Ordered off the menu and the food was ok. Poached eggs were firm on the inside when the yolk should have ran out when cut into. The gluten free bread was only toasted on one side. Omelette was tasty. Just an overall average meal.

Table service was great and friendly however, the main course was delivered almost 30 minutes after the appetizer portion. Main course was a little underwhelming. Under our previous experiences at this restaurant. It was for a birthday and really left us surprised. Again table service was wonderful

Idlewyld is a great restaurant, the food is excellent, and the staff are very friendly. Idlewyld is especially good for people with Celiac as they are very accommodating and will tweak any dinner plate to fit your dietary needs. It's one of our favorite restaurants.

Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. The food was good but nothing outstanding, especially considering the cost. Good place to take an older person who likes a quiet, roomy place.

We were created by friendly staff who took our coats and lead us to our table. Our server Jacqui was extremely helpful, friendly and patient. Thank you, you made our moms 89th birthday special.

Tuesday lunchtime was quite busy, but our waitress was attentive. Menu is not extensive, but Food quality was exceptional: steak sandwich $30 and chicken panini $28 might seem expensive, but portions are large and we both brought half home for dinner! Ambiance takes one back to quiet, sedate dining of decades past! Will be back.
