Our server, Andrea, is fantastic. She always delivers excellent service and is wonderfully attentive when explaining the menu and wines. Thanks to her, we joined the wine club--and we've been members for years! Every visit with her is consistently enjoyable, and she truly elevates the experience. read more

Our server, Andrea, was absolutely fabulous. She was attentive, friendly, and made our dinner with friends new to the Temecula area feel special. She also took the time to explain the wine club, and our guests are now considering a membership. Whenever we visit, we always try to sit in her section because she consistently delivers excellent service. We love the food, the wines, the service, and the beautiful ambience every time. read more

We made reservations for 3 @ 11:30am which was perfect timing on Saturday before it got crowded. We sat outside in the patio. We shared the empanadas which were delicious - 6 came in the order. Then an order of truffle fries which I believe we're the best I've had. Our server JT was very attentive and patient with us as we orders our drinks. 2 of us ordered the Strawberry Squeeze and absolutely loved it - it was so refreshing. For my meal I had the Mediterranean salad with chicken which was pretty goodz, nothing to rave about. The other 2 had the Steak frittes with side salads. and they raved about it. Since we were celebrating 2 birthdays, JT brought out comp churros which were pretty good as well. There was enough time to eat and enjoy ourselves before the next reservation at 2:30pm. Overall a nice experience. Thank you! read more

Before doing some wine tasting we shared a few plates for lunch. Although busy and without reservations we were seated at a table in the shade that had a decent view. Took some time before our server got our order. The shrimp was tasty but portions were small. Calamari was sparse as it was more the veggies than protein. Food could be better.

Good here is awesome! They don't have a huge menu but what I had Spicy Chicken sandwich was delicious! Generous portions and good flavor. Great staff and good drinks. The restaurant gets busy, I'd recommend making a reservation for best seating. Lots of great outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful weather and winery. read more

Tucked inside Altissima winery along the Portola wine trail, this is another good solid choice for a nice relaxing dining experience around Temecula area. Great food, drink and efficient yet friendly service, even for non-member. Short rib is super tender and delicious, comes with equally wonderful potato gratin as the perfect companion. The sea bass risotto is also a tasty creamy dish which is heartwarming on a chilly day in the wine country. read more

One of my favorite winery restaurants! Definitely make reservations since this winery is always busy and the food is made well with some more upscale options. The have ceviche which was done pretty well and the pastas here are delicious too! Hard to beat with a great wine selection too. The service can a bit delayed since it is busy most of the time but still very enjoyable! Great atmosphere with the vineyard outside too! read more

Came at 11:11 on a Tuesday, place was not busy when we came. Ordered sangrias and then our food. Service was crazy slow today. I've eaten here before and food service was better before. Once we got our food mine was totally cold including the fries. Ordered the chicken sandwich. Sent it back . Took just as long to get the new order. Was really disappointed with the taste of the sandwich as well. I ordered the truffle fries but my friend ordered regular, the regular fries are better read more

Gaspar's Restaurant / Altisima Winery is consistently a fantastic experience. The serving staff is exceptional - JT, Mike M, and Angeline are all wonderful (honestly not a bad one in the bunch). The outdoor patio is beautiful, with stunning rolling hill views and endless blue skies that make you want to linger for hours. Food is excellent across the board - the Spanish grilled cheese and truffle fries are perfect if you're feeling indulgent, while the braised beef with garlic mashed potatoes is incredibly satisfying. Pro tip: stop by the tasting room before eating. Jay and Ty, longtime wine servers at Altisima, make the experience especially fun and welcoming. read more

My folks are members at Altisima, and they kindly made lunch reservations for us on Sunday at 2pm. I'd gotten us tickets to see the 4pm showing of Cirque Ma'Ceo at Galway Downs, and since Gaspar's is only only a few miles from that venue, it was the perfect setting for a pre-show meal. The one indoor table that they offered us was practically in the entrance, and right next to several large parties that were celebrating loudly. My parents wouldn't have been able to hear & converse comfortably in that location, and so we waited for a table on the outside covered patio. A table on the patio opened up about 10 minutes later, and Liz, a very bubbly and helpful server, was bringing our drinks over just minutes after we ordered them. I really appreciated when she was super patient when listening to my dad's many questions about the menu. She took our order, and about ten minutes later, our entrees were presented to us. My dad's grilled cheese with crispy truffle steak fries was hearty and delicious. Usually, steak fries are not my favorite, but these were perfectly cooked and the truffle seasoning was on point. Mom's Burrata salad was fresh and the figs and burrata complemented the greens. It was lightly dressed and an ample portion. My Sea Bass was throughly cooked, but was unseasoned and somewhat bland. The saffron risotto was lukewarm and a bit clumpy. It did not have the smooth consistency of other risotto I've tried. I'm not sure if it was arborio rice either which is the optimal rice for a risotto dish. For a pricey entree, I would've liked the flavors to really pop. The Sauv Blanc and Peach Mint Sangria went with our meals nicely. Verdict: The setting on the patio was quite busy, even later in the afternoon on a Sunday. The view from the patio of the mountains to the East is really quite lovely, and the restaurant and winery are modern and welcoming. There is plenty of parking on the property, and it is definitely worth a visit! (When I return, I would not get the Sea Bass again though, I'd probably get the grilled cheese with truffle fries! :) ) read more

