    Another great night here. Service and attentiveness is always above par here and ambiance transports you away from the casino. This time we had the 40oz snake river farm porterhouse which was cooked perfectly with a nice char on the outside and juicy inside . Asparagus was also perfect with crunchy texture and buttery taste. Only disappointment was the pork chops which was rather dry despite being boned in and the sauce was a lil too sweet. Stick to the steaks and you'll always have a great time here

    First time here. Lindsey was our server & Jonathen was her assistant. Ambiance was beautiful and decor was elegant. Food was okay. Did not like the halibut. The sauce has a taste of ginger, too much ginger. It was overpowering. The bread selection was a little weird. I'm a simple girl and preferred either sourdough or molasses bread w/a good grade of real butter. I don't think that the food quality matches the price. I've been all over the world and had better food for cheaper. The bonbons were meh. Nothing spectacular. Service was awesome! I was expecting to be wowed, but got just okay. Last night both my husband and I got sick. I'm still sick from the food poisoning. My son with the sensitive stomach issues did not get sick. Thank God!

    8oz Filet, smooth potatoes and grilled asparagus.

    I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars. Our meal was perfection. I had the 8oz Filet and it was one of the best I have ever eaten, and I've had a lot as it's my favorite cut. All the sides were delicious. The service was also excellent. It's a loud restaurant, pretty typical but it is nicely designed. Be prepared to spend a fair amount but it is worth it.

    You can see the slot lights in the back haha

    I came here for my bday and it was such a great decision, although very pricey but you can't take it all with ya right! My man spoiled me beyond measure, we got the Tomahawk, bone in family style, it only came with asparagus and mash for... $198. I really wanted the steak and I love a good bone in steak. For this price, they could do better with the sides, I mean, asparagus and potatoes aren't that much and especially in bulk. In my opinion m, these sides do not match the overall esthetic of the restaurant. The sides should be way better! Although they were good we wouldn't spend the money again. We also got bread, it wasn't good, it was just too much of a different variety and they should give free bread and make you pay for that kind of bread basket. The wedge salad was amazing!!! I could have just ate that, no joke, it's so good. The Mac n cheese was definitely a great choice! It was so bomb! Get the mac n cheese I also loved my waitress and should have gotten her name! This place is great for their employees bc they're not overworked, well it seemed as if they were not and many people helped out with our table collectively! Five stars for that! That also creates a happier environment for employees. Overall I would come back here, especially bc it's located inside of Pechanga, the food is great, and the customer service is top tier. I just wouldn't get that tomahawk and wouldn't get so much but could have the Mac n cheese with a salad for dinner or just a steak. 10 out of 10! Oh and the waitress said you really don't need sides for the steak, they have lots of side/sauce options but they served the steak with a house made A1 and it's so damn goooood haha

    Bread basket. 3 different types of bread in the basket. The flavors were distinct and scrumptious.

    Tonight we splurged and dined at Pechanga's Steal House. What an amazing experience. Allergies? NO Problem! Everything except the sauces are cooked to order. We had a waiter and junior waiter. Both Andrew and Aiden were fantastic. I loved the ambiance as well. They had a fire place going, a pianist playing live and the decorations and lighting were absolutely perfect. If you have a player's card, you can show it at the end of your meal and ask them to place points on your card. It will automatically give you free play on your card.

    Came here for my anniversary dinner. The restaurant definitely had an upscale vibe to it. The ambiance and service was A1. Drinks were on point too. They're known for their Old Fashioned; which is one of my favorite drinks. As far as the food-it was definitely high on my list of steakhouses. They really season their meet to the bone. I didn't too much care for the Mac and cheese. It had Gorgonzola in it, which drastically ruins the taste.

