Our Story

The dining room at the heart of Idyllwild.

Idyllwild's Table, Elevated

The Peak began as the dining room of the Tahquitz Pines Retreat, a place for guests to gather after a day on the trails. Word got around. Today it’s the restaurant and bar Idyllwild comes back to, whether you’re up for the weekend or part of the neighborhood.

Perfect for all-day dining, the menu features hearty favorites perfect after a day of fresh mountain air. Grab a sandwich on the go, or relax over steak, seafood and cocktails, and don’t skip dessert. From the bar, hand-crafted cocktails, California wine, and local beer.

Daily and weekly specials bring you back. Taco Tuesday is a local’s hangout, with live music and deals on tacos and margaritas. Happy hour is prime time for patio cocktails on a weekday afternoon. Come as you are. Dine indoors or out under the pines, with a forest view from every seat.
