My friends and I went to Temecula for a wine tasting weekend for my friend's birthday. We were looking for a place to have dinner before heading out to listen to some music. We chose Luke's due to the positive reviews and the fact that they offered reservations and rooftop dining. When we arrived, staff was friendly. We were promptly seated at our outdoor table. I had hoped for a nice view of Old Town, but our view was actually of an empty lot. The menu contains a large amount of Amarican fare, generally bar food. The cocktails offered were basic, not crafted cocktails. My friends each ordered a spritz. I ordered a take on a mimosa called the "Bad Mom Mimosa". It was OK. We decided to share the empanadas, as our server spoke highly of them. We also shared the truffle Mac and the fried artichoke hearts. The Mac was creamy and had a really good truffle flavor. I'm glad we shared three ways, as it would have been too rich. The empanadas were pretty good, though nothing too out of the ordinary. The artichoke hearts were disappointing, as they had too much batter and little artichoke. When we were done, my friend was offered either the chocolate cake or the cheesecake as a dessert. It was nice of them to offer a free birthday dessert. She chose the chocolate cake. Unfortunately, our server forgot our spoons. We waited and waited... and I had to run in and ask for some. Once we had spoons, we found that the cake was too overly sweet to eat. There was another wait before we left as they were cleaning the bathrooms. I'm glad they clean the bathrooms, but to do both at the same time on a Saturday night was a bit much as a line was forming. Between waiting for the spoons and the bathroom, we were more than ready to leave. All in all, Lukes is an OK place to grab a bite or a drink, but I would probably try other restaurants in the area before returning. read more

Luke's was honestly a letdown, especially for how much we were looking forward to it. Save your time, they were slow, and your money. First off, the place did not feel clean. The floors were noticeably messy, some might even say gross. There were random spills that clearly had not been wiped up, and even the bathrooms were bad. Should we really be able to see a plunger and a dirty toilet brush while washing our hands? Service-wise, our waitress was nice, but overall it was slow. We waited a long time for our first round of drinks, and when the food finally came out, it was not even hot, which made it even more frustrating. The food itself did not live up to the price. The "tempura" artichoke hearts were basically just heavily breaded and fried, not light or crispy like you would expect or like the menu suggests. The charcuterie board, which was over $50, was kind of shocking. It looked like a random mix of deli meats, basic cheeses, canned fruit, and filler. Nothing felt special or worth the price. It looks amazing, but do not be fooled by what you see around you. You are better off spending $25 at Trader Joe's. The ribeye was wildly underwhelming. If I wanted a steak I could buy at Food 4 Less and grill in the park, I would do it myself. The chicken somehow managed to be even worse, dry and lacking flavor. Lemon and capers, where? Overall, it felt overpriced and poorly executed. Between the cleanliness issues, the long wait, and the disappointing food, it is easy to say it is definitely not worth your time. Check out the Gambling Cowboy instead. This is a no brainer when you read the replies from the owner to any negative feedback. If an establishment feels the need to defend itself in such an unprofessional manner, that tells you everything you need to know about taking your money elsewhere. No ownership, just blame. Nobody is out here writing reviews to ruin your business, you are doing that well enough on your own. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." read more

If you're looking for some great views of old town Temecula this is the place. Located on the 4th floor and overlooking the strip is this open concept restaurant/ bar. There's lots of seating and a huge bar with views from a large part of the restaurant. It does get busy so be patient but the staff has always been very friendly. I've yet to dine here because I usually come in for a cocktail however we did order some edamame this time. This is definitely a spot I will keep coming back to and recommending to others. read more

Went to Luke's for the first time for our anniversary. Tyler was so friendly and gave us really good suggestions. The food came out super quick, with generous portions, and it was amazing. The outside view and atmosphere were super nice. Would definitely come back here again! read more

The best date night spot! Gorgeous rooftop views over old town, perfect for brunch or late night cocktails. Service is always amazing, best bartenders in Old Town! All of their mac n cheeses are a MUST TRY. May be a little bias because this was our first date spot with my partner but 3 years later, Luke's is still our first choice when choosing where to go out. read more

We've ate here probably four times since they've opened. Each time it keeps getting better! The view is priceless and perfect for a sunset! On our latest visit i had the grilled chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes. It came with baby carrots and broccoli. Loved it. My wife the carnivore had the fillet which was also on a bed of mash. Carrots and broccoli as well. Said it was delish! Great service, view and atmosphere here. read more

Went on a Saturday night with my wife to have some dinner with a view. We were greeted by the owner at the host stand and led to the balcony by the server. Dylan was awesome! Attentive, fast, friendly and thorough! The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've had in California. It's difficult to find good ceviche if you're not that close to the border, so my complements to the chef. The chicken was also delicious! Would definitely recommend for date night. read more

Service, ambiance both great . Good crowd of people. Had a couple shots and good conversation. Everybody was very friendly.

