The Idylwood Grill & Wine Bar

Great service, food tasted great. Over cooked steak. As a neighborhood, local, disappointing to get a medium cooked steak, when medium rare was requested. At these prices, I feel like this should not be a problem. More...

Service is fine and the owner seems really nice. However, the food tastes like it's reheated from being frozen rather than fresh from scratch. Also, the food tasted almost freezer burned. Really wanted to like this place but it just missed the mark. We got the mushroom and spinach ravioli, calamari, and chicken parm with pesto pasta. The calamari wasn't hot or crispy enough for my liking. More...

We REALLY wanted to like this place and, maybe on another day we would have. This place still had availability for Valentine's Day when none of our usual "celebration restaurants" did. That might have been a red flag except for the outstanding Yelp reviews, and we figured it was worth a try. When we arrived, the place was packed. However, our table was ready, and we were seated quickly. The room was a bit cramped, with tables almost on top of each other. Perhaps it was a rearrangement to accommodate the large volume of couples on this particular night. The decor was a bit dated. Mostly, for a wine bar they didn't offer a lot of wine choices. The special menu had many options, and that might have been the problem. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer, surf & turf for my main, and German chocolate cake for dessert. In all three cases, the portion sizes were huge. The mussels were small and tasty. However, the sauce was too salty and also was a bit overcooked. For my main, the crab cake was OK, but the fillet was overcooked and dried. And the accompanying baked potato was tasteless. I think to accommodate the anticipated crowd, they prepared a bunch of everything and had it simmering, waiting to be served. Since we ate towards the end of the evening, some of our food was, perhaps, over-simmered. FWIW, the cake was very good and the service was excellent. More...

The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Interesting menu and the food was excellent. We had Shrimp Ajo (app), Duck Breast with Mushroom Risotto, and Lobster Ravioli. Bon Appetite! Note to those who claim it is too expensive: You ordered drinks with your meal and that drove up your cost. The menu items are right-priced. More...
