    My bf and I were back there in February and we loved this restaurant! We did the wine tasting across at their tasting room and then walked over at our reservation time and were seated promptly! I love the ambiance and decor of this place! It has both indoor and outdoor and the outdoor seatings are open air into the indoor area. Very breezy and lovely! It has the feel of a fancy cottage . Food was delicious and drinks were yummy! We loved every single dish we ordered: octopus, steak, scallops, and the mushrooms!!! So so good! Highly recommend!

    From the moment we arrived at Leoness Cellars, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the rolling hills of Temecula wine country, this spot effortlessly blends rustic charm with refined elegance. The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere invites you to slow down and savor every moment--especially the food. We've dined here more than once, and each visit has been consistently memorable. Most recently, we were blown away by every dish we ordered. The natural hand-cut fries were the perfect start--crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and seasoned beautifully. They paired wonderfully with the chipotle lime ketchup, garlic aioli & cajun aioli and set the tone for what turned into a spectacular meal. For entrées, we tried the New York steak and the wild boar. The steak was grilled to absolute perfection--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You could tell it was high-quality meat, cooked with care. The wild boar was a standout: rich, bold, and unlike anything you'll find elsewhere in Temecula. It was beautifully plated and accompanied by seasonal vegetables that enhanced the earthy flavors of the dish. Dessert was pure indulgence. The crème brûlée had that flawless caramelized top with a silky, vanilla-laced custard underneath. We finished our evening with French press coffee, which was strong, smooth, and a lovely, refined touch to cap off the meal. Beyond the food, the service deserves a shout-out--friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. Our server offered excellent wine pairing suggestions and genuinely seemed to care that we were enjoying ourselves. Leoness Cellars isn't just a winery with a restaurant--it's a destination in its own right. Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking to treat yourself to a phenomenal meal in a stunning setting, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend--this is one of Temecula's finest.

    Hello and welcome to my experience at the Restaurant at Leonard's Cellars. For starters Julia was a fantastic server. The restaurant had a classy/elegant summer feel to it. We opted to eat on the outside to get the natural breeze. Fortunate for us we were directly across from the fountain where we took some personal photos after our meal. As you can see below we tried several options which not only had a good presentation but was very tasty and cooked to perfection. We did a wine tasting just prior having lunch to prepare us for the bottles we chose to pair with our meal. I ate the sea bass which was delicious. The potato puree and chopped Brussel sprouts balanced well with the dish adding depth and richness of flavor. I sampled the other dishes and easily I would have been satisfied with any of them. The shrimp was plump, juicy, fresh, and tender. The lamb chop was cooked to a beautiful medium and seasoned with the right amount of salt. The boar and carrot combo was a hit. The quail went too fast for me to get bite. The truffle fries were hot, crispy, and have an intense blast of the truffle flavor. The house made condiments worked with the fries but certainly not needed. Overall this was an amazing experience shared with family. I do highly recommend you give them a try if you are in the Temecula wine region. There are plenty of places to take great photos and even a space dedicated to ceremonies overseeing the vineyard. 4.8 of 5.0

    This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere, the customer service, the AMAZING chefs! I mean I can go on and on. I took my wife for our 10 year anniversary and wow they did not disappoint! Nicole was our waitress and she is just the best! So kind, professional and she recommended the wine, the truffle fries, the shrimp scampi linguine and the seared chicken and wow!!! All 4 recommendations were AMAZING!!! The food was INCREDIBLE and Nicole was the highlight of our night! We are taking my Mother for her birthday coming up! This place is hands down 5 STARS!!!!

Noodle consistency is great with their Blaze or Classic ramen options, as the broth tends to be a little thicker and creamier than the Shoyu option. Their appetizer selection is also pretty diner friendly and sure to include a little something for everyone. If you're not in the mood for noodles, they also offer regular or large rice bowls, which come with amazing flavor profiles all on their own. At a glance, the 'regular' size option might seem like an insignificant portion, but rest assured it comes ready to satisfy the types of diners who'd prefer to taste a little of everything. My only critique would be on the sushi selection. It didn't taste so fresh, but then again this place is obviously not named Silverlake Sushi, so I'll rest my case on that note. I stand firmly behind ramen being the craft that Silverlake takes time to perfect, both in the intricate taste and in visual detail. Highly recommend if you're craving noodles and don't want to drive out of town to get them!

(cheap lunch specials at both locations) Food (5/5) - took some coworkers here for a work lunch and even just the lowest tier menu was great in price and taste. Great sides like corn cheese and fried chicken, and great quality meats like the beef belly and flavorful bulgogi had us eating until we gained a few extra pounds. need to come back for the premium menus. service (5/5) - i guess they usually have a tablet system to order, but it wasn't working today so they had servers taking orders. Didn't make a difference as our server was great and on top of new orders for us. ambiance (5/5) well ventilated, spacious and comfortable seating, music not too loud, plenty of parking in a big plaza, and a super sleek and modern interior design made for a very enjoyable dining experience here.

    The brisket, beef steak, and beef chop steak were phenomenal and definitely the stars of the meal…read more Those cuts were really well done. The pickled radish was amazing, but the thin radish wrap didn't have that tangy pickled taste at all, which was a little disappointing. The kimchi was average -- I've had much more delicious versions elsewhere. The iced green tea also tasted very watered down -- the color in my cup was practically clear with only the slightest tint of green if you looked carefully, which says a lot. Overall, a pretty average experience with some standout meats and great banchan variety, but the service and a few details could definitely be improved.

    Hands down, this is the best restaurant in town!…read more Since moving here, we've really missed San Diego's food scene--but last weekend, my wife and I visited 1909 for the first time, and we found that 1909 rivals many of our favorite places in San Diego. We started with a "Dirty" Vodka Martini for me and a Mac's Mule for her. Then, we ordered the Caesar Brussel Sprouts, the 1909 Burger, the Cilantro Lime Fish Tacos, and a couple more cocktails along the way. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was the service. The entire staff treated us like we were longtime regulars--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and reminded us of some of our favorite places back in San Diego. If you're looking for great food, excellent drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile, this is the place. We'll definitely be going back!

Seriously was amazing - spicy, flavorful, everything you want Eggs your way - standard 2 poached eggs, toast bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were super undercooked but the poached egg was perfect. Bacon was also a lil undercooked. Cranberry white cheddar salad was banging I must say. I added shrimp and it was suuuuper good.

My Daughter suggested Chef K due to their 4+ star rating, even though she had never eaten there before. Hidden in an outdoor mall it just looks like a glass front suite, but enter the doors and the interior is beautiful and clean with comfy upholstered booths and chairs. The young server greeted us with a strong Asian accent and took us to our seats immediately. We were the only customers in the room which made me a little nervous, but is was 2pm on a Thursday after all. We were presented with a hardbound colorful book of their offerings... pretty cool. We ordered and were quickly presented with: Spicy Pepper Beef: A medium spice level with a savory dark soy sauce, bathing ultra tender beef slices, married with thin sliced jalapeño and diced red and green bell peppers. Unbelievably delicious. Walnut Honey Shrimp: Mega large butterflied prawns quickly fried with walnuts and sweet glaze, crispy and crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Tangerine Chicken: Large delicate and tender chicken breast pieces deep fried in a fluffy batter and glazed with a perfectly sweet and tart tangerine sauce. Our meal came with individual bowls of perfectly cooked jasmine rice. Enough food to feed 3 hungry adults and still have leftovers. $63 Why 5 stars? Without a doubt, the best, cleanest tasting Chinese dishes I have ever experienced. More to come from this place I'm sure. If you are anywhere near Temecula, get off the freeway and reward yourself.
