We went for brunch on a Saturday at 12pm with reservations so I can't speak about the wait times. It was packed with golfers who finished their rounds and people who came to enjoy the view. Our table overlooked the golf course and it was just such a beautiful sunny day. I hate brunch because I can never decide between ordering a sweet breakfast item or a savory lunch item. Ultimately I went with the French toast which was decent. I prefer a fluffier, more moist French toast than this one. However, my partner's burger was AMAZING. Such great flavor to it. read more

Loved the ambiance! The view from our table was so nice for dinner that we returned for brunch and sat outside. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Everyone we interacted with from the hostess to the servers to the bartender were so pleasant. It really does make the dining experience that much more enjoyable when people who enjoy their job are in the right places. The food and cocktails were so good! From the adults to the kids, we all enjoyed our meals. We can't wait to come back for our next staycation and try lunch! read more

If you happen to be in the area, ok, but I wouldn't go out of your way. You can rest, watch the game, have a drink, admire the view, but the food is just alright. Maybe it was bc we were at the bar in that in between lunch & dinner time. Decent enough but eh. read more

Met here with some girlfriends who drove up from San Diego for a Sunday brunch. I liked the idea of being somewhat far away from the crowd and it was my first time coming here so it was a great choice for us! I definitely appreciated the view. Service was great and friendly, but the food left me feeling torn. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and I felt really confused - there was a lot going on, the flavor was all over the place, there was caramelized and raw onion, and the chicken was a bit dry. I wonder if their dinner is any better, def willing to give it another shot! read more

We walked in and they said they could only se see us inside with a 10 minute wait or an hour wait outside. We chose to wait the hour, but we seated within a little over 30 minutes. The inside dining room is large and very pretty and the outside is nice and over. Looks at the golf course. Good ambience. The fish tacos were decent and the omelette was decent. Solid place. read more

We love this place. Our 1st time was a lovely experience inside. The food blew us away-especially the Pork Confit Hash. Such a wonderful flavor combination. They also have a great wine selection! We've been a few more times since then and sat outside with our pup. It's a lovely view of the golf course and the staff has always been so wonderfully accommodating to our dog. I've been meaning to review this place for a while now. It's our go to spot for breakfast/brunch when we visit Temecula. Get there friends! The food & staff is fantastic! read more

Finally a fantastic high end restaurant! Food, service, bar and atmosphere are all 5-stars.

Thank you CK for taking care of our big party last night and we are truly grateful for the accommodations provided to us as we celebrated a milestone birthday for our beloved friend! We enjoyed our appetizers and mocktails, but surprisingly the entrees underperformed for both my wife and I. I don't want to go into too much detail here, but I honestly feel any disappointment we had with the food was probably due to the size of our group, and honestly after such amazing appetizers are expectations were probably too high! THEE BEST part of our experience came from the graceful and talented wait staff who did their absolute best to keep us satisfied and happy. In particular Jessica, who we observed to always be wearing a smile. She was also very warm, welcoming, attentive, funny, thoughtful, and respectful. From meeting her during set-up (she and the whole staff were ultra helpful btw) to all the way until the cake cutting, we were utterly pleased with her service; because it was clear to us that anything and everything we asked of her (that was in her control) she executed fulfilling that request at a high level. If it were guaranteed that we would have her as our server, we would certainly return for the appetizers and drinks. read more

The best bread pudding ever!!! And the Korean fried chicken sandwich is delicious. Everything I've had here has been amazing and the service is great! Love coming here when it's cold out- it's especially romantic and cozy near the fire. read more

Corkfire is amazing. We stayed for the weekend and ended up dining here two nights in a row because the food kept us coming back for more.

I came for a post brunch gathering after my wedding day. I made a reservation ahead of time so we were able to be seated immediately with a large party of over 20 people. The service was good, the scenery was beautiful, and the food was tasty! I especially liked the Lox and Bagels! read more

My, my, my. What a wonderful experience we had at Corkfire Kitchen. Now, to be honest, we are old people who don't eat very much any more, so don't be surprised when tell you we had an appetizer order of duck meatballs that we shared then each had a salad (but the salads were almost young person entree size). The order of duck meatballs consisted of three meatballs each just slightly smaller than a baseball. They were presented covered with house made marinara and multiple pieces of delicious rustic bread. The meatballs were distractingly delicious. We shared those, but I could have eaten a serving of three alongside a small salad and been totally full (and thankful that chefs who can come up with those duck meatballs exist). The salads we each had were excellent, as well. I typically rate my salads based in the crispness of the greens, and these were prime, to say the least. However, as good as the food was, the highlight of the evening was our server, Jessica. This young woman is incredibly personable, very attentive to our needs and desires, and most of all, amazingly skilled in her craft. We come to Temecula several times a year, and with Corkfire Kitchen, have found a place we will probably come to each time we are in town. When we do come in, we will assuredly ask to be seated at a table being served by Jessica. After all, the food is only half of the enjoyment of an excellent meal. read more

