Idylwood Grill - Falls Church

Reservation for 2 on Monday night. the restaurant was not very crowded. many open tables, but I felt like we were rushing. our food was delicious, and it came out shockingly quickly. literal 5 minutes after order. Normally, this would be a plus, but our server came several times while we eded to ask if we wanted something else. everything in all was good and we will go back.

This is an excellent neighborhood restaurant. Some of our favorites are Lamb Merguez and Shrimp Ajo for appetizers, Blackened Scallops and Branzino if you like fish, and if you prefer meat, Beef Bourguinon, for dinner. The wines selection is outstanding. We appreciate the good service and overall atmosphere of good dining.

Our four-headed group ordered the lemon-pepper-Branzino, kalbmarsala and the lamb shaft risotto. the breanzino was very good. the mushroom caper cream sauce put it on perfection. I usually command the black scallops I prefer, but I'm glad I tried the branzino. the kalbs and the lamb were big hits, tender and full of taste. the service was as usual excellent as the wine.

We like to eat in this neighborhood garden. the food and service is excellent. the last visits there were claws that we enjoyed very much.

Absolutely loved the grilled lamb frame! husband had the breanzino and wished it had more lemon pepper and basilikum and less mushroom. we really enjoyed our meal and will be back.
