They even had misters throughout the patio area, which made the heat much more comfortable. They also have games to enjoy while waiting for food or if you're just in the mood to hang out with drinks and have a good time We tried several things on the menu:Buffalo cauliflower,Buffalo wings,Savory Blackbird burger and Spicy chicken sandwich with seasoned fries Everything was flavorful and fresh, but those seasoned fries were sooo good! Since the weather was warm, I had to try one of their drinks and went with the Frostbite refreshing with a yummy coconut flavor Perfect for a hot day. Customer service was awesome from beginning to end, and overall it was just a really enjoyable experience. If you're in Temecula, definitely give this spot a try. We'll absolutely be back!

Naturally, we chose to have breakfast here, where there are gorgeous views of the golf course. I'm surprised I hadn't written a review since I've been here several times in the past. Journey's End's interior is upscale but with a casual ambiance. The architectural details are thoughtfully planned out and enhance the aesthetic. It's a simple elegance with a modern touch. It wasn't crowded & we were seated right away. Our waiter was Anthony and we were very happy with his service. I had the traditional scrambled eggs, bacon, house potatoes with wheat toast & coffee while hubby got the Belgian waffle with eggs & bacon. My plate was huge! It was enjoyable but so filling I had to have the leftovers boxed up. Hubby enjoyed his meal as well. Coffee was surprisingly very good! We will definitely return!

We frequently come here to pick up our wine orders but also to dine at their restaurant. You can have reservations, call in, or stand by and wait on their waitlist. They only have outdoor seating and fans with mist for the heat during the summertime. During our visit with our friends, Ramon was our server. Not only was he humorous and silly, he was very professional and accommodated towards our needs. He was very communicative and quick, too! Our friends and I had two bottles of wine with a charcuterie board, salmon sandwich, mussels, and a flatbread. My absolute favorite are their mussels!! It comes with this amazing sauce. I ask for their free bread to dip with the mussel sauce because it's how fantastic it is! Whenever I crave mussels, this is the place I go to. Amazing service, food, and environment. Fabulous job! Thank you for helping us out, Ramon!

I highly recommend visiting the cave restaurant with a group of friends. It's an excellent choice…read morefor hot summers in Temecula, especially if you prefer the indoor setting. However, be aware that the inside can get quite loud if live music is playing, so it might not be the most intimate place for conversations. The interior of the cave is beautifully designed, and it's a pleasant experience to sit among the wine barrels. The service was attentive and great, and we had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday there. There were several other birthday celebrations happening at the same time, adding to the lively atmosphere. If you're planning a large group, I strongly recommend making a reservation on OpenTable. They were very accommodating and quickly added our plus one to our group. If you call them and they don't pick up, they'll actually call you back, which is a great service. The food portions were generous, and I had to take half of my chicken sandwich home. The only unusual item on the menu was the calamari. It didn't resemble the typical circular calamari you'd expect; instead, it looked almost like fish sticks. It wasn't the best value for the price, so I wouldn't order it again. On the other hand, the burgers and tri-tip sandwich were amazing. Everyone in our group left feeling satisfied and full. The wine selection is quite impressive, with a tasting flight priced at $40. They also offer Margarita and sangria flights. I opted for a single glass of sangria, which was $17. While it was refreshing, I felt it could have benefited from more fruit and was not overly sweet. So, take what you like from it. Overall, the cave restaurant is a bit pricey, but it's a great option for a group outing. There's a distillery on-site, but it has a long wait if you don't make a reservation. The grounds are beautiful, surrounded by rolling hills of grapevines, and many people are taking photos. Parking is a bit of a hassle. You can park down the hill and take a complimentary golf cart up, or you can pay $10 for valet parking. Cash or card payments are accepted. The bathrooms are located outside the dining area. I would coming here again.

My husband…read moreand I were celebrating our anniversary, so I made a note in the reservation and requested to sit inside the cave. Plenty of parking. There is parking all the way up and lower spaces available with a staircase. We were greeted by the host who took note of our reservation, then walked us inside to be seated. The cave is sooo cool!!!!! We were seated in the back to the left, where there were many tables set for groups of 2 people. It looked like larger parties are seated to the right of the cave. Our server let us know that on Wednesdays they have a Date Night special for $100! So we ordered off that! One bottle of Sav. Blanc (dry, cold and delicious), 2 house salads (omg the best Italian dressing you'll ever have!!), then we each ordered our mains and shared the cannolis for dessert. Our server was attentive but also gave us lots of space to enjoy our special dinner. All the food was incredible and for $100, you can't beat it! Highly recommend and we will be back!

