Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Fuhgeddaboudit! But my visit was so memorable that I will never forget about it!…read more Faith (owner) really has something special in Windomar, CA., just off of the Clinton Keith exit of Interstate 15. Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

Some things are regular, some things are not so regular…read more The patrons regular, the rest not so regular. I was here a few weeks ago and although I like the layout and look of the place, it was too busy to get a beer and a seat, 2 of my regular needs in a bar. Garth suggested I come back sometime and that Rod Run caught them off guard that day, so yesterday when my buddy suggested quail I said you bet! It was just like mama bears bed in goldilocks, just right. 2 seats at the bar, attentive bartender a serious beer cooler, taps so cool they have no names, and and ultra bright micro kitchen serving up some good looking grub perfect for this local just off Front street. I met Travis and of course we talked about Garth and how these two brilliant dudes put all this together. Exceptional venue and wether you plan to come just once or twice, or to be a cool regular like last night's crowd, just come.

But once you head downstairs, you will find a cozy dining area in the back with a cozy atmosphere. My friend and I chose the prix fixe menu with the restaurant's selected wine pairings, and it was an incredible experience. Gabriel, who took care of our table, explained every dish and wine pairing in detail, making the entire meal even more enjoyable. Every course was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. From the first bite to the final dessert, and every wine pairing in between, everything was outstanding. It was a memorable dining experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Temecula.

I recommend getting this since I like to have more savory items. For the tea, I chose the strawberry rhubarb. The afternoon tea comes with a three tiered pastry and tea sandwich tower. We got honey tea cake, mango yuzu cream puff, strawberries & chocolate shortbread cookie, savory herb scone, hokkaido cheese tart, assorted seasonal fruit, radish + herb cheese tea sandwich, curry chicken salad sandwich, egg salad tea sandwich and our choice of a large pot of tea. There were a few cute spots to take photos and some ladies even complimented me on my outfit! I also got a surprise birthday scoop of ice cream! It was definitely a great start of my day!

I loved the self-serve wine concept, it was so easy to sample different wines and choose exactly how much I wanted to pour. They had an impressive selection, and it made the experience feel relaxed and interactive. I ordered an appetizer and grabbed a seat by the window which ended up being the perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon. The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and beautifully decorated, and the employee working that day was incredibly sweet and welcoming. I also love that it's located in Old Town Temecula. The whole area is charming and perfect for strolling before or after a glass of wine. Overall, this was such a relaxing experience, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Temecula. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique wine tasting experience in a cute and comfortable setting!

Humble Somm is a welcome and long-overdue addition to Old Town Temecula. My wife and I had a…read morefantastic time from the moment we walked in -- the aesthetic is modern and chic, the kind of space that immediately sets the mood for a great evening. The self-serve wine bar is the star of the show. You load a card and use a tap system to pour by the taste, half glass, or full pour, making it incredibly easy to explore wines at your own pace without any pressure. The selection is extensive, with plenty of varietals to work through, and the staff is warm and attentive without being overbearing. Located just off Front Street and tucked toward the back of Old Town, it has a naturally intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date night or a low-key evening out. We haven't tried the food menu yet, but we're already looking forward to going back. If you want a great wine experience without driving out to the wineries, Humble Somm is exactly the answer. Highly recommend.

Most of the tables inside are falling apart, meaning that as soon as you put your hand on it, the whole table wobbles, and it's not just one. It's almost all of them with booths. Don't order steak, because there's no way you're gonna be able to cut it on those tables. Our server stated that the owner knows but simply doesn't care enough to fix them. Also, I mentioned in our Reservation Online that it was a birthday, not only did they not recognize it, they didn't offer Dessert, and didn't acknowledge the birthday even after we asked for a menu for dessert. Pretty disappointing. Lastly, I ordered a Philly sandwich, and the steak was so chewy, I couldn't eat it. I could have choked to death if I attempted to swallow it. Too bad, it used to be one of my favorites places, but I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon.

I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area.