    If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, The Great Oak Steakhouse at Pechanga is truly unforgettable. Recommended by some of my previous colleagues, I now completely understand why this place has such an incredible reputation. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone -- elegant décor, perfectly curated music, and a warm, upscale atmosphere that makes the evening feel special from start to finish. The service is impeccable: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Now, the food -- absolutely phenomenal. We had the highest quality Wagyu, aged for 30 days in snow (yes, actual snow!). The flavor profile is extraordinary, and the steak is so tender it melts like butter in your mouth. Every bite is an explosion of richness and perfection. The Alaskan King Crab legs were equally fantastic -- fresh, succulent, and prepared flawlessly. From the appetizers to the handcrafted cocktails and decadent desserts, every course exceeded expectations. This is a MUST if you are visiting Temecula or heading to Pechanga Casino. Even if it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it's absolutely worth it. An unforgettable evening of world-class dining.

    My hubby loves to take me here for my Birthday and Anniversary. I love ordering the Tomahawk Steak and side dishes... TOMAHAWK: 9/10 Love the steak. It usually comes slightly undercooked so we like to order it Medium Plus or Medium Well. You'll usually see a red center but, that's probably how they roll around here... DIVER SCALLOPS: 10/10 My star of the show! The sauce is highly addictive and the scallops are cooked perfectly. The portions are also generous so it's big enough to share for 2-4 people... BREAD BASKET: 7/10 The old one tasted better because it had the little cheese bread. Please bring those back! They are the reason we always order the bread basket!!!! SERVICE: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excellent 5 star service. Everyone is always moving and working hard. I have no complaints. We will be back!!! Rock On GREAT OAK STEAKHOUSE!!

    We decided to do something different for Thanksgiving this year and celebrate at Pechanga. During our visit, we tried a few restaurants with the plan of this one being the main restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner and we were not pleased with the experience at all. When we first arrived, the restaurant was gorgeous with a bar area to the right and the main dining area to the left. There was a big fire place that set the mood and wine bottles displayed on the walls nicely decorated from the ceiling to the ground in certain sections of the room. Right away I thought the food was going to be fire and we chose the perfect place! The boys were dressed nice and my wife took forever to get ready but showed up in her beautiful outfit. Anyway, we ordered the food and the kids ordered Mac n cheese and my mom and I ordered the prefixed Thanksgiving traditional turkey dinner, which consisted of corn bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, giblet gravy, and cranberry sauce. My wife ordered the prime 10 oz filet with Brussels sprouts. Now this is where we had a few issues. #1 the kids didn't like the Mac n cheese and the menu was limited so they didn't want anything else. The server assistant who brought out the food saw the kids didn't like their food and asked if they wanted sliders and fries. We told her that would be amazing. Our waitress came out and took their plates knowing they didn't eat it and asked if they wanted something else. We told her the server assistant put in an order for sliders and fries and the waitress said she didn't even know they offered that. The sliders came and they were completely dry but the fries were good. The kids just ate the fries. #2 my meal was ok but the cranberry sauce they put on the plate had an old thicker consistency than the fresh cranberry sauce they brought in a cup for the table. I was a little weirded out by that and the cornbread stuffing wasn't good. The turkey was delicious. #3 two things here! They asked if we wanted bread for the table but didn't mention it would be $9 dollars (I'm ok with that) but my wife asked for some steak sauce for her steak and they brought her two sauces. They charged $4 for the peppercorn sauce and $6 for the G.O. Sauce! We definitely aren't cheap but at least let a brotha know lol. We could have packed the sauces up and took them to the room for later. The steak was good though, I'm not going to lie. #4 lastly, we ordered a pecan pumpkin pie and we got a nice decorated piece of chocolate candy in the shape of a pumpkin with cream in the inside sitting on top of a small piece of bread. We were told this was the pecan pumpkin pie. There was no pie and no pecans but I think the filling was suppose to be the pumpkin. We all took a small bite and didn't want anymore. Overall, this was not the place to come for Thanksgiving but I'm pretty sure their regular menu is pretty good. Just be prepared for the little charges and know that nothing is free in there except the water (I think). We definitely won't be going back there and I wouldn't recommend, sorry.

