Tommy's Kitchen — Restaurant in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

Bravo! What a thoroughly delightful experience we had recently at Tommy's Kitchen, which I consider as a cool establishment that feels a bit of a culinary utopia up in the bucolic Idyllwild mountains. This restaurants' Sunday brunch is the best I've ever had, which boasts a fresh combination of American thoroughfare hand-in-hand with French European delight! I found the variety to choose from to be a refined, well-curated selection... and major HATS OFF to the chef for not only the most delicious food but for a wide variety of options for us patrons, as well. There was so much to choose from and everything was exquisitely appointed...and equally exquisitely tasty! Even the eggs were special and not overlooked as a compulsory culinary selection: buttery, well-seasoned and fluffy. My absolute favorite, though, was the fresh salmon spread, with each slice so generously and perfectly presented. It surely prompted me to take on a second helping of them! I'm simply wowed by their style of preparation of everything! The waitresses were also so friendly, as well as the fellow patrons...it felt like a special communal experience, especially sitting in the well-covered al-fresco seating that feels like someone's large deck, with live music, in tow. It was very welcoming, homely and comfortable. We left feeling really grateful for the experience. We...

Quaint setting, good food and service! We always take a drive up to Idyllwild when we visit Palm Springs. And, as Cafe Aroma is closed, we decided to try Tommy's Kitchen.....and are glad we did. Tigger was our server and made our lunch very enjoyable with both her personality and her excellent service. Deb had the Vegetarian Rosti and I the Sennen Rosti. Both were EXCELLENT with a generous serving.of each, she even asked how we would like our eggs served. I am a Bread Pudding aficionado and had to try Tommy's "Swiss" version. Wow! A very different presentation but really tasty and enjoyable.

All in all, we were very pleased with our stop at Tommy's Kitchen and it is now included in our list of dining places whenever we are in...

Cute place, friendly staff but not great food I'm sorry to say. We came here because of the 4.7 star rating on Google and its a cute place and we really wanted to like it. The staff is very friendly and nice but my husband asked for mayonnaise for his Turkey sandwich three times and never got it. I finally got up myself, went inside and just got the bottle for him and four servers were around that i asked and yet still had to get it myself. And I'll mention that the sandwich was just mediocre to begin with. I had the tomato basil soup that tasted like sauce for a pasta. There are other places we will try in Idyllwild this 4th of July...
