The restraunt at Ponte is fantastic, the food is great (sea pasta is amazing) l. Ramon was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the menu plus his recommendations and friendly attitude made it easy for us to order. We appreciate the great service. read more

I've had this restaurant bookmarked for a while now but not living in the area makes it hard to visit. But we finally went back to Temecula and had the chance to go to Ponte for a birthday dinner. They have a pretty outdoor patio which looks into the vineyards. Unfortunately the night we went it was raining so the patio was covered. Service was great, staff was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress was kind enough to walk me through the different wines they offer. I ordered the ciopinno which had shrimp, scallops, clams and fish inside. Overall it was good but the curry overpowered the flavor. The truffle pizza was good but not enough truffle flavor. I think the bolognese was the best dish out of everything. It was hearty and hit the spot. read more

Considering the prices, I felt the food did not stand up in terms of quality or taste. This location succeeds if friendly staff and generally nice ambience. read more

The service here is phenomenal from the moment you arrive until you leave. The staff really makes you feel taken care of the entire time. The food was great, and the drinks were just as good. My wife especially loved this place for the food--we're not huge wine tasting people, but we still enjoyed having a nice glass of wine with our meal. I honestly forgot the names of the dishes we ordered, but I did leave some pictures. The views are beautiful too, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

From the outdoor seating to the customer service, this place was beyond amazing. We came to celebrate my Nana's 91st birthday, and our server was beyond excellent when it came to helping us celebrate. The views, stunning. The food, mouthwatering.. beautifully presented, and absolutely wonderful. Every dish was perfect. Highly recommend reservations as this place books up fast. But it is so very worth the time, and the money. read more

As wine club members, we always plan to have lunch here when we pick up our wine. We have never been disappointed! The menu changes seasonally, and the food is always delicious! If you have a purse, they bring a basket for you to put it in by your table so it doesn't sit on the ground. Club members also get an amuse bouche to start the meal. The staff is friendly and attentive, and he manager stopped by every table to be sure that we were happy. I won't feature any item, because we've never had anything that wasn't delicious. I do have to mention the bread and scallion oil that appears first, however, it's definitely a favorite! Come to taste the wine, but be sure to have a meal here! read more

Hi there peeps!!! Ok so... this time I visit the restaurant at Pointe. So far the service has been 10/10. I order to start Lake Harvest wine and fried calamari. The fried calamari was perfect. Fried to perfection. Crispy and tender at the same time. A difficult task hard to mastered when you are frying seafood. Teresa my server was fenomenal!! Omg!! She is the best!! She knows when to approach you and ask the right questions. I will say she is 100/10. I have dined at other places and she is amazing. Recommendation: ask for the house aoli with siracha and salt and pepper on the side. Is worth it. I know they can't cater to specific community, but this is your savior if you like spicy and well seasoned aoli. The entree was pan seared sea bass. It was perfectly done and well seasoned. Slightly crust outside, flaky and moist inside. The fish was laying on bed of pan seared carrots, creamy risotto with puree peas. The puree peas were light in texture and flavorful. It contrasted with the risotto and fish. The dessert was matcha cheesecake with coffee. The matcha cheesecake originally comes with some coconut flakes , but they made a substitution since I can't have it. This was a recommendation from my server. Overall food was excellent and service was outstanding. read more

Took some friends visiting the Temecula wine country to lunch at Ponte winery. Besides the Beautiful garden areas, they have an excellent restaurant with quality food at reasonable prices. In the pictures below, I included the autumn day menu for the content of each dish as well as the four entrées we ordered. Everyone graded them as an A for presentation, taste, value. I had the burger with sweet potato fries, and it was an A+. The service was excellent and responsive. The patio dining allowed us to enjoy a perfect day in the Temecula wine District. This property has plenty of parking as well as a hotel to stay at. Worth the drive. Enjoy. read more

