    Cheesecake
    Ron T.

    Came here for my anniversary dinner. The restaurant definitely had an upscale vibe to it. The ambiance and service was A1. Drinks were on point too. They're known for their Old Fashioned; which is one of my favorite drinks. As far as the food-it was definitely high on my list of steakhouses. They really season their meet to the bone. I didn't too much care for the Mac and cheese. It had Gorgonzola in it, which drastically ruins the taste.

    If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, The Great Oak Steakhouse at Pechanga is truly unforgettable. Recommended by some of my previous colleagues, I now completely understand why this place has such an incredible reputation. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone -- elegant décor, perfectly curated music, and a warm, upscale atmosphere that makes the evening feel special from start to finish. The service is impeccable: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Now, the food -- absolutely phenomenal. We had the highest quality Wagyu, aged for 30 days in snow (yes, actual snow!). The flavor profile is extraordinary, and the steak is so tender it melts like butter in your mouth. Every bite is an explosion of richness and perfection. The Alaskan King Crab legs were equally fantastic -- fresh, succulent, and prepared flawlessly. From the appetizers to the handcrafted cocktails and decadent desserts, every course exceeded expectations. This is a MUST if you are visiting Temecula or heading to Pechanga Casino. Even if it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it's absolutely worth it. An unforgettable evening of world-class dining.

    Always my to go dining place when there is an event going on at Pechanga casino. The waiters are always friendly and very attentive. Food is always delicious and at its best. Our favorites are the lamb chops, fresh green garden salads, sea bass and their premium steaks. Their seafood is superb but be careful and make sure you as for the market price before ordering because it can be a little steep. If you are celebrating a birthday, mention it because they have an awesome dessert that you can't order on the menu. It is only for birthday peeps.

    Wow I've been here on multiple occasions but this time was truly amazing. Our server was a nicer older lady and was super kind. I got the 10 oz filet mignon cooked medium and it was truly amazing perfect cook. My brother got a 12 oz NY strip it was also a perfect medium amazing job on the steak. The steak with the chimichurri is soooo good. For dessert the butter cake is a must it's sooo good it literally tastes heavenly. Overall great experience for my 3rd time coming and this was the best time.

    First time customer to this steakhouse. Gotta give an appreciation for the place, its vibes, decorations, the set up, but most importantly, THEIR FOOD. Cooked to perfection with no complaints. Our severs, Joe and Jennifer made it an even better experience. They were soo sweet, wonderful, kind n accommodating to us from beginning to end. Jennifer even threw in a few more little hot sauce bottles. Only planned for the steak only but ended with the seafood tower as well. Totally worth it. N the drive from LA.

    We came here for my husband's birthday, and our food was delicious and the service was great. We tried the lobster bisque, Caesar salad, the bread basket, and we split one of these steak meals with asparagus, mashed potatoes, and lobster mac & cheese. Everything was so yummy and we will definitely come back for another special occasion.

    My hubby loves to take me here for my Birthday and Anniversary. I love ordering the Tomahawk Steak and side dishes... TOMAHAWK: 9/10 Love the steak. It usually comes slightly undercooked so we like to order it Medium Plus or Medium Well. You'll usually see a red center but, that's probably how they roll around here... DIVER SCALLOPS: 10/10 My star of the show! The sauce is highly addictive and the scallops are cooked perfectly. The portions are also generous so it's big enough to share for 2-4 people... BREAD BASKET: 7/10 The old one tasted better because it had the little cheese bread. Please bring those back! They are the reason we always order the bread basket!!!! SERVICE: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excellent 5 star service. Everyone is always moving and working hard. I have no complaints. We will be back!!! Rock On GREAT OAK STEAKHOUSE!!

