Food was just ok. Wine was great and the service was excellent. Prices for food were expensive for what we got.
Anniversary
Beautiful 70th birthday dinner for 8. The food was delicious, service was great and the ambiance was nice...lights and the heaters made it comfortable to eat outside.
We love the food at Ponte and have never had a bad meal there. Eating outside in the beautiful weather is so relaxing.
The overall setting at Ponte is serene and the views of the valley are nice while enjoying a meal. The service is top notch and my salad greens were fresh. I will definitely return!
Wonderful friendly service. Good food and nice selection. Beautiful ambience
Menu is very good and best to get a reservation as it fills up most times.
Great food, great wine & lovely setting. We had the mussels & calamari appetizers along with a bottle of Tempranillo along with the delicious herb bread...Ponte is our go-to restaurant when visiting Temecula.
As always the food was excellent and the service was outstanding.

Great food. The sea bass special and the seafood pasta was to die for. Definitely coming back.
The swordfish was fantastic. We have never been disappointed at Ponte.
Wonderful atmosphere, eating with vineyard surrounding you, food is excellent with good options of salads, fish, pastas
A little pricey but the food was absolutely delicious! The view outside was beautiful and peaceful, a nice get away. This was my first time there and I was pleasantly surprised. I will be back!
Food was well prepared, service was good (server was attentive and cordial), other staff was helpful and attentive to Covid restrictions.
Awesome menu. The fish and chips special was the best I have ever had. The sea food pasta my wife had was pretty good too. Also great wine.
Excellent. We come here frequently for good food, good wine and relaxation. Ponte has always been our favorite in Temecula wine country.
Great food, and live music which was fantastic for Valentine's Day!!
We had a very nice lunch! The food is always amazing! Great service & people!
Beautiful property, terrific service. Safe environment and atmosphere. Great restaurant for gluten free and healthy dining. Good sized portions. Definitely recommended.
Great experience as always.
It was amazing!
Ponte is our favorite restaurant in Temecula wine country. The food is absolutely wonderful. I order something different every time and it is always my favorite! The ambience and view are unparalleled.
I’ve been eating at this restaurant for years & have never had a bad meal. This restaurant is my 1st choice when visiting Temecula
We generally love this restaurant but the food was not up to par. I asked for salt, pepper flakes and lemon and made it just OK. For a dish with sea food, capers and lemon juice, it was the most bland pasta I've had. The chicken we added to a salad was shoe leather.
I do recommend this place but maybe after the regular chef returns after the pandemic.
Everything was perfect and amazing as usual! Ponte never disappoints 🙌🏼
Best ever! Our waitress was super accommodating! Such a great day! Much appreciated!
Food was cold and overpriced. Red wine glasses were tiny and did not allow the wine to breath. We celebrated my birthday, and I requested one of their best tables, so they sat us in front of the kitchen doors, in the middle of the walkway. LOL!
Server Suzanna was awesome; really missed her, the food and the restaurant
Food was delicious and service was excellent! Some of the best wine in Temecula.
This is our favorite restaurant in Temecula! The food, the wine and the environment is exceptional. I glad we could celebrate my wife’s birthday. Ponte Winery never disappoints. I had the Chapiono and My wife the Sea food Pasta amazing.
Great food, wine and ambiance! Entire winery and restaurant extremely friendly and efficient. Never rushed us at lunch or wine tasting.
The restaurant at Ponte Winery does not disappoint every time we go. The food is delicious, wait staff friendly and efficient, and ambiance terrific! I'd love to get the chef's recipe for the Brussel sprout leaves appetizer! As far as Covid goes, tables are far apart and all staff wear masks. They even put on gloves to snap your picture if requested!
I love going to Ponte. It is limited based on Covid restrictions. Went to pick up my wine I wanted to sit in the member area they said they were reserved but then watched two other individuals allowed to sit there based on employees they knew...hmmm. Ate ate the V outdoor restaurant food was great!
We frequent your restaurant often. But the food was off yesterday. We ordered the Ono fish on salad and it was so fishy not fresh . That whole salad we could do with ingredients from Costco and the fish would of been fresh. Pizza dough was real chewy. Very disappointed.
We jumped to get reservations as soon as we heard Ponte was open. Their menu was more limited than I remember but that may be due to being shut down for weeks. Im so happy they are back! I look forward to enjoying all the great, tasty food. The wine is always good.
Excellent atmosphere, organic food, and wonderful service. Love the overall ambience and eating outside in the garden!
