after the pels game last night, wife and i were hungry so we walked down to willa jean for the first time. it wasnt packed to the gills, which is what has stopped us from trying it before
i had a beer and the wife a well made cocktail.
we started with a really good pimento cheese appetizer, with some smoked ham, crackers and pickled veggies. the pimento cheese was light and well seasoned, not dense at all. this was very good
wife got a kale caesar salad with roasted cauliflower, i got a braised rabbit pasta with roasted veggies and wild mushrooms. the rabbit dish was incredible, and contrasted well with bites of her salad. the two dishes together worked perfectly. really fine eats
we had a nother round of drinks, coffee, and split a satsuma creamcicle dessert with carrot sorbet...excellent
the server was in a great mood, and we enjoyed the banter back and forth. she earned a generous tip
one of the better meals ive had in a while, we'll be back to try more stuff

It's usually very easy to get in there in the evening. Weekend mornings are an entirely different story.
It's interesting that the amount of baked goods for sale up front have been decreasing steadily.

Re: baked goods in the front case, I went in just after it opened and got sticker shock on the pastries (and I'm not averse to paying silly prices for very well made items). Went back a couple months later, and the prices of the same items had decreased a bit (I'm specifically recalling a pistachio croissant, though there were others). On a recent visit, everything in the case seemed tired. So it's clearly becoming a restaurant, not really a retail bakery.
Meanwhile, La Boulangerie is getting a little better and Gracious is opening a St Charles Avenue location.

Willa Jean's is a gem right there.
When I lived in the CBD it was on my monthly rotation for sure.
Grilled cheese and tomato basil
Goat cheese and grilled figs
