Ponte is located in the vineyards of Temecula. The restaurant is outdoors and even though it was a warm evening, the misters made the temperature very tolerable and pleasant. Dinner began with wine and very ample appetizers. The Burrata salad with reduced balsalmic was excellent. Entrees and deserts were all spectacular as well. We had the duck, meatloaf, shrimp and fish / rice dish with black rice. All great choices. Desert was very generous with the pavolova stealing the show. All great. Will return.

Best restaurant in Temecula Wine Country! Awesome atmosphere, amazing service (even swapped out one of our entrees for another one because it wasn't cooked well, with no charge and no fuss!) and of course, some great wines from Ponte Winery! Just a great place to gather friends, family or a nice date and enjoy the wonderful ambiance of wine country.

We had another wonderful visit. Excellent food, wine, service, and ambiance - even on a scorching hot day. You will love it...

Great atmosphere. Apps and dessert was amazing as well as the wine. Both my husband and my main course was just okay.

Great live music, good foods, pleasant outdoor dining and great service from Cassandra K. Definitely will go back.

Absolutely Fabulous

Nice outdoor dinning in Temecula wine country. Good service. Would definitely go back!

Was so excited to take hubby to celebrate our anniversary. I had been to restaurant with my friends and we had a great time, so I thought going again would be great the same. It wasn’t. Food was good, but service was not. We were greeted and taken to our table promptly. It was very hot and sunny, so we asked 3 different people to lower the shade. Our server finally did, but we had to clip it to the pole so it wouldn’t constantly hit our table with the light breeze. Server told us she would get us water and bread. We got our one serving of water, but no bread. Hubby and I shared a few appetizers and a pizza. We had to ask for an extra plate several times. We ate and enjoyed our food, but hubby was not impressed and he didn’t tip our server, neither did I because There were only a few tables being used and two different servers. We should have had better service.

Beautiful outdoor seating with misters to help on warmer days.

We could have used more misters since the restaurant is outside and it was 95 degrees. The service was very nice as well as the food. Especially loved the flights!

The staff and ambiance could not have been nicer!
The food fell way short - gave it two chances and both nights the food was very mediocre

It took more than 2 hours for our dinner experience and it was not a good experience at all. We didn't see our waitress for 15 minutes after we sat. Then after ordering our food, it took another 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our food. My lamb tasted like a steak and a poor one at that. Then it took another 15 minutes after asking for the check to receive it. Overall one of the worst dinner experiences of my life.

Very nice, birthday dinner. Food was good.

Makes me happy every time I walk in! I love the ambiance and the food and of course the wine!!! The burger is always a must. Tried the turkey / veggie burger and loved it! The staff are so friendsly and accommodating

We have been here many times and the food has always been excellent. However, this time, although my salmon/couscous fish was tasty, it was overly peppery. The size of the piece of salmon was fine for a lunch , but there could have been slightly more of the couscous etc.
My lunch companion was disappointed in her Wine Country salad with Mahi Mahi. The salad dressing was bland, very few pieces if nut and cranberries and Two small pieces if mandarin orange (tinned ?) and the fish did not have a speck of seasoning on it. She had to send it back and also ask for more salad dressing.
Having said all that, we still enjoy lunch at Ponte and maybe it was just a glitch this time as they were very busy.

Not comfortable. The bread had too much tomato sauce, but pretty. This food was okay but not like the website presented. I’m so sorry I was very disappointed. The food was just okay... not special. The menu is on a napkin... not a good first impression for your prices. I thought there was a view according to your website. Most of the tables don’t seam to have a view. Love the idea of the basket for my purse. The entry to the restaurant and signs are charming .it seem that our server had too many table to attend. We ask him to do something for us and he said he and the cook were too busy... not very diplomatic .

The waiter was great, food was awesome and the food was excellent all within a beautiful setting and view of the winery.

Delicious food! The 4 cheese plate was amazing!

The food and service were very good. The temperature on the patio was very high , but
the outdoor sprinklers were helpful.

Very good overall..portions small, but ok. Would like to see more vegetables included. Very pricey.

The food was wonderful and the atmosphere is very nice. It is outdoors with a great view. We were there the day after July 4th and it was not crowded. However, our food took an hour to arrive.

This is a lovely restaurant which is part of the Ponte Winery. The grounds are wonderful to wander through, and it was fun to see grapes on the vines around us. The food was good, especially the charcuterie tray, and their flat Rose was excellent.

The grounds of Ponte are beautiful. The atmosphere is fun. The food, was awful. Everything was so dry it was inedible. The server mentioned it might be dry since it was made earlier and this was the end of service. It was 6.

Delicious lunch served on a beautiful outdoor patio. A must if you are in Temecula. Meatloaf was delicious so were the salads. Excellent service. Thank you.

Arrived on time for 4:30P reservation.
Restaurant relatively empty.
Had excessive wait time at every level ... time to receive water, time to place order, time to receive wine, time to receive first course (total 45 minutes to first course).

Unique dishes with very good presentation and flavor.

Too bad service did not match food quality.

Our server Josh was incredible. Food was incredible and wine was incredible. Love this place!

Relaxing winery restaurant with great wine and food. The restaurant at Ponte has a beautiful and scenic setting.

Awesome experience!

Service here is always amazing! Food is fresh and delicious!

Celebrating our anniversary

We all enjoyed the food that we ordered but the waiter kept forgetting my drink.

Good service, great food and wine. Very relaxing setting eat here often.

Never disappointed at Ponti. Food is always delicious and plated beautifully. Service is outstanding. Wines are to die for and the views of the vineyard just add to the experience,

This was everyones first time here and we loved it. I booked a reservation for my moms birthday and she absolutely loved it. Our waitress was amazing and very knowledgeable. We would definitely come back again. Food was great too!

Ponte Winery never disappoints. The food is always exceptional. The service is always good. I even opted FOR desert which I never do. It was exceptional as well! I can recommend without hesitation.

We are members and love Ponte. Their outdoor restaurant is beautiful in location and the food is incredible. Fresh locally sourced and prepared by an excellent kitchen team. Our eldest child is graduating from high school and this is where he chose to go. It is almost always our family choice for special occasions but my wife and I enjoy it periodically for lunch. Highly recommend.

Have been several times before . Went for early dinner for a graduation celebration . The service and food were excellent as usual

We where impressed with all. Didn't want to join yet another winery, but when all was said and done "YEP" we did it :)!!!

sorry but a little disappointing- salmon tastes great but whatever it was placed on, had no taste. My husband had the lamb and enjoyed it.

Lunch with friends at Ponte winery. Absolutely great food, service, and atmosphere. Highest recommendation
