Their gluten free pancakes are like biting into heaven” We appreciate all the gluten free options and love the atmosphere.“

“Great food and relaxing vibe!“

“This is a place you need to try! Great vibe, and family friendly! Today my husband and I came for dinner. I had the Salmon. So moist and tender and with crispy skin, seasoned perfectly 👌 It came with wild rice pilaf and assorted vegetables with a balsamic drizzle. Beautiful presentation. My smaller wedge salad was Huge! and delicious with big chunks of blue cheese. My husband had the burger, it was so thick, i'd say at least 1/2 or 3/4 lbs medium rare. A perfect place to watch the game and enjoy a spectacular meal. Thanks Hendo, we appreciate you.“

“good customer service they have the Angels baseball game on so my favorite“

“My first experience (years ago) I was not impressed. This time though it was a great experience.
Had the Mexicali burger with extra serranos and it was a treat.
Wife has the imperial fig burger and loved it.
Also recommend the cactus fries!“

“Great service and food!!!“

“Siggy's is a nice place. The crew work hard, are courteous, and take pride in their work. The odor in the men's bathroom has improved much, so good job! However, I have a suggestion. The last two times I have been there was so much salt on the fries, that they were really inedible. I love salt and tend to over salt but not even I could eat them.
Maybe you could check the holes on the salt dispenser. Might be time to get a new one. At any rate, Siggy's is a nice restaurant and I'll be back. Keep up the good work.“

“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 .“

“🙂👍 Kimberly does a great job!“

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and staff - along with good of wines.“

“Great experience. Came in here for a quick bite and experience personable and warm hospitality equivalent rivaling Michelin rated restaurants. Food was tasty and quality. My overall experience brought me back. The staff recognized me from my last visit all the way down to remembering that Im here on a work trip.

Great food options, great staff on both occasions I have been here. I definitely recommend this spot“

“Great food and great service“

“Date night with the wife. Delicious food and awesome service.“

“Service was excellent and will keep me coming back. But the restaurant itself is dated and doesn't feel like an exciting place to be. I mean, I know restaurants are about food, where does "excitement" come in? Many newer restaurants though have such a strong vibe that you want to stay longer and order more. Examples: North Italia, YardHouse“

“Consistent quality, everything is delicious! Best Shrimp and Grits ever, as well as the Crab cakes Benedict. The Murrieta location is outstanding!“

“Great wine tasting experience, Heidi was terrific at making suggestions for my wife's tasting session, and was very personable as well. We also had lunch. Lunch was perfectly paced. We relaxed while enjoying the view. I had the seafood paella with a side of double-fried Brussel sprouts, and my wife had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection. As a finish we had the white chocolate cheesecake. Overall it was a great experience and a very pleasant afternoon.“

“Great Starters…Enjoyed the hot wings, pretzel dippers and the Cali flatbread. The Great provider is yummy. The ambience and our waiter Jake was great. Great time with my handsome Son“

“My Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Sandwhich was soooo good. (I added avocado. Bread was fresh and delicious. Definitely ordering again.“

“Very cozy and Travis makes you feel welcome“

“Today we went to Yard House for lunch and had a great experience. We chose Yard House because they have such a wide variety of menu items, so there is usually something for everyone.

We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. We had the option of indoor or outdoor seating, but since it was a hot day we chose to sit inside. There were quite a few other people dining, but the noise level was comfortable and we were still able to enjoy our conversation. They also have a large bar area with plenty of seating and TVs if you want to catch a game.

My friend started with a refreshing Bloody Mary, and for lunch we ordered the classic burger and a chicken bowl. Everything was delicious and the burger was cooked perfectly. They also offer a variety of food and drink specials, and their Happy Hour is definitely worth checking out.

Our server, Lori, was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Great food, plenty of menu options and good service. We will definitely return!“

“What a cool place in an otherwise ordinary strip mall. The atmosphere instantly transports you across the pond to a classic pub in downtown Belfast off of a cobblestone alleyway without you having to leaving Temecula. The food was delicious. We were lucky enough to get a couple of the prime rib sandwich offerings and the meat just melted in our mouths. They also have some Mexican offerings too like taco Tuesday and carne asada fries. The server Maddie was awesome and I can't wait to return to try some more delicious fare.“

“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“

“Great food and great service.“

“They are so nice! I loved going in and chatting with the owners. They made sure I knew what I was getting and offered me some samples to taste. Everything was so good it was hard to choose what to get! The place was very clean and inviting. The food is delicious and great portions. We ended up sharing everything so we could try it all. I would highly recommend checking out this place. Everything was fresh and made exactly how I asked for it. We will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic food, service and music by Diego Mondragon.“

“I'm a member here at the Alano club and I have to say that if your trying to get real recovery this is the place for you. Absolutely love this place and all the people who come here. The Noon AA meetings are fantastic and also the NA meetings as well. If your new to the area and looking for meetings this is the place for you.“

