Lou is the kind of person who makes you want to come back. He's incredibly attentive, genuinely friendly, and has a real passion for wine that comes through in every conversation. He's very knowledgeable but never makes you feel intimidated. Instead, he takes the time to learn what you like, shares great recommendations, and makes the whole experience fun and memorable. Beyond Lou, Lorimar has a beautiful setting, great wines, and a welcoming atmosphere. You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests and wine club members. We're looking forward to being members for years to come. If you're thinking about visiting Lorimar or joining their wine club, ask for Lou. You won't be disappointed!

It's one of the few late night places in wine country so it gets busy on weekends. There's live music on weekends as well so if you're sound sensitive I do not recommend. It was quite loud but I personally still enjoyed myself and had a good time singing along. The seating is first come first serve so you might have to wait for a table but usually something opened pretty quickly. The drinks were tasty and the service was good. There is also food options available even in the later evening. We tried the carne asada fries and they were delicious. The cheese sauce and chimichurri cream, with very tender meat, yum!

Nothing spectacular, or memorable. Just good food that you wont complain about. A dinner for 2 with a few drinks will set you back ~$200.

Also provided us a a delicious lava cake to celebrate friends bday. RESERVATIONS: online reservations but accepts walk ins. There was no wait at all so easily got a table at 6:30 pm on a Friday night. PARKING: ample parking and it's free. Dirt roads. No pavements. I believe there's valet. There were men standing at the valet booth greeting everyone. Smoking area near the parking lot to the left of the valet and building, with provided ash dispensers. AMBIANCE: Theres performances on Friday nights and people dancing on the dance floor in the winery area and the restaurant is in the same area. So, we got to enjoy live music, a delicious dinner, and enjoy people watching. FOODS: Beef short rib 10/10 - sweet and savory paired perfect with the tanginess of the cherry tomatoes Crispy baby artichoke- 8/10. Perfectly crispy and paired well with the lemony sauce they have on the side. Chicken almondsecco- 9.5/10. I know it looks a little much but it tastes so good. It is on the heavier side due to the brown farro butter but man, worth the calories. Chicken was tender Chocolate lava cake 10/10: moist perfectly sweet and that coulis wasn't overpowering the dessert.

Vineyard Rose The…read moreVineyard Rose restaurant is in the South Coast Winery and Vineyard Resort in Temecula. Upon entry, you'll notice the high pitched A framed ceiling which reminded me of some chalets I visited in Europe. The mostly wood and tapestry decor some might consider classic seemed dated but well maintained. The restaurant was half full, because most people were in the tasting room, at the other end of the resort, where the 2026 FIFA was on the monitor. The restaurant had a large outdoor patio with cool misters but it was too hot to dine outdoors. Inside the restaurant was large and many booth seating which we preferred. The walls of shelves showcased many awards and bottles of the wines produced by South Coast Vineyard. From the menu we ordered the prime rib along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Syrah both rated 90 points from wine reviews. After tasting the wines, there was no doubt the wines were very good. The prime ribs were served with mashed potatoes and asparagus tasted surprisingly very flavorful and delicious. Usually a pescatarian dish, but I was really excited to taste their red wines which paired well with the hearty prime rib, and the pairing was palate perfect. Service from the staff, especially the server and the head chef was great. The head chef used work for Lisa Vanderpump and resided in Beverly Hills, so we had that connection and we chatted. Overall, a positive dining experience with fantastic wines worth a visit.

I ordered the pancakes with bananas , my wife enjoyed the omelette with potatoes and a side of sourdough toast , and our granddaughter had the kids' meal with one egg, one pancake, and bacon . To drink, I had a delicious cup of coffee , and my wife enjoyed a sangria. Shortly after we placed our order, Bobby came back to let me know they had run out of bananas and asked if fresh berries would be an acceptable substitute. I agreed, and he sincerely apologized for the inconvenience. To my surprise, when my breakfast arrived, it had fresh bananas on it! Bobby explained that the kitchen manager had actually gone to the store to buy more bananas so they could fulfill my order. Wow--that is customer service! It speaks volumes about a team that truly cares about its guests and goes the extra mile to make sure they leave happy. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and also offers outdoor seating, which is a nice option. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We frequently come here to pick up our wine orders but also to dine at their restaurant. You can have reservations, call in, or stand by and wait on their waitlist. They only have outdoor seating and fans with mist for the heat during the summertime. During our visit with our friends, Ramon was our server. Not only was he humorous and silly, he was very professional and accommodated towards our needs. He was very communicative and quick, too! Our friends and I had two bottles of wine with a charcuterie board, salmon sandwich, mussels, and a flatbread. My absolute favorite are their mussels!! It comes with this amazing sauce. I ask for their free bread to dip with the mussel sauce because it's how fantastic it is! Whenever I crave mussels, this is the place I go to. Amazing service, food, and environment. Fabulous job! Thank you for helping us out, Ramon!

