    Grilled Tuscan Chicken Sandwich
    Marissa D.

    Not worth your time. Only option within the Pala Mesa Resort, so it's not like you'd have much of a choice if you're here golfing or staying at the hotel. Ordered our food and it took almost 40 minutes to arrive, even though there was quite literally 5 other people sitting down here. The food wasn't bad but nothing special. We ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH, CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH, & PRIME RIB DIP SANDWICH.

    Decent place to stay if having a wedding in fallbrook like what we did. Frequented the restaurant often for breakfast lunch and dinner. I liked the steak and eggs even though the steak was much smaller the second day. Happy hour had good deals and the service was solid. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here but a great option for staying at the resort

    Avocado Toast
    Thea M.

    I would much rather golf than eat here. Disappointed that my avocado toast did not use fresh cut avocado, more of a paste. The pickled radish tasted old and the bread was not even toasted. I asked for the egg and feta on the side. I do not recommend the avo toast. The service was pretty slow for early Saturday morning, but the views of the golf course are nice.

    Terrible! The champagne was flat, and turned into vinagar taste. They replalced with a new one and better. However, the kobe hamburger was cold and completely RAW! Waitress returned 45 minutes later after others had already eaten. The fries were so salty that it was clear there must have been an accidental pour. The manager sat at a table and drank three wines, and two of the waitresses stood in front of our table dancing, preventing us from watching the concert. The kicker, they charged us for full price for a meal that was absolutely inedible. Yep, $60.00, for that lovely experience and pray I dont get sick. On a good note, it was Holloween, and the band was absolutely incredible! ​​

    Dined here on 12/15 at 4pm. Nice ambiance. Female could have been a little more outgoing and not so shy. You could tell she just wanted to take the order and go. She seemed nervous. Baked avocado was ok. I wanted to try it because it seemed interesting and different, but I would not order it again. There was nothing that wowed me with the flavor. The rest of the food was good and tasty. Brussel sprouts are delicious.

    Inside the restaurant

    The restaurant is inside the hotel in the Golf course. The view is beautiful. If you want to relax and have drinks with friends this is a nice place. The alcohol drinks are great. The bar tender makes them strong. The food I do not recommend. We waited around 30-40 mins to get our food. The food had no flavor. Recommend this place only for Drinking and golfing but not for food.

    I planned our 20th anniversary party at Aquaterra and it was a luncheon. We had seven people and it was a beautiful setup, we sat outside overlooking the golf course, they have a new menu. I wouldn't say a lot of new items but they have a new menu. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and that was very good, but this review is about the server. Matthew. Matthew had just started a week ago and he was spot on. He was attentive, he was friendly, he was very polite, he served the food in a timely manner. He had a personality and a sense of humor. He's going to be a great waiter.

    Spaghetti Squash with pancetta, pomegranate seeds, and balsamic reduction. A must!
    Phifer C.

    I was hesitant because of the recent reviews, but since we were staying at the hotel, and it was raining, we thought we'd try it. LOVED IT! Everything was delicious - squash, steak, drinks, and BRUSSELS (and I'm a connoisseur!). I never leave reviews but felt compelled to. Monica, our sever, is a jewel. Several regulars came to say hello to her while we were eating.

    We love Aquaterra Restaurant! We come here every time we are in town! This is our second time we have Andi. She is over the top with attentiveness, kindness and the food is always fabulous!

They're the best with rich, complimentary flavors in each dish! Our server was great! Very pleasant! I love the ambiance at this particular winery because the views are gorgeous! There are multiple seating areas - the main veranda, an extended seating area directly to the side of the main deck (veranda), and cabana seating (deposit required). The way the veranda is framed with greenery looking out at the hills is stunning. Miramonte is still one of my favorite places in Temecula Wine Country!

