    Honestly, this place could be so much better. It is in a beautiful location and has plenty of space. However, the food isn’t good. I ordered a Caesar Salad, which is hard to mess up but there wasn’t anything spectacular about it. I’d give it a 2/5. Then I ordered the special, the chilled seafood platter. It was God awful. It was probably half my fault for ordering seafood in the middle of wine country, but I figured it had to be fresh because it was the daily special. It was so gross. The crab legs were watery and flavorless. I also wasn’t too sure of the claws, as the meat had a weird consistency. I would not recommend this restaurant, there has to be better options. My gf ordered the filet mignon, which again, was subpar.

    We have never heard of this winery before. What a find. The wines were delicious. The meal was out of this world. Will always be on my list when visiting Temecula.

    Three of us had lunch today. One the vegan burger, two the turkey sandwich, and three large chef salad. All were excellent. And the staff and Service there was off the charts excellent. So friendly so helpful. We had a wonderful afternoon.

    Was expecting better quality in the food served for the price. Some items such as the seafood and prime rib were a good value. The rest of the food was just mediocre and I was really expecting more for $125 a person..
