Korean • $$
“We moved to Murrieta 6 years ago. We struggled to find great quality Korean BBQ near here, till now. The quality of the meat was great! They have the best tasting kimchi I've had since leaving the Orange County LA area. We no longer have to drive all the way to Los Angeles for great Korean BBQ. The service was amazing. They are very friendly and attentive. We went on Valentines day and they have every lady who walked in a rose. It was a very special added touch to all ready great service.”

“This is one of the best decisions I have made. I had been very sketchy about credit repair. I thought it was a big lie and always had bad impressions and said negative comments, but my doubt was cleared when my friend Jolene recommended Metronet Credit Solution. A team of experienced credit experts that are always on standby to help. I them about my predicament and they promised to help. Within 11days they removed all negative accounts and cleared every negative item from all three credit-reporting bureaus, (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax) and raised my credit score to 790’s from the initial 589 and also added some positive trade line. I’ve got my new car thanks to the team at metronet for helping me qualify for an auto loan. I highly recommend metronet for any credit related issues. You can reach them on +12055183032 .”
Wine Bar • $$
“I've been twice now and it was amazing both times! Everything from the time you sit down to walking out to a 10!! Food, wine and tea are all unique and extraordinary!! You won't find any of this anywhere else and that's hard to say in the restaurant business. Having owned a restaurant myself, I'm very picky about everything and they are on point everywhere you look. From the decor to staff to the food/drinks themselves the experience is outstanding!!”

“Haley, our server, was the best server I have ever had in my entire life! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating to my food allergies. She was super sweet and got to things quickly, making sure our drinks were always full, and we were satisfied! I can’t compliment her enough, thank you for a wonderful dining experience, Haley, we will be back just for her!”
Cafe • $$

“I work in the L.A. area where I first tried CAVA and it was great tasting food and the portion size for the cost was great. Then when I found out about the Temecula location I was actually excited to check it out. Oh damn, when I checked it out and ordered a few bowls for myself and the fam-bam, it was just as GREAT! Their garlicky chicken shawarma and chicken & rice bowl were freakin' delicious! I was finally able to get some authentic tasting shawarma! I highly recommend this place!”

Ice Cream Shop • $
“IMO this is one of the best (top 3) ice cream places. The service and ice cream are great. The portions are very generous. Handel's small size ice cream is comparable to the large size in other ice cream parlors. Unless you have a huge appetite I recommend staying with the small size.”
Coffee Shops • $
“The owner is amazing, the staff is great, the coffee is excellent!”
Brewery • $$
“Batch Mead is such an innovative business that's brought something truly special to Temecula. As someone who loves wine but gets headaches from it, and with a partner who's allergic to grapes, we didn't realize what we were missing until we discovered mead. Batch Mead has opened up a whole new world for us as social drinkers—finally, an alternative that works for both of us.
Beyond the exceptional drinks themselves, I have to give appreciation for the beautiful artwork on the bottles and the welcoming atmosphere they've created. The past couple of times we've visited, they've partnered with other small local businesses like axe throwing venues and brought in fantastic food options including loaded potatoes and pizza. It's clear they're invested in building community, not just serving drinks.
Batch Mead has filled a gap in our community that many of us didn't even know existed. Wishing these entrepreneurs continued success and prosperity—they truly deserve it!”

Ice Cream Shop • $
“An absolutely outstanding example of traditional hand crafted Italian Gelato made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients by a Hungarian Italian gentleman who is an artist of the highest calibre and a genius of exotic flavors that you simply must experience to understand. Words written by me simply cannot do justice to this man's creative abilities! I have yet to taste any of his creations that I didn't love! My only problem is trying to decide..but I just get a scoop of each! As should be expected, every great man is made greater by a great woman and his Hungarian wife is no less an artist as she hand crafts traditional Hungarian pastries with traditional methods that are absolutely heavenly! A beautiful and exceptionally clean little dessert shop that will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart every time! I hope that Temecula appreciates the fact that they don't have to travel halfway around the globe to experience some wonderful European treats that are right at their fingertips! 5 stars every time, always 10 out of 10!”