This review is specifically for Thornton Winery's "Friday Night Live Music at the Winery" event…read morefeaturing and the Trouble Man Band on 5/8/26. I can't say whether this applies to every Friday night performance, but it absolutely applied to this particular show. If you want anything close to a decent view of the stage, it is imperative that you purchase assigned table seating! For this concert, reserved table seating was only $10 more per person than General Admission (GA) seating, and in hindsight, it would have been well worth the extra cost. The General Admission section was positioned so far off to the left side and elevated that the stage view was extremely limited. Depending on where you were seated, portions of the artist and band could be obstructed entirely. The audio quality in the GA area was also disappointing, with vocals often difficult to hear clearly. We understand these events are designed to encourage dancing and a lively atmosphere, but there was a large amount of unused dance-floor space where additional premium seating could have been placed to provide better sight lines and improved sound quality. Another major issue was the seating layout in the GA section. The spacing between rows was tighter than airline coach seating. In our row, some guests literally had to stand up and fully exit the row just to allow others to enter or leave their seats. To make matters worse, the chairs were zip-tied together, leaving virtually no personal space. Thankfully, we were seated next to friends, because if we had been next to strangers, it would have been uncomfortable for everyone involved. In my opinion, the GA seating experience simply was not worth the ticket price given the poor visibility, cramped seating, and weak sound quality in that area. The bright spot of the evening was the performance itself. L Young and the Trouble Man band were outstanding and absolutely delivered a fantastic show! I would gladly see them perform again. However, unless I could secure reserved table seating, I personally would not return to this venue for another concert from the GA section. What stood out most was that this wasn't just our opinion -- many guests seated around us also voiced the exact same frustrations throughout the evening.

We were looking for a spot where we could get a reservation and a full meal rather than simply cheese plates or sandwiches. On weekends, they forgo their typical menu for a buffet brunch for $36 dollars per person. When we arrived, we were seated outside per our request. Despite the Temecula heat, we were pretty comfortable due to adequate shading. The patio wasn't crowded, as possibly we came after the main brunch crowd, since our reservation was at 1PM. There was a lovely cover artist singing and playing music while we were there. Only a few tables were filled. For drinks, my friends chose the Bloody Mary bar. They enjoyed their drinks, as the bar had a nice selection. I chose the bottomless mimosas, as it was worth it if I even had two. I ended up having three, one raspberry, one guava, and a traditional orange. The buffet, though not huge, was very nice and still rather large, and very reasonable for only $36. The fruit was fresh and delicious, and they had a lovely spread with smoked salmon and lots of toppings for the bagels. I chose the made-to-order omelette station and had a full veggie omelette with lots of mushrooms. I also really enjoyed the sopes, something I don't often find these days. They were great, with slightly crispy bottoms and delicate toppings. The food was so good, I would have gone back for seconds or dessert pastries, but one can only eat so much. All in all, I highly recommend Boquet Restaurant for the brunch buffet, and some refreshing drinks on the relaxing patio.

It took about 40 minutes to get our food. It was not even that busy. When we checked in 20 minutes early, they said they were unable to seat us early so we sat outside and waited. We stared at our empty future table, and they ended up texting us and we got seated 4 minutes early at the table we saw was empty the whole time. That was weird. Anyways, I'd still come back, overall, it was a decent experience.

Every server and supervisor working was friendly and tentative to us. The ambiance is casual and they offer table and booth dining. The seating is comfy and spacious so you don't get the feeling you're on top of your neighbor. Even after the comedy show when it was packed you still had room to move and breath. Over this week I had the chicken pesto sandwich, chicken noodle soup, Pechanga burger, and the Pechanga breakfast. I really enjoyed everything but the chicken pesto sandwich. The sandwich lacked flavor even with the creamy best. It ahead a washed out watery flavor and the waitress was kind enough to remove it from the bill without me even requesting it. The chicken noodle soup truly tastes homemade with real slow cooked chicken in a rich and bold broth. It's packed with soft flavored veggies. I only wish it had a bit more egg noodles. The Pechanga burger was cooked to a perfect medium as requested. It comes with lettuce, cheese, tomato, onion, and a fried egg (cooked a perfect over medium). Sadly it doesn't include pickles and they charge you $1 when you request them. Also, just a suggestion, I think their fries are best extra crispy. When I forget to ask for them crispy they almost have an underdone taste. That's just an opinion. The Pechanga breakfast was fulfilling and you could share it with a second person. It comes with two eggs, toast of choice, bacon sausage or bacon, and choice of hash browns or Pechanga potatoes. I highly recommend the Pechanga potatoes(seasoned home fries). I chose ham and it's a small steak like piece of ham that's not too salty or sweet. It was grilled perfect. If you want a place that's reasonably priced and stays open 24hrs when staying here consider the cafe.

Upon arrival, the property checked one of my requirement boxes: paved parking. I cannot tolerate parking in dirt that removes the shine on my tires and rims. After some confusion, I finally arrived at the correct tasting room for non-members and began my tasting with assistance from Eric, a fine young gentleman who offered to guide me through my journey. He provided the history of the winery and the background of the various wines I sampled. I was not fond of their white wines, but their red wines possessed character, complexity, and depth. The price of the tasting was on the high end, but I enjoyed it all the same. The property is very large, and well-maintained, and also hosts a distillery, somewhat hidden in the form of a speakeasy of sorts. Didn't partake, but intend to return in the future to sample. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will give some thought to joining their membership. Great views atop the hill, and a mellow vibe. Thank you Eric! Great customer service.