    We decided to do something different for Thanksgiving this year and celebrate at Pechanga. During our visit, we tried a few restaurants with the plan of this one being the main restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner and we were not pleased with the experience at all. When we first arrived, the restaurant was gorgeous with a bar area to the right and the main dining area to the left. There was a big fire place that set the mood and wine bottles displayed on the walls nicely decorated from the ceiling to the ground in certain sections of the room. Right away I thought the food was going to be fire and we chose the perfect place! The boys were dressed nice and my wife took forever to get ready but showed up in her beautiful outfit. Anyway, we ordered the food and the kids ordered Mac n cheese and my mom and I ordered the prefixed Thanksgiving traditional turkey dinner, which consisted of corn bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, giblet gravy, and cranberry sauce. My wife ordered the prime 10 oz filet with Brussels sprouts. Now this is where we had a few issues. #1 the kids didn't like the Mac n cheese and the menu was limited so they didn't want anything else. The server assistant who brought out the food saw the kids didn't like their food and asked if they wanted sliders and fries. We told her that would be amazing. Our waitress came out and took their plates knowing they didn't eat it and asked if they wanted something else. We told her the server assistant put in an order for sliders and fries and the waitress said she didn't even know they offered that. The sliders came and they were completely dry but the fries were good. The kids just ate the fries. #2 my meal was ok but the cranberry sauce they put on the plate had an old thicker consistency than the fresh cranberry sauce they brought in a cup for the table. I was a little weirded out by that and the cornbread stuffing wasn't good. The turkey was delicious. #3 two things here! They asked if we wanted bread for the table but didn't mention it would be $9 dollars (I'm ok with that) but my wife asked for some steak sauce for her steak and they brought her two sauces. They charged $4 for the peppercorn sauce and $6 for the G.O. Sauce! We definitely aren't cheap but at least let a brotha know lol. We could have packed the sauces up and took them to the room for later. The steak was good though, I'm not going to lie. #4 lastly, we ordered a pecan pumpkin pie and we got a nice decorated piece of chocolate candy in the shape of a pumpkin with cream in the inside sitting on top of a small piece of bread. We were told this was the pecan pumpkin pie. There was no pie and no pecans but I think the filling was suppose to be the pumpkin. We all took a small bite and didn't want anymore. Overall, this was not the place to come for Thanksgiving but I'm pretty sure their regular menu is pretty good. Just be prepared for the little charges and know that nothing is free in there except the water (I think). We definitely won't be going back there and I wouldn't recommend, sorry.

    Lobster Bisque
    Randi B.

    Had dinner here for my father in law's 80th birthday, it was very good! This is a pretty restaurant with comfy seating, a big bar, and nice bathrooms. All the people who attended to our table were nice and helpful. About half of the steaks on the menu are MP. My husband inquired about the smallest cut on the "Snow Aged" Wagyu MP portion of the menu and it was $260 for 6 oz! He passed on that. To start we ordered a bread basket for the table, I had a truffle roll and it was nice. Husband had Indian fry bread and we both liked it. Husband also ordered two of their Kentucky In Fashioned drinks, the 2nd one they smoked for him, brought out a massive cloche filled with so much smoke! It smelled like a campfire, he really liked the smoked version. I am not sure what the corkage fee was, but somebody in our party brought 2 bottles of wine that they opened for us. I also ordered one glass of Cab from their menu and it was great. For dinner we split the Lobster Bisque to start, it was really good. A velvety, rich, broth, large chunks of lobster, super tasty. I could eat a huge bowl of that! We each had Ribeyes, medium rare. His was the 20 oz bone in Prime, and mine was the 14 oz bone in 21 Day Aged Prime. Honestly our steaks were the same size, and his was more tender than mine, although they both tasted amazing. I had truffle butter added to mine and I loved it. Sides shared with the table were mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. I really liked all of them, but there sides were TINY compared to other steakhouses I have been to. At the end they only boxed up the leftover steaks and took away the leftover sides, didn't ask if anybody wanted them. They brought out a white chocolate covered cheesecake with a raspberry sauce for my FIL, he liked it. I didn't care for the white chocolate, but that's just not a flavor I like. I didn't see the bill, but it's typical steakhouse pricing, so it was at least $150 a person. I liked this place, but wouldn't go out of my way to drive here again for dinner. If I happened to be in Temecula, it would be an option I am open to. It's very quiet in there, you would have no idea the casino is right outside the doors.

