1st time experiencing Bolero during brunch time. Food is amazing. Great selection for salads, sides and lots of protein options including seafood, chicken and a carving station- prime rib was tender & moist. Highly recommend the empanadas! Our Server Mark was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. Always checking our table to see if we needed anything Will be returning soon read more

The food was amazing, it was hard to narrow down the choices. We were two couples and felt like we had a great sampling of the empanadas. Vegetable Paella, salmon and tuna crudo. The service was also great. I highly recommend coming with friends so you can sample more of the dishes read more

When the charming young lady welcomed us and asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, my husband said, "Yes. away from the kids!" Bolero is our go-to spot for date night! We love the atmosphere, and the food is always really good. And the staff here are always so nice, and the service is fantastic. Logan took great care of us. Even though he was assigned to other tables, he made sure our food came out on time since we were heading to the Candlelight show. We've had dinner here before and never posted a review but Logan's service was top-notch! I'll definitely look for him next time! If you're looking for a great date night spot with delicious food, good drinks and excellent service, I definitely recommend Bolero. read more

I made a RESERVATION on their website for a party of 4 for Sunday Brunch. My sis in law was visiting us for the first time. I can totally understand because she lives 2 hours away! So we decided to take her one of the best wineries in our opinion and brunch spot... SUNDAY BRUNCH: $61 per person. You can also get a discount with the winery club membership... I went for my usual FAVORITES!!! PRIME RIB: 9/10 cooked to a nice pink center. A bit chewy but, flavorful... SHRIMP & MUSSEL COCKTAIL: 7/10 made my stomach feel weird afterwards... GREEN SAUCE next to the PAELLA: STAR OF THE SHOW. It tasted great with everything including the veggies and prime rib... Salmon was overcooked! GRILLED VEGGIES: 9/10 My favorite but, I noticed that age ASPARAGUS were missing! So I asked a nice young lady and she brought me some from the back... Overall, my sis in law loved the food, ambiance and service. Our server was MARK! It was so busy but, he kept coming back to check on us... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOLERO RESTAURANTE!!!! BRAVO!!!! read more

I just had the best paella I've ever had here. It was flavorful, and you could taste the seafood flavors in every grain of rice. The seafood was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the New York steak, which was cooked perfectly and served with a delicious green sauce. The Brussels sprouts salad with goat cheese and cranberries were delicious as well. The restaurant is beautiful, and we had a lovely lunch on the patio, enjoying the gorgeous weather. The service was just okay, though. Our server never refilled our water glasses and took a long time to check on us toward the end of the meal. Although she was very sweet. We will come back to try their wine. read more

This is where I celebrated my birthday dinner in 2024! We had reservations, but decided to eat earlier since we were already in the area. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to get seated right away. We shared a charcuterie board to start with. For drinks, I chose the refrescante mocktail and he got the Paso Doble Margarita and also a glass of 2018 Bodegas Ego "Goru Gold." We also shared the ceviche and some bread with burrata! Everything was tasty and we were getting full before the main course. The paella took about 30 minutes to come out and had big pieces of steak and shrimp! We were too full to finish, but saved room for ice cream and dessert! He ordered the Vietnamese coffee ice cream and it was delicious and creamy! They use Mariposa ice cream, so you know it's good! For my birthday dessert, they brought out a little brownie and a scoop of ice cream with a candle on it. Overall, I had a pleasant time here. After we got the bill, we went outside to check out the guitarist and when we came back to get our leftover paella, they had cleared out table. We were kinda sad since there was a lot leftover. Oh well. read more

This review is based off their breakfast brunch! They offer it until 1PM. My girls and I went on the weekend and I believe the price is about $60 per person. They offer an omelette bar, meat stations, a raw bar with ahi tuna slices, salmon poke, shrimp, and mussels, and some other hot food items and salads. From the buffet I loved their braised beef, mash potatoes, and empanadas. I would refrain from getting the salmon poke, as it was extremely fishy. It was a standard breakfast buffet with few gourmet items being a hit or miss. Lots of times people were in and out of stations, so I didn't bother to flag someone down for an omelette. The desserts could be encased as well, as there were many flies on the cakes and pastries; I thought the overall experience was standard, though I think a dinner experience would be better here. read more

Tapas Tuesday are out on the patio and first come first serve for tables. You grab a table and a server will come help you. It was busy and the service was a bit slow, but the love music playing was amazing and filled the time. We tried all the food on the tapas Tuesday menu and the best thing was the steak. All the other dishes were decent. Be warned that their credit system populates suggested tip for 18+% based on the total including tax, which inflates the tip. read more