    Had dinner here for my father in law's 80th birthday, it was very good! This is a pretty restaurant with comfy seating, a big bar, and nice bathrooms. All the people who attended to our table were nice and helpful. About half of the steaks on the menu are MP. My husband inquired about the smallest cut on the "Snow Aged" Wagyu MP portion of the menu and it was $260 for 6 oz! He passed on that. To start we ordered a bread basket for the table, I had a truffle roll and it was nice. Husband had Indian fry bread and we both liked it. Husband also ordered two of their Kentucky In Fashioned drinks, the 2nd one they smoked for him, brought out a massive cloche filled with so much smoke! It smelled like a campfire, he really liked the smoked version. I am not sure what the corkage fee was, but somebody in our party brought 2 bottles of wine that they opened for us. I also ordered one glass of Cab from their menu and it was great. For dinner we split the Lobster Bisque to start, it was really good. A velvety, rich, broth, large chunks of lobster, super tasty. I could eat a huge bowl of that! We each had Ribeyes, medium rare. His was the 20 oz bone in Prime, and mine was the 14 oz bone in 21 Day Aged Prime. Honestly our steaks were the same size, and his was more tender than mine, although they both tasted amazing. I had truffle butter added to mine and I loved it. Sides shared with the table were mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. I really liked all of them, but there sides were TINY compared to other steakhouses I have been to. At the end they only boxed up the leftover steaks and took away the leftover sides, didn't ask if anybody wanted them. They brought out a white chocolate covered cheesecake with a raspberry sauce for my FIL, he liked it. I didn't care for the white chocolate, but that's just not a flavor I like. I didn't see the bill, but it's typical steakhouse pricing, so it was at least $150 a person. I liked this place, but wouldn't go out of my way to drive here again for dinner. If I happened to be in Temecula, it would be an option I am open to. It's very quiet in there, you would have no idea the casino is right outside the doors.

    Plated by yours truly.

    We purchased tickets to see the MJ Live show at Pechanga and made reservations for dinner at Great Oak Steakhouse well in advance since they do book up quickly. The show started at 8pm, so I made sure to give us ample time by making our reservation for 6pm. This allowed us to take anything we needed to the car prior to the show. If you have been to this casino before, you know its big and theres lots of walking between the casino its self and to get to and from the parking garage. My mother is 78, so I really didnt want to rush in any way. I would also like to add that in my reservation comments, I said we were attending the show and that we are trying to give my mom a great experience by taking her to this dinner first. We arrived 10minutes early and were sat very quickly. I was dumbstruck when I saw where they sat us. We were in the furthest room, away from the main dining area, which WOULD have been the nicer area had they sat us there. Our table was in a corner where a connecting door was located. This door is what the servers used to get room to room, and i'll tell you this right now, it was annoying. This is a fine dining steak house, and I felt like I was at outback steakhouse. We were greeted by the server's helper who poured us water. We eventually were greeted by our server who welcomed us and acknowledged that she saw we were attending the show that evening reassuring that everything will go nice and smooth. We ordered our drinks, old fashioned & bottle of rose. She brought the old fashioned and let us know she was waiting for the manager to bring down the wine. This took some time. We quickly ordered our food, my mom got the Chilean seabass and we got the porterhouse for 2 that comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It took FOREVER for our food to arrive. We felt forgotten. I saw others get items...and what confirmed this long wait were the multiple times our server came and said "your food should be out let me check on it again". This was SUCH a bad look. I was embarrassed at that point for choosing this restaurant to take my mom to. When food FINALLY arrived it was 7:15pm. Thats right. We sat there for an hour and 15min. My boyfriend said many times, let's get up and leave. I knew everywhere was booked...so I kept everyone there like an idiot. The food? Ours was great. We loved it. My moms fish? Tasted SO fishy. I couldn't understand how it was cooked so well but also tasted fishy. I felt so bad for her, and she doesnt like medium rare steak, so we couldn't even share ours. After that, we quickly asked for the check. $400 for a disappointment of dinner. By the time we left our table it was 7:45pm. I sat my mom at a machine and speedwalked from the casino to the parking structure to level 2..put everything in my car and sped back. We arrived at the theater for the show after 8pm. My heart was racing... I was exhausted...and very upset that this restaurant caused this. Would I ever dine here again? I truly do not know. Oir steak was good...but if that is how they treat their guests when knowing from prior knowledge, that it was a special night for a person in their party...I dont think I can throw money in their direction again. I guess...visit this place for steak BUT do not count on service.

