Restaurants near Nature Center Area at Idyllwild by Quiet Creek Vacation Rentals

Fine dining from arrival to departure. Richard was a greater waiter, guiding us to find the perfect wine for our meal and selecting the opening and entree offerings. Very knowledgeable of the menu items and offering his birthday congratulations. Spencer's has a great menu and wine/cocktail selection. The dining is open-air, but includes radiant heating this time of year. Beautiful setting. Valet parking was friendly and efficient.

Table was ready when we arrived, before dinner drinks were amazing, had a pizza for appetizers, I had spaghetti and meatballs and husband had lasagna for dinner and a nice bottle of wine. Everything was delicious. This is our go to place when we are in Idyllwild, California.

We have owned a home in Palm Springs for eleven year's. One of our first finds was walking into Tropicale for dinner. What an extraordinary experience, that night and last night. It is like the old TV show Cheers "where everyone knows your name" or for sure your face! Thank you Ranz, Tony and all of the staff for treating is so well. It is always a joy to return to Tropicale for another fantastic meal with friends and family. See you again soon. Robert and Dianna

We had been worried because we needed to take our 5 and 7 year old boys with us but the staff helped us make it a fantastic experience. Even the kids loved it! (Although there was a long intermission between super speedy appetizers and the mains). Food was exquisite and not too terribly expensive. The sole white fish was fantastic that we all can’t stop talking about that dish and may need to go back soon for it.

good food, nice atmosphere. I had a burger and martini.
