I will definitely be back and looking forward to try other flavors as well as their cookies. I had the Weekend in Barcelona and my wife had the Apple Cider and Oolong tea with Georgia Peach.”

“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.”

“They had tea, coffee, fairies etc! Great people”

“The pizza was great! we could take our dogs and sit out back. It was great!”

“After being seated we realized the table we were at was not secure and wobbled. The issue was the table top itself needed to be turned several times to tighten it with the base. The server said he would have the table replaced and moved us temporarily to another table. Someone else came out to check the table and also experienced the wobbling top. It was simply pushed back into the corner against the railings on the back and right side. We chose to stay where we were temporarily located as we did not think the table would stay secured. We were accommodated and stayed put but we did notice the next customer placed at the wobbly table also brought it to their server's attention and once again it was pushed more tightly against the railing. So enough about the table. The food was plentiful. We both selected the meatloaf and it was a mini meatloaf and we could only eat half of it! I asked for roasted baby potatoes instead of the potato puree and they were wonderful. The price might have been high but after seeing the quantity it was justified! The dessert, salted caramel cheesecake was unbelievable. The only other issue was the Christmas decorations - white lights in greenery - across the windows and draped along the top of the railing made it hard to actually see the city lights below due to the reflections of all the decoration lights in the windows all around you. Next time we will come during a non-holiday time. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience and met folks next to us from our own home area in Washington!”

“The service, the man up front, I don't know his name was really nice and accommodating. He was welcoming and respectful. The food was just a cherry on top. I wanna come here again to try their other vegan items. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-06”

“Came in on a Wednesday afternoon. Trevor behind the bar was very welcoming. He talked to myself and my BF. He complimented me on my shirt. Told us about the area. The service was on point and you can't beat a beer with an amazing view price aside.”

“As an Idy Local, this is one of my favorite places to eat. My husband loves the Combination Fried Rice and I always get the Teriyaki Beef Combination Plate with Egg Rolls instead of CA Rolls. Jay is one of the nicest guys in Idyllwild.”

“the coffee is very good 🤤☺️”

“Amazing food and great atmosphere! We love coming here.”

“We love coming to this restaurant with are grandchildren. The view is spectacular, the food is the best, but what makes it even better is the service. Our server Wendy was the best; she made the whole experience so enjoyable. Thank you to everyone.”

“We had a pleasant lunch at this open air bistro. The live music was nice and there plenty of umbrellas on the patioo. The food was good but somewhat uneven both in presentation and portion size. With our sandwiches we got a tiny, tiny scoop of potato salad and one thin slice of watermelon. The homemade bread was delicious and the fresh apple pie slice was very generous.”
