    Our server was wonderful and we had a spectacular view! However, my steak came out lukewarm-tasted like it had been plated for over 10 minutes before it got to me. I was bummed out they stopped serving calamari too.

    Happy birthday to me! Treated to lunch and the experience was awesome! Lush green golf course, crisp delicious Fish n Chips, fresh green salad, and the perfect Sauvignon Blanc. Totally enjoying my birthday

    Came here for a friend's birthday this past weekend and I wish the experience was better. We were pretty excited to try this place since it had decent reviews. The minute you walked in, the ambiance just wasn't it. Perhaps because we were the only minorities there and everyone else wasn't (including the staff) but it was uncomfortable having people stare at us while we were eating and having our own conversations. Someone came to get our drink order and then it took a bit of time for our actual waiter Leila to come take our order. She did mention she was doing something else. we ordered the steak and frites and their pork chop which was the special of the day. I ordered my steak medium rare and the rest of the table ordered it in medium. When the steaks came out, the waiters seem confused as if they weren't sure which plates went where and when asked if that's a medium rare steak, they stated yes. That steak was medium and it was also dry and under seasoned. It was also tough and chewy. The fries were either undercooked or overcooked. Chimichurri sauce had no flavor to it. We did also order the cedar salad which was delicious. Their calamari and wings were as well. At the end of the night, Leila asked our friend how he liked his steak because it didn't seem like he ate anything. He said it was okay and she kept insisting you can be honest and kept pushing the matter. This was extremely uncomfortable because there was no need to make him feel like he was put on the spot. while I understand the need to want feedback, if your guest says it's okay and seem uncomfortable, maybe leave it at that. She then came over to me and asked about my steak and again saying, "you can be honest." Why wouldn't I be? I did tell her the steak was cooked incorrectly, that was not a medium steak and pointed out that it was dry. There was this awkward silence at the table because honestly there wasn't a need to keep pushing. Simply asking how was it would have suffice. They did end up comping my steak which was nice of them however the entire experience just wasn't pleasant. From the ambiance, to the crowd, to the food - wasn't worth it.

    Breakfast wet burrito
    Jan H.

    First I just want to say, the only reason I didn't give this five stars was because of the parking situation. When looking ahead I thought for sure there would be no issue because the lot is big. However it turns out there was a kids tournament going on, so we had to walk pretty far. I didn't see a mention of this on the restaurant website, or I could have planned ahead or adjusted the time. I will say once we were inside the service was great. We were probably greeted and seated by the nice holsters. We had someone come over almost right away to bring us water. The atmosphere is very nice, and a great spot for a date night or just lunch with friends. It's a pretty large dining area, and the views are absolutely gorgeous. For the food I have the breakfast wet burrito, and I would 100% have this again. It's something I've not seen on another menu that I can recall, so I definitely had to give it a try. It came with fries on the inside but that's not how I prefer it, so I asked for them on the side, and as you can see in the photos they gave me much more then I'm sure would have been in the burrito. And the portion size was huge, and the sauce on the burrito was so good I ate almost the whole thing. Someone else at our table had the Benedict's and while they were a little more cooked than I would have liked them, they were happy with their meal, and said that the side potatoes were amazing. Definitely come here if you have a chance. They do take reservations which is a plus, and parking is plentyful for as long as there's not an event going on.

    This is one of my favorite brunch places because of the view and selection of brunch items. The service is also great. I didn't have to chase anyone down as someone was always available. The only improvement needed is the parking. If there's an event, parking isn't guaranteed. Sometimes you're circling around the parking lot a few times just waiting for someone to leave.

    思念過往時,彷彿風中飄過的每一片落葉,都是帶著以前的故事和回憶,秋意漸濃, 風高雲淡, 樹影斑駁,枯葉輕飄的秋天,就是會讓人多了幾分惆悵與思念~ 除了去吃聖地亞哥的海鮮之外, 最近剛去Temecula 參加朋友的婚禮, 我們待的飯店是高爾夫球的渡假村, 我好喜歡那裡的環境呀,這次過去才知道其實Temecula 離我家也才一個小時多一點而已,跟我去LA downtown 時間其實是差不多的,但幾十年來居然沒有去過,而度假村裡的飯店,東西做的非常好吃,尤其是他家的羊排, 真心令人驚艷,我超愛,一點都不輸LA 的大餐廳, 有點驚訝鄉下地方的餐廳有如此的水準,那天我喝了杯調酒也非常好喝,如果來Temecula 渡假, 可以訂這家餐廳試試, 應該不會讓你失望的!

    Setting: TCI has a lovely property and the short ride up the driveway to the restaurant is lush and green. We found parking right away and walked in for our 3:30 Thanksgiving Day reservation. We waited for a few minutes and we were then seated at nice booth in the main dining room. I loved the main Edison bulb chandelier and overall, the lighting was pleasant. I also appreciated the small touches like the fork door handle, silverware light fixture in the entrance and the cozy fireplace in the bar area. The view of the golf course and the mountains is also really lovely. Layla took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food: There was a special menu today for Turkey day. It was a little bit light on choices, but we managed. :) We ordered Calamari & Caesar Salad for apps. Both were plentiful portions and tasty! The Calamari was crisp & fresh and the accompanying spicy aioli was perfect. The Caesar was a huge portion and plenty for us to share. It was as expected & full of crunchy croutons and fresh romaine. My Turkey entree was a nice sized portion, but on the pricey side at $49! The three thick slices of white meat were juicy and perfectly cooked. The potatoes & stuffing were filling. My favorite accompaniment was the broccolini with caramelized onions. Yum! (I even had some leftovers to take home!) Mom's Fish & Chips were fine she said, but the fish was a little bland & dry. Dad loved his burger and ate every bite. The fries on both were crisp and flavorful. We were all a little disappointed that the menu didn't have other elevated entrees (such as steak, pork, or salmon) for those guests who did not want turkey. The bread pudding was a bit dry, but it was a a huge portion & my folks enjoyed it. My pumpkin pie was delish! I loved the homemade whipped cream & the hazelnut crumbles. The wine was lovely and complemented the meal well. Verdict: Overall, this was a nice experience in a pleasant environment. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to celebrate another safe and healthy holiday with my folks! Cheers!

