My girlfriend and I came to Pinnacles last weekend and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was excellent, but what really made the night was the service. Anahii took care of our table and honestly set a new bar for hospitality. She knew the menu inside and out, and timed every course perfectly. She caught that it was our anniversary, brought recommendations that were spot-on, and made sure drinks were never empty. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. the reason why my girlfriend and I will be regulars now. read more

Absolutely a horrible Mother's Day experience today 5-10-26. $313.00 for two people and the worst food ever. The inside of the restaurant was plain, with no beautiful atmosphere. There are no views. I could have eaten at IHOP and would have had better food. Not to mention the dirty bathrooms. Stay away! read more

Visited recently with my group of girlfriends and so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves- my sister in law who was visiting from LA area became a member at Faulkner Winery. Everything from the appetizers to the food we ordered was delicious. Everyone who served us was pleasant and its ambiance next door in their wine tasting area and outdoor seating with a dj on a Saturday was fun to take part in as well! If you are looking for a winery with great food and ambience- visit here on a Saturday afternoon! read more

I absolutely love dining at the Pinnacle. I've been a member at Falkner Winery for three years. And dine at The Pinnacle their restaurant quite often. The food is incredible and the service is amazing. The first time I dined their ever I had Crystal as my server. She was great. Crystal was so attentive, sweet, and fun she made the experience even better. Everytime I go there to dine for lunch or dinner I hope I'm lucky enough to get her. The other servers are great but Crystal has always went above and beyond for me, my family, or our friends. She makes the dining experience even better and creates an atmosphere where you can just enjoy the food and the company you're with. Thank you Crystal for always taking care of me read more

First, let me say I have dined in some of the most luxurious restaurants in the world. This restaurant is top notch and ranks amongst my top 5 ever. Christa our server was elegant and charming. The food was superb, but the service took the cake. My husband, Bernie, hasn't stopped asking when we can go back and see his new favorite server Christa. I think he might have a crush, which is fine by me. Ill get a fabulous meal out of the deal. read more

My Mother's Day was so incredibly special at The Pinnacle. It would not have been nearly as wonderful had we not had one of the best servers we have ever had in a really long time. Christa was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond. The food and wine were delicious of course, but Christa was such a ray of sunshine it made it so much better. read more

I've heard positive things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, we did not get to explore Falkner winery as we were on a quest to look for a venue to accommodate our wedding anniversary. We met with the manager Jhonathan Morales. He was very helpful and gave us a tour down at the barrel room. They are currently doing construction, but it is a beautiful room with access to an outdoor area with a nice view and picturesque. The dining room on the main floor is an open concept with windows throughout providing great views. read more

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding service. Our server Krystal was knowledgeable, quick, and very welcoming.

The food here is delicious and well thought out. Flavorful and tasty all around, I've never had a bad dish here. Crista the server is super attentive and friendly as well as the manager Jonathan is also very friendly and welcoming. I've had the chance to meet the Chef a few times and he is super nice and always willing to talk food if he has the time of course. The restaurant is always clean and kept looking nice, it sits up on a hill with a nice outside view. I highly recommend you check out the pinnacle when in wine country. read more

Jhonnatan the manager was very good. He sat with my husband and and I to organize a Pre Fixe menu for a party of 12 for a 50th anniversary celebration. He was attentive, pleasant and very accommodating to what we envisioned. The chef prepared a four course menu that presented very well. The pairings of the wines with each course was very good! Loved it! The waitress explained the wines and why they were chosen for the course. The flavors were spot on. The waitress and helper did very well with all the tables they were tending. The view is gorgeous. Highly recommend Pinnacle for a casual lunch or celebration. read more

We went to The Pinnacle Restaurant for my birthday and it was a great choice. The atmosphere is very nice - white table cloths, a lovely view, and an attentive staff. The food was excellent. I had the Chicken Mushroom Risotto. The chicken was cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. There were lots of mushrooms, and the risotto was very tasty. My husband has the Chicken Parmesan which he also enjoyed. The prices were reasonable and it made for a wonderful afternoon. We look forward to going back soon. read more

