My wife brought me here last year and we absolutely loved it. Great food, service was on point, ambiance was fantastic as a moody, speakeasy style place. We came back last night to celebrate my wife's birthday and it was completely different. The place and the food was still great but the service was absolutely horrendous. We walked in, wasn't greeted and had to sit ourselves as the host seemed to be busy on his computer and the wait staff didn't even acknowledge us. We sat at the bar which wasn't cleaned off, and the Zoe the bartender said hi, wiped off the mess and walked away. No interaction, no welcome, no glad to have you here. We had to ask for water, we had to ask for dinner menus, we had to say we're ready to order. WE had to get her to do HER job as she seemed so disinterested in being there. We felt completely ignored the entire night while other guests sitting at the tables were regularly attended to. Mind you, there were THREE bartenders behind the bar and my wife and I were the only ones sitting there. Not okay and I'm not sure we'll be back if that's the level of service that's provided.

Excellent on-point moody speakeasy. Cooper was friendly and took the time to listen and learn what our unique taste buds desired. Cooper did an outstanding job with a perfectly mixed set of drinks to our unique tastes.

We had reservation and got seated right away, food was delicious server friendly the only complaint is that they take extremely long to get your drinks (we got there when only 2 other tables had guests) and still took very long to get drinks as they got busier it got even worst wait time to get the drinks. But all drinks ka are worth the wait and again food was deliciuos

Unique experience to have a mixologist fix a drink for us based on what flavors we like. Cooper did an excellent job, was very friendly and you can tell he loves what he's doing.

Arrived at 1:50pm for a 2pm reservation and told by the Valet sorry there is no parking available. We drove through the entire parking area 3 times and were frustrated and left.

The Distillery is a great spot for a cocktail or a glass of wine. We also ate lunch there, and the food was good. I highly recommend having the bartender craft you a custom cocktail. It was a cool experience, and the drink was delicious.

I’m selling 4 GA Jon Batiste Tickets for Thursday show September 18th at Mountain Winery - Saratoga, CA. If anyone interested in buying please send me a message ASAP unfortunately we cannot attend anymore. Willing to transfer them via Ticketmaster

Since it is advertised as a speakeasy it would be great for them to ask for a codeword or such to add to the atmosphere. Great food and drinks though.
Wendy
Great vibe, but felt the food and wine was overpriced and mediocre. Would have ordered a cocktail, but they didn't have cognac. What bar doesn't have cognac?

The food and drinks were fantastic. Service was very slow. It's too dark and loud for my taste.
It's more of a bar, like a speakeasy. Not a restaurant. We had to go to the bar to ask about being seated. Waited a long time to order. Menu is mostly small appetizers. Drinks also took a very long time. I think they forgot because a second person asked about what we ordered and then our drinks came. The ambience and location is beautiful but it was very busy and we weren't helped much. For the price I expected better.

No one was at the check-in desk when we arrived, and we had waited for about five or so minutes before someone came out to check us in. But once we were inside, the staff was super helpful and kind. The drinks were strong and the food was delicious. I'll definitely make this a stop in Temecula if I ever wanted any other drinks aside from wine!

The Distillery had a charming, aesthetically pleasing atmosphere that made the whole visit enjoyable. The churro cheesecake was absolutely amazing—everyone needs to try it at least once! The drinks were well-crafted, and the staff was attentive and on point throughout the night. I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend for a relaxed night out with great desserts and drinks.

Amber is an absolute sweetheart, and makes a mean cock-tail! The food available from the Cave is also a must-try, particularly the Chimichurri Steak Fries! Great ambiance, but the prices continue to rise. I hope they don't price themselves out of business....

The drinks were great. Cooper was able to go off menu and make some great cocktails for us. The charcuterie board had some great cheeses and meats and was just perfect for two. It is a bit loud, so definitely not the place if you are looking for an intimate get together, but definitely a great time to have with friends. Even though it was very busy the servers and bartenders were very friendly and attentive to everyone. Definitely will be back.