The place is a bit hidden but a great place for brunch. The seating area looks very nice, overlooking the green of the golf course with huge windows letting plenty of light in. I got the coddled eggs and the cinnamon French toast. I was full to bursting near the end but the food was delicious. Service was great as well. Overall great place. read more

Corkfire Kitchen is an absolute gem tucked away in Temecula wine country! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the beautiful golf course. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant -- perfect for a romantic date night, a girls' brunch, or a special family celebration. The food? Incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We started with the artisan bread and the burrata -- both were fresh and delicious. I ordered the short rib hash for brunch, and it was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and paired so well with the crispy potatoes. My husband got the eggs benedict with smoked salmon, and he's still talking about it days later! They also have an impressive wine list (as expected in Temecula), and our server gave great recommendations that paired beautifully with our meal. The service was attentive and kind without being overbearing -- they really made us feel like welcomed guests. If you're in the area, Corkfire Kitchen is a must-visit. Great food, relaxing ambiance, and that unbeatable golf course view -- what more could you want? read more

Came here on a Monday around 6:15pm. We made a reservation but no one was up in front so we waited a bit. We got seated outside. Ordered the Prime steak it was they let us know they could only cook it medium rare. It tasted okay not to much flavoring. The cast iron Brussels sprouts was good. The chicken dish I don't remember the name was the best dish the potatoes purée was smooth and chicken tasted good. It got fairly busy so our table was not checked up on we had to go up front to pay and it took a while waiting. The staff was friendly and said sorry but it felt understaffed at some point I don't think they expected many people on a Monday. All in all for price to taste would eat elsewhere. read more

Our server, Sam, was so attentive and personable. The meal was exactly what I was looking for...fresh and clean. We ordered the eggplant hummus, burrata caprese, and fish tacos. 4 stars because it just took awhile to receive service in the beginning. read more

WOW what a gem! So we arrived around noon and were looking more for lunch than brunch. I ordered the Fish and chips mom had a hamburger. Our server Ty explained the seasonal cocktails and recommended the " Garden Party " he was spot on! Service was excellent the view overlooking the golf course is stunning. The bar area offers a nice rustic atmosphere with a fireplace. The place has a warm cozy feeling . The prices are quite reasonable for the quality & level of service. Definitely on my list for future visits read more

This review is specifically for their reservation management process because we didn't actually get to eat here (read more below). My husband called to make a reservation for our wedding anniversary. They booked our reservation over the phone. Then open table contacted my husband to add a credit card to hold the reservation. We added our credit card number and the day before we received several texts asking us to confirm the reservation. We did. On the day of our anniversary, we arrived at the restaurant on time only to be told that THE RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED FOR AN EVENT. What in the actual F? The staff said they weren't the restaurant staff but the banquet staff and there was nothing they could do for us. The took my husband's name and number but given their record of very poor communication, I'm not expecting a call. Two stars instead of one because the grounds were beautiful and if they could get their act together, it might be a nice experience. Update 1: the manager, Josh, did call my husband. He was apologetic and offered a round of drinks, an appetizer, and a dessert. I added a star to my review and will update again after we take him up on his offer. read more

3.4357 stars One of the draws to brunching here is the fact that they take reservations. Nobody hates braving the brunch crowd more than I do. I like that their brunch includes more than just your usual omelettes and skillets. I ordered the coddled eggs ($18). The eggs are coddled in cream, asparagus, bacon, and Gruyere. It comes with smashed potatoes and sourdough bread. This was rich! And good with the sourdough! My entree comically came with like 6 potatoes, so there was that. The kitchen oddly ran out of a lot of things the morning we brunched, so our choices were rather limited. Everyone's entree was fine, but nothing noteworthy to return to. They were also short staffed that morning so waiting in the heat to eat was a little excruciating. I think, though we aren't given a choice, people dine for the golf view? In that case, I'd highly recommend sitting inside where you can get the view from the entire dining room, or request a table facing the golf course. We were sadly seated on the side that resembled someone's backyard deck. It wouldn't have been so bad had it not been a thousand degrees, but it was a no view, very hot dining experience. read more

Very cozy, romantic vibe! I went for my birthday and the food was really tasty. The cocktails were okay (a bit pricey). Service was fast and super friendly! I feel like this spot would be ideal before sunset so you get a nice view. The hummus plate was my favorite! Served with fry bread. read more

I dont really write too many reviews but I stopped in to Cork Fire for a quick bite. Amazing! Great atmosphere and friendly yet professional service. I stayed longer due to the fact that I was overwhelmed by the food and hospitality. Time just flew. I am very picky with my Egg Benedicts and I'm glad I wasn't let down. Egg was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The pancakes were my favorite. Light fluffy and the jam made it perfect. Breakfast at Cork Fire is a must in Temecula. If you're ever near by, pay them a visit and enjoy the food and scenery. read more