Wonderful lunch on a Monday. It's January & off season,most restaurants in the area weren't open on a Monday for lunch. All I could find were places with bar food & I was not in the mood for fried greasy food. I'm glad I searched & tried this spot for the first time. Amazing food,view and service. read more

Lunch here was pretty average (and they weren't crowded on a weekend day). Ordered two different pasta dishes. Both were overcooked with bland ingredients and sauce. Covered in cheese to mask the inadequate flavors. The accompanying seafood was fresh, simply prepared. No issues with it. Service was nice. View is also pleasant. Overall, really average quality food for an above average price point (spent a little over $80 on one glass of wine and two pasta dishes). read more

Nice restaurant on a Sunday morning for brunch with friends. It was quiet and service was great! The prices were a bit more than expected but we enjoyed our food. The crab cake sandwich was large and so good. The crab cake was moist and full of flavor. The seafood stack looks more like a small seafood stew than a stack but my friend said that it was good too. Just not what she expected when she ordered. read more

Valentine's dinner was a poor statement from the chef. Canned onions, butter pats wrapped in foil, and a dessert that was frozen. You'd think a chef would have more pride in his work. Do better. read more

The Pinnacle Restaurant is located at Falkner Winery and serves a delicious Lunch. We came here after a Yelp search, which we narrowed down to winery restaurants in the area. We made reservations for midweek around one-thirty. The ambiance is white table cloth, with a magnificent view of a green, lush field (photos). It was a perfect way to relax and discuss our wine tasting next door. What we weren't prepared for, was the exquisite meal we were about to enjoy. Pinnacle is only open for lunch, which is sad because the food is soooo good. We choice their 2021 Rosato wine to have with our meal. It was only slightly sweet and went well with our choices. My wife ordered their Chicken Puff Pastry and I had their non-tomato, slightly beefy Puttanesca. Both were so light and flavorful, which yes... did melted in your mouths. Normally I would have gone with a strong and bold Sangiovese, but that would have overwhelmed the flavors of the pasta. The Chicken (photo) had a creamy corn and mushroom topping which was so light and delicious. Most winery restaurants in the Temecula Valley, with Meritage at Calloway being the lone exception, tends to focus on Flatbreads and Charcuterie Boards. Not Pinnacle. Clearly the Chef here deserves kudos for the Menu and execution. If we had more room, we would have gone with their Chocolate Soúffle. Five Stars. read more

We are members of this winery. The food was decent. The waitress was a little court. I know they had 3 waitresses and had a very small crowd (2 other tables) of customers. We asked her to take our photo which would've taken 2 seconds to do. Instead of saying "Let me take the other orders first and i'll get back to you" or "i'll have someone do that" since they did have someone who wasn't doing anything. She responded with, "I can't do that, i have other orders to take". When she finally was free, not once she came to offer if she could take our photo now. Yet, after seeing a large tip she got from us then she offered to take our photos even outside of the restaurant. She was a little rude in my book. read more

Had lunch at the Pinnacle Restaurant today. I had dined here once before over a year ago and did not have the best experience that time. I did not really like my food and even felt a bit sick afterwards. Today we decided to give it another try because my son chose to go here for his birthday lunch. Both times I've been here, it has not been very busy. There were maybe 4-5 other tables being served. The view is great, but the decor, although simple, is a bit dated. The restaurant is large inside, but it lacks an inviting atmosphere. Our server was friendly and did a nice job. I had the BLATT sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty tasty and filling. It was served with house made potato chips that were good, except several of them were burnt. Everyone else in our party ordered a burger, and all agreed it was a good burger. Since it was my son's birthday he was given a complimentary slice of cheesecake which was a nice touch. Overall, this was a much better experience than our previous one and based on this we will probably come back another time and try the dinner entrees again. Next time I will remember to take pictures! read more

My friends invited me to Temecula wine country in Southern California, another wine road like Napa or Sonoma in Northern California and we had lunch at Pinnacle the restaurant won award for their Hamburger Signature. We didn't try it but try the different dishes. The restaurant view was so beautiful and huge open room decorated The service was great She was lovely cute. But one thing I'll not recommend cause of the foods were really nothing special not tasty like others restaurants. My friend drove 1.30 hrs but he said next time trying another read more

