idgie's restaurant

Idgies was formerly a wonderful fine dining restaurant, and I have had several terrific and memorable meals there. Alas, that Idgies is no more, and in its place is a similarly named, or possibly different depending which documentation you refer to Mexican restaurant.nnWe walked in, and with no one to seat us, and no ‘Please wait to be seated’ sign, we somewhat awkwardly seated ourselves. The possibly owner soon came over and seemed less than happy we had been so presumptuous. Not a great start.nnThe classic Margaritas were bad, there’s no other way to say it. It seemed like there was almost no tequila or triple sec. The food was okay, not great. Maybe these are growing pains.nnOne recommendation to the new owners. If you were intending to deliver the same type of food that the previous incarnation of Idgies produced, then it would be possibly appropriate to retain the name. But since you are delivering completely different food, you owe it to the dining public to change the name to reflect the change in cuisine.

This is the first place I've ever left before being served our main course. I guess we should have realized when they had no record of our reservation and the table next to us said they got a free desert because the order was screwed up. Our appetizer was good, but an hour and a half later, after being told our food was next, we find out that our order was lost and not even started. With less than 20 people in a small space, how can they not even notice? The problem must be systemic as our server did everything to avoid eye contact. We had to go over and ask for the bill for what we got an hour ago, so we could leave and find food somewhere else. At least they comped the appetizers.

Tasty, fresh food and friendly service.nWe had takeout of the Mahi mahi, chicken, fish tacos, and volcano cakes, and each was well prepared and flavourful. The fish tacos were particularly well done. I appreciate that the staff packed the desserts in such a way that they could be eaten later without being a mess as takeout icecream separate for the freezer until ready to go. We will be back to try dining in-person.

Very busy place. Got in trouble when a couple decided to join our reservation for 8. Quarters are tight and they weren’t happy about the addition. Neither was I and I’ve made mention. Thought the food was good. I hade the enchiladas with mole. A bit of spice to warm a chilly night.

Great little restaurant. Porteare generous, freshly made and tasty. Great outdoor space. Friendly staff and good service. We in particular liked the fresh mussels.
