“ A chill place with great vibes and fantastic food! The host who sat us was a walking cup of coffee. Our server was sweet and attentive without being overwhelming, we like to take our time. The food was a DELIGHT to taste, fresh and tasty. We loved every bite and the iced tea was refreshingly delicious. ”
“ Super fun place, the service was wonderful. Our waiter David was very kind and accommodating. One of us didn’t like the Veggie Fried Rice because of the spice, we didn’t see the spice warning. But we told our waiter and he totally understood. We didn’t eat the dish so they took it off the check and gave us a free dessert! The rest of us loved our food, we got the Fish and Chips, Steaks Frites, and Red Fish. Now we know for next time what we like! The dessert was a wonderful way to end the night. The Pumpkin Cheesecake was delicious and the Brownie was full of sweet flavor. ”
“ First time here on vaca....Amazing. Idyll Hound Proper is a gem! David’s service was absolutely amazing—warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The French toast casserole was unreal, a perfect blend of flavors that left us speechless. Every bite was pure bliss. Can’t wait to return for more! Highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable experience. ”
“ We have found the World Class Old Fashioned! Having eaten before we arrived, we were checking out their cocktails. Perusing the menu we were disappointed we had already eaten, but definitely will be returning for the food. Mary seated and served us and she was super pleasant and explained about the dishes and their specialties. She was super attentive even though we just ordered drinks. We've been on the hunt for the best Old Fashioned around the area to include Appalachicola and Port St. Joe. We have one identified, but thanks to our visiting Idyll Hound have found the BEST Old Fashioned. Look at the photos . . . so classy with the initials formed in the ice! We are anxious to get back next week! Nice job Mary and the super talented bar tenders. ”
