   Our first time at Idylwood Grill and we don't know why we hadn't found this place before. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. My boyfriend and I have been to many top notch restaurants before but this one takes the prize. I had the Salmon Caesar and my BF had the Linguine Cardinals. Both were delicious. My BF says that's the best Cardinale he has ever had. We highly recommend this place for their food, their service and their ambiance. This is our new favorite restaurant.

   Excellent place to eat. Reasonable prices, lots of specials and good quality food. They were about 10 minutes late seating us from our reservation time and took $25 off the bill without us saying a word. Will definitely be back!

   The food was excellent. Got the mixed grill and each meat was cooked perfectly. Partner got the blackened scallops and reported that they were great. Space is nice and appointed well. Only knock was the lighting, a little bright.

   Thanks for dining with us Steve! We're glad to hear the mixed grill and the blackened scallops were excellent. As far as the lighting, it looks like an employee forgot to hit the dimmer. Hope to see you again soon for brunch, lunch or dinner.

   The seafood linguine presentation was very attractive and the taste was amazing. My husband had the jambalaya and thought it was delicious as well. We also shared the avocado salad and German chocolate cake…both were very good. I’d like a repeat of this meal monthly and my husband agrees.

   Alright, not what I have expected. Nice people but need training.
   

   Idylwood GrillResponded on February 27, 2025

   Thank you Roula for dining with us. It sounds like even though the staff members were nice to you, they fell short on some aspects. Please drop us a note when you have a moment so we can work on what we need to improve. We hope you give us another chance to make up our shortcomings on your next visit.

   Once again this restaurant hits the mark. The Duck breast and Mushroom risotto were spot on

   attractive venue, but very busy on a Friday night. Service was good, but very slow with a 7:00 reservation
   

   Idylwood GrillResponded on February 23, 2025

   Thank you Ken for your visit and for letting us know how everything went. We're glad you enjoyed the service and we apologize for what we assume is the food taking longer than expected to be served. All our food is made from scratch, including the sauces, so at times, we experience slow downs. We're working on identifying efficiencies we can implement to make the process quicker. We hope to do better for you next time!

    This was our first time dining here and we loved it! Our reservation was for 6pm and there were only a few other diners, but it started to pick up and was full when we left. The food was all delicious and the wine selection was great. We will definitely be coming back!
