Good here is awesome! They don't have a huge menu but what I had Spicy Chicken sandwich was delicious! Generous portions and good flavor. Great staff and good drinks. The restaurant gets busy, I'd recommend making a reservation for best seating. Lots of great outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful weather and winery. read more

Great food Service and environment. Is not just a meal, is an experience The view is one of the best views in Temecula wine valley. read more

Tucked inside Altissima winery along the Portola wine trail, this is another good solid choice for a nice relaxing dining experience around Temecula area. Great food, drink and efficient yet friendly service, even for non-member. Short rib is super tender and delicious, comes with equally wonderful potato gratin as the perfect companion. The sea bass risotto is also a tasty creamy dish which is heartwarming on a chilly day in the wine country. read more

Went here for lunch on a Saturday and we had a great time! Food was good, service was great and the views were amazing. It does get packed which is expected on a weekend. Our server Xavier was so attentive and friendly and one other staff, I believe his name's Noah, was also very helpful. read more

Very cute lunch spot with a view! Our server JT was great, and the food was good too. We just got through a few appetizers between my mom and I before we got full because the portions were huge. read more

One of my favorite winery restaurants! Definitely make reservations since this winery is always busy and the food is made well with some more upscale options. The have ceviche which was done pretty well and the pastas here are delicious too! Hard to beat with a great wine selection too. The service can a bit delayed since it is busy most of the time but still very enjoyable! Great atmosphere with the vineyard outside too! read more

We have been members since just after they opened, so we come here a lot, but this last weekend was even more exceptional than usual. We brought a group of 10 (5 couples) for lunch at Gaspar's. The food and drinks were amazing as usual, especially the Catalan shrimp appetizer. The best part was the outstanding service provided by our server, JT. He made things super easy, and gave just the right amount of service. It's an art when a server strikes that perfect balance between not interrupting too much and not checking up on you enough. JT gave us our space, but was always there at the right times for refills, additional drinks, and then the check. He even took our group photo. He's a real pro, and our group was impressed with our experience. read more

We recently joined the wine club here, so we decoded to come try the restaurant on our second visit. The service and views were all great! We shared the spicy chicken sandwich, which was a generous size. We got truffle fries as our side which were very tasty. For drinks, the Peach Mint sangria was delicious!! I also tried the Ginger Sangria which reminded me a lot of a classic mule. If you come on the weekend, I recommend a reservation as it got pretty busy. read more

Came at 11:11 on a Tuesday, place was not busy when we came. Ordered sangrias and then our food. Service was crazy slow today. I've eaten here before and food service was better before. Once we got our food mine was totally cold including the fries. Ordered the chicken sandwich. Sent it back . Took just as long to get the new order. Was really disappointed with the taste of the sandwich as well. I ordered the truffle fries but my friend ordered regular, the regular fries are better read more

My folks are members at Altisima, and they kindly made lunch reservations for us on Sunday at 2pm. I'd gotten us tickets to see the 4pm showing of Cirque Ma'Ceo at Galway Downs, and since Gaspar's is only only a few miles from that venue, it was the perfect setting for a pre-show meal. The one indoor table that they offered us was practically in the entrance, and right next to several large parties that were celebrating loudly. My parents wouldn't have been able to hear & converse comfortably in that location, and so we waited for a table on the outside covered patio. A table on the patio opened up about 10 minutes later, and Liz, a very bubbly and helpful server, was bringing our drinks over just minutes after we ordered them. I really appreciated when she was super patient when listening to my dad's many questions about the menu. She took our order, and about ten minutes later, our entrees were presented to us. My dad's grilled cheese with crispy truffle steak fries was hearty and delicious. Usually, steak fries are not my favorite, but these were perfectly cooked and the truffle seasoning was on point. Mom's Burrata salad was fresh and the figs and burrata complemented the greens. It was lightly dressed and an ample portion. My Sea Bass was throughly cooked, but was unseasoned and somewhat bland. The saffron risotto was lukewarm and a bit clumpy. It did not have the smooth consistency of other risotto I've tried. I'm not sure if it was arborio rice either which is the optimal rice for a risotto dish. For a pricey entree, I would've liked the flavors to really pop. The Sauv Blanc and Peach Mint Sangria went with our meals nicely. Verdict: The setting on the patio was quite busy, even later in the afternoon on a Sunday. The view from the patio of the mountains to the East is really quite lovely, and the restaurant and winery are modern and welcoming. There is plenty of parking on the property, and it is definitely worth a visit! (When I return, I would not get the Sea Bass again though, I'd probably get the grilled cheese with truffle fries! :) ) read more

Our bed and breakfast hotel recommended Altísima for their frozen margaritas, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did. It is a gorgeous winery with panoramic views. We went on a Friday afternoon and started with a tasting. Afterward, we decided to grab a table for lunch before heading to another winery. Dalton sat us and was super friendly. He answered all my questions about the atmosphere and frozen margaritas. Our server, Ally, was sweet and attentive. We ordered the Altísima burger with truffle fries (I devoured it before I thought about taking a picture). It was so good, I was craving it the next day! For dessert, we ordered the sticky toffee cake, which was good as well. We had to try their frozen margaritas as it came highly recommended, and honestly, they were the highlight. It was refreshing and something different from our traditional wines we ordered. After lunch, we lounged in the chairs outside, soaking up the sun, the views, and the live music. Gaspar's ended up being our favorite restaurant of the trip, and Altísima was our favorite winery. We will definitely be back! read more

