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and don't even get me started on the food!! The wine list is well thought out. It's refreshing to go to a restaurant in this area and find high end product along with a hometown feel! I told my husband that I felt like we were attending an upscale dinner party at a friend's house. I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The pork chop was incredible! read more