    My wife and I came here for our 19th wedding anniversary. This is a fine dining experience with a dress code. We were seated on time and greeted with water and a bread basket from the appetizer menu. We then chose a Shrimp Cocktail and a wedge salad. The addition of cracked pepper to the wedge salad was a nice addition. Plus, the bacon on the wedge salad was so delicious. We then switched to our main course, which was a 21-day aged New York steak (delicious) and Diver Scallops (unbelieveably good), paired with asparagus and mushrooms as a side. Everything was excellent. Service from Maria was amazing. At the end of the dinner, Maria presented my wife and I with an excellent dessert, on which the chefs had written "Happy Anniversary" in beautiful cursive on the plate. This place is inside the Pechanga Casino. We came for the food and experience, and I would highly recommend this place for any type of celebratory dinner. This steakhouse also offered the Wagyu Experience, but we chose not to partake. It was market pricing, and on Saturday (04/11/26), the market price was $300 for 2 people.

    Diver Scallops
    Roger C.

    Wow! This place was outstanding! Housed in the Pechanga Casino. This place is a rather large restaurant with plenty of seating. Modern decor with a great cocktail and wine list. SERVICE: Everyone here was great. We had a good size party, but they got us seated quickly and our server was very friendly and attentive. FOOD: As you can tell from the pictures, we ordered a few things. Everything was great, but some of our favorites were the pork belly, the scallops, and the New York Strip. Also the desserts were Fab!! They have a good selection of cocktails and wine. My old (in) fashioned was superb. You don't have to like casinos to eat here and the place has done a nice job of keeping it smoke free. I am definitely coming back.

    Food 5* Service 5* Ambiance 5* We've been to this steakhouse before the renovation and it was just okay. We love the new menu and love the renovation. Our favorite part of this place is the bar. It has the speakeasy vibe with a modern twist of on art deco. Service is always on point here, from the bartenders, servers, busters and the friendly hosts.

    NY strip
    Wally P.

    Classy and elegant. First class service. This would rival any steakhouse in Vegas. We shared the NY strip and asked them to slice it up with some truffle butter. Not exactly the most tender cut, but good flavor. Mac and cheese and steamed asparagus were standard. Overall, pricey, and our steak was not top quality. But ambiance and service is top notch. Yes I will try this place again

We started with the Cowgirl Kisses appetizer, my only complaint was that I wish they came with more than 3 to share! They were so yummy. My husband ordered the country fried ribeye with fries and corn/veggies. It was delicious and a huge portion. I decided on the blackened ribeye with mashed potatoes and corn/veggies. Everything was perfectly cooked and the corn was seasoned so well, even my husband who normally doesn't like corn liked it! Everything was plated beautifully too which I always appreciate. We didn't save room for dessert but they had some really great sounding options, so I definitely recommend saving room to try something!

Slightly charred outside. Tender. Perfect. Mom's. Gray. Pale. More tough. A top sirloin. No pics. Sorry. But. Definitely not the same steak. At all. Braulio the mgr came over. Looked at the steaks. Stated there was no way meat could be mixed up because they use skewers on outgoing steaks. Weirdly, there were no skewer markers in our steaks in the three steaks we ordered. He semi-apologized and conveyed the least amount of empathy ever witnessed. He still denied the wrong steak was delivered. He offered to send out another filet. But, an 86-yr-old lady can only eat so much. She ate 1/3 and was over it. At the very least, the mgr could have said "So sorry. We sometimes make mistakes. Let me down-charge you to a top sirloin." It's ok to admit the kitchen maybe, possibly, might have made an error. And that's ok. But to say there was no error, you are doing a disservice to customer service. Heck. If he had even offered a $10 gift card for a return visit, I would have been impressed. See. It wasn't the point of being delivered a wrong steak, it was the point that the manager denied it. I never do this, but I took pictures of the floors. Oof. Never seen this before. Trash. Food chunks. I showed Braulio, and he couldn't have cared less. He said "Ok." I can't recall this restaurant ever looking like this. I did get an answer from a worker, "It's late and we're finally getting the floor cleaned up." Most places have the floors cleaned regularly throughout the day/night. Never have seen this in prior visits. So.....Would we return? Possibly due to Pradeep and MJ. And to the usual great experience.