    Always my to go dining place when there is an event going on at Pechanga casino. The waiters are always friendly and very attentive. Food is always delicious and at its best. Our favorites are the lamb chops, fresh green garden salads, sea bass and their premium steaks. Their seafood is superb but be careful and make sure you as for the market price before ordering because it can be a little steep. If you are celebrating a birthday, mention it because they have an awesome dessert that you can't order on the menu. It is only for birthday peeps.

    Wow! This place was outstanding! Housed in the Pechanga Casino. This place is a rather large restaurant with plenty of seating. Modern decor with a great cocktail and wine list. SERVICE: Everyone here was great. We had a good size party, but they got us seated quickly and our server was very friendly and attentive. FOOD: As you can tell from the pictures, we ordered a few things. Everything was great, but some of our favorites were the pork belly, the scallops, and the New York Strip. Also the desserts were Fab!! They have a good selection of cocktails and wine. My old (in) fashioned was superb. You don't have to like casinos to eat here and the place has done a nice job of keeping it smoke free. I am definitely coming back.

    Some restaurants serve dinner. Cork Fire Kitchen serves an experience that has the audacity to make…read moreyou consider whether your own kitchen is even trying. On Saturday we wandered into TCI for dinner and started with the heirloom tomato and burrata with crostini. It was so fresh and delicious that I briefly considered writing the tomatoes a thank-you note. Next came the Harvest Valley Salad, which somehow managed to make me genuinely excited about lettuce--an achievement that deserves recognition from the culinary Olympics. For our entrée we ordered the Wagyu Steak Frites with chimichurri. The steak was cooked so perfectly it should probably be framed instead of sliced. Every bite was fantastic. We finished with the ube panna cotta, which was elegant, silky, and the kind of dessert that makes you promise you'll "just have one bite" before accidentally eating half of it. Nathan took wonderful care of us all evening. He was warm, friendly, attentive, and struck that perfect balance between making us feel welcome and giving us time to enjoy the gorgeous patio. Watching the sunset with live music in the background and that spectacular view? It was one of those evenings that quietly reminds you why people go out to eat in the first place. Apparently we enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back the very just two days for lunch. (Scientific research requires repeat testing.) We started with the hummus, which arrived looking like it belonged in an art gallery. Fortunately, it tasted every bit as good as it looked. Then came the chile relleno, which was absolutely outstanding. If this dish ever goes missing, I'd recommend checking my refrigerator first. Faith was wonderfully friendly and outgoing, and our food expeditor, David, was so genuinely warm and personable that by the time he left the table, it felt like we'd known him for years. Restaurants can teach hospitality, but that kind of kindness is simply who some people are. My only tiny suggestion: please turn on the patio misters during these triple-digit California afternoons. The food was keeping us warm emotionally; the weather was handling the rest. And on the way out we let Christine know the carpets at the entrances needed a vacuum. Fantastic food, exceptional service, beautiful views, and an atmosphere that keeps drawing us back. Cork Fire Kitchen has once again reminded us why it's one of our favorite places to dine. Bravo to the entire team!