Bolero is a Spanish restaurant located inside Europa Village Wineries & Resort in Temecula Wine Country. Their menu is tapas-style so you order plates and share among your party. There's a section for the restaurant that includes both indoor and outdoor seating. There's also an adjacent building for their wine tasting which looked to have a ton of people. We were seated outside where we had a view of the vineyards. SALMON & AHI TUNA CRUDO ($25) - the sauce was refreshing and spicy. The chips that came with it were hard to scoop into the crudo so we had to use our spoons to eat. 4/5 EMPANADAS ($22) - there are both chicken and beef flavors. They were crispy and I preferred the chicken. 4/5 CROQUETAS ($15) - the croquettes themselves were decent with a crunchy outside and soft potatoes inside. I especially liked the short ribs underneath. 3.5/5 LINGUINI DE MARISCOS ($42) - this was definitely our favorite dish. The sauce was flavorful and I liked the big shrimp and scallops. The cheesy bread was also nice to dip into the sauce. 4.5/5 BOLERO PAELLA ($75) - they say it takes 45 minutes but for us it only took 30. I liked the beef, lobster, and shrimp on top but the rice was a little soggy. I would've liked more socarrat (the crispy layer on the bottom) because there really wasn't much at all. 3.5/5 For drinks we ordered the smoke & mirrors ($18) and isla rosada ($18) which were both good. We made reservations online ahead of time and I recommend you do the same. It was packed on Saturday evening and we overheard that it was about a 2 hour wait without a reservation. read more

TLDR Bolero Restaurant in Europa Village is a popular restaurant for many visitors myself included. Was here about this time last year and ordered many seafood dishes which were mostly overcooked :( This time I decided to give Bolero the benefit of the doubt and give them another chance to redeem themselves. Therefore, as to not repeat last year's fiasco, I decided to sit outside their patio, ordered glasses of chilled Rosé and other delectables from the menu to cool off the hot Temecula Valley day. The croquetas are one of their signature Spanish appetizers. Presented with micro greens and edible flowers topped where the potato balls and the shredded beef, which were delicious and kind of filling. The charred octopus salad was also presented appealingly with fresh ingredients of cherry tomatoes, red onions, avocado. Prior to ordering this I asked the server if the octopus was prepared so it's tender and not too chewy, he assured me the octopus was tender. After attempting to eat two pieces, I found the octopus to be very chewy and if I had to chew any more I would hurt myself and get locked jaw. Additionally, the octopus was too spicy for my liking, therefore I found the dish inedible and sent it back to the kitchen. The staffer/waiter who resembled the mustache cherubic male figures in Spanish Artist Fernando Botero, was nice and offered to either redo the octopus salad or select something else, I opted for the latter, and chose the ahi tuna and salmon Crudo. I specifically instructed the staffer to make sure no chilies as my mouth was still on fire. He said he would make sure no chili would be on the Crudo. The Crudo was presented nicely as well and the slices of chili peppers were placed on side dishes. Upon eating the Crudo my mouth felt more intense heat and as I inspect the Crudo I noticed specks of chili pepper flakes! I can usually handle hot chili, but not lately as I had detoxed for a week and my senses were heightened to the point that the heat from the chili peppers were literally burning my tongue OUCHIE!! I was furious because I told the waiter to make sure no chilis. I sent that Crudo dish back and ordered a Creme Brûlée so the dairy can help cool off the burning sensation in my mouth. Then appears the Head Chef Hany Ali, who introduced himself, apologized for all the mishap. When I rejected the first dish due to overwhelming chili and specifically asked for NO Chilies on subsequent dishes, the waiter didn't seem to understand, because No Chili means No Chili. Mr Ali was sincerely apologetic and he asked to sit and chat. Turns out, he was the head chef at Four Seasons Beverly Hills adjacent. So after learning I'm from Beverly Hills, he understood my demanding perfectionist point of view. I showed him last years review where both the main entree fish dishes were overcooked and the mashed potatoes lacked flavor. Mr Ali then ordered me a dish of mashed potatoes, which after tasting it was superb. He said to contact him before I dine here again and he would personally cook my food. A nice offer and gesture from a well educated (was educated in a culinary school in Switzerland) and over qualified to be a head cook here. The platano cremè brûlée was presented with a sliced caramelized banana; platano is banana in Spanish. A few spoonfuls of this did help relieve my burning mouth from the hot chilies. Do note, the crispy hard caramel shell on top was kind of missing and according to Mr Ali, because it's the Spanish version :/ Nonetheless, this dessert was not too sweet, delicious. If the dishes were prepared without the chili peppers, I would have enjoyed it. But for the lack of attention by the staffer to my specific instructions, those dishes were inedible for me. I appreciate that effort Mr Ali made to try to quell the situation with his professional demeanor, he alone deserves a 10!! Sadly, I was still hungry but not eager enough to stay and give this restaurant another chance, because this was their second chance and it was their faux pas. Perhaps your experience is better.. read more