“WOW. 😲 Chef K Chinese restaurant is a TOTAL GAME-CHANGER! The Pepper chicken is 🔥 fire, the Mongolia beef is OFF THE CHARTS, and the cream cheese wontons? Mind. Blowed. 🤯
But it's not just the food – Manager Austin and the crew are top-notch, making sure you're having the best experience. Service and food = PERFECT MATCH.

“What a feast we had in Boleros Easter Sunday brunch! There was a great selection of scrumptious & well balanced food from meat, fish, seafood, salads, grains, veggies, fruits, desserts, cheese board,etc. Food was excellently seasoned with no repetition of flavors. We’re not the only ones who was fully satisfied but the Chef “catered “ & “pampered “my sister who had a strict diet, worked his magic in the kitchen & came out with a surprise plate! What a treat! Who does that? She felt so “special” & who would not? Not to forget the ambiance & amazing staff . We’re treated like a “family”!!! Thank you so much for our first banquet experience!!!!”

Wineries • $$
“I came out to this gorgeous mom and pop vineyard on 8/3 with my bestie, and we did the wine tasting and it was worth every penny. Our waiter Heston was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us great recommendations. I ended up buying 2 bottles of wine to get shipped back to Delaware so I could have a piece of California in my kitchen. The Syrah Rock Creek is my absolute favorite new red wine. For a white their vermentino is a perfect white wine. I am not a big white wine person I loved it. Whenever I am back on the west coast I will be coming back again.”

Ramen • $$
“Im going to say it, after searching for 10 years and encountering just very bland or Americanized ramen this is it. I lived in Japan for several years and I've been trying to find something close to the flavor of broth you'd see in Japan. Give this place a try, the Classic Ramen is so rich in flavor, so creamy, you won't regret coming here.”
Mexican • $$
“Really good food! Love the chips and salsa and tasted several drinks ~ A hidden gem slightly off the footpath of old town Temecula. Not open late (till 9) but a relaxing atmosphere to dine in that will not burst your eardrums like other establishments. No over the top theatrics, just really good food and drinks, tastefully decorated and a great patio. Can’t wait to go back : )”

“Have nothing but good things to say. It was me and my girlfriend’s first time at a winery and the front desk people were so helpful with suggestions on what to do and we forgot toothpaste and needed tampons and they brought them to us. They offer free shuttles to go where you need so you don’t have to worry about Ubers or driving. The food was delicious for room service and at their sister resort. Excited to come back when it’s warmer to check out the pool.”
Cafe • $
“We visited Blends in the Pechanga Casino lobby for the first time, after usually getting coffee from the food court.
The beautiful, clean, and organized space immediately gave off a cozy vibe, and the display of pastries and breakfast sandwiches was impressive.
My sister and I were excited for our treat, a hot white mocha and carrot cake for me, and a hot café latte with a pistachio eclair for her. Everything tasted incredible. Our drinks were made perfectly, and the pastries were super fresh.
Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. The staff was disengaged, and our barista handed us our drinks without any greeting or eye contact, which was an odd and unwelcoming experience. Although we were happy with our treats, I'll be heading back to our usual spot in the food court next time I need my casino caffeine.”
“great response time and amazing customer service”

“Thankfully this location is open for indoor dining. So tired of eating in my car on the road. I want to get out and sit down and eat and stretch my legs. Hats off to owner and staff for being open. Menifee and Murrieta locations are all closed up inside. 🙁 Also very nice and clean inside, friendly staff.”

“unfortunately the young gal waiting on us really was either very new or not well trained. it took FOREVER to get a happy meal and egg Mcmuffin sandwich. She never seemed to be organized nor fill the order, totally distracted, and confused. Then was unable to count back change, not sure about making payment. This is not your normal fast food.”
Korean • $$
“I discovered this place a month ago while visiting Temecula and purposely drove from San Diego again today to eat here because there is nothing that even comes close to matching the quality and amount of food you get, especially for the price.

We come out every year for my husband’s birthday and visit many different places he visited as a young man. I look for places to add. I have found it! The service is full of energy and love for their food. Completely passionate and intoxicating. (Listen to their suggestions!!!) I can’t thank them enough for this food!! Jovany and the “big guy” are the best!!!!!!”