Pretty venue. First time back in years. My friend and I both got the lamb. I wish the lamb was more herb-crusted and the blackberry and beverino reduction was a little richer in flavor, but overall, it was a good dish. The desserts were absolutely delicious (pot de creme and creme brulee). Service with Teresa D. was five stars! read more

This restaurant consistently delivers a great experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service is always exceptional. The food is amazing, I usually order the seafood pasta, which is a favorite of mine, and the pizza never disappoints either. I also really enjoy the fresh bread and sauce served at the beginning of the meal. It's a place I always look forward to visiting with my family. read more

My husband and I love coming to the Ponte restaurant in the fall to celebrate our anniversary. The weather in November is perfect for outdoor patio dining and being surrounded by the beautiful scenic views. I love the menu options at this restaurant. Personally, the Ponte restaurant has been my favorite of all in the Temecula wine country. The service and food are exceptional which keeps us coming back here to celebrate special occasions. read more

We live locally in Temecula and decided to celebrate my husband's Birthday at Ponte for dinner, and everything was exceptional. The restaurant was wonderful and everyone in our group loved their food--there were so many amazing options on the menu. Our server, Jessica, was phenomenal. She took the time to walk us through the menu and made sure to carefully explain everything since one of our friends in our party has food allergies. Her attention to detail and service were outstanding. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back soon read more

It was my first time dining at this restaurant. It was a great experience. This restaurant is located in a beautiful winery. Ambiance and setting of this restaurant makes it more enjoyable. We ordered pizza and salad. Both of them tasted good. I liked my peach Bellini, it was good. It could have been better, I had better ones. Service was really good. Our waiter was very attentive and kept checking on our table. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for dinner for the beautiful ambiance. There is plenty of parking space which is very convenient. read more

Had an amazing lunch at Ponte. The food was amazing but our server Ramon made it a great experience. Definitely will be back again!

The food here was absolutely wonderful! I actually really enjoyed the free bread, the dipping sauce was really unique and tasted really good! I also enjoyed the burrata appetizer, i'm not sure if it was because I was full already, but the pizza and the main skewers were not as good as the appetizers. The service was pretty good, and the outdoor vibes are really nice as well! read more

What a lovely place to have lunch. We came at 11 am so it wasn't super hot yet. We sat at their covered patio. We ordered calamari for appetizer then summer salad with goat cheese, almonds, star fruit, kiwi, tomatoes and micro greens with balsamic dressing, and shrimp and zucchini pizza. The calamari was crunchy, crispy that came with tomato and some skirt of cilantro dressing. Really good. Sumer salad was fresh and just right for sharing. We also shared the shrimp and zucchini pizza, which was surprisingly pretty good as well. First time trying this type of pizza. Customer service was great. Our server was helpful and attentive. The complimentary cheese bread was a hit. It was soft and tasty with pesto and basil. Will definitely return when the season cools off. Super hot in Temecula around this time but they do have water mist to help diners get relief from the heat. read more

As members of multiple wine clubs, this is our go to restaurant and winery in Temecula. Service is always outstanding and the food never disappoints. Salmon cakes appetizer are the best! I tried the salmon con maize on the spring menu and had to take half of it home. Michelin?? Are you listening ? My only feedback for Ponte is to restrict the patio to adults only please. This is no place for children Otherwise beautiful views and we enjoy the music on the patio. See you next month read more

Had a wonderful afternoon lunch at the beautiful grounds. The ambiance and service were top notch. We're club members and have been coming for years and it does not disappoint. Excellent meal followed by a glass in the members' room! Thank you. read more

