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

I think this is one of the top 3 restaurants in all of Temecula. Amazing risotto and burger. Haven't found a risotto this good before

Excellent service staff are awesome The food was delicious Jessica did an incredible service, she welcome us like family thank you and the manager Jonathan morales was beyond grateful. 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

atmosphere and food was delicious. we stopped for lunch and Christa our waitress was so friendly and helpful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What a miserable two hours waiting, waiting, waiting and finally having lunch!! Two couples lunched here as it was part of the package our limo company arranged. I can't believe the ratings from my fellow yelpers, as we literally waited 1.5 hours for our meals to be delivered, amid the cacophony of all the large parties on other tours similarly dining here. And the food was basic diner quality. Service and attentiveness from our server was minimal. Despite our repeated requests from various managers to intercede and speed up our orders, there was zero interest to improve a terrible situation. The acoustics are horrendous, and we could hardly hear each other as we waited, waited, waited. Only positive is that they gave us a 10% discount on the one bottle of wine we bought from their cellar. read more

Time 1130 at opening for lunch, on a Friday We're locals, only a few minutes away and thought it would be a nice day for a yummy lunch. First the staff, very attentive and I wish I made a point to get their names as they both were wonderful. The view, simply amazing. Was the perfect day. Please excuse the pictures as the lighting was perfect for the meal however not great for photos. We actually had a good deal of clouds in Temecula today, was a great surprise. We were sat near the windows and I couldn't have asked for a better view. Again... top notch staff. So the food was interesting. The Mac and cheese is no where near what would be consider American style or Baked. The best way to explain it is if you never had French scrambled eggs and you ordered it, expecting something like American scrambled eggs you would be shocked. I didn't say disappointed but shocked. Completely different but I really loved it. I think they make their noodles in house, I could taste a difference. My lobster Mac was delicious. My wife's scallops and shrimp over fettuccine was equally amazing. Price is right in line with what wine country is at. All and all it was a wonderful lunch and we will be back. Please like usually, take my review with a grain of salt. This is why I post times and days because as the place gets busier the service or food times might change for any number of reasons. But this was our experience today and we loved this place. 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!

Stopped by here for lunch after wine tasting at another winery. Food here was delicious. My wife had the grilled octopus and it was to die for. My dad loved the seafood portifino. I decided to be healthy and had the Santa Barbara Salad with added shrimp and it was perfect. I went with the suggested pairing of a Riesling with the salad and they were perfect together. We will definitely be coming back again the next time we visit Temecula. read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant! The 180° view of the vineyards is beautiful. Plus side for the Temecula heat it was indoor and air conditioned. The wine was beautiful. The food was even better. We enjoyed a Seafood stack and a crab cake sandwich. The flavors were amazing. Christa was our server and she was the best! The music was perfect. I find some restaurants play it to loud and you are unable to have a conversation. If i could give it more stars i would! We will be returning soon! read more

This was my 1st time at Pinnacle my friends are club members! So they took us for Christmas ! This place has such a beautiful view, it's absolutely breathtaking! So glad I was able to experience this amazing place. The food was great.. we just got burger because we wanted to put something heavy on our stomachs, they were juicy and flavorful! Our other friends spoke very highly of the crab cake sandwich and the pasta. Service was super fast, attentive, nice, and made us feel welcomed and comfortable.

5..Thank you Tina! I was tasked with finding a venue for my team meeting with members in San Diego and the Inland Empire. Temecula valley is half way. I thought about the "usual"wineries (you know their names) however I am so happy I chose Pinnacle at Falkner. Initially for the views and also because they have a "real" food menu. Not just sandwiches and burgers. Reservations-Tabitha was so patient with me regarding questions from the menu. Birthday desserts, and of course window seats. I asked LOTS of questions and she was patient and professional. She happened to be there that day, made sure our table was ready and also volunteered to set up a table for our gift exchange when she noticed we had presents. (Unheard of- usually you have to ask someone and the. They have to has to talk to a manager yadda yadda) - not here.... She set an extra table up right away for us to display presents for our White Elephant gift exchange. Service- *TINA* was truly the star of this show. Service with a smile. She handled our indecisive party of 8. Delivered excellent service to the divas at the table (me included.. lol) answered questions regarding wine and her suggestions paired well with our dishes. If there were any questions or concerns they were handled with ease and Grace. Corporate card, personal card, alcohol on separate check, different tabs for bottled wine .. no problem. Ask to sit in Tina's section she handled our large group like the pro she is. Serving staff- water cups filled, bread baskets, butter, lemon for tea or water.. oh the many drinks. Packed meals for take away or boxes. The 2 gentlemen were on point. Armand-(sp) gentleman in green velvet jacket from the winery took care of us at the table with regards to purchasing wine instead of requiring us to go to the winery. Food- Tina recommended Appetizers the stuffed Avocado we ordered 2-Delish! The mozzarella/shrimp delicious. Seafood stack YUM! Winemakers pasta was amazing, Frutti Mare-yum. I ordered the mushroom soup which was outstanding and the Salmon Wellington... everything was wonderful. The burgers were huge and all portion sizes were filling. If you're leery about trying the restaurant because of previous reviews please take a chance, it's worth it. And the service- impeccable. All 8 guests said they'd be coming back and 3 bottles were purchased (the Syrah-amazing).. Unfortunately everything -food presentation was so good, we didn't get the chance to take pictures of each dish. Views, views, views. You have made repeat customers out of us all. read more

BLATT was substantial, and flavorful.. Caprese salad was not worth the price in taste, presentation, or amount. Ditto for the Winemaker Pasta.with shrimp. Service was friendly, informative, and helpful, but the server was distracted by a group of food critics seated nearby, slowing the service for is, we felt. The restaurant is voluminous, and there were five tables seated when we were there. The noise with those limited tables was such that it was difficult to carry on a conversation.. read more