“My friends and I went to on Saturday night For karaoke and had a great time. The food was good the service was awesome . Went back on Sunday for the catfish, The bartender was awesome as our server, but the manager had a bad attitude. After such a great experience on Friday and to come back and encounter the little manager on staff it just made everything go down hill. A food came out cold After asking the manager if our food was ready she stated it was not.. Then when we received it it was cold. our awesome server believer her name was Tammy She was the bartender came over to check on us and found out that our food was really cold and had it replaced. Again the only thing that made Sunday not as favorable Ask Saturday was the manager.“

“Karl Strauss Brewing Company in Temecula continues to deliver a solid, welcoming dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere hits the right balance—energetic yet relaxed, with a clean, well-maintained dining room and bar area that makes for a comfortable meal.
​The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, ensuring water was refilled and checking in without feeling rushed.
​As for the food, the kitchen delivered on both fronts:
​Pork Chops: Well-seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right, serving as a hearty and flavorful main dish.
​Classic Burger: Juicy, freshly prepared, and served on a fresh bun with balanced toppings—a classic brewpub staple executed well.
​Overall, it’s a dependable spot with great food, good service, and a spotlessly clean environment. We will definitely be back.“

“Holy smok’d hog you have done it!!! We came in last night for the first time and it WILL NOT be the last!! Full rack of ribs, 2 pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread, potato salad, and mac & cheese was freakin’ amazing!!! The best I have ever eaten!!! I love your great service, sample to taste sauces, and super kind staff. You guys rock the BBQ like no one else ❤️“

“Great venue we meet here now for our referral group“

“What a lovely Easter brunch! Good variety of delicious foods, reasonably priced, excellent and friendly service. Go and experience it yourself!“

“I've eaten at Oscar's several times in the past year and have always been satisfied with both the food and the service. I went there for lunch yesterday and the service provided by Omar was nothing short of marvelous. He was attentive without being "overbearing" - and checked with us often to ensure we had everything we needed, we comfortable (we were sitting outside) and were enjoying our food. Omar is truly an outstanding server. The food - as always - was really good, but Omar was great!“

“This was a lovely bistro type restaurant and the vegan options were spectacular. Doug was especially helpful and went out of his way to answer questions. The vegan burrito and almond butter pancakes. Top notch! Best burrito I’ve had in my recent memory.“

“Great food and excellent service. Kudos to Stephanie who always greets us with a smile.“

“Denise is so amazing. She is a wonderful manager. She knows her stuff. I am so happy I found this place. Has great food. Good workers. Is one of the best breakfast in our area by far!!!“

“Five stars! We stopped at Lorimar Vineyards during a road trip with a group of six and it ended up being one of the highlights of the road trip.

We did a wine tasting and had an incredible experience. PJ took care of us and was fantastic from start to finish. He walked us through some of the best wines, gave great recommendations, answered all of our questions, and made the entire tasting fun and memorable.

Special shout out to PJ for making what was supposed to be a quick pit stop such a great experience. Excellent wine, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. We will definitely be back.“

“We had such a nice experience last night. We arrived late and are staying at a different hotel that requires reservations for dinner. We found this place which was right next to our hotel/resort and it was the best. Great food and service was exceptional. They have a happy hour and they were very accomodating. It’s a stark difference to some of the other wineries which are not kid-friendly and a bit rude. I definitely recommend it for dinner if you are in Temecula and have a little one.“

“We generally visit different wineries for brunch each Sunday. South coast is one of our favorites. this was the first time, out of many visits there, where our host was the worst in service and attitude. Nothing I ordered was done as ordered, the other four members had no problems, although I paid the bill and left him a 20% tip. I will not want him as my server again.“

“We dined in the indoor Cave área with the wine barrels around us. It was a great experience. The food was good as well as the atmosphere. I highly recommend this for a date night or even friends. The outdoor patio area is also a good place to dine and listen to music. However, for a different experience, I recommend indoor dining at least once.“

“After a nice day at the winery we then hit Long Horn steakhouse for our anniversary dinner.
Never go wrong at LongHorn no matter the occasion. Ambience is very intimate and dark. A nice place to wind down. Our server Mia was very nice and quick to identify anything we needed. The bread was perfect. The lobster and shrimp chowder has nice creamy flavor.“

“Lisa and the rest of the staff were soooo darn friendly! they made my experience even more special! They did everything correctly while serving me and my greedy family lol. Now the food was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!! We ordered a lot of different items from the menu so we were able to try almost everything and be the judge and boy did everything taste to perfection! The Restaurant had nice decor and was very tidy! the Restrooms were CLEAN! The Staff was amazing! Parking was convenient and easy! And most importantly, the food was ABSOLUTELY FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!!!! Thank you!!!!“
