Dining room is an elegant space. Great brunch and very convenient for hotel guests. Our server Cindy was knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Very cheerful and very well versed in other aspects of the Ponte Inn and adjoining Ponte Winery. We enjoyed a beautiful beet salad and Angus beef burger. Both delicious. Afterwards we did a little scouting around the Inn for a planned staycation next month. Everywhere we went we were greeted politely by staff and asked if we could be helped in any way. We are members of the winery but not familiar with the Inn. Only wish they were open later, but they do have a cocktail bar downstairs with lite bites for evening visitors. Looking forward to our stay.

Every time I’m choosing to stay in Temecula Wine Country, I stay at the Ponte Vineyard Inn. The hotel is beautiful, the views are spectacular, the pool atmosphere is fun and the views from the pool are amazing. The bouquet restaurant is really good, with great food choices and the cellar bar is awesome…great drinks and food and fun entertainment. The rooms are spacious and the beds are incredibly comfortable. 5 stars ⭐️

Had a wonderful experience dining at the Bouquet Restaurant at the Ponte Vinyard Inn. From the moment we entered the restaurant, the service was great. Our meal was fabulous! Wish it was opened during the week. Maybe they could add Thursdays to their schedule. Will return to dine again soon.

Stayed/enjoyed Ponte Inn many times and the Bouquet Restaurant is always a standout! Ambience – delightful surroundings, wonderfully relaxing view are always front and center. The staff is always super attentive, warm and helpful – always thoughtful...no need to mention turning on a heater...dropping the long shades to block the morning sun – they are on top of it. The coffee press is off the chart, Avocado Toast, with the Arugula salad – toss on the scrambled egg and feta – just to die for. The initial muffins are wonderful. Quality is outstanding – never a rush – always a delight – is tops on our list in the area. Love this Ponte Inn as well...more a boutique Inn as opposed to the noisy, busy inns – we always look forward to staying here – dining here and enjoying the quiet and space. Is our go to for the area. Always!

Came to celebrate my wife birthday with a little wine tasting then decided to make reservations for the Bouquet restaurant. The hostess was nice and welcoming. We chose to sit outdoors our server Cindy was attentive and super nice she even brought my wife a strawberry sherbet with a candle it was delicious. All the food was delicious. We had the cheese & meat charcuterie which was enough for us both. We also had the calamari which was also delicious and well seasoned and a chicken ceasar salad which was good as well. All in all it was a good experience. Will return next time.

We love having brunch here on the weekends. Love music, beautiful scenery. Plenty of typical fare (eggs, bacon, omelets, Benedict) and some unique stuff, too. It'sa sleepy vacation spot, so don't expect anything in a rush, but all of the staff are incredibly kind.

Great service, amazing food. The scallops was the special for the night and they were rich but amazing!! Cauliflower soup was excellent as was the best salad. Server was incredible.

The wait and service were terrible, we had to wait over 45 minutes for our breakfast and to top it off three tables that arrived after us and ordered after us got there food first. It was just me and my wife, we love to go and have a nice breakfast and love to visit many of the wine vineyards around the area and have had an amazing experience till we visited your location. I hope this helps to improve the experience for other guest.

Filet mignon was amazing - tender and cooked to perfection. Great service and cozy indoor atmosphere. It was too cool to sit outside. Highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion.

The service is amazing. All the servers hustle and can't do enough for you. The food is delicious! The braised short ribs were amazing. The meat fell off the bone and the gravy over the polenta was so good!
It was better than expected! I went with my husband, toddler and baby and was so pleasant to not be in a loud restaurant and overcrowded. There was live music but it wasn't loud, you could still hear nature around you, my son was trying to spot a bird singing very differently to what we normally hear haha. I ordered Huevos Rancheros and the salsa was delicious! Portions were just right, leaving room for us to still try the charcuterie board. We had a great experience and we will definitely come back!
It's so beautiful! You are surrounded by nature and some mellow live music. Great place to enjoy a girls brunch, a cute date and just enjoy the day ! Definitely coming here again

I was disappointed to see that my favorite steak sandwich had been taken off the menu. I ordered a burger without cheese, it came with cheese and missing the pickled onions and overcooked. I had to ask for our server because never came back around to check on us. He put in another order for the burger and it came back with cheese again. By that time everyone had finished their meal so we opted to leave. Very disappointing to say the least. We have enjoyed your Bouquet restaurant but have had some other issues of late. I sorry for that because we live only a few minutes from your Inn and have enjoyed it, but something has changed and we probably won't return. Kary Jensen

Air conditioning was not working on a hot July night. Menu was so limited, that my guests and I decided to go dine at the restaurant connected to the tasting room. Food and service at the tasting room restaurant was spot-on, but there was no manager on duty or accessible to handle an issue with the bill. Suggest that you call before going to make sure there is 1)air conditioning and 2)a manager on duty in case there is a problem.

This was one of the worst expirences I have had in a long time. They sent us several texts about making the reservation, but they couldn't bother to let us know that the AC had gone out. The server made a big deal about having to get one of the wines from downstairs. The red wine that we did end up with was hot and had to put a ton of ice in just to make it drinkable.
