Food: Mediocre meals in a vibrant city

In a city renowned for creative cuisine, Idle Hour falls short with subpar fare, starkly standing out with dishes like the Buffalo Cauliflower and Veggie Sloppy Fries. The limited, repetitive menu offers undercooked, bland staples and small portions, leading to complaints of poor value for money. Highlighted dishes such as the Homeboy Bakery Pretzel seem to be drowned out by the stream of negatives surrounding the restaurant's food offerings.

  • Okay Taste

    Some dishes executed well; others missed the mark, varying experiences.

  • Low Quality

    Fries stale, undercooked chicken, subpar food quality, no flavor.

Vibe: Uniquely inviting, undeniably vibrant

Despite the lackluster food, Idle Hour thrives in creating a positive ambiance. The warm and unique atmosphere, often boosted by commendable live entertainment, makes the restaurant a buzzing, trendy hotspot. Ideal for romantic dates and intimate gatherings, the vibe here almost redeems the culinary misfires.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live music often elevates dining experience, with talented performances commended.

  • Bad Drinks

    Overpriced, pre-batched cocktails vary in quality, diminishing value and enjoyment.

Perks: Frustrating convenience and sparse comfort

Idle Hour's service and conveniences are far from desirable. Problems range from frustrating parking obstacles to slow, at times rude service. Even the outdoor seating, typically a restaurant's respite, offers awkward, uncomfortable views while the internal noise level can overpower even the most spirited of conversations. Accommodations for sizeable groups and a pet-friendly environment fail to counter the frustration stemming from the lackluster perks.

  • Great For Pets

    Exceptional pet-friendly environment with water bowls and welcoming atmosphere.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Customers frustrated by wait times, unavailable tables despite visible vacancies.
