It was a perfect dinner for our wedding anniversary, and I could feel that the chef has his own philosophy about cooking, presenting perfect dishes! The server was very kind as well. I would definitely visit here again.

We took my parents to the Idlewyld to celebrate my dad's birthday. The staff were super friendly and helpful from the time we entered the establishment through the entire meal, all the way to our exit, where we received a warm thank you and hope to see you again soon. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with meal selections and recommendations. The meal was excellent - high quality, local food, expertly prepared. My mom and dad had been looking forward to this dining experience for some time and the Idlewyld did not disappoint.
