    Eat- this is the place!
    Brent M.

    Well, let me first state by saying that I haven't had a meal there yet. I went to check it out but I had just eaten so I had a beer. I met one of the owners and he was very charming and we had a nice chat and he handed me a discount coupon for a free appetizer or something for my return which is a clever move. It's a refreshing nicely curated interior, unseen in the Menifee area. This brings a little "elevated" sophistication to retirement central! A ray of SUN in the CITY one might say. Applebee's regulars be prepared for a new experience that might shock you if you can take the leap. The lovely plated dishes coming out of that kitchen were top-notch architectural masterpieces. I will have to return soon, but I'm vegetarian so I might have some limitation, but we'll see. Maybe they'll whip something up? The interior is trying to be real hip and it sort of works in a positive way but a little bit of that modern gauche. You know, kind of like Z gallery meets mid-century with a slight Lichtenstein tribute with a cartoonish flavour. It does work though, and carries to the exterior or the exterior carries to the interior? With the limitations of a strip mall it's a little bit hard to put lipstick on a pig. But they've executed it well and it's inviting and a departure from the norm. I'm excited to get there soon.

    Rosie asked us to try her Vegan menu she was developing as there are patrons asking for Bistro Vegan meals. We first tried the Watermelon salad that was delicious. Next, she brought out a a Fajita dish with rice, refried beans and tortillas. You would never know there wasn't meat involved! Absolutely divine! Finally, for the last plate came an Asian Noodle Salad that just blew our doors off! That dish should be on her main menu! Such an inviting, delicious dish with umami flavors that hit every part of your palette. She had a guitarist playing soft music and the Bistro was packed! This is a place to try!

    We came on Valentines night without reservations. We had to wait but not very long. They managed to squeeze us in. There is very limited seating and you are close to your neighbors. It really does not matter. The menu is big and we could not choose so we picked several items to share. Service was great! Chef even came out and chatted with everyone. There was an issue At the kitchen so we had to wait for our food. They comp our dessert. Everything we ate was very good. I can tell they have regular customers and now I know why. Will be back here again!

    The service and food here are phenomenal! We have had: chicken and waffles, barbacoa benedicts, short rib, empanadas, elote, plantains, and the chicken and sun dried tomato cream pasta (it's their best seller but I forget the name!). I love how the staff is all very well educated on the menu and we have seen Chris, either the owner and/or manager, every time we go. And he is equally delightful and helpful! The decor is really fun, too! Don't sleep on the toffee bundt cake. It's so delicious!

    This place is a hidden gem! We were in Menifee and needed some food. This place was rated very well so far, so we gave it a try. So glad we did. It's so cute inside with cool colors and designs with artistic murals. It is pretty small so if you get here when it's busy, might have to wait a little bit. SERVICE: We were greeted nicely when we entered and were seated quickly. Our server was very nice and checked on us often. FOOD: Very tasty. They have a great selection of food and they serve breakfast all-day! I had the chicken Sammy myself and it was super crispy and tender - YUM! My son tried the Barbacoa Benedict and it was also a hit! Some other pictures below - but recommend this place!!

    Walking into this restaurant, it feels small, yet cozy and very cute. The staff were very friendly, and the food was yummy! Especially the gnocchi pasta. I think the chilaquiles were okay, but overall a very good experience and can't wait to try more from the menu :)

    Salmon Fish Tacos

    3 of us stopped in for dinner for the first time here and it was packed. We didn't know reservations are a must, otherwise you'll wait at the front door like we did for a little while. There was live music at the time and the gal was pretty good jamming to some of our favorite 80's songs. The dining area is not very big but spacious enough to get comfortable. There was wine bottles on display, a bar at the entrance with no stools and probably because they opted for dining tables and chairs right out front. The staff were busy and it did take a little while to get our drink orders in and then waited a bit for food, but again it was a busy Friday night and the place was packed! So the wait was expected. Drinks were good. I had a Cadillac margarita and Michaelada's for the other two. Fish and chips had large portions of cod and it wasn't very tasty but the chips and salsa were made fresh and that was my favorite. Chicken Relleno wasn't very tasty. We figured we should've opted for the pasta as we looked around and saw many orders of pasta passing us by. Next time, for sure!! But I did enjoy the Salmon fish tacos and they were tasty!! Shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and beans and rice were great! There were chunks of salmon stuffed in the mix and it was filling. I would definitely stop by again to try their pastas!

    Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 Lady R Bistro is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall -- you might even drive past it -- but once you step inside, it's such a pleasant surprise! The place is colorful, full of personality, and has all the good vibes. The service was excellent -- Chris (who I believe is one of the owners) took care of us and was so friendly and attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and love what they do. We ordered two burgers with fries, and both were super tasty and cooked perfectly. We also tried two cocktails which were incredibly good! We finished off with a warm dessert that was the perfect ending to our meal. Overall, this spot checks all the boxes -- great food, fun ambience, and outstanding service. I'd definitely return for the food, vibes, and hospitality. If you're in the area, definitely check it out!

The flavors were so good together and the polenta was yummy. I had the lobster BLT, which is a cold sandwich. That was absolutely amazing. Perfect mix of tangy and savory. The fries were so good as well. My boyfriend got the backyard Barbecue platter. Which is on their special menu that is only seasonal. He truly enjoyed his food and the ribs were so tender, this specific food option had a lot on the plate and will definitely get you very full and could even possibly share. Our server was Makenzie, she had such great service and is very kind and accommodating. Our waters were never empty or even pass the halfway point because she was so on top of checking on us and making sure everything was good. I highly recommend this local spot in Menifee, will return!!!

