Our only problem was with the menu selection… every item sounded spectacular. We had a hard time selecting what to order! We will definitely have to go back to work our way through the menu. We can highly recommend the Idlewyld for your special evening out.

Beautiful day. Asked to sit on the back patio and was accommodated in spite of setting up for a later group function. Servers were friendly. Food and drinks were delicious. Pretty setting back there! All around a lovely experience. Thank you :)

Food & Service was excellent as usual A great venue for fine dining in an elegant setting Was disappointed that we were not able to dine on the veranda - I thought I had clicked on “porch” when asked area of sitting but apparently it did not appear in the reservation—but lunch was outstanding & will definitely return
