Let me start by saying that Ferro has all the makings of a charming, memorable dining experience. The restaurant is tucked away in the scenic mountaintop town of Idyllwild, boasting a quaint and stylish ambiance that immediately sets a welcoming tone. The staff? Warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
From the moment the bread sticks and butter were brought to the table, I had high hopes. The butter was a creamy blend of herbs and spices—full of promise. I thought, “Okay, we’re in for a treat,” especially since so many locals had recommended the spot.
We ordered the gluten-free pizza and the Pollo Arrosto—a classic roasted chicken dish. When the plates arrived, the presentation was decent, but the taste… or rather the lack of it, was stunning. My wife and I exchanged a glance that felt eerily familiar to the early days of COVID—as if our taste buds had suddenly vanished.
The gluten-free pizza was perhaps the most bland, forgettable version I’ve ever encountered. I understand gluten-free crusts are different, but this was completely devoid of flavor, seasoning, or soul. The Pollo Arrosto was somehow both dry and greasy, with no discernible herbs or seasoning to speak of. Even the potatoes and broccolini—simple sides that usually shine with a touch of salt, garlic, or olive oil—were disappointingly dull and lifeless.
It pains me to say this, because we’ve fallen in love with Idyllwild and wanted to love Ferro just as much. But based on our visit, this restaurant is in serious need of a menu overhaul—or perhaps a new chef who can bring the food up to the level of its atmosphere and service.
“Mediocre” would be generous. Sadly, this was one of the worst meals we’ve had in a long time.
This inviting spot offers a cozy covered patio and an awesome outdoor terrace with heaters, creating a heavenly atmosphere perfect for relaxing. The live jazz and singing performances enhance the ambiance, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a gluten-free dining experience in a picturesque setting.

I brought my granddaughters to Amelia’s today for donuts and all three of us said they were the “best donuts in the whole universe “. I had the buttermilk glaze and it was so fresh! My one granddaughter eats gluten free food and said the chocolate gluten free donuts was “AMAZING” . And the cinnamon roll tasted delicious!

This review is long overdue, but I couldn’t wait any longer while I sit here eating a hot pastrami sandwich that has transported me back to the best east coast delis. As a Jew from Philly/NYC, I often can feel homesick for my favorite dishes living in the wilderness of Southern California. But Raven Hill is my respite. Sadly, I cannot eat their legendary bagels due to an allergy, but owner Kristi, Travis and their team have gone out of their way to accommodate my cravings with gluten free bagels and many other options. There’s a never-ending labor of love and inspiration churning behind the scenes, and you can feel it when you walk through the doors. Plus, they now have a full menu, gourmet market and grab & go case of amazing snacks and picnicky items. Lest I forget to mention, they have the BEST COFFEE ON THE HILL. Don’t sleep on it.
This charming eatery offers a warm, lodge-like atmosphere with cozy lighting ideal for a relaxing meal. The dog-friendly patio with blankets creates a welcoming setting, while attentive staff ensure a safe gluten-free dining experience with knowledgeable service and careful cross-contamination practices.

Ladies at the counter were so kind, friendly, and helpful! My family struggles to find good gluten free desserts and this place did not disappoint. Will be back here every time we want a delicious GF crepe. Their horchata iced coffee was not too sweet with a perfect hint of cinnamon. My boys loved the ice cream and milkshake as well.
Set in a lively plaza with live music, this spot offers a clean, well-designed space with great views and a cool mid-century modern vibe. It's known for incredible gluten-free options, making it a standout destination for those seeking safe, tasty treats.

I am gluten intolerant and had the mochi waffle because it is naturally gluten free and it was amazing! It was crunchy but not dry! Slightly sweet and great portion size for the cost. I also got a house milk tea with boba. I am so happy I found this place and will be back next time I am in Idyllwild.

What a gem. I am going to crave the Mexican hot chocolate when we leave! Idyllwild in general does not have the highest level of cuisine, but this place really stands out as outstanding (I also love Ferro, which uses their chocolate in an amazing gluten-free chocolate cake!). I highly recommend the Mexican hot chocolate, and they have non-dairy milk options, including Oat milk! Very progressive of them in this beautiful mountain town! We will go here every day while we are in town! Great for anyone with gluten allergies or milk allergies!

Found great vegetarian options on the Hill. The veggie blend can be ordered in a smothered big burrito, tacos, tostada etc. Listed as vegetarian, their classic refried beans didn’t have lard (always hard to be sure) and the flaky fluffy Mexican rice wasn’t made with animal broth. It was really nice to enjoy these flavors with confidence. And the staff had no trouble omitting cheese and sour cream. And being gluten-free, I can attest the corn tortillas and chips and the ranchero sauce are indeed GF.