Steak House • $$
“It looks like a hearty steakhouse-style meal. The main plate features a large, bone-in steak cooked well-done (as indicated by the marker), with a nice sear on the outside. It’s served with creamy mashed potatoes, charred broccolini, and a small cup of savory steak sauce on the side.
Next to it, there’s a separate bowl of classic macaroni and cheese—bright, cheesy, and creamy—served on a small plate with a spoon.
Overall, it’s a rich, comforting, and satisfying meal with a nice balance of protein, veggies, and a cheesy side.”
American • $$
“I hate to just give out five stars Willie Nelly, but the place is called burgers and beers. They serve burgers and they serve beer and they did it really well. Our server was super friendly. The guy who ran our food was nice we weren’t rushed everyone knew what they were talking about. They were very professional and the food was really good. I had a burger with a fried egg on top, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. We actually had wings here too just to see what they were like being from Buffalo myself. They actually weren’t bad now don’t get me wrong. They were not buffalo wings, but they did well.”

“First time at this bbq joint. Inside looks like a mix between a bar and a restaurant. There is outside sitting as well and also what looked like a private room for bigger groups. We shared beef ribs and a salad. Both were delicious. About the ribs, not many places have beef ribs and when they do they’re not as amazingly tasty as these were! Waitress was very friendly. We’ll be back to try other items on the menu.
Highly recommended!”

“We have lived in Temecula for over 20 years. We've seen Wine Country grow, modernize, and change. Most of it is amazing for our area and economy. However, when it comes to visiting wineries, many of the larger properties fall short of the quintessential experience. And though we have a few favorite area wineries, Bella Vista is the shining star among many!
Forget stuffy, pretentious, long lines and expensive tastings. Visit Bella Vista for their lovely wines, truly friendly tasting room staff, and absolutely GORGEOUS views! This is what Temecula Wine Country is supposed to be! This winery has been around a long time (I think the oldest in town!) but the affordability is still there. New ownership is bringing in some modern touches, like the Cilurzo Speakeasy, while leaving the small-town familiar feel that I think is so important to our city.
This winery is where we take friends visiting Temecula for the first time... we eat a lovely charcuterie lunch overlooking the lake and views, while sipping our latest favorite BV vino. I'm also a huge fan of their fresh sangrias!
My hubs and I also recently attended their Valentine Dinner in the Cilurzo, where we enjoyed an absolutely delicious 4 course dinner with a bottle of wine and live piano music. We were welcomed and treated like family....precisely why Bella Vista is our absolute favorite winery.
See you all soon for our next pickup! xoxo”

Even though it's very convenient located in Temecula wine country. it's just a wonderful escape from the noisy buisiness of life. The food is definitely upscale and every attention to detail has been considered. of course the wine speaks for itself. I highly recommend it.”

“Dined at Umi just before our concert and would highly recommend! Great experience from the very first contact with the hostess stand. When we told our waiter, Robert, we were going to the concert, he recommended we order right away, as it was going to be 20-25 minutes for sushi. We took his advice, he made delicious recommendations for cocktails and sushi rolls and he remained attentive throughout the meal. One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in a very long time.”

“A visit to Europa Village is a little journey one can take, without spending expensive airfare and taking time off for a European vacation! The beautiful architecture and ambiance of the winery has been created with such attention to detail, truly unique to Wine Country. The wine and culinary offerings are diverse and so delicious! For our equestrian group, the outstanding customer service was beyond compare. Owner Dan set us up with Brian in Operations, who worked closely with our event coordinator to deliver a perfect experience! Our lunch was delicious, Max the Mercato Mgr ensured our large pre-order was ready on time. John, Winery Mgr, ensured we were perfectly situated the day of our event. Matt, Wine Club mgr, gave an excellent impromptu presentation to our group explaining the vision, mission and future of the estate with an insiders perspective. Many of us joined the Wine Club! The entire day could not have been better! Thank you Europa for allowing a special equestrian event such as ours to take place. We look forward to our next visit!