Had a reservation for 8 pax, we came a little bit early and had our table ready inside. Its weekend, there's a guy who's playing music in the corner, not too loud just enough that you will enjoy listening while others are busy talking to each other. Paella order took a while to prepare and were aware of that so we order as soon as we sat in our table, the male server is attentive, busy Saturday but he was able to serve us on time for drinks and food order. I like the way they prepare my espresso martini, we order a bottle of red wine ( Cabernet sauvignon) Paella was ok, Buratta salad same, the Brussel sprout stood out, so good. read more

Yum!! We came here with our group for dinner and wine. We opted for a few tapas including ceviche and shrimp. We got the large portion of mixed paella and it was delightful! It says for up to 4 people but our group of 6 shared it and it was a great amount of food. They had a generous amount of seafood in it. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. As a paella snob, I was impressed with the quality. Our server was very kind and helpful when it came to picking out wines. We all got a different glass and loved our choices. read more

Amazing experience at Bolero for it being our first time. We did have a reservation for a party of 11 celebrating a birthday. We did wait a bit but not so bad for it being a busy Saturday afternoon. Our server Marlene was amazing and attentive making sure everything was good. Food was amazing, we tried the paella the portion for 4 is pretty big. My favorite was the linguini de mariscos. I also really enjoyed the Caesar salad. Super light and it's wrapped on jicama paper definitely a must to try. read more

Finally got to use my wine membership at Europa Village and what better way than with dinner at the Bolero Restaurant. I made a reservation through OpenTable, which was quick and seamless. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 7:45 PM reservation, checked in with the hostess, and were told we'd receive a text when our table was ready. Right on cue, at 7:48 PM, we got the notification. After checking back in, we were promptly escorted to our table. My first impression of the interior was a bit mixed. It's definitely a nice space, but the overall vibe felt slightly off. The layout seems like it would benefit from a more open concept the current flow makes it feel a bit informal. That said, the crowd is a blend of guests coming from tastings, hotel visitors, and locals just enjoying a night out, which might explain the atmosphere. Our server, Tina, took about 15-20 minutes to greet us and take our drink and appetizer orders. Once things got going, though, the experience improved significantly. The food was delicious definitely the highlight of the evening. We shared the empanadas and garnachas to start, both excellent. My in-laws ordered a dish with beans and sausage, while my partner and I went with the steak plate. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the chimichurri sauce really stood out. We paired dinner with a bottle of Tempranillo (my pick), which complemented the meal beautifully. As the evening wrapped up and closing time approached, we did feel a bit rushed to settle the bill. I mentioned my wine membership to Tina and provided my ID for verification. The check came back shortly after with the membership discount applied. Parking was easy there's plenty of open ground parking, so no hassle there. Overall, a great meal with a few service and ambiance hiccups, but definitely worth a visit. read more

I love living a couple of hours away from the beautiful wineries in Temecula. However, I must admit, it could be difficult to find a winery that offers quality wine AND food. Hence, when I saw the reviews for Bolero, I thought I MUST try it, and boy, was it worth it! Brunch was amazing. Paella, seafood, empanadas, all the different Latin dishes, the desserts and the wine! The wonderful service from our waitress Pam, was just the icing in the cake. If anyone wants to have a delicious meal, in a beautiful setting in Temecula wine country, you have to try Bolero. read more

This was my third visit here and it has been consistently great! The presentation on food itself is always beautiful and the flavor delicious. I was however disappointed with the Pastel de Chocolate. Although it was presented beautifully, it didn't have much stage presence as I thought it would. Our server checked on us frequently and our glasses of water filled. If there is one thing I could change with the restaurant, it would be the chair or table height. The tables are a little higher than usual and eating isn't at a comfortable position for me. I am petite so the table height is probably meant for average or tall height. It definitely isn't ergonomic in my opinion. My absolute favorite dish was the brussels sprouts. I wasn't expecting the sprouts petals (I should probably read the fine print), but was pleasantly surprised. The combination of Brussels sprouts, goat cheese, and the pomegranate jewels melting in your mouth, are just divine. I would come here again, but would make certain to find a better table. read more

We had a great time having some tapas and wine here. The staff was phenomenal -- Tami was our server and she was friendly, and most importantly helpful. She gave us feedback on the dishes we chose and helped me to figure out what wine to choose after a quick conversation about my preferences and the flavor profiles on the list. She was wonderfully attentive. The ambiance was beautiful - we arrived around 5pm right before the dinner rush and stayed 'til sunset. We got the croquets, churrasco steak and chorizo with fries, the garlic shrimp, and the cobbler -- all well cooked, aesthetically plated, and the perfect amount of food. We're excited to bring back friends for the paella! read more