Talia Kitchen was hands down one of the highlights of our visit to Murrieta Hot Springs Resort…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and restorative--perfectly reflecting the wellness-focused spirit of the resort. The open, beautiful space felt like it nourished both the body and soul. We started with the House Focaccia & Whipped Fresh Ricotta, topped with saba reduction, pine nut gremolata, and moon drop grapes. It was absolutely incredible and the perfect way to begin the meal. We also enjoyed the Roasted Potato Purée alongside our dinner, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The dehydrated parsley, fried garlic, and grilled scallion oil elevated a seemingly simple dish into something truly memorable. For our entrée, we both ordered the Braised Brandt Beef Prime Short Rib, served with stokes purple yam purée, bon shimeji mushroom conserve, kohlrabi, and black trumpet demi-glace. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and beautifully prepared. To finish, we enjoyed the Lemon Posset with pickled blueberry compote, lavender chantilly, and English shortbread--light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. And of course, the espresso martini was a must! The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We loved Talia Kitchen so much that even if we aren't staying at the resort or spending the day at the hot springs, we'd absolutely make the trip back just for dinner. We can't wait to return!

One of my favorite restaurants in Temecula! I've only had a few things here, but what I've had…read morekeeps me coming back when I'm in the area. One of my favorite foods is a Monte Cristo sandwich. I've been eating them since I was a kid, and it's difficult to find a place that does it well. Penfold's makes a great one, so that's almost always what I order when I'm here. Turkey and ham, plus American and Swiss cheese, which is made into a sandwich that is battered and fried. Traditional toppings are sour cream and jam, preferably raspberry or blackberry. So don't eat this unless you're a savory/sweet combo person! Worth the $1.50 to get the sour cream. I love that they have a sweet potato fry or onion ring upgrade for $1.00. I always choose sweet potato for the Monte Cristo, it's the best option. But I'll have to try the onion rings some time. There are tons of breakfast and lunch options, since they're only open til 2:00 everyday. They are also known for their bakery. Cinnamon or pecan rolls that are the size of a dinner plate! You have to slice them like a loaf of bread, lol. Also available are cookies, croissants, etc. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Staff is friendly and efficient, event when they're busy. My recent visit was at noon on a Wednesday, and I was all done in under 45 minutes! And the restaurant was pretty full, since it's only the one large room. Decor is fun, in the old-timey "why did grandma collect all this stuff?" motif, lol. Comfy booths around the perimeter with tables inside and a counter back left. And parking is fairly easy in the small shopping center, but you may have to park a little ways away if they're particularly busy.

When arriving it looked like one of those good ol' cafes that have been around for a while and loved by the locals. When walking in it's filled with nostalgia, classic toys lining the ceiling and classic booths and tables. This reminded me of a restaurant called Millie's Country Kitchen that was pretty popular when growing up. We showed up at a good time, the place was just filling up and we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server took care of us, she was attentive took our orders and brought our food out with no issues. The portion sizes here are HUGE. The food was ok. I was not impressed with my pancakes, maybe the batter was not my favorite I am not sure. Maybe I should have ordered something different but overall I enjoyed my visit here. I've been spoiled in my hometown with the local diners and amazing breakfasts so maybe I'd be a difficult person to please in this category. *breakfast snob* However nobody at our table had complaints about the food and we enjoyed our outing. Would come back if in the area to try it once more. The three stars is for the food, but everything else would have been 5.

I tend to make a half day out of it and enjoy my free glass of wine and then open a bottle while enjoying lunch at Meritage. The food is excellent. I try to eat something different each time because love goes into the food. First time I had the burger and fries (duh). This time was different. Started with the Heirloom Tomato and Burrata. Plump juicy tomatoes, creamy burrata, and the crostini was perfect. Added balsamic glaze was so delicious. The waitress brought out an octopus dish, and I forget what it was called. It was chilled. Never had octopus before but she insisted that it was Chefs specialty. (Perks of a being a member). Interesting. It was very tasty, I'm just not a fan of octopus. I ordered the beef bourbuignon. The beef was so tender it fell apart barely touching it with my fork. The potatoes were creamy and the carrots/onions were like they just got pulled from the garden. Such a hearty and delicious meal with great gravy. Finally, my girlfriend got the pesto pasta (again). Same thing she got last time because she liked it so much. The pesto was some of the best I've had. Really earthy taste to the mushrooms and pesto. The pasta was perfectly cooked. Oh! And since it was my birthday, I got a bread pudding as compliments. That was wonderful. Sat a great little table near the window overlooking the vineyards. If you come here, make sure to treat yourself and order food AND wine.

Pasta is cooked al dente, has a good texture and salted well. The flavors in each are very hearty, I was surprised for Temecula, I think it's the best restaurant pasta I've had there. The burger was average, nothing crazy. Mine came out a bit dry, and can say the same for the steak as well. Apart from that, service was friendly and attentive, and the views from the restaurant looking to the winery were great.
