Made an appointment, but when we got there, the host didn't know where to put us. The food was average at best little too salty for my taste. That goes for my seafood linguini, and Fish for my wife. When your dish is too salty for me to taste other flavors in the entree. That's a sure sign of average resrautants in my humble opinion. The place was busy with elderly customers. Maybe their other dishes are better, but I probably won't go back.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for providing thorough details about your dining experience. We remember when the host didn't know if he was to sit you upstairs or downstairs. Him being new is not an excuse because that indicates we have to train him better. As far as the food being salty, we have reviewed your comments with the chef. We were not on the best game with your party and we humbly ask for an opportunity to make it up to you on a future visit.

My date enjoyed her chicken piccata while I thought the seafood linguini, with nice looking seafood components, was only fair because of the boring sauce. The cheesecake was very tasty.
Idylwood GrillResponded on November 15, 2024
Thanks Barry for writing about your dining experience. We're glad your group enjoyed the Chicken Piccata and the cheesecake. We're sorry that the Seafood Linguini was not up to standards. Your feedback has been shared with the Chef to see what can be done about that sauce.

Great, as always. Food quality approaches gourmet without gourmet prices. Twenty minutes from me, but it's worth the trip.

Everyone in our party of six enjoyed their dinners, especially the branzino and the lobster pasta. The rolls were warm and happily replenished.

My first time here and I will probably return. The food was surprisingly good and the service was great. The menu can use some additional choices and the biggest issue we found was the size of our table. At best our table should be used for cocktails not a full dinner. Our dishes were constantly having to be rearranged by our server. All in all , it is worth giving it a try!!!

Loved Idylwood Grill! Was out of town and chose it for my birthday dinner and it was exactly what j wanted. Comfortable, non-pretentious setting, delicious food and reasonable pricing. Reminded me of one of those great neighborhood restaurants that locals frequent - which I guess is exactly what it is!

The food was great. The place was empty for lunch, which made it great for a business lunch. I'll be back again for dinner. They have a great branzino, but it is not on the lunch menu.
Idylwood GrillResponded on October 14, 2024
Juan, thank you for joining us for your business lunch. We look forward to seeing you for dinner so you can try out that delicious Branzino.