    My family and I visited for dinner last night, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read morefrom the moment we walked in. When we were seated, we asked for a high chair three separate times before one was finally brought to our table. The high chair turned out to be too small for our son, so we asked if we could use a booster seat on the end chair instead. The server seemed hesitant, mentioning she wasn't sure she'd be able to get by the chair. We said that was fine and instead placed the booster seat between my wife and me. After struggling to get our son comfortable, we eventually realized the booster seat has two different height settings depending on which side is facing down. It would have been helpful if that had been pointed out when it was brought to the table. Throughout the meal, our server seemed distracted and wasn't around very often. Our food was brought out by other staff members, which isn't necessarily a problem by itself, but combined with the lack of check-ins it made the service feel disconnected. The biggest disappointment came when I took my son outside while we waited. The benches, chairs, and handrails in the waiting area were covered in bird droppings. There were spider webs in multiple places, and the entrance to the restaurant itself looked dirty. I understand the restaurant is going for an old harbor or fishing-boat atmosphere, but there's a big difference between rustic and neglected. Instead of feeling charming or nautical, it felt like years of dirt and grime had simply been left in place. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but basic cleanliness and attentive service are things I expect from any restaurant, especially when dining with a young child. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback because the restaurant has potential, but our experience left us with little desire to return.

    10/10 highly recommend My husband and I came in last week…read moreand had the best experience. But that's not even the best part - we are gluten free (celiac) and our waitress, Yesi, was absolutely PHENOMENAL. No matter how many questions we have asked or things we needed to clarify she has been so professional and FRIENDLY! Huge shout out to her. We even decided that we had such a great time we needed to bring our kids back today. I did not think the food or experience could get any better. It did. My husband had an amazing Gf burger (so messy and delicious- due to his add ons cooked by Aaron). I had Amazing GF salmon (moist and delicious) Our kids had amazing food as well. They asked if we can make this our "go-to" family spot. The ambiance was honestly second to none. We had a great view of the duck pond and I truly have never felt so peaceful eating anywhere else.

The food was great, drinks were great, but what made it so memorable was the awesome service. Jaycelyn was in charge of our table, and she did such a great job with making us feel comfortable. Whoever hired her deserves a raise, and so does she! I will absolutely be coming back next time I'm in town.

    My family and I visited Black Angus Steakhouse on the Fourth of July to try the $17.76 holiday…read morespecial, and we left full and happy! I ordered the special, which included a 6 oz steak, BBQ ribs, shrimp, and mashed potatoes. (I don't eat shrimp, so my son was more than happy to take those off my hands! ) We also ordered a steak dinner and the chicken and ribs combination meal, so we had a chance to try several different items from the menu. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, the ribs were flavorful, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the portions were generous. For the price, we were genuinely impressed with both the quality and the amount of food we received. Our server, Claire, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service always makes the experience even better, and she definitely did that. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy dinner with family. Before we left, we couldn't resist taking a slice of the original cheesecake home...and let's just say it didn't last very long! We'll definitely be back, and if they offer this Fourth of July special again next year, we'll be first in line.

    Background: Saturday night, 7:30pm…read more.. 1. We were told by the hostesses there would be a "20-30 minute wait for a table." 2. We asked to sit at the bar. They said fine. 3. We saw several two top tables that were totally open in the bar area. We were told we could not sit there, only at the bar. These tables remained empty the entire time we were there. 4. We sat at the bar. 5. We saw a family seated at a 6 top approx. 10 feet from us. 6. One child was screaming almost the entire time. 7. The other child was eating his food "off the floor" while screaming. Parents were oblivious. 8. The two-year-old got away from the parents and hit his head on an empty table. My wife said "That baby got hurt." The non-attentive Mother replied "They're not yours." 9. The manager came over and said "Is everything ok?" We said "no, screaming kids, eating off the floor in the bar where we were watching the Dodgers play. His reply "We are a family-friendly restaurant." 10. The manager came back again and we showed him the large pile of steak with fat that we could not eat. We had cut all this off our steaks. Then we said "We think this night started with the screaming kids." My wife said "Why do you let small children in the bar area?" The manager replied with "This is a Family friendly restaurant." 11. Black Angus has always been a go to for our family. The Black Angus franchise isn't what it used to be. Our Mother was always so proud to go to the bar for a cocktail then be taken in for a great dinner. 12. The bar staff were fantastic and attentive. We can't say the same for the manager. Good luck.