    5/5 We loved the experience here! Celebrated my bday in Temecula. I wish we came here for brunch so we could see the views. Regardless, the food was amazing and I wish I live closer so I can eat it all the time! The coq au vin was to die for and the Brussels sprouts were so delish! The service was also very attentive.

    Nachos fries
    amy w.

    Came here for brunch before heading over to Pachanga casino. Enjoyed a bottle of wine with some delicious good. The fish tempura taco was crispy and delightful. Our server was super friendly and with an exceptional smile. Ambience was relaxing and overlooking the golf course. This is fine dining but without an uptight atmosphere.

    Blueberry lavender salad with chicken
    Stephanie B.

    Corkfire Kitchen overlooks a beautiful golf course in Temecula. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit inside as it was a 100 degree day! The view from our seat was awesome with floor to ceiling windows overlooking waterfalls and the course. Service: Service could've been better. I had to ask multiple times for a few things like a high chair, kids menu, milk, etc. Food: we started with the nachos and added chicken. The nachos were good, but could've used more chicken. The beans and cheese sauce were well seasoned, we were the chips. I ordered the blueberry lavender salad with grilled chicken, which was good, but not worth $27. My husband got the herb and burrata omelette, which he enjoyed. It was large and came with a decent amount of roasted potatoes. I was pleasantly surprised that the kids menu had a grilled chicken with fruit option that also came with a choice of drink (milk for him). This would be a nice place to grab brunch after visiting the golf course or wineries.

    Farmhouse, vibe restaurant with a beautiful view of the golf course. Wonderful service. Outstanding food and drinks. Wonderful place to enjoy a meal with friends.

    Waldorf buratta salad so good
    Bellamara B.

    I brought my girlfriends here last monday for our MLK Brunch. It was their first time, and they love both the food and ambience . After they finished their meals , I shared my pancake and burrata with them. It such a relaxed spot that we end up staying for about 2 hours. Forgot his name but our server is awesome!

    Tacos & tequila dinner welcome cocktail
    Amanda P.

    I've attended several special dinners here at Corkfire and one that took place at Peltzer winery (with food done by Chef Ben/ Corkfire) and I've yet to rave about how amazing they are. When I say special I'm talking out of this world dining experiences. From the "Pecking Order" poultry dinner with Peltzer wine pairing to the Tacos and Tequila event with Califino, each one is so fun and the food is always phenomenal. The ambience upon arrival at each event is always a wonderful surprise. The expertly crafted welcome cocktails are a nice touch. The tables are decorated beautifully, the views are spectacular and the ambience feels very elegant yet inviting. Chef Ben is a mastermind when it comes to creating dishes to excite and tantalize. The creativity that comes with pairing different spirits to curated dishes has been so exciting to experience. If you've never been to one of these events I strongly suggest you attend. Once you've taken part you will find it hard to skip the next. I've recognized many familiar faces each time. We all wait anxiously for the announcement of what Chef Ben will do next!

We ordered the Dealer's Choice, which was refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.

As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had.

The fromagé plate had a variety of cheeses, seedless red grapes, dried apricots, fig preserve spread and additionally a plate of bread... perfect for sharing or not. The saxophone player played contemporary music which was all entertaining as I noshed and sipped vino.

    I am pleasantly surprised from my recent visit here tonight. I came once or twice before and wasn't…read morewowed but I'm glad it was different this time. We came in craving a good seafood boil and left completely blown away. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--every bite was on point. The shrimp, crab, and sausage were all cooked perfectly, and the sauce was next level very flavorful. But what really made the experience stand out was our server, Natalie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving great service, and it made the whole meal even better. If you're looking for a spot with incredible seafood and top-tier service, this is it. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Early on in her life Toby had a traumatic incident involving her hands and has been phobic about…read moreanything untoward getting on them while she could avoid it. This includes food. Because of this I've never been able to share the gloriousness that is a full seafood boil, especially a good one like Pier 88. The headless peel n' eat shrimp and crawfish, the true backbone of any decent boil, were plump and delicious. I felt kind of giddy every time I would finish one and saw how many were left. The lobster tail was a good change-of-pace and the king crab legs, admittedly not my favorite item, still managed to satisfy. I also like how they threw in so much potatoes and sausage into the mix. It was definitely super generous at what other places consider an afterthought. I thought the service was alright. They seemed to have forgotten one of my party's margaritas but that could have been more a slow bartender than an inept server. I also never got a prompt to refill my soda, which is a little more concerning. The ambiance was pretty good. There were plenty of tables and booths, and everything was spaced appropriately. You definitely don't feel like you're on top of the tables around you. They also had plenty of TV's as the World Cup was easy to watch along with. I could be happy here any time I get the craving for some shrimp and crawfish. And as long as the servers were more diligent about refills. One time I'll figure out how to get Miss Scotch herself to one of these things, dirty hands be damned. I'd say getting your hands in the muck and mire of delicious foods is half the fun. And with places like Pier 88 out there, you could be having a fun time and a full belly every day of the week.