Had the ALTISIMA BURGER at Gaspar's (inside Altísima Winery) and it did not disappoint. Juicy short rib & chuck blend, Havarti, caramelized onions, fried egg, jalapeños, and their signature sauce on a toasted brioche bun -- every bite was packed with flavor. Paired it with their Sangiovese and it was a perfect match. Who says you can't have red wine with a burger? The atmosphere is modern, relaxed, and surrounded by vineyard views. Great service, too. A must-visit if you're in Temecula. read more

I came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my best friend, and we seriously had the best time ever! The whole staff was so sweet and welcoming, but Jo (with no E!) totally stole the show. He was funny, super attentive, and just had the best energy the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about making people's day. What really got me was the attention to detail -- he even surprised me with churros at the end with a pink candle and sang happy birthday! It was such a small thing but honestly made my day. Everything from start to finish felt so thoughtful and fun. Huge thank you to Jo and the whole crew for making my birthday feel extra special. 10/10 -- can't wait to come back! read more

The waiter told us the calamari was frozen..the service is terrible now. Im not sure what happened but it was embarrassing to bring my in laws here. Hostess always asks if we are members, which is uninviting. We are not members, but we have dined here atleast five times and live down the street. Disappointing. Prefer the wineries in Napa and Sonoma. read more

So this is a little mixed for me, here we go. The service was good but I've had better service here. The burrata salad was excellent, my husband loved his burger, however my steak was well done not medium like I asked. We're members here so I'm sad to write this. Hopefully it's better next time we go. read more

Excellent food and the service is always top notch. Order the charcuterie board before you indulge in the delicious steak and frites! Enjoy with friends and family! read more

Visited this brunch spot with my girlfriends located inside Altisima Winery for Saturday brunch and I have to say - what a beautiful restaurant. We had a party of 5 which you don't need to make reservations for- it's more of a first come first serve experience, but with a party of 9 or more- you should definitely make reservations. It got busy very quickly, so glad we arrived 30 mins after they opened. We were seated immediately and chose to be inside vs. outside due to the hour wait for outdoor seating which overlooked the winery ( very beautiful) & it was too hot to be sitting outside anyways. We ordered a few tapas and one main entree. Started with the grilled octopus, fried calamari, bread and butter, heirloom tomato burrata salad & seared tuna sashimi & mussel pasta (a little too sweet for my taste). Everything we had was absolutely delicious! My favorite had to be the Heirloom tomato and burrata salad- I was surprised by the peaches in it! What a perfect summer salad! Everything came out hot and so fast even though they were extremely busy! I know we were at a winery & you would think we would order wine or something, but I saw an Espresso Martini with an Irish twist- I had to get one!! Which became two! It was so good and strong- it was actually perfect for brunch- It had somewhat of a sour but sweet taste- I think it was the Irish cream they use. If we didn't do the wine tasting afterwards- I'd order another one and call it a day! Also, Ally our server was so attentive and very friendly! It made our experience even better! I want to go back! read more

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant over the weekend and were really looking forward to the experience. When we arrived, we checked in with the hostess at the front (this past Saturday) and were told it would be about an hour and a half wait. We were fine with that and decided to stay. However, we noticed several tables remained empty and multiple groups who arrived after us were being seated ahead of us. After about an hour, I went to check in again with the hostess -- who, to my surprise, acted very rudely. She told me she didn't see our name on the list and asked to see the device I had checked in on. It appeared that she hadn't actually keyed in our reservation properly. Without much apology, she said, "I'll just seat you now." This experience was incredibly disappointing. Mistakes happen -- but the attitude and lack of accountability from the hostesses made it so much worse. If you're the face of the restaurant, customer service should be a top priority. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. On a positive note, once we were seated, our server was kind and attentive, and the food was enjoyable. But the way the front staff handled the situation left a really bad taste in our mouths. I hope the management takes the opportunity to address this -- first impressions matter, especially at a winery that positions itself as a premium destination. read more

Come for the view, stay for the food! This restaurant is located inside Altisima Winery - We were wine tasting and made the mistake of eating lunch elsewhere. We were told to come here for the view but the food was exceptional. Next time we will absolutely have a full meal here! Every dish we watched the wait staff walk by with looked better than the previous one! The smells were amazing. I loved our cheese board - I'm a huge truffle fan and the Merlot cheese was such a hit. The jalapeño jam was delicious on everything and the honey was so fresh. The entire experience was outstanding! read more

We came on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary and got a few glasses of wine and some apps. It was a very windy day but it was still nice to sit on the patio and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The wines were great and the appetizers were a good size. The flavors of the appetizers were good but the jamon Serrano could have used butter or cheese from the bread as it was a little dry! The calamari was amazing and very lightly breaded. We would order it again! read more

