    Employees laughing at customers.
    Yuri P.

    Absolutely disgusting service. I hope no one ever has an accident at this place because the employees will make sure to humiliate you. My 16-year-old son was about to sit down in a chair when it suddenly broke. He fell and was obviously embarrassed, but he tried to play it off like he was okay. We sat down at our table and tried not to make a big deal out of it. However, we soon noticed two employees looking directly at my son while laughing. My husband asked one of the employees if he really found the situation funny and how could he find it amusing to make fun of a minor. Instead of apologizing, they continued smirking. My older son then spoke up and told the employee, "You know exactly what you're doing with those smirks." The employee responded by telling my son, "Shut up and mind your business." At that point, we decided to leave because we no longer felt comfortable eating food prepared by employees who treated customers this way. As we were leaving, I took out my phone to take a picture of the employee so I could include it with my review. A female employee grabbed my arm and told me not to do that. I told her not to put her hands on me and that I had every right to take photos for my review based on the terrible service we had received. Her response was simply, "Oh," and she began posing for the camera as if the entire situation was amusing. I sincerely hope the owner addresses this incident and provides proper training to the staff. No customer should be mocked after an accident, especially a teenager who was already embarrassed. My son is such a sweet kid, and he did not deserve to be treated this way.

    Located at the edge of Old Town Temecula so parking is easier than deeper into the Main Street. Beautiful interior and aesthetic. High quality food and drinks, I have been wanting to come here for years and was impressed. The waiter was super knowledgeable. They have a completely separate area for their GF pizzas, which put my husband w celiac at ease. We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was quite busy but we were able to sit at the "bar" right away. I had the orange blossom mocktail which was herbal and light and delicious. We ordered the GF jalapeño lime carnitas pizza, and it was soo good. Really great combination of curated ingredients. I definitely want to try more of their unique pizzas.

    Summer in Italy pizza
    Jaclyn T.

    Check in on Yelp before you arrive for less wait time! Visiting from out of town we came to celebrate my birthday. This place is definitely worth a stop. You have to order the Goat & Vine salad and Summer in Italy pizza. The salad with champagne vinaigrette, strawberries, and tomatoes was so fresh, refreshing, and perfect for summer. The new seasonal Summer in Italy pizza with prosciutto, and it was delicious. We also had the seasonal watermelon sangria, which was served with a slice of fresh watermelon. The decor is so cute and makes the whole place feel fun and inviting. Romy was a great server and even had adorable watermelon earrings that matched the summer vibe. They also have nice, clean bathrooms nearby. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

    Chicken salad
    Ascencia S.

    Nice, classy restaurant with plenty of seating. Our server, Cyrus, was very attentive. He checked in with us in the right amount of frequency such that it was not intrusive of our conversation. Hubby ordered the chicken salad (small) and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. The salad was pretty hefty so we were able to share it. The sandwich was thick and had a generous amount of chicken salad filling. It came with lots of potato chips. My husband and I both thought the salad dressing and the chicken in the salad were pretty salty. I did not like the dressing at all. The appearance and ingredients gives an expectation of a Chinese chicken salad dressing (sesame) but to my disappointment, it was far from it. I appreciated that the chicken salad sandwich did not have too much mayonnaise. However, the sandwich itself could have used a thin layer of mayo as it was a bit dry. The grapes in the sandwich added a pleasant sweetness to it.

    I've been to The Goat & Vine several times & I come here for the pizza. Specifically, the Hatch Chili Honey Chicken Pizza. It is always such a crowd pleaser. I love the caramelized onions, avocado & cilantro on it. It's a nice sized 14" pizza and good for folks to share. The pizza was delicious as always, too! Today, we also ordered the Caesar salad, and it was definitely a miss. It is also extremely expensive at $17. While it was generously sized, the salad was messy & falling off of the plate. The lettuce was too flimsy and did not have the classic Caesar crunch. The dressing was slopped on the lettuce in globs and was not uniformly mixed. The dressing was also very mustard-forward and too strong. Needless to say, I will not order it again! The restaurant is comfortable inside and serves a range of pizzas, sandwiches & starters. They also have some great desserts as well. They have a full bar. Service was pleasant and efficient. Parking is plentiful on the street and in the surrounding free garages. Peace.

