   Without informing us - this was the last night at the Nightingale and was due to close the next day! Therefore most of the Menu was either off or replaced with something else. The servers were not at all motivated to explain the changes. Surprisingly the limited menu was fairly well done but we left disappointed.

   Loved the homemade bread! Recommend the crunchy potatoes as an appetizer! Delicious! Great atmosphere and service!

   We very much enjoyed our dinner at The Nightingale. The menu was imaginative, the food was excellent, and the service was also very good. If I had to come up with a wish on how they could be made even better, it would be that they increase their portion sizes. That said, I am a big eater! Anyway, we all loved it and thought we had just found a new favorite dining spot, and then, sadly, we were told that they were closing down and their space would be taken over by a sister company restaurant, effective 1/1/2020! Darn it! We love this place and think it is a crime that it will be gone soon! So if you read this before the end of the year, make sure you go now to experience its greatness while you can!

   We've loved The Nightingale since it opened! They care about their food and they care about your experience. Wish there were more restaurants like this!

   New place in Temecula for mostly Italian food. We went at Christmas time, with a reservation, and were seated promptly. Food took a while, but was hot and excellent. Highly recommended if you don't mind an energetic, somewhat noisy environment. We'll be back.

   The only reason I would not recommend Nightingale is because you are closing! I wish that when Goat and Vine takes over you would use Nightingale's menu as the dinner menu. Both restaurants are terrific but we come for the pasta which in not on Goat's menu. I am very sorry to see Nightingale close.

   The food and service was great. We had steamed clams as a starter. My wife had the short rib parppardelle and I had the cioppino. Unfortunately the restaurant is closing the end of December 2019 as it's sister Goat and Vine will move into the space.
