    First time here in over 7 years. Nichole our waitress was great. She provided excellent service. This location is clean and well ran. The food was very flavorful. I will definitely return months location.

    I miss having an Islands Restaurant in Vegas, so when the chance came to eat here, I took it. My hubby, brother, and I had just completed the Temecula Half Marathon and what better way to celebrate than with a big burger. We were seated immediately, which was great since our legs were screaming. Ashley was our server and she was attentive throughout our stay, making sure our drinks were topped up and we had everything we needed. My husband was happy since they were showing the 49er game and there are multiple screens throughout the restaurant so you can watch all the different games in action while you eat. I went with my favorite Hula Burger with sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, with onion rings for my side. This really hit the spot after running up and down the hills of the vineyards. I'm so glad that there is an Islands in Temecula so I can get my fix whenever I'm in town.

    I've been here before and the service has been great each time. The beer choices were quality. The setting is lively but not overly loud. Sports were playing on many TVs so you can see no matter where you're sitting. I was also able to customize my burger. The onion rings were huge but lacked flavor. They cook burgers to whatever temp you like. Great for a group and the food was actually pretty good. I got the Kilauea burger which was well seasoned and juicy. This place deserves a stop. Check them out and vibe out.

    I have eaten at Island many times and never had a bad meal. I owe them this review, so here we go. Seated fast and with a friendly smile, first A +. This is always the case so we can see this is a consistent MO for this place. That comes down to training and culture, excellence! The food is also full of fresh ingredients and put together with care, the first anyone can manage, the second really takes pride in your work to manage. The service on this particular visit was great but I have never had bad service here and so again, training and culture. Island holds itself to a high standard and that makes it the type of place you can visit again and again without a fail. Thanks Island staff, you got this!

    1909 is hands down one of our absolute favorite places in Old Town Temecula. Every single time we…read morecome here, we leave impressed. The menu is incredibly unique and eclectic, and honestly, I have never ordered something I didn't love. Everything is consistently SO good. Whether you're coming for brunch, dinner, appetizers, or drinks, there are so many creative options that make you want to keep coming back just to try something new. The drink menu is equally amazing. They always have such fun specialty cocktails and themed drinks, and I absolutely love how they do pop-up events and themed nights where they completely change up the menu to match the occasion. It makes every visit feel different and exciting, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into creating a fun experience for their guests. Whenever we have friends or family visiting from out of town, this is one of the first places we bring them because it never disappoints. Everyone is always blown away by the atmosphere, the food, and the overall vibe. It somehow manages to be the perfect spot for literally any occasion, whether you're celebrating a bachelorette party, grabbing drinks with friends, having date night, or bringing the whole family with young kids. It's energetic and fun without feeling overwhelming, and it really has something for everyone any day of the week. One of the biggest reasons we continue coming back is the staff and management team. Their customer service is genuinely outstanding. They are always incredibly accommodating, quick to respond for reservations or special requests, and they truly go above and beyond to make things happen for their guests. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience and that level of hospitality is hard to find these days. 1909 absolutely deserves all the hype. Amazing food, fun drinks, incredible atmosphere, and exceptional service every single time. Highly recommend!

At first we…read morecouldn't decide whether we wanted to sit inside which was open air or patio and slightly covered. The hostess at the stand looked a tad annoyed....I guess it was a little extra work for them. Eh. The night we came, the restaurant was playing some good jams..our waiter had excellent table service! He sold us on the appetizers. I read some reviews on options and chose the pesto pasta dish... I give it 6/10. If you don't like anything spicy, watch out for this dish. There's red pepper flakes in it. I didn't read it was slightly spicy, otherwise would have done without it. The chicken was the best thing from that dish. My husband enjoyed his bread-less burger! Ginger ale taste good with anything! We even got the special water from the springs.. Bathrooms are super tight! Why do they make bathroom doors to open inward?'!! I guess since it's a right squeeze don't want it to hit someone coming out. Btw this is a favorite spot for the locals! It got super busy after 6pm!

We also ordered the Jalapeños Burger with a side of fries. Both burgers tasted great. They were cooked perfectly and the juices were running down our hands. The fries were nice, thick steak fries. Served piping hot. They were even better with the cajun spice. The cajun spice Reminded me of Five guys Cajun fries seasoning. There is also a condiments caddy with mayo, mustard, ketchup, Ranch dressing and what tasted a little like comeback sauce. Also available were Tapatio, Cholula and Tabasco. The place is loud, but to be expected with all of the different t.v.s showing a multitude of sports. Every table had its own t.v., so you can choose what to watch. It was nice and clean inside and plenty of parking available., though I imagine that changes if you visit later in the day.

The burgers were good but the steak fries were underwhelming. All 3 of us left at least half our fries which tells you something. Anyway...it's a very specific vibe for a select few in my opinion.