“A fairytale come true for our wedding ❤️ we had our wedding on a Monday and I truly recommend to all brides who want a romantic and intimate wedding to plan for a day the winery is typically closed. Cecily was right on target with that recommendation as we we held our ceremony in the front under the clock arch with a beautiful aisle for my walk up to my (now) husband 🤭 our reception was then held in the usual private event space under the wrought iron arches. Cecily was wonderful and so helpful with our decor rentals, day of adjustments, and the ceremony itself! The owner Dorian truly loves love and was such a HUGE cheerleader for it all ❤️ I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH”

“Thank God for Hendo’s!!! 🙌
After receiving horrible treatment and leaving Destination Smokehouse, we tried to salvage my son’s 30th birthday by finding another restaurant he might enjoy at the last minute. Hendo’s to the rescue!
From the warm greeting to the excellent customer service and amazing food, our son ended up having the BEST 30th birthday lunch!
We were even lucky enough to meet Dan Hendo himself, and my son got a picture with him — which was truly the icing on his birthday cake! 🎂
Thank you so much, Hendo’s, for turning the day around and making his special milestone birthday unforgettable.

The steaks themselves were very generously seasoned with pepper and salt, I am a fan of this since I don't use steak sauce but it is something to be aware of. The brussel sprouts were also amazing with a hint of sweetness.
Will definitely make the trip back”

“Awesome! Exquisite. Culinary perfection. Unsolicited Celebrity Chef endorsement -- we were amazed by everything! An absolute 'must experience' when in Temecula. I cherish the rare moments when Amy and I discover gems -- exciting, classic, shops and restaurants that take our breath away. Le Coffee Shop is such a place as this. We learned of Le Coffee on Wednesday night -- we were so excited, we barely slept. We read their reviews, looked at their menu, and simply could not wait for morning to arrive so we could meet the French Chefs / owners and dive in on authentic French made croissants, omelets, and time together as a family all while enjoying coffee and great food. Next morning ... we arrived at Le Coffee Shop shortly after opening. Aromas of pastries and breads baking hung heavy in the air. It helped tilt the experience forward with the sights and smells of fresh roasted coffee awaiting us at the coffee bar. I ordered a classic croissant with a coffee, Ames ordered an almond croissant, coffee and we agreed to share a cheddar, bacon and caramelized onion omelet. HF! Absolute and total perfection -- service, quality of food ingredients, aromas, and the flavor profiles -- total French perfection.”

“What a feast we had in Boleros Easter Sunday brunch! There was a great selection of scrumptious & well balanced food from meat, fish, seafood, salads, grains, veggies, fruits, desserts, cheese board,etc. Food was excellently seasoned with no repetition of flavors. We’re not the only ones who was fully satisfied but the Chef “catered “ & “pampered “my sister who had a strict diet, worked his magic in the kitchen & came out with a surprise plate! What a treat! Who does that? She felt so “special” & who would not? Not to forget the ambiance & amazing staff . We’re treated like a “family”!!! Thank you so much for our first banquet experience!!!!”

“First impression wasn't that great. The owner at my first perception was impatient with me as I entered the restaurant and sat in an open booth vice a table. I had my kid in tow and did not want to deal with the hustle of a large chain. I had to be somewhere and this was on my way. Never judge hastily. This was the best food brunch I've had and he was so kind to have his kitchen make a Mikey pancake for my kid. It was very kind and I'll be coming back frequently. Recommend recommend recommend”

They lady was working very hard to help everyone who arrived all at once ( relatively busy tasting room 4 tables). Pours and flights are generous. The Brut was very good. The only critic I have is the red wines were light bodied and tasting room is well kept but old fashion.”

It’s easy to see how beautiful their work is, but the taste can’t be beat! Everything we’ve had from them is so delicious, from tiramisu to a traditional cake. For us, finding buttercream that’s not overwhelming is difficult, and theirs is soft and perfectly balanced. We recommend them to our bride and grooms all the time and look forward to the reception every time we see them on the vendor list!”

I bought about 5 different food items to give them all a try. Not the best idea. Please take me back to Paris where everything tastes wonderful!! I won’t be getting food items here again. But the coffee flavors are always great. I’m glad to see locations popping up everywhere. The first better buzz I went to was in San Diego. Now we have two in Temecula. Too much of this coffee gives me an anxiety though. I’m hoping for a better tasting decaf one day.”