Stopped in for an early Lunch with my Girlfriend while my car was being worked on nearby. Our View was Great looking out over Old Town and the streets below. Clean Air up there & no exhaust. A Beautiful Day with no clouds and a Blue Sky. Ambiance was really nice with a light breeze. We split the Bruschetta and the Calamari with lots of tentacles and two tasty sauces. Food was Delicious! She had a Lemon Drop Martini with Raspberry I had a Bloody Mary Brittany was our Friendly Server and Bartender too. We enjoyed ourselves up there with that Nice View! read more

Luke's On Front staff were so kind to get our group of 8 in for dinner on a busy Saturday night. Our server was so sweet and made the bride-to-be in our group feel so celebrated with the dessert at the end of our meal with a sparkler. The food was ok! My turkey burger was good, the fries were disappointing, and the bruschetta was alright. Ambiance is loud but great for a night where you're looking to hang out and have a couple drinks or watch a game. read more

We came here a couple of times on our weekend visit. That says a lot to frequent a place twice in one weekend. On Friday night, we just stopped in for drinks. The vibe was great and the staff was friendly. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor, so it's got a nice view. Look for the white and blue light on the sidewalk and then look up. That's Luke's! There are TVs surrounding the indoor bar area so it was great to watch some Friday night football. The other side of the bar is outdoors. There are high top tables and bar seating. There are heaters too to stay warm. There is also a separate dining area if you want a quieter vibe. The drink menu had lots of options. I ended up going with a hard seltzer. My husband got a more fun tequila drink. We met the owner and chatted with the bartender. Both were really nice. We liked it so much, we came back with friends the next night. We were seated at a table in the same bar area. That was our preference since we were a group celebrating a birthday. We got the hummus platter, wings, and the chef's VIP plate. I liked the freshness of the hummus plate. The dips were fun and the veggies were refreshing. The VIP plate was perfect for our table. It had meats, cheeses, spreads, crackers, etc. For main dishes, there were a couple of ribeyes, a filet steak, rack of lamb, and more wings. I got the rack of lamb. It was cooked well and I liked the accompaniments. Everyone else seemed to like their dishes. For dessert we got the chocolate cake and cheesecake. It was great to share the desserts. The staff was amazing, again! They really made our two visits enjoyable and fun. I highly recommend Luke's for a fun vibe and great view. read more

Luke's on Front is always a good vibe with friendly staff. We've been for lunch before, but tonight really impressed us. On a last-minute Friday night, they accommodated our party of 12 and seated us right away. Shout-out to Daniel for rearranging tables and Jamie, our waitress, who was amazing--attentive, efficient, and even split the tabs with no issues. The bone-in ribeye was tender with a great portion, and the chocolate cake was the perfect finish. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back--extra thanks to Jamie for taking such great care of our group. read more

Hello we came here on Wednesday night . Filet mignon was good Rib eye needed more sauce. Fish came out cold. Chicken wrap was tasty , just a bit spicy . Service was a solid 2 . Menu didn't show all drinks for wine . Server talked down to us. The staff seemed in a hurry to close. They started putting up the chairs on the bar as we were still eating. We left at 9:20 The ambiance is nice . The place is decorated for Christmas. I'll have to think about giving them another chance . read more

The food was super good, service especially Tyler was great and attentive while also giving time to enjoy without distractions!

Choosing this place was the only mistake I made for our New Year's celebration. We came New Year's Eve at about 8 pm. The ambiance was underwhelming. The decorations were unimaginative and the whole vibe was just cheesy and cheap looking. It was raining and we did not get a view. The patio area was closed. Maybe that would have made a difference in the ambiance but not the rest of the evening. Honestly, this is a bar masquerading as a restaurant. I was fooled by looking at the website and the way it looks there made it seem like it was a really nice upscale place to go and so much more than what it actually is. Kudos to whoever made it do what it did. The food was passable at best, and it was hardly worth the price of $41.00 each for this. If you look at the two plates, they're totally different from each other. From a kitchen quality standpoint This is not acceptable. The plates should look the same when they come off the line. On one plate the salmon was properly proportioned: more of a rectangle. The other one was square cut and wide but not thick. We had three Broccoli florets each. Three (3). And three carrots. She had what looked like baby carrots and I had "regular" carrots. Notice how on my plate the veggies are dumped on one side (like as it was coming out the kitchen the cook remembered they were missing and dropped them on the plate as it passed him/her). On hers they are placed on opposite sides (as it should be). Plates were not wiped down on the sides, so presentation was just messy. The ONLY saving grace here was our waitress was phenomenal. Great personality, very genuine and personable. Her name was Melissa (hi Melissa! Thanks again). Hats off to her. And whomever made our drinks did a great job too. Saved the evening. Sorry, we didn't get her name. So, this would be a hard pass the next time we are down this way. read more
