Description

In the charming village of Idyllwild, a popular restaurant has recently come under scrutiny for its inconsistent service. Patrons have reported long wait times, often exceeding an hour and a half, particularly during lunch hours due to staffing shortages. While many appreciate the vibrant atmosphere and delicious appetizers, the overall dining experience has suffered as customers have frequently left without their main courses. Though the establishment boasts a lovely outdoor patio and a revamped menu, it continues to face challenges in managing service expectations, leaving many to reconsider their return. Customers hope for improvement as the restaurant navigates these ongoing difficulties.

I believe they might be closing down or will do so shortly. They were sold out of menu items and drinks like Sprite and Dr. Pepper. The fish and chips were made with deep fried salmon, and the side of daily veggies was disappointing. The pasta with marinara sauce was inferior. It felt as though we were on a TV show where a celebrity chef comes out of the kitchen to ask about the old menu.

I visited this restaurant in Idylwild and had a disappointing experience. Upon being seated for lunch, we were informed that several staff members had not shown up for work. We anticipated some delays, but waiting 1 1/2 hours for fish and chips was excessive. It seems like this is a recurring issue based on other reviews. Many customers left due to the long wait and were confronted about payment on their way out. After finishing our meal, I left cash for the meal and a generous tip for the struggling staff as we did not want to wait any longer for the bill. Despite this, the waitress still approached me about paying for the meal. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this restaurant.

We waited for one hour and 45 minutes but never received our main course. We only had our appetizers, which were delicious, before we had to leave. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and setting, but they clearly need more staff. It's unrealistic to expect one person to handle everything for the entire restaurant.

It’s a funky cool place with a updated menu! Worth a try! They are still adjusting to being reopened through a tough year, as are so many places! But it’s a great spot.

I tried this place in Idylwild. After arriving and sitting for lunch, we learned that a number of employees were unable to work. We expected some delay, but 1 1/2 hours for fish and chips was a bit much. Sounds from the reviews that this is not an isolated problem. Many males left while we were there were fed with waiting. They were accelerated on the way through payment. After I finished our meal and didn't want to wait another hour for our bill, I just left cash for the meal and a generous tip for the fighting staff. Nevertheless, I was still faced by the waitress about the payment of the meal. We will not return to this institution!