We recently joined the wine club here, so we decoded to come try the restaurant on our second visit. The service and views were all great! We shared the spicy chicken sandwich, which was a generous size. We got truffle fries as our side which were very tasty. For drinks, the Peach Mint sangria was delicious!! I also tried the Ginger Sangria which reminded me a lot of a classic mule. If you come on the weekend, I recommend a reservation as it got pretty busy. read more

Our bed and breakfast hotel recommended Altísima for their frozen margaritas, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did. It is a gorgeous winery with panoramic views. We went on a Friday afternoon and started with a tasting. Afterward, we decided to grab a table for lunch before heading to another winery. Dalton sat us and was super friendly. He answered all my questions about the atmosphere and frozen margaritas. Our server, Ally, was sweet and attentive. We ordered the Altísima burger with truffle fries (I devoured it before I thought about taking a picture). It was so good, I was craving it the next day! For dessert, we ordered the sticky toffee cake, which was good as well. We had to try their frozen margaritas as it came highly recommended, and honestly, they were the highlight. It was refreshing and something different from our traditional wines we ordered. After lunch, we lounged in the chairs outside, soaking up the sun, the views, and the live music. Gaspar's ended up being our favorite restaurant of the trip, and Altísima was our favorite winery. We will definitely be back! read more

Had the ALTISIMA BURGER at Gaspar's (inside Altísima Winery) and it did not disappoint. Juicy short rib & chuck blend, Havarti, caramelized onions, fried egg, jalapeños, and their signature sauce on a toasted brioche bun -- every bite was packed with flavor. Paired it with their Sangiovese and it was a perfect match. Who says you can't have red wine with a burger? The atmosphere is modern, relaxed, and surrounded by vineyard views. Great service, too. A must-visit if you're in Temecula. read more

Beautiful Friday afternoon at Gaspar's and everything was fantastic from start to finish. We came in without reservations and were seated quickly, which was such a great start to the afternoon. Our server JT was absolutely wonderful -- super friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. JT guided us through wine selections, cocktails, and lunch ideas for the table, and every recommendation was spot on. The lunch was perfectly paced, relaxed, and exactly the kind of experience you hope for on a Friday afternoon. JT really made the experience stand out with thoughtful service and great attention to detail. We had such a nice time and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend asking for JT! read more

If you're lucky enough to get JT as your server at Altisima Winery, you're in for an amazing experience. He truly goes above and beyond every single time. What stands out most is how patient and attentive he is. You never feel rushed, he genuinely listens, communicates so well, and always gives thoughtful recommendations that end up being spot on. JT has this natural charisma that makes the entire experience feel warm, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. He really knows how to take care of his guests and make people feel welcomed and valued. Honestly, his level of customer service is rare these days, and it's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I already know the experience and the delicious food will be exceptional. One of the best servers I've ever had, without question. Altisima is lucky to have him. read more

We love Altisima and the beautiful views. JT was great and very attentive. Much appreciated. Thank you

The food, especially the service, was amazing! We came here to celebrate my sister and brother-in-law's wedding anniversary, and good thing we made reservations because it was a full house. JT was our server, and he went above and beyond! He was extremely attentive and made sure that our group was well taken care of. The food came out quicker than we anticipated for a large party, but the food was fresh, hot, and nicely plated. The octopus could have been prepared better, it was a little tough to our liking, but overall we would come back here again. The churros were phenomenal (JT gave us 2 plates of it in celebration of the anniversary) and was a great way to close out our meal. read more

Very cute lunch spot with a view! Our server JT was great, and the food was good too. We just got through a few appetizers between my mom and I before we got full because the portions were huge. read more

Fantastic couple's dinner spot. Exactly what I pictured. They have a medium-large patio on a hill with a 180-degree view of the hills and vineyards. Incredible scenery especially as the sun was setting. Service was excellent and professional. Food was excellent as well. You really can't go wrong here, great vibe, smiles all around. read more

We have been members since just after they opened, so we come here a lot, but this last weekend was even more exceptional than usual. We brought a group of 10 (5 couples) for lunch at Gaspar's. The food and drinks were amazing as usual, especially the Catalan shrimp appetizer. The best part was the outstanding service provided by our server, JT. He made things super easy, and gave just the right amount of service. It's an art when a server strikes that perfect balance between not interrupting too much and not checking up on you enough. JT gave us our space, but was always there at the right times for refills, additional drinks, and then the check. He even took our group photo. He's a real pro, and our group was impressed with our experience. read more

I came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my best friend, and we seriously had the best time ever! The whole staff was so sweet and welcoming, but Jo (with no E!) totally stole the show. He was funny, super attentive, and just had the best energy the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about making people's day. What really got me was the attention to detail -- he even surprised me with churros at the end with a pink candle and sang happy birthday! It was such a small thing but honestly made my day. Everything from start to finish felt so thoughtful and fun. Huge thank you to Jo and the whole crew for making my birthday feel extra special. 10/10 -- can't wait to come back! read more

The waiter told us the calamari was frozen..the service is terrible now. Im not sure what happened but it was embarrassing to bring my in laws here. Hostess always asks if we are members, which is uninviting. We are not members, but we have dined here atleast five times and live down the street. Disappointing.