I give Bolero 4 stars for the food and service. Service was ok, nothing exceptional. Atmosphere is nice. We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening. We came here for my husband's birthday and he really enjoyed the food. We ordered the Caesar salad and tomahawk steak. Both very delicious. The steak was cooked well. We will definitely come back. If the service was better, this place would be a 4.5 or 5. read more

Perfect place for Christmas Eve lunch! The restaurant had cute decor. They were able to accommodate for a same day reservation. The food was delicious and our server Jeri was next level. We ordered a couple apps to start. The calamari was good and comes with a side of green sauce that has a mild heat. Both paired well. The calamari had a light coating and was tender. Next we had the duo of deep fried empanadas. Mild chicken atop red sauce and slightly spicy ground beef atop a spicy green sauce. Both were really good. Then for our main, we opted for the Tomahawk and Paella. Wow! I didn't expect it to arrive and be carved table side. They wheeled the hanging tomahawk on a cart with the paella. Our server brushed the steak with melted butter and used a torch to sear the outside of the steak a bit more. Then she carved it and sliced it for easy family style servings. While I was expecting the paella to be served on a paella pan, I was a little bummed it was transferred from a flat bottom pan to a ceramic dish but the paella pan for this serving size would probably be too big for the table LOL For dessert we ordered the banana pudding brûlée, churros and chocolate dip, and berry cobbler. They were a nice finish to the meal. When my brother in law ordered a glass of red wine (I forget which one), our server Jeri came back with 2 red wines and asked him to try both as she thought he might enjoy the other one a bit more. Well guess what. She was totally right!! She also went above and beyond and surprised them with a complimentary anniversary dessert with a warm lemon cake, Tahitian vanilla ice cream and strawberry. Really good! Would probably order that again. read more

We celebrated our anniversary here and the experience was fantastic. Best restaurant in Temecula to enjoy great Spanish wines and paella. They're located on left side of Europa Village property. Parking is free and ample. The atmosphere is sophisticated, yet modern and warm. We had reservation and got seated immediately inside when we arrived. Our server was so friendly and helpful in sharing recommendations. We kicked off our celebration with a few of their tapas. Chicken empanadas was loaded and very tasty. The grilled octopus was tender and flavors match well with lentils and cherry tomato drizzled in olive oil. OMG! Watermelon salad with creamy whipped burrata cheese and mint was so refreshingly good. The perfect summer salad indeed. For our main, we got Mariscos & Chorizo Paella, which takes 45 minutes to prepare. Its comes in 2 sizes. We got smaller size and it was huge, easily shareable 2-3 people. Flavor profile was amazing and seafood tasted fresh. Even the rice was cooked to perfection. New York Steak with petite potato was cooked medium rare and paired nicely with chimichurri and guajillo sauce. We planned to do more wine tasting afterwards, so we passed on having wine with our meal. Desserts are must. We finished our meal with churros and almond olive oil cake (Torta de Bolero) for dessert. Both were amazing! We also got complimentary break pudding with vanilla ice cream to celebrate our anniversary. Quite delectable. All in all, we enjoyed everything and very satisfying meal. Thank you Bolero for memorable time. We can't wait to come back. read more

This place was rooooouuggh on service. We had to flag down our server for everything, silverware and napkins for everyone, ask where the wine was, had to ask twice to order food, food came out at wildly different times, had to ask three times for the check. It was just ROUGH! I felt like an absolute afterthought here. The food was good, but pricey. For a price point that high I expect the service to be pretty good. But honestly chik fil a will check on you more. We asked for the check and a manager offered to give us desserts for free and not only did he not bring the check but they never brought desserts! I didn't even want desserts but it was so rude to offer and ghost us. The food was good but not for the really rough service and the really long wait. One of our friends had to send back a steak because it was nearly raw and it took THIRTY MINUTES to come back. Everything about this dinner was frustrating. I probably won't come back. It was just too slow. Pallea was gluten free but not worth the slowness. read more

Bolero Restaurante is located in an Temecula winery, offering all-you-can-eat weekend brunch with seafood and meat options. I finally had a chance to visit after my partner went earlier this year with friends and I was excited to finally try their food for myself. We had a reservation booked in advance so getting seated was very quick. We received a booth to sit in, and was allowed to grab items right away. My favorites were the empanadas and prime rib eye, both were savory and full of flavor. I was not impressed with the cold seafood section and desserts though, as they were mostly pre-made items displayed nicely. Overall, for a $60 buffet, I thought that it was definitely worth it. Not like Wynn Buffet in Las Vegas for the same price point, but still delicious enough where I thought it was worth the money. read more
