  We pass this family restaurant all the time and eventually decided to give it a shot and we were glad we did. The shrimp Aja, cod and branzino were done very nicely. Food is fresh and tasty and server is efficient. It’s bright and homy inside and we enjoyed our dinner. Five entrees and one appetizer without drink came to about $240 after tax and tip. Note party of five the 20% gratuity was already included.

  I had been curious about this place ever since I saw an ad for it on facebook. It's very near where I live but I had never been. When I saw an ad for their Thanksgiving menu I knew I wanted to try it out. This was the first year my family and I didn't have a home cooked Thanksgiving meal. My mother usually cooks for us but she has been struggling with her health so we all decided to go out for that special day instead. I was so nervous because I was the one who suggested this place and I didn't know what to expect. We had a reservation for 8 made many weeks ago and I was relieved that our table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. We all knew we wanted the traditional turkey dinner except for my brother who wanted the steak frites. The food came out quickly and to my great delight everything was delicious. The turkey was some of the best I've ever had. My mother still raves about it. To the owners I'd suggest making that a permanent addition to the menu. You've got a winner on your hands there. The sides were delicious as well though I will say we all only got, and I'm not exaggerating, a tablespoon of stuffing each. I understand it's Thanksgiving so maybe they wanted to make sure they had enough for everyone but it would've been nice to have more on the plate. We were all stuffed by the end of dinner so no harm done. My brother's steak frites was also amazing. I had a small bite and the steak melted in my mouth and the sauce was heavenly. Most of my family decided to get dessert. 2 creme brulees, 1 cheesecake, 1 German chocolate cake, and 1 bowl of ice cream. All delicious. If I had one critique I thought one of the waiters serving us was a little pushy when trying to get us to order appetizers and desserts. But I don't think anyone noticed but me so no problem. This place has great food and I can't wait to return. They made our Thanksgiving really feel like the special day it is.

  Small intimate restaurant. A bit aged. But the character is palatable. Food is above average To be fair I've only tried one dish. First time there. Will return.

  Every visit to Idylwood Grill & Wine Bar feels like being whisked away to a candle-lit corner in Florence. The ambiance is sultry and elegant—dim lights, soft jazz, the clink of wine glasses—absolutely the kind of place that makes you want to linger over conversation and a perfectly poured glass of red. Their mussels are divine, swimming in the most aromatic broth, and the beef bourguignon is slow-cooked perfection—rich, tender, and incredibly comforting. Pair it with a bold Italian wine and it’s pure magic. The staff moves with quiet confidence, always attentive yet never intrusive, and the whole atmosphere has an effortless sophistication that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s classy, a little bit sultry, and consistently unforgettable. My go-to escape in Falls Church when I want to feel transported, pampered, and perfectly fed. 🍷💫
