CREEKSIDE FARE WITH FLAIR

Enjoy creekside outdoor dining with great food, drinks & ambience... (served with a smile)

A local favorite venue prior to its closure in September 2019, Idyology is now open with new ownership/management, menu and vibe. Come join us, eat great food, enjoy wine and beer, and help make this the place you want to be. What's YOUR Idyology?

THE STORY

• I (Carmel Benson) came to Idyllwild for the first time early January 2020 for a songwriting workshop, having never heard of or been to this idyllic town. Four days later, I left with an offer on a restaurant property, having never owned or run one before (yes I know - crazy :-). Two weeks after I closed on the property, COVID happened. You can fill in the rest (sleepless nights, lots of work/hauling/revamping, endless worry) until I was able to successfully open Labor Day weekend!

• ​

• Prior to my previous career (employee engagement, leadership development & customer service), I was a successful personal chef starting at the age 19 in Paris France. 

• ​

• Our goal and vision is that every customer who walks in is welcomed, beautifully fed and serviced - and we hope you all enjoy the gorgeous surroundings, inside and out (by the creek!).
