Dog Friendly Restaurants Mountain Center

“This is a rustic stop on the palms to pines highway. The food here is always amazing and the staff is down to earth friendly. It's worth trying out new things on this menu, because I've never had anything that's disappointed.“

“In the early stages of The COVID-19 Experience, like everyone else in the world, my husband and I faithfully obeyed the quarantine regimen. We enjoyed it in the beginning, making up recipes to use up the food in the cabinets , playing dominoes, cocktail hour ( that was way more than an hour and started a little earlier than standard time). It was almost fun. But by week 7 or 8, cabin fever struck. Depression struck. Fear and anxiety overwhelmed. I thought life as we knew it was done. I thought we'd never enjoy anything again. Then I read something about a restaurant " up the hill" . It had somehow figured out a way to serve people delicious food in the gorgeous outdoors in a safe and efficient way. My husband and I ventured out on an exciting date. Life felt exciting and almost normal! If I told you that day was such a promising pick-me-up, tonic, even a cure for the COVID blues, it would be an understatement. It was a beautiful day, blue skies, clean crisp air. Everyone was pleasant and nervously friendly. We got delicious tri-tip sandwiches and one beer each . They had a properly distanced line, plexiglass shields, and an effective pick up method. I just would like to thank you all at Sugarloaf for restoring some sense of normalcy in a time of crisis. You lifted our spirits in a dark time. My husband and I cannot thank you enough.“

“I didn’t expect to find this level of Italian food in Idyllwild. The flavors, authenticity, and atmosphere were so amazing. The chef coming out to check on us was extremely touching. Shoutout to Laura for also being so kind and warm. I came here with my elderly mother all the way from Orange County, but we would gladly go again. I had to ask my son how to write this review for me, because I wanted to give a genuine review without ChatGPT. That's how good this restaurant was to me. Thank you for the amazing food and experience, Ferro.“

“Always great to support small businesses. My daughter ordered a burger and I ordered onion rings. The burger was huge and she enjoyed it. Had to take half of it home. Rings were good, but as this is a mountain town out of the way, prices reflect that.“

“I love my trips to Idyllwild and one of the reasons is the Brewpub. Friendly, fast, and amazing beers made their on the premises!“

“Fantastic service, amazing food, and a great vibe.

They were incredibly accommodating, squeezing us in on a busy Friday night right near closing time without making us feel rushed at all.

The food and drinks were absolute perfection, and you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The marinara sauce was superb, and the Caesar salad is honestly one of the best I have ever had. The pizza was beyond delicious and cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, the drinks were out of this world—highly recommend the Tiramisu Martini and the Paloma!

The live music added so much to the wonderful ambiance, making the whole dining experience even better.

A special shout-out to Kevin, who was super friendly, welcoming, and incredibly attentive throughout our meal.

We will definitely be back!“

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

“Had a wonderful lunch, and was surprised with the amount of Vegan options here. We had one of the creamiest and yummiest avocado rolls. A super yummy teriyaki veggie bowl and vegan ramen. Service was great, food was delicious and came fast. Outdoor seating was nice. This place is a gem on a mountain. And had more than just basic run of the mill vegan options or stripping away tons of ingredients to a meal to make vegan.“

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