Two weeks ago was my first time at Corkfire Kitchen, there were 10 of us. Everyone was very pleased with their choice, location, service and atmosphere. So good in fact, my husband and I went again yesterday for our anniversary dinner. We had the same waiter Triston (sp?) both evenings. What a wonderful, friendly and educated about the menu items. We started off with the Calamari and it was so tender. Husband had the Pesto Chicken sandwich and I had the Tempura Fish and Chips, both were fantastic. Taking my girlfriend there for brunch new week. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

07/13/24 - Late Post We came here to celebrate two birthdays and had a reservation for 12:30p.m. This day was extremely hot and coming from San Diego, I was not happy with the weather. I think there was an event because I had some difficulty circling and finding a parking spot when I came here but eventually find a spot. This was my first time here so I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. The place was very nice, and the temperature made up for the heat outside. We were sat by big windows, so we had a very nice view of the golf course. This place was busy. We ordered the following: * Appetizers: Wings, Hummus and a side of fry bread. * Meals: Brioche French Toast, CFK Burger and Carnitas Chilaquiles The wings had a korean inspired sauce and was really yummy. Not spicy for me at all. The hummus was also good but I think as a group, we enjoyed the flat bread a LOT. We didn't know what it was but it was yummy. I had the Carnitas Chilaquiles and it was good but found it too tart for my taste, but the meat itself was good. My friends enjoyed their meals except one of the burgers was on the dry side. Service was great, they also gave the bday celebrants dessert to celebrate. read more

Great place! Didn't know it was at the golf course but it's a cute little place with indoor and patio seating. Dog friendly on the patio, and plenty of space. Ordered the coddled egg which comes in a skillet with buttered toast on the side and potatoes. The egg was a poached one covered with cheese sauce, asparagus, and bacon. So yummy! The chilaquiles were so tasty and flavorful. The Carnitas had so much flavor not dry at all. The sauce was amazing, the tortillas are thick covered in this salsa sauce. For a place being in the golf course, it was pretty affordable . read more

Jessica was excellent, the dishes she suggested were impeccable. She also made a great suggestion for a vegetarian diner to make a dish vegetarian by putting the pancetta on the side for other diners to enjoy since we would be charged for it anyways. This is a simple but brilliant suggestion. The ambiance was welcoming and table was upscale and comfortable. Overall a delightful experience. read more

To make this short and concise, the service was off. The front end was good . Greeting and cocktails went well. The server seemed a little rushed to get our main dish. So we threw in an order for an appetizer. 30 minutes in we ordered the main dishes. The dishes came out in another 15 minutes, and were only at room temp. Maybe a little warmer. They seemed premade but I would no way of proving that other than the temp. My Chicken in wine reduction on potato purée was tender but room temp. Purée was very bland. Veggie side was mush. And now the server. We barely saw her. She did spend a lot of time talking with her colleagues around the service station. It was very noticeable. But the cocktails were nice. read more

Happy Valentine's Day. NOT! Service was terrible and surprisingly they weren't busy yet . We sat outside and we didn't have a server for 5 mins. We flagged someone down because we were completely ignored by two other servers out there even thought they noticed we still had nothing on the table. Someone got our server , Nathan. While he was super nice, he didn't apologize for being late or forgetting us. Drinks came out fast, so did the food. He said he'd be back with silverware and never did. By the time food came, the runner had to make two trips to bring us condiments and silverware. I politely let them hostess girls know, and they just said ok thanks! I didn't expect a free meal but I thought they'd care more that we wouldn't come back. They brushed it off. I'll be sure to let everyone know before they try here. read more

We went for brunch and the food was great! We ordered the Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros. I would've liked for them to offer a spicer salsa, but the food was still good. We sat outside, overlooking the golf course. It's a beautiful view if you sit outside. Our waitress was friendly and our food arrived pretty quickly. Our plates were around $20 each, which is expected at a place like this. read more

We keep coming back to dine at Cork Fire Kitchen because the food and service is always good. There seems to be new items on the menu each time, though I am glad the coddled egg breakfast is still on the menu-it's one of my favorites. My meal today started with a Bloody Mary, which was a meal in itself and so yummy. There was just enough horseradish to give it a little bit of a delicious kick, a slice of bacon, and two green olives. Appetizer was the dry rub chicken wings, which tasted like it was coated in crushed BBQ potato chips and garnished with colorful sliced carrots. Beware--they were messy and left orange remnants all over our mouth and on our hands. While they were tasty and cooked well, I'll pass on these next time for something not so messy! The entree was carnitas chilaquiles, shared with hubby. Layers of tortilla chips covered in the delicious carnitas in a green sauce and topped with two eggs. It's a really big portion and I was glad we shared it. The restaurant has comfortable seating and is nicely decorated. We like the booths next to the windows where you can watch golfers finishing up at the 18th hole and the decorative waterfall/pond. After our meal we strolled through their chefs garden. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we will be back! read more