Oh how I love this winery! I was planning to bring my in-laws here with me but my niece's kid is an absolute terror and I did not want to be responsible for killing anyone's buzz on such a beautiful day...but I digress. Lol. The co-habby and I ended up going with a fave couple of ours to celebrate both of our 20th wedding anniversaries! Such a crazy coincidence that we all got married on the same exact day down to the year. And we are so glad we chose Altisima Winery for our twin anni double date. Note: Gaspar's Restaurant. They welcome guests on a first-come-first serve basis according to their website and we were the first ones to arrive. The young male host who initially sat us was a tad rude and tried to place us in a sunny spot but we wanted something with a bit more shade. He said "well, we're gonna be really busy today so let me check." Umm, first come first serve, no reservations? He sat us one table down like he was doing us a huge favor. No big deal but it kind of killed our vibe a bit. On a happier note, our server was absolutely awesome! He made some recommendations on wines, cocktails and appetizers/entrees. Everything was delectable and the libations were some of the best I've had out here in Temecula. We visit wineries every 2 months or so and want to try as many as possible. This winery is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. And that says alot as we've probably frequented about 15 wineries in the area. By far our favorite to date! There is a lovely outdoor area if you choose to nix the food and enjoy the wine tasting. Plenty of seats with an absolutely gorgeous view of wine country. Let's talk about the food and booze: Sangria Flight: we ordered 2 of these. So refreshing and tasty. My favorites were the Pomegranate, Mango and one that tasted like a Moscow Mule. Yum! Gaspar's Grilled Cheese: Jenny and I both ordered this one OH EM GEE, I need to order 10 more of these to take home! Grilled sourdough, jamon serrano, manchego & burrito. Made even better with parmesan truffle fries. 10 stars. Catalan Gambas: Shrimp in garlic confit with a spicy catalan sauce with crostini. The sauce was so good we told our server to not take it away so we could dip our fries in it. Lord Jeezus. Gaspar's Steak and Frites: the boys ordered this and were pretty darn happy with their entrees. Your choice of rib eye or filet mignon topped with chimichurri sauce. Divine. Churros: our amazing server gave us a complimentary dessert of fresh churros with cinnamon sugar and chocolate sauce, fresh, hot and crispy. Yes please and thank you! When I tell you I love this place, I mean it from the top of my head to the tips of toes. Thank you Altisima for making this such a wonderful experience for us. read more

We were lookin for a winery that had a good menu too and decided to try this place out. At first impression, we loved the open patio and views. It was followed by friendly service and delicious wines and food. To start, we ordered a couple glasses of white wine, a flight of sangrias and a froze - all so yum! Onto the apps, we had: charcuterie - so good, loved the unique flavor additions and the amount they give you, truffle fries - I mean, can you ever go wrong with these?! We ordered a burger and a couple of chicken sandwiches - all were so good and large portions. I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

Stellar food with a picturesque view! Visited Gaspar's Restaurant yesterday with my best friend for her belated birthday lunch. I didn't have the highest expectations as it is difficult to find a winery restaurant that has a good experience that matches the view and scenery. I was so pleasantly surprised! The property itself is stunning. A modern and elevated tasting room followed by a restaurant and patio of panoramic views of the De Portola wine trail-- there really isn't a bad view from any seat. We ordered the patatas bravas as an appetizer and it was delicious! The potatoes were well seasoned and perfectly soft inside with a crisp exterior. The saffron aioli was a perfect compliment to the potatoes, I wish I had more! For entrees we both opted for the California chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and flavorful complimented with a soft ciabatta bun and more of that delicious saffron aioli that added a lovely herb flavor to the sandwich. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. He recommended the cauliflower salad as a side that I opted for. It unfortunately didn't do much for me, didn't get the herbed flavor it described and it tasted as it sounds, cold roasted cauliflower. Overall, we had a great experience! Can't wait to visit again and see if it's a consistent experience! read more

The serrano jalapeno small plate was ok. Could have used a little more of the frosted bread. The baguette was good. Loved the butter and was $8 ok for a winery I guess. We ate those two items outside on the first come first serve lawn area while we waited for our table. We also got a frozen mango wine and the pomegranate one as well and both were good. We got seated and I ordered the grilled cheese and a friend ordered the burger (we split them as we wanted to try both) The grilled cheese was really yummy. Loved the cheese and it was grilled perfectly. The serrano inside was a perfect touch of flavor. I totally recommend this. The burger was also good. Cooked and seasoned well. The fries were perfectly crispy and they gave a good amount. My friend got the salmon burger and he liked it as well. We got the pistachio ice cream for dessert and it was totally worth it. Excellent and delicious. Perfect on a hot day. read more

5 stars for Jo (no 'E') great service and table side manner; new menu gets 3 stars. Honestly, food has gone downhill since we've joined a year and half ago. Bring back chef John! 1 star for live music, awful, guy was tone deaf and he made happy songs sound like sadness, it killed the vibe, so glad it ended by the time we had dinner. Definitely need to update the music vibe with a DJ playing some afro house to chill to with that awesome view of the hills. Wine is always good. read more