At the end of the night, Leila asked our friend how he liked his steak because it didn't seem like he ate anything. He said it was okay and she kept insisting you can be honest and kept pushing the matter. This was extremely uncomfortable because there was no need to make him feel like he was put on the spot. while I understand the need to want feedback, if your guest says it's okay and seem uncomfortable, maybe leave it at that. She then came over to me and asked about my steak and again saying, "you can be honest." Why wouldn't I be? I did tell her the steak was cooked incorrectly, that was not a medium steak and pointed out that it was dry. There was this awkward silence at the table because honestly there wasn't a need to keep pushing. Simply asking how was it would have suffice. They did end up comping my steak which was nice of them however the entire experience just wasn't pleasant. From the ambiance, to the crowd, to the food - wasn't worth it.

    initially, my cousins and I wanted to go to 1909, but with a 40-minute wait versus no wait at all,…read morePublic House was the obvious choice. Our server was amazing, and the food was super tasty. We ordered a bunch to share--pizza, burgers, shishito peppers, pesto pasta, and goat cheese toast--all of which were delish. That said, there were a few downsides. At one point, the server forgot to put in my order, which was fine since we were all full, but it was a bit funny waiting for a burger that wasn't even in the system. We were excited to hear the band, but with some tech difficulties and having been there over an hour, we decided it was time to head out. Overall, it's a good place with great vibes, good food, and wonderful service. Definitely a spot I'd return to for a relaxed night out.

    I have a good breakfast experience over two years ago…read more First thing we noticed that restroom was in aweful shape. We should have walked out then. Today breakfast was awful ! I had the short rib Benedict , the meat was dry as if they were freeze dried , the egg did not flow and was more on the soft build egg side and not up to par at all. There Belgium waffle was server was crispy and not light an airy , sub par. You could get a more satisfying breakfast at dennys. Totally did not meet expectations. I ask if these were the same owners as a few years ago and they said they were in transition. There drinks were room temp Go at your own risk at least for breakfast. Good luck!

    We sat at the bar on Friday evening and the server/bartender was so great! She is so good at her…read morejob, so friendly with customers and making sure we had everything we need. We will def be back. We went in for Happy Hour to see what they had. Lots of drink options, I got the Corona Beer with the Tequila shot, that was only $8. Great deal! The food was only 4 options (bread, filled potato skins, fried chicken tenders and the fried zucchini). The free bread and butter is very good and comes out warm. I got the buffalo chicken tenders and although the sauce was really good, the chicken itself was so rubbery and the breading was very thick, just not good quality. The blue cheese dressing was top tier! Not that i'm looking for top quality in a HH special! I'll try the zucchini next time and see how that is. My hubby was very happy with his Prime Rib. He got the seasonal green beans and mashed potatoes. Delicious sides! Would absolutely get those again. The restaurant is on the InKind app, so that's a plus!

    What a waste of money. Got take out because it was a long day and I didn't have it in me to deal…read morewith people tonight...so I ordered the feast for one. Paid extra for the 16oz prime rib option, which looked on the small side. Ordered it rare, received medium so that means they cooked it medium rare to begin with which is why I ordered it rare so even with the packaging, it would be medium rare. Green beans are still raw, yay. potato skins - no sour cream and no chives included in my take out which is the two parts I look forward to. When getting there, I was informed very rudely by the hostess that my order wasnt ready yet and they just received it at 705pm when I placed the order at 621pm. Not to mention that I got a text saying my order was ready for pick up. So had to wait another 20 min before it was ready. Spoke to the manager and told her about the experience with her host and she apologized and offered me a gift card for next time which I declined. If your take outs are this bad, why would I want to dine in? $50+ meal down the drain with overcooked meat, raw green beans and a horrible watery creme brulee. Won't be coming back.
