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!

Humble Somm is a welcome and long-overdue addition to Old Town Temecula. My wife and I had a…read morefantastic time from the moment we walked in -- the aesthetic is modern and chic, the kind of space that immediately sets the mood for a great evening. 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.

What a great find. The wine server at nearby Pamec Patio Wine Bar recommended this spot, mentioning…read moreit was a favorite among the team and managers, and I'm so glad we took the suggestion. 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!!

The owner was delightful as was the chef. We had Oyster, followed by a stone fruit salad I was worried about until I took one bite and ate every bit of it. The next course was duck confit followed by filet mignon then dessert. I usually have pictures for my reviews, but I was so thoroughly enjoying my food I plum forgot to take a picture. Every good and wine pairing was perfect. To be fair I passed this place a few times, but never really knew they served food because of the name. You need this food in your life. My husband and I will be back.

For our mains, we ordered the salmon and their steak frites with a side of charred broccolini. It was probably one of the best steaks I've had! So much flavor and the fries were perfect! Since their menu changes seasonally, I'm excited to see how the menu changes next season!

The views from the top were gorgeous, especially since we arrived around sunset and got to overlook the vineyards. Getting to the restaurant was part of the experience. We walked through the wine barrel area before reaching our private dining space, and the name definitely speaks for itself because you're literally dining inside a cave! The dim lighting, ambiance, and beautiful table setting made the evening feel extra special. We started with the chimichurri fries, which were so good! The bread with melted cheese and marinara was another favorite. We had a set menu for dinner, and I chose the Maine lobster followed by the cannolis for dessert. The lobster was a little overcooked for me, but it was seasoned well and the presentation was beautiful. The cannolis were delicious! Our servers were wonderful and very attentive throughout the evening. Overall, we had a great dining experience and such a fun night with the group. I definitely want to come back and try their wine tasting next time!

At one point, I accidentally dropped my glass of sangria and the wine glass shattered. Philip appeared almost instantly with a broom and took care of everything. Then, without me even asking, he asked what I had been drinking and went and got me a brand-new glass of sangria to replace it. When I thanked him, he simply said, "My pleasure," and you could tell he truly meant it. He genuinely seems to enjoy what he does and taking care of guests. That kind of service really stands out and made an already great event even more memorable. Great job, Europa, and a special thank you to Philip!

The whole property has such a charming European-inspired atmosphere, which made the experience feel like a little getaway without having to travel far. It's a great place to relax, enjoy some wine, grab a few tapas, and take in the scenery. Definitely a fun spot for a date, girls' day, or just a relaxing afternoon. Would love to come back and explore more of the different villages!

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!