    You Confit Me, add mushrooms
    Jennifer L.

    Wow the pizza here definitely lived up to the hype! This place is by far the most reviewed on Yelp in the area so I knew I had to check it out. Joined the waitlist around noon on a Sunday and got seated at 1:30 - definitely join the waitlist ASAP as the wait can get really long, up to 2-3 hours. Keep in mind the pizzas can take up to 30 minutes as well. Our server was aware that we were on a time crunch and was very nice about checking in with us throughout our meal We got the goat and vine salad - mixed greens, strawberries, tomatoes, goat cheese, and champagne vinaigrette. Tasty and refreshing We went with the You Confit Me pizza - fennel sausage, ricotta, hatch chile honey, garlic confit, mozzarella and Parmesan, and added mushrooms as well. It was SO good. The perfect balance of savory, garlicky, sweet, and creamy. The pizza dough was perfectly baked and had a nice crunch to it. I can see why it's so highly rated! The decor was cute, modern, a bit industrial. Definitely a good spot for a date night or nice lunch or dinner celebration. Would definitely come back again for this pizza!

    I can see why it's not a solid 5 star review! We were highly recommended here and if it wasn't for our last day in town.... I wouldn't give them a chance. We walked in 8 minutes EARLY and the guy cleaning told us they were not opened. We asked if we can sit and wait inside and he said no. Wow.. really? The door is wide open.. means welcome in! lol! Glad we stayed. The pizza dough crust is well worth the visit despite the initial encounter. I'll come back for the food! We split the goat cheese pizza (pretty much everything had goat in it.) No pun intended. It only comes 14 inches. Sounds pretty big, but worth it! We split the large the salad.

    I'm not sure if I recommend this place if you wanna make it like a local spot you always go to it was really fun to try. I probably will try it again but now I've learned on the food portions a I'm not sure if I recommend this place if you're looking for a local hangout. It was definitely fun to try, but I've learned a thing or two about food portions and sizes. I started with the chicken pesto sandwich, which was doused in olives. It was horrible. I'm not going to judge it solely on that, but the sourdough bread was also so hard that it irritated my gums. Our waitress was very kind, and she took care of all our needs. However, she didn't seem particularly interested in hearing about the food. On the other hand, their pizza was amazing, their cheese bread was outstanding, and the salads were surprisingly large and delicious. The ginger beer, though, was flat. We brought it to her attention, but she didn't seem to care. We also waited 45 minutes for a table on a Tuesday. I ordered a lemonade, thinking it was made like fresh lemonade, but it definitely wasn't. If it was made fresh, they need to revamp their process. Overall, I'm just pointing out the things that didn't work for me. The restaurant itself is cool, and the vibe is good. The food was also good, but there were just a few small details that affected my visit.

    The confit me
    Lisa T.

    This place can get busy during lunch. We sat at the bar counter and service was a bit slow because they were busy. We got their garlic pizza with fennel sausage and ricotta and it was very good. Definitely a great spot for pizza with elevated specialty topping combinations. The restaurant was decorated with wood and moss for a rustic forest look. There is plenty of free parking available on the street or in nearby free structures.

    Mother's meatballs ($21)
    Brian F.

    Goat & Vine is an Italian restaurant located in the heart of Old Town Temecula. They offer pizzas, cold and hot sandwiches, and salads. There was free parking at the parking garage across the street. We put our name on the Yelp waitlist right when they opened and were seated within 45 minutes for a party of two. The mother's meatballs ($21) came with big two meatballs and were flavorful and cheesy. It also came with cheesy bread which was nice to dip into the tomato sauce. The jalapeño lime carnitas pizza ($30) was like a taco on pizza; it was cheesy but I thought it could've used more carnitas. The spicy italian sandwich ($18.50) was good with lots of meat and a hint of spice. The location is super central so it's usually packed. The pizzas are the most popular things here but they also have other offerings as well as cocktails, beers, and wine.

    The favorite Turkey
    Casey S.

