Italian date night, epic back patio. Call for reservations. It's unlikely you will get a table if you walk up unfortunately (def one of Idy's most popular spots). Live music on most weekends.

Sightseeing & Fun Places
World class hiking and climbing! When the rock climbing routes in Yosemite were being developed, climbers were also developing routes here too. The style of climbing you find here is called trad climbing (short for traditional climbing).

Fishing (I'm not sure if I would trust eating it:) and kayaking! Great spot for some sunshine and warmer temps. You can dirt bike there and back from Idyllwild. It's down hill to Hemet and mostly uphill back (a great a$$ kicker).
