They are dog friendly for outdoor seating but be warned, there are three winery dogs who roam free; so don’t bring dog reactive dogs here. Otherwise, this is a fantastic winery to visit. They offer small shareable plates to snack on. Kids are welcome but they have to stay inside in a side room (that’s all glass walls so easy to spot). Parking lot is stone and there’s a narrow road to get in so drive slow. Overall, great for tasting or a lovely afternoon”

“Fierro’s Pizza catered our staff party and absolutely crushed it. The setup was seamless, the staff was professional and kind, and somehow hot, delicious pizza just kept appearing… and then immediately disappearing thanks to my very happy guests. Everyone was fed, full, and thriving. They even left us late-night bites, which was a heroic move. The food was fresh, tasty, and the setup was clean and cute, not your typical chaotic pizza situation. For context, we had about 25 people, everyone was stuffed, and we still had leftovers. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone throwing a party who wants zero stress and very full guests.”

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Chin's Gourmet and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The chef's recommendations were absolutely outstanding - every dish was packed with flavor and prepared perfectly.

The dumplings were some of the best we've had: fresh, delicate, and incredibly flavorful. The green beans were exceptional, cooked to perfection with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. The rice dishes were equally delicious and complemented everything beautifully.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive, welcoming, and made our family feel right at home. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal together.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine and aren't sure what to order, trust the chef's recommendations-you won't be disappointed. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Highly recommended!”

I love all their lemonade versions - tastes like actual lemonade to me, and they use cool fruits in their kombucha like dragonfruit!

Chocolate Bash 352 W Valley Pkwy, Escondido Dessert • $$

“Went recently after watching a movie with my family and happened to stumble on this shop since it’s beside the theatre in the shopping centre. Once we got inside we were immediately greeted by the staff and were graciously guided through the menu. From aesthetic milkshakes to tasty chocolate covered strawberries they had a variety of options for everyone in the family. My mother ended up trying the Dubai strawberry cup with chocolate drizzle and pistachio cream drizzled throughout the cup. The cup was made with a good ratio of strawberries and drizzle where each bite had a bit of everything. My brother ended up ordering lava cake with vanilla ice cream, it was a covered in dark chocolate and had a very decadent smell. The ice cream given to us was a very big scoop which let every bite of the lava cake pair with the smooth ice cream. I was particularly interested in the build your own experience as they provided a variety of options to create the best product for each person exactly how they want it, making it unique for everyone. I ended up enjoying the mini pancakes covered with dark chocolate drizzle and I learned they serve Belgian chocolate which is my favourite. The store was clean and the atmosphere was nostalgic with the rock feature wall. The staff was very friendly and patient, doing their best to satisfy their customers. Overall would recommend and will be coming back again with my friends”

We each had a flight which consisted of 2 of their award winning reds, and a really nice prosecco. I do not pretend to be a wine connoisseur, but I know what tastes good to me. Everything we tasted was delicious, of high quality and was elevated over the top by the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners Barbera and Dennis, as well as our hostess. We had an awesome time. Highly recommended!”

The broth tastes the best and they have a special marinated soft boiled egg that no other place knows how to do (so good I order an extra egg). I get mine with chashu (grilled pork) which is also superior in flavor and preparation than all the other places. If you want Japanese ramen, look no further.”