    I stopped by The Goat and Vine in Temecula and had a really enjoyable lunch. The stone hearth kitchen vibe is welcoming, the service was attentive, and you can tell they put care into making things from scratch. The You Confit Me pizza was a highlight. It's garlic confit done right, paired with fennel sausage, fresh mozzarella, a touch of hatch chile honey for sweetness and heat, plus ricotta and red pepper flakes. It had great balance, a crispy yet chewy crust from the hearth, and the flavors popped without being overpowering. Definitely one I'll order again. The Favorite Turkey Sandwich on their house made sourdough was also excellent. Roasted turkey, creamy French brie, basil aioli, fig and balsamic compote, sprouts, and red onion came together beautifully. The sweet-savory combo from the figs really made it. Everything was tasty and well-prepared, the portions are generous and prices fair for the quality. Overall a great experience and I'd happily return to try more pizzas or their other sandwiches. Recommended!

    The best Chinese chicken salad we ever had
    Caren R.

    Kristin was our server and she was great. All the food we had was delicious. We did the waitlist on Yelp even though it was a Monday night. We got there 10 minutes before the waitlist said our table would be ready and The hostess said we had a half an hour wait. So we were a little disappointed, but we waited and it was really only 10 minutes. The place is adorable and the food is delicious and just looking at everybody's food. Everything looked amazing. We had the best Chinese chicken salad that we've ever had and we also had the hot honey pepperoni pizza.

    Orange Blossom Spritz Mocktail
    Anna M.

    The restaurant itself is chic, esthetic and alluring. Definitely a vibe. My husband and I were seated at the bar and we had the most amazing experience. The bartender, Anthony, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Orange Blossom Spritz Mocktail and it transported me to Italy. The aromatic flavors made me melt. Watching Anthony put it together was fun. He is a true professional and you can tell that he enjoys what he does. For food, we ordered the Breadsticks with House Sauce and the Hatch Chile Honey Chicken Pizza. Everything is freshly prepared and incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back soon.

    This 12-Inch Toasted Beast Just Executed My Sad Spinach & Nut Butter Smoothie Diet -- And I'm Not…read moreEven Pressing Charges Temecula, I rolled in a starving 6'4" disaster who's been choking down spinach-and-nut-butter smoothies like a hostage for weeks. Rockin' Jay's looked at my weak soul and said "bet" -- then saved it in the best way possible. Counter girl hit me with a smile so bright I almost reached for sunglasses. The entire all-female crew was straight beast-mode at the open sandwich bar, slinging subs like they were on a mission from the sandwich gods. Atmosphere? Spacious as hell, proper New York deli that moonlights as a 70s rock dive -- screaming reds and greens, green booths, wooden tables, tiled floors, the whole retro package you see in the pics. The playlist was gloriously all over the place in the best way -- Contemporary Christian one minute, 2019 pop bangers the next, basically spanning six decades of straight fire. "Listen to your heart" came on and I damn near did while they built my baby. Every single pick was gold though. I ordered the 12" Capicola & Provolone ($16.69). I yelled "the works -- no mustard, drown me in onions and olives." They dropped an absolute beast of a sandwich... and it came perfectly toasted straight out the gate the way it should be. No sad "can you toast this?" negotiation. Golden, crunchy bread that cracks like it owes you money. Meat stacked stupid high, provolone doing its melty thing, then they buried the whole thing under an avalanche of fresh, snapping shredded lettuce and threw in those glossy peppers on the side like a mic drop. This thing is ridiculously messy -- oil dripping, lettuce flying, pure delicious chaos in every bite. Pro tip: there's no napkin dispenser at the tables, so you gotta go full scavenger hunt by the self-serve soda machine to grab your own stack. Worth every greasy finger and napkin raid. It fed this giant for two meals and left me still full, slightly greasy, and weirdly emotional. My spinach smoothie PTSD? Cured. If your diet has been as depressing as mine, stop torturing yourself and drag your weak ass here immediately. Friendly as can be, killer vibe, and subs that actually deliver. Tell 'em the tall smoothie refugee sent you. I'm claiming a booth next week and bringing stretchy pants... and maybe my own napkin stash.