    Not sure how to feel about this winery, but after the second winery we visited after Miramonte, I…read moreprobably would not visit Miramonte again. I decided to do a wine tasting for my birthday with 2 other guests and drove from LA to Temecula on a Sunday. Arriving to the estate was easy, there's plenty of free parking spots surrounding the winery. It's quite an uphill stroll and some stairs are involved, but you definitely get a workout in. They have a covered patio area of tables that are either reserved or you put your name down to get a table on the left side of the winery, the middle/terrace area is usually used for private parties/events such as a bridal shower or birthday party, where there are 2 outside bars and sometimes they offer live music, the back area of the estate has a grassy area with small vendors selling jewelry and such with picnic style tables (no shade or cover), a gazebo of seating facing in my opinion, the best part of the view, and a separate location for wine club members. The inside is where you do the actual wine tasting experience, and has high bar stool tables and chairs for seating as well. Stepping up to the hostess desk, a man who worked there greeted us and very quickly told us what they offer and then walked away (had nothing to do with the check in desk area, so it was a little confusing). The hostesses had the same spiel to give, and I had mentioned it was our first time and we had absolutely no idea how to even begin a wine tasting experience. The explanations were rushed and basically told us to figure it out. We walked away towards the inside/outside terrace of the winery and were stuck walking around for 5 minutes not knowing where to go. We stopped by one of the outside bars and asked for help, the bartender told us we could start our wine tasting experience inside. Now was that so hard to help us navigate where we're supposed to go and what we're supposed to do? Not everything should be explained on a script, most of the time hospitality and customer service goes a longer distance than formalities. We finally get inside and the women working the front for the tastings were really impersonal and standoffish. We finally start getting a tasting experience going, asked for recommendations and none were received or explained so we just picked random options and had them pour. Throughout the 6 tastings we had, each pour was a different amount, if the bottle they were using was running low, they would pour the last bits of it (barely 2 sips), and hand it over, vs a bottle that was more than full, would get a nice even tasting pour. We eventually wanted to order food, and before we even started the tasting, we asked for a table and the hostess told us it would be over an hour wait. We put our names down, they called us in the middle of our 2/6 tasting, which was less than 20 min. So we went to our table and kept having to go back inside one by one to taste our different wines, as we were at a table now and not just doing the tasting experience inside. Food was great, service at the table was also great. Afterwards we left our table and walked towards the gazebo area and sat down by the view. The most enjoyable part of our day just taking in the atmosphere. On our way out, we wanted to experience a different viewpoint which was the bar area with the stools next to the tables of the "reserved/name down" area. I very nicely asked the hostess if we could sit in the empty seats for just a second to finish our last tasting and take in the view, she told us no those are reserved areas and not just open for anyone to sit at as they please. "Sorryyyy those are reserved spaces" with a smile that was clearly not genuine. We understood, dropped our wine glasses off at the bar, and proceeded to our next destination. All in all, the service here was not great. The entire experience felt absolutely rushed, it was not focused on the wine tasting experience at all, they are more focused on selling tables and getting you to order food. There was no explanations on a quick backstory of the wines we were interested in trying, it was just like "which one do you want" "*point*" poured it, and just told us to enjoy. I didn't enjoy my time here at all, and I won't be back to visit, as there are many many other lowkey wineries that are not as highly reviewed or popular as this one, and they are a much better experience.

On previous visits, I've often ordered the family-style meals for pickup and have always been impressed by the quality, freshness, and value. The food has consistently tasted freshly prepared, with well-balanced flavors and generous portions at a fair price. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was a significant disappointment. Because my past orders had been so consistently good, this visit fell far short of the standard I've come to expect.This time, it was not very good. The whole pan of chicken and pasta looked like it was old and reheated. The sides of the pan were crusty with red sauce. The pasta was way overcooked. The chicken was dry. I asked for no red sauce on the pasta, and they said I couldn't modify anything on the family meal. Weird, considering I was saving them food cost by eliminating the red sauce. I am sad to see this place loose its grove. I might not be back.
