    Harvest Sandwich with fries, and Spanish omelette with potatoes.
    Robert H.

    We stopped by on our way to do a winery p. I love exploring new places and getting out of my comfort zone. So after doing other errands and having a very empty stomach, ended up here. The good: the food was delicious. The flavors were very complimentary and exceeded my expectations. The bad: the wait time from our order being taken to food arriving was far far longer than expected, especially considering how slow it seemed as it was towards the end of their business day. Another group was observed also growing in curiosity as to why it was taking so long to get our meals. It was also odd when another group arrived after we did and got their meal right away, while we waited 20-25 minutes. This was especially odd considering it appeared to be a slower day as well. The in between: the decor inside has a nice relaxing vibe, however the seating of tables does not lend itself towards any expectation of privacy or a subdued atmosphere, as they are put together fairly close to the point where even low talkers can be eaves dropped upon without effort. Overall, it was a good stop but would have been better had the meals not taken so long to arrive at the table.

    The cozy pair.

    Palomar Village location extremely accessible including parking. Service very welcoming. Breakfast and lunch has been great without long waits, experienced so far. Omelette options are basic, fluffy but slightly over and needed seasoning. The house potatoes...,crispy, pillowy and delicious. The "Cozy pair" composed of an excellent butternut squash bisque and half a grilled Brie sandwich is delightful. Structural assembly could be improved allowing the enjoyment of the bite. No phone number provided for this location, unfortunately no military discount offered. Lorimar winery membership are welcome and take out was available while running errands. Will return. To date, highly recommend.

    We've been waiting for the Lorimar Cafe to open. Since the Lorimar Loft closed, this is now our other Lorimar spot. We were impressed when walked in, real nice seating and upholstery similar to the wine club at Lorimar. We've been wine club members 10 years. They've got the best reds! So the food here is good. We've only tried two items so far. The loaded bagel was awesome. My wife had the Korean chicken sandwich, and she loved it. Nice ambiance here. I like that you can get your wine club glasses and get 10% off the menu food. Thanks, Mark it was worth the weight!

    A great place to eat. The service was excellent. And the prices were reasonable. A great place to bring your family.

    A charming restaurant. Very chill morning vibe, but friendly and attentive service. My husband's breakfast sandwich with bacon and potatoes was so good! The bacon was thick and flavorful. Beautiful brioche bun. The right amount of tasty sauce. And the addition of sweet potatoes in the potato mix was amazing (crisp outside, creamy interior). My veggie omelet was excellent. I love the small dice on the bell peppers, lovely amount of vegetables as well. My mimosa with OJ was especially refreshing as well. Patrick was an excellent server. If we lived close by we would be regulars!

    We came here with 7 of us. The music was excellent but just too loud for us. We were going to leave but our server, Kari was so amazing, we decided to stay. She was incredible! So nice, informative, attentive and helpful!

    This place, hands down, is THEEEEEE BEST BRUNCH SPOT IN TEMECULA!!! Thank you Josh for making our visit memorable. This cafe is absolutely adorable-- perfect for a quick instagram photo op, brunch, lunch, date night or a quick drink!

    Weekday Specials!

    Great fresh food and great service. Had an excellent breakfast croissant with the best potatoes ever! No wait for a table. Will be coming back.

    Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich - Fried chicken breast, wasabi slaw, pickles & spicy aioli on brioche bun
    Chelsea C.

    So glad we stopped by and can't wait to come back. Greeted by several employees when we walked in and got seated right away. Still in their soft open phase, but it was great and I can't wait to watch this place to continue to grow and evolve! We were able to use our winery membership discount, and get our complimentary glasses of wine (so awesome!). Service was great, Linda was attentive, friendly and professional. Inside there are several tables and booths, as well as bar seating. Beer and wine available! Food items were limited, but perfect for a quick bite with a glass of wine. The Korean fried chicken sandwich was amazing! Can't wait to come back!

I loved the self-serve wine concept, it was so easy to sample different wines and choose exactly how much I wanted to pour. They had an impressive selection, and it made the experience feel relaxed and interactive. I ordered an appetizer and grabbed a seat by the window which ended up being the perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon. The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and beautifully decorated, and the employee working that day was incredibly sweet and welcoming. I also love that it's located in Old Town Temecula. The whole area is charming and perfect for strolling before or after a glass of wine. Overall, this was such a relaxing experience, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Temecula. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique wine tasting experience in a cute and comfortable setting!

The self-serve wine bar is the star of the show. You load a card and use a tap system to pour by the taste, half glass, or full pour, making it incredibly easy to explore wines at your own pace without any pressure. The selection is extensive, with plenty of varietals to work through, and the staff is warm and attentive without being overbearing. Located just off Front Street and tucked toward the back of Old Town, it has a naturally intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date night or a low-key evening out. We haven't tried the food menu yet, but we're already looking forward to going back. If you want a great wine experience without driving out to the wineries, Humble Somm is exactly the answer. Highly recommend.

Tucked away off the main road, this place feels quiet, intimate, and incredibly charming, with dark walls, candlelight, and wine bottles lining the walls. We arrived at an off hour around 5 PM, so it was especially peaceful. The menu is simple and straightforward, with a generously curated wine list to match. We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Crab Dip with a delicious house baguette ($19) and the Pepperoni Focaccia Slab ($17), and everything was fantastic. The ambiance, the food, the wine--it all came together perfectly. The gray sky at sunset somehow made the whole experience feel even more atmospheric and intimate. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and happy to talk about the surrounding area. I will absolutely make a point to stop by again if I am ever back in Temecula.

Inside, the ambiance reminds me of Nor Cal - SF with a cool neighborhood restaurant where the surrounding area melts away. It's classy yet unpretentious. We took my Yelp friend Lori out for her birthday and we all chose the price fixe meal. The entrance can be confusing only because the front door jams shut and one has to go through the back of the restaurant. You get 4 course plus a bread course and amuse bouche. Let's pause for the bread course. This bite sized piece of heaven is otherworldly. They need to serve more of it throughout the meal. The chef's starter was lovely and then we settled into our meal. It will be European style service so definitely let them know if you need to hit a show or movie. From the four courses we tried a bit of everything: Beef tartar (wonderful and innovative version of this dish), foraged mushrooms, charred cabbage, beet passionfruit salad, filet mignon, duck confit, and the only dessert that matters: charred butter cake. All were stellar!! Not a miss on the menu and all at 5 star quality. We also had tea and a cocktail, again both were outstanding. The service needs refinement though. It's a step below Michelin level fine dining indeed. I brought two bottles of wine, corkage $25 each, and never once was our glasses filled. I filled up everyone's glasses all night. This was irritating as not only did I pay corkage, but they added $10 tip to corkage with automatic 20% tip at end. The server did not deserve that extra $10 although she was lovely throughout the meal except for one more misstep. After the main meal was over, I wanted to have some more of that wondrous bread and was told the kitchen was closed. We were never warned about this. Every restaurant tells the guests at least 15 minutes before the kitchen closes. Other than those minor mistakes, this was a fine dining meal not found anywhere else in this part of S Cal/Riverside County. Highly recommended!!

From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!
