I recommend staying far away from this restaurant. The food was extremely overpriced for the…read morequality, and the service only made the experience worse. We came with 4 adults and 2 children. My husband and I shared a BLT, and it was shockingly small. The bacon tasted like microwave bacon, not freshly cooked, and it came with a tiny cup of potato salad and one small slice of watermelon. The kids split a grilled cheese, another couple ordered the Monte Cristo, and the cheese wasn't even melted. We also tried the brisket "special," which was disappointing and low quality. When the bill came out, we were honestly stunned. The total was $181 for very small portions and mediocre food. Then we noticed they had automatically added a 23% "large party" fee... for 4 adults and 2 kids. That alone added over $30 to the bill. To make matters worse, we asked if they could split the check between couples and were told they couldn't. Probably because they wouldn't be able to charge us the large party fee! After we questioned the charges, the manager/owner conveniently disappeared after printing the receipt instead of addressing the issue. This place feels like it's taking advantage of tourists. Poor quality food, inflated prices, hidden fees, and bad customer service. Steer clear.

Our waiter was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and truly made the experience special. I always hope to get him whenever we visit. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the bread. It's incredibly delicious, and the butter served with it is just as amazing. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a great meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with outstanding food and exceptional service. We literally come here at least three times a month.

The salsiccia pizza, which has Italian sausage, a cream sauce, and scallions, was amazing. Just the right amount of spice and a big portion. The spaghetti meatballs could use a little more flavor. Service was just superb. They were attentive and exceptional. They even gave us the tiramisu on the house because we were celebrating her birthday. Do not sleep on the tiramisu. Definitely one of the tops in Idyllwild.

I read a bunch of the 1-star reviews. I read some of the…read more4-star reviews. I have to go with 5-star tho. OVERVIEW of 5 : Seated without reservation (*make one! We got lucky*) Server was amazing Food expediter was super nice Food was delicious Elegant, fine dining experience Music was my mountain playlist (and not too loud) View of mountains for me. View of architecture for my wife. PARKING: Parking can be difficult in the small lot, but there's parking along the street too. INSIDE: It was perfect weather. 68ºF at 6pm after a warm day. They have "indoor/patio" style seating which may be difficult for some to access by multiple steps. We were seated at the top, a table away from the music, along the window side. They have heat lamps - but temps were perfect (lots of people and hot food warmed everyone up). I wanted to walk around the restaurant. The tiered architecture is interesting. FOOD: High End Vegan! Yes - I'm guilty of wanting to give them 5 stars just looking at their vegan menu. (And omnivore selection) Yes - I appreciate the care that it takes to prepare a plate. BUT This food was just delicious by itself. Even in a cardboard box, this food would've been amazing. VEGAN "cheese" appetizer (great for 2-3 people) Nut cheese was warm and tangy. This is NOT just cashews and nooch in a blender. It is spiced with something that brings a little heat. *you will want to lick the bowl. PRO TIP: The welcome bread with ... oh shit.... WELCOME BREAD / Garlic Olive Oil This crusty bread served with microplaned garlic + olive oil is fantastic. Garlic Fiend? You're gonna love this. Not a fan of garlic? What's wrong with you?! I mean... just serve from the oil side. Save some bread for your vegan cheese.... VEGAN CHEESE (cont.) Order the gluten free bread (a little more like Uti's toasted dinner roll) with your vegan cheese app. Omnivores at your table will be surprised how well this vegan cheese and wine pair with each other. TROUT I think my wife got the trout. She loved it. Light and delicate. VEGAN KIMCHI TOFU I've had kimchi. I've had tofu. We all have. This was prepared on a bed of roasty veg that was a great match to the salty kimchi. I don't know if there was a marinade preparation (sesame paste?) with the tofu, or it was made locally, or both, but this firm tofu was excellent. Sweet. Nutty. Salty. Fresh tasting and filling. The vegan menu here isn't just an "alternate version" of an omnivore dish. It is its own thing. DESSERT MISTAKE = not getting it. We thought there would be dessert in town, but we got out late. Town had closed. MUSIC Tonight's music was a pair of musicians playing CS&N, Neil Young, Bob Seger... acoustic session: Guitar, Violin, Mandolin. Quiet & sentimental performance was a perfect accompaniment to a long hike day. THERE ARE 1-STAR REVIEWS of this place. They have their reasons. I've only been here once. But I experienced NONE of the things they've mentioned. Moreover, we experienced even better than what other 5-star reviews suggested. This is an elegant spot, framed by a perfect day in Idyllwild. If I come back to the town, I will want to try other restaurants, but I'll definitely come back here. Not *just* because of their vegan options, but definitely *for* their vegan options.

We stopped by for happy hour and found the deals pretty limited -- only a small drink selection and none of the specials applied to food -- but we still ordered a light bite and the food was good. Service was a bit slow just to get drinks, and the prices lean on the higher end compared to other wine bars, but it's still worth checking out. The staff were friendly, and you really can't beat the location. Would recommend popping in for a glass as you explore Palm Springs. The style is cute and chic, and the views make it an easy stop.

Our friends, who are regulars, invited us back, and we were once again greeted warmly by owner James, who is consistently welcoming and attentive. We snagged a great table with a prime view of the action, setting the stage for a fantastic evening. Standouts included the tamarind martini, which was exceptional--smooth, flavorful, and dangerously drinkable (I had a few, and soon my friends were ordering them too). The bacon-wrapped figs were a highlight, so good we polished off two orders; the pizza was decent but could have used a touch more time in the oven for a crispier crust. Prices struck a reasonable balance for the quality and vibe. We ate, drank, and danced the night away--truly a perfect outing. V Wine Room delivers on fun, friendly energy every time.
