Description

Set on a manicured golf course in Temecula, this upscale-casual restaurant charms with serene, scenic grounds, polished service, and a menu of carefully prepared brunch and dinner favorites—crab Benedict, grilled cheese, octopus, wagyu and inventive cocktails. Portions are moderate, prices reasonable, and vegetarian and gluten-free options available. However, expect occasional slow service, inconsistent cooking (notably a poorly executed gnocchi), and intermittent outdoor heating on the patio that can mar special occasions.

The restaurant was truly beautiful, and the food was exceptionally delicious. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We made a reservation for seven people on a Tuesday, and they were very accommodating.

Additionally, while the outdoor heaters were initially on, they kept turning off and on, and despite mentioning this to her, our waitress did not take any action. We were freezing outside! The bartender did find seats for us inside, but by that point, we were already finished with our meal and just wanted to leave. Eventually, the manager came over, apologized for our experience, and offered us a 25% discount. We spent quite a bit of money only to receive such poor service. I felt particularly embarrassed as I was hosting this graduation party and had recommended this place. While the food was delicious, I'm not sure if I would return in the future.

I adore every aspect of this restaurant! It has a stunning ambiance, and the food is simply delicious. I highly recommend the brunch over the dinner options, although dinner is great too. While it is on the pricier side, it truly is a high-end establishment. The staff is incredibly warm and inviting. We took our two young children to celebrate, and they were very accommodating and kind, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant offers a lovely view of the golf course—it's absolutely beautiful.

The service at the restaurant was excellent, and the cocktails were impressive. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the food. We ordered a medium burger, but it arrived still pink inside. The gnocchi with trout was decent but not extraordinary—only the first bite had a notable flavor, and the rest lacked consistency. On the positive side, the Brussels sprouts were crispy, exactly as I enjoy them. The ambiance was lovely, with a welcoming layout, and once again, the service was outstanding!

We kicked off our meal with a cheese platter and some drinks, and their cocktails—especially the smoky ones—are outstanding! The cheese plate was delightful and a perfect way to start the night. For our main courses, we ordered steak and duck, both of which might be the best entrées we've ever tasted—cooked to perfection with vegetables that make you crave seconds. To top it all off, we indulged in a stuffed dessert that was heavenly with every bite. By the end of the meal, we were in a delightful food coma. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend checking this place out for dinner; it’s an experience you won’t forget!