Forget about the stunning views looking out of the circular windows, the lunch was superb. The crabcake sandwich with the hot ability and chips was perfect. The platter of caramelized brussels sprouts with goat cheese, cranberries and fried egg was delish. Priced right, this place us a BINGO! read more

On a extra hot Temecula day, the last thing I wanted to do was eat lunch outside. Thankfully, the Pinnacle is indoors with AC and they take reservations. For groups of 4 or less, you can book online. It's easy to call for larger parties. The restaurant itself has a beautiful view with a window facing the vineyards stretching across the entire wall. Service was great! They were friendly and attentive to our needs. Food itself was okay. I got the pasta puttanesca and it was fine. Nothing special but not bad either. I did enjoy the complimentary bread and butter at the start of the meal. They offered a free birthday ice cream. The wine here is good so that's a positive. Overall, it's a good option for an indoor meal but the food is fine. read more

3.5 Stars Super glad Pinnacle was able to accommodate a large group at the last minute. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Friday at 2pm. Service was top notch - our waitress was always ensuring we had everything we needed. The Porchetta Sandwich was really like a pork belly slab sandwich and not legitimate Porchetta. Was it good? Heck yes it was good! The flavors were perfect with garlic aioli, soft bread and sauce for the pork belly. Loved the roasted red peppers and arugula. The Chicken Sandwich was not as good. I ate bread for a long time before I got to the chicken, which was dry. Flavors were ok. Side of salad was very well done and the chips were lightly fried. I'd go back for their "Porchetta" sandwich. read more

We were party of 20. Were told they can only split the bill in two, so asked everyone to bring cash. We tallied everyone's charges and collected cash, but came out $40 or so short for some reason :( I, being the organizer, just charged on my credit card. Later, looked closely at the receipt and saw a charge of $32 for 8 orders of 'bread.' We received bread and they were very good, BUT, were never told this is a separate charge. Typically, restaurants bring bread to the table as soon a we sit and at no charge. We would have been happy to pay for it, of course, if we were told at the beginning that it will be a separate charge. $32 plus tax & gratuity came to $40 or so... We all thought this was rather sneaky and felt cheated. We advise the restaurant/servers to make this clear at the very beginning. read more

2nd time here & highly impressed both. Food selection, quality, facility, service = top notch. Highly recommend!

The view is awesome. The waitress and waiters are great. I always love the food here. I do need my hot sauce if I feel that the food needs just a little flavor. Overall, I like it. It all depends on your flavor. This day, for my octopus, I did need a hint of hot sauce. The last time I had it, it was perfect on point. The seafood appetizer you have to try. read more

This was a hidden treasure that we happened to stumble upon. As we looked for a breakfast spot in the wine-country area, we discovered two things; 1. Wineries aren't open for breakfast 2. Pinnacle serves a delicious lunch starting at 11:30 am. I won't bore you with the details of our fruitless quest for a fancy breakfast spot. The good news is that we found Pinnacle by calling around. It was just past 11am but they said we were welcome to come early. When we arrived, the restaurant is located above providing a gorgeous view of their land. It's quite a gem as a venue for any event. The entrance to the restaurant is very grand and the dining area is even grander! (Is that a word lol) The hosts were very welcoming and happy to have us there. We were their first customers of the day and they seated us by a window in the middle of the huge space. We were very grateful for our view. We ordered promptly as we were starving by now being forced to shift from waffle cravings to a lunch menu. But we did. The food came out quickly and we were thankful for that. First, the Short-rib Sandwich with homemade potato chips. I still remember my Mama's face when she put the fist chip in her mouth I wish I had the video. Her reaction to the truffle cheese dip and sandwich was just as dramatic. Now we all had to taste it! It was amazing! That bread! Next was the Cheeseburgers- they were top 3 best cheeseburgers ever! So so good! And the french fries were masterfully prepared. Crunchy. Soft. Seasoned. Perfection! My Bowtie Pasta was so beautiful and tasty. I ate every bite. The service was absolutely excellent! Our coffees cups were never empty and they waited on us like total professionals. We were so glad to find this beautiful wonderful restaurant winery. I will be back very soon!!! read more
