“The service from Sophia at Peaks Restaurant was five stars. She was a kind and attentive waiter. The atmosphere is quiet, so having a good conversation at the table is not a problem at all. I arrived for the lunch menu and my wife ordered a chicken sandwich with a salad on the side. I ordered the steak sandwich, as Sophia had recommended, and asked to have it cooked rare. Both sandwiches were very delicious. The ingredients used were fresh. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Aerial Tramway.”

“Working with Tommy’s Kitchen during our time in Idyllwild was a fantastic experience! Our small film crew from Los Angeles has several dietary restrictions, but Chef Tommy exceeded our expectations. Our team raved about his delicious food and left the trays empty! Chef Tommy's patience and flexibility made this experience truly worthwhile. I highly recommend his services for future film and TV productions.”

“We stopped in on a busy Memorial Day weekend. Leanna was our server and enjoyed her sharing the story of the place. She made the visit great.

I enjoyed a wine flight and others had stouts. They complimented the stout. We ordered charcuterie and the flat bread with ham. One star down that the flat bread wasn’t hot, but that didn’t stop us from eating it. The cheese and meats were fine. The date wrapped in bacon was the best.

The live music was as great and we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for a lovely time.”