The environment was very nice, and the hostesses were cordial and welcoming. Unfortunately, the lunch and service fell short of expectations. Once our food was dropped off, our waiter seemed to ignore our table. We needed salt and pepper, an extra side of horseradish, and a few other items, but by the time he returned, our food was already becoming lukewarm--especially disappointing since it wasn't very hot when it was first served. As a group, we also agreed that the dishes were surprisingly bland. The seafood pasta lacked depth of flavor and could have benefited from more garlic. The halibut was extremely lacking in seasoning, the meat in the sandwich was dry, and the horseradish had absolutely no kick whatsoever. Ironically, the best thing we were served was the green condiment that came with the bread. Given the small portion sizes, we expected the dishes to be bold and flavorful, especially considering the inflated prices. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Overall, it was a truly disappointing meal, made even more unfortunate since we were celebrating a birthday and Christmas dinner with family. read more

Had the most wonderful experience at The Restaurant at Ponte and I have to give a huge shoutout to Jessica for making the night truly special. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and from the moment we arrived Jessica welcomed us with the brightest, most genuine smile. Right away she asked if anyone had allergies, which immediately made me feel taken care of. I have a gluten allergy, and she walked me through all of my options without hesitation. That level of attentiveness honestly made my night. The food was incredible, and Jessica also offered great wine pairing suggestions that made the experience even better. Everything from the service to the atmosphere felt thoughtful and elevated. We will absolutely be coming back but only if we can request Jessica as our server! She turned a great dinner into an exceptional experience. read more

We came here as guests of friends who are members of Ponte's Wine Club. All in all, a Four Star Yelp review. Good food. Good wine. Good friends. But, our service was me'h at best. Our server Courtney was outstanding. She raced around to different tables all night. So if management reads this, the problem wasn't with her fault. She was a speed demon. Rather, she was all alone, with six tables and over thirty guests. Mind you, this was on a Friday night, in your Members Tent!! Everyone had reservations and therefore, you knew ahead of time how busy it was going be. Shame on you! The back of the house made up for the front of the house. As I said, we each enjoyed our food and wine selections. See photos. Our group only ordered entrées, since we were going to Shakespeare in the Vines at another nearby winery. We can say without reservation, that everything was delicious. Again, see photos of our Salmon, Bolognese Pasta and Summer Salad with grilled chicken. Expect to pay forty dollars or so each, before Members Discount, plus gratuities. read more

Everything about this restaurant is absolutely worth it. We have never been disappointed even slightly. The calamari appetizer (comes gluten free!) is a fav and their wines are excellent (cannot go wrong with angry wife red or white) All the entrees have been amazing, seasonal menu so they change. Their crème brûlée is delicious to end with. Beautiful ambience and the experience always feels extra special. read more

It's a nice restaurant at a beautiful Winery. We were here to celebrate a family member's birthday. Things started a little slow as they were very busy and short staffed. Things smoothed out after 15 or 20 minutes. Our friendly waiter has been here for many years and this was his last day, as he was leaving to be with his family in Brazil. Menu was still their "Winter" menu as I guess their Spring menu is still in the works. I opted for the Halibut and ordered it blackened. We also shared a Winter salad. It was our waiters last day after many years here. Overall it was very nice. This is a beautiful winery and well worth a visit! read more

I really enjoy Temecula and this is one of our favorite wineries. The food at the restaurant is excellent, we decided to share a pizza and a pasta dish. Both great choices. It's nice that you can order and then go inside to start your wine tasting, and I highly recommend bringing two of your wine samples out to the table to have with your meal. The server was also extremely nice as was everyone at this winery. And all their wines were excellent. read more

I often eat lamb....however, I don't know what this was. It seemed to have been boiled almost. Zero texture or seasoning. I was quite disappointed. The lamb shanks I've had in the past are at least broiled to give a crisp outer layer. It arrived looking like steamed rabbit. I was able to stomach the little salad, most of the butternut squash but could not do the rest. The risotto was somewhat decent but as you can see, i passed on that as well. Would recommend anything but the lamb dish unless you want to be as nauseated as I was. As for the restaurant itself, its outside seating so patio was okay however, there was a slight odor of animal urine...wasn't as noticeable after you go nose blind to it. Other that, wish you a better experience than I had this evening. read more