    A $25 cake-cutting fee shouldn't have overshadowed our son's birthday, but the way it was handled…read moredid. We've been coming here for years. It has been our go-to steakhouse, and we've even celebrated our anniversary here. We love the food, which makes what happened during our son's birthday dinner especially disappointing. After an excellent steak dinner that cost approximately $330, we brought out a small, pre-sliced ice cream Polar Pizza for our son's birthday. I began serving it myself because it was already sliced. The waitress then came over and, in a confrontational manner, announced that we would be charged a $25 cake-cutting fee. The fee may have previously been mentioned to my wife, but I was not aware of it when I began serving the cake. I understand that restaurants have policies, and a calm explanation would have been enough. Instead, the situation was turned into an unnecessary scene during our son's birthday celebration. Then another large male employee came over, stepped directly into my personal space, and angrily asked, "Would you bring beer into a bar?" He got right in my face without first asking what had happened or allowing me to explain. His tone and decision to get that close were aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. We ultimately paid the $25 fee even though the staff did not cut, plate, or serve the cake. The fee was frustrating, but the confrontational way the employees handled the situation was far worse. Families considering celebrating a child's birthday here should confirm every outside dessert policy beforehand. In our case, what should have been a joyful moment for our son became an upsetting experience. It did not leave us feeling as though families celebrating with children were welcomed or valued. A simple and respectful conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, their response changed the entire mood and ruined what should have been a special ending to our son's birthday dinner. The food may still be excellent, but a restaurant is remembered for more than its steaks. After years of loyalty, the aggressive and disrespectful way this was handled during our son's birthday has cost them our business. We will not be returning.

The bartenders are awesome and really know how to work the crowd and nice people. I've also met some cool customers as well so I dig the place. There's a good band on Friday nights that does cover rock 'n' roll and they're quite good. I wish they serve their food from the restaurant they own next-door because there's more vegetarian options it is a cool place but I just wish they had more diversity in the beer they serve and maybe once in a while lower price points which I guess happens during happy hour. But, like I said, at the beginning, the staff is awesome and enjoyable to talk to. So, that makes frequent visits welcoming.

The onion rings were great! I probably won't ordered the burger again as I didn't think the price point matched the burger. But over all, not bad. Soft music played in the background and of course the Fever won the game, which was a good time at Septembers!

Today was the World Cup coverage (yawn) in this case they tied but they held a tiebreaker and Paraguay beat Germany. I think I would prefer "PICKLE BALL" coverage. I was there with three friends from my neighborhood for "HAPPY HOUR" which is a really good value. And, even a better value because we had gift cards to cover the visit! Wild Herd Kölsch: This exclusive beer, brewed by Goose Island, $4.00 served in a huge glass! Standard Happy Hour: Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Select domestic pints, craft drafts, and well drinks are typically discounted. Late-Night Menu: Available every day starting at 9:00 PM until closing. Select B-Dubs snacks and beverages are priced at $4 each. Today as one of the appetizers we shared some really excellent onion rings that were not greasy nor overcooked. In fact, cooked to perfection and delicious. They are thick-cut, beer-battered onion rings with a side of B-Dubs signature dipping sauce (also known as Southwestern Ranch). This creamy sauce features a Southwestern or chipotle-style kick that complements the sweet, crisp beer batter. My friends also enjoyed this appetizer: "Buffalo Chicken Dip" made with shredded chicken, original buffalo cheese sauce, cheddar-jack cheese, bacon crumbles, ranch dressing, pickled hot peppers, and green onions. It is served hot with house-made tortilla chips and celery sticks. This is a really terrific spot over off of Haun Road and Newport near the 215 in Menifee. We sat at a table near the bar and the front door, so the charming efficient bartender had to jump on the other side and take our order cause that's her section in addition to serving the folks at the barstools.

    Yesterday, my husband picked up an order of wings for us from the Menifee location. After eating…read moreone wing, I found a long, dark blue hair in my food. It was absolutely disgusting, and I immediately threw away the rest of my meal because I no longer felt comfortable eating any of it. I tried calling the store more than 10 times before someone finally answered. After explaining what happened, I was transferred to the kitchen manager. His response was, "Fosho, I'll put your name on a list and you'll get 10 wings on the house." How is that "on the house" when I had already paid for a meal that I had to throw away because of a food safety issue? There wasn't even a sincere apology or any acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. This isn't an isolated issue. My family usually drives to the Murrieta location because we've consistently had poor experiences at the Menifee location. Orders are often incorrect, wait times are much longer than expected, and the restaurant always seems understaffed. I also contacted corporate to report the food safety issue. They assured me they take these complaints very seriously, but they offered no resolution. I asked for a refund or even a gift card so I could visit a different location, and I was told they couldn't do either and that the franchise owner would contact me. It's hard to believe these issues are taken seriously when customers are left without a meaningful solution. Based on my experience, this location has ongoing issues with food safety, customer service, and management. The work culture needs serious improvement through better employee training, stronger leadership, and higher standards for sanitation and customer care. The way this restaurant is being run is unacceptable, and until management takes real accountability instead of offering generic responses, I don't expect these issues to improve. Customers deserve safe food, respectful service, and management that stands behind its business when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, this experience and the way it was handled by both the store and corporate fell far below that standard. UPDATE: I received a voicemail from Reese after 6 p.m. Thursday four business days after reporting a hair in my food. Corporate told me the franchise owner would contact me, but after waiting that long, I had already handled the situation myself and disputed the transaction. I never even spoke with Reese. The lack of urgency over a serious food-safety complaint says enough. After seeing the ongoing negative reviews about this Menifee location, it's clear my experience isn't isolated. Customers deserve safe food, accountability, and timely customer service not generic apologies and four-day delays. I will not be returning to this location. Management needs to do better.
