It's the day after Valentine's Day and I made reservations to take my +1 to Cafe Aroma. In the evening the interior was lit up with warm glowing lights and chandelier of what looked like elk horns. A warm fire our drink order and comfy tables strewn about gave the place a local homey feel. We were seated quickly upon entering and the server was quick to take our drink orders and review the menu. The server was very friendly and described every detail of the dishes we were considering. He recommended the Valentine's special which was a lobster and crab pasta dish with a vanilla bean white sauce. It sounded remarkable so I ordered it. The server brought out bread and our meals came out to the table after a short wait. The bowl of pasta was a good helpings of pasta with big hunks of lobster and crab. The dish was delicious with its white sauce with a hint of the vanilla. It was a sauce I had never experienced before and I'm glad that I decided to try something new. With a comfy upscale vibe, Cafe Aroma is the perfect place to try when you want something different.

And Idyllwild Gem! What incredible dinner at Cafe Aroma. We were seated at the bar, which has such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our server, Daniel, was phenomenal. He was super attentive and made the whole experience even better. The food was absolutely incredible across the board. Starter: Blue Mussels - Fresh and perfectly prepared. The broth was so flavorful, we made sure to enjoy every bit with the toasted bread. Side: Roasted Beets - A total standout. They were fresh, vibrant, and the perfect way to start the meal. Main: Filet Jacob - Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had. It was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. If you’re looking for high-quality food and a great vibe in Idyllwild, this is the spot. Ask for a seat at the bar and hope Daniel is working! We’ll definitely be back.

Such a warm, lovely place! Workers were great, and I loved our pasta dishes. Bread was tasty as well. Also a huge plus since they’re dog friendly! Make sure to make a reservation cause they’re packed.
