I came here with my family to celebrate my aunt's birthday and everything was delicious! For my main entree I got the Cesar salad with grilled chicken. I also had a bite of my husband's meal which was delicious. We've never really had a farm to table kinda meal and this was definitely a great way to start. I also tried my sister is law's bass which was really savory. The truffle fries was amazing with the different sauces. Service was great. Ambiance was nice and clean, lots of seating. We were seated right at noon for our reservation. I highly recommend this restaurant along with the wine tasting experience. read more

Came in for the first time a few nights ago to celebrate my birthday. This place is beautiful, modern decor and felt classy and clean. Our server was nice, I didn't catch her name though. I ordered the chicken and to be honest it wasn't great at all. I wouldn't order it again. It was kind of cold; It doesn't come with side dishes, it's stuffed with lots of veggies so those basically count as the side dish. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes and it never came out even after I ask for it like 3 times. I finished my meal and the mashed potatoes still had not come out. So I asked the waitress to remove them from the order, she was nice and removed them. The hummus was absolutely delicious! The truffle fries were pretty great too. Two other people I was with stated their orders were just okay. This place is alright. I may or may not come back again we will see. It's not on my top list of wineries. read more

Hands down the best restaurant I've been to in Temecula. The menu is unique with tons of great options. Our meals were delicious and paired perfectly with their wines. The place is super clean with very friendly staff. The restrooms are clean as well. Lots of room to park. Beautiful property with their wine tasting right next door. They offer tiers of memberships that also offer shipping. read more

My bf and I were back there in February and we loved this restaurant! We did the wine tasting across at their tasting room and then walked over at our reservation time and were seated promptly! I love the ambiance and decor of this place! It has both indoor and outdoor and the outdoor seatings are open air into the indoor area. Very breezy and lovely! It has the feel of a fancy cottage . Food was delicious and drinks were yummy! We loved every single dish we ordered: octopus, steak, scallops, and the mushrooms!!! So so good! Highly recommend! read more

From the moment we arrived at Leoness Cellars, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the rolling hills of Temecula wine country, this spot effortlessly blends rustic charm with refined elegance. The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere invites you to slow down and savor every moment--especially the food. We've dined here more than once, and each visit has been consistently memorable. Most recently, we were blown away by every dish we ordered. The natural hand-cut fries were the perfect start--crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and seasoned beautifully. They paired wonderfully with the chipotle lime ketchup, garlic aioli & cajun aioli and set the tone for what turned into a spectacular meal. For entrées, we tried the New York steak and the wild boar. The steak was grilled to absolute perfection--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You could tell it was high-quality meat, cooked with care. The wild boar was a standout: rich, bold, and unlike anything you'll find elsewhere in Temecula. It was beautifully plated and accompanied by seasonal vegetables that enhanced the earthy flavors of the dish. Dessert was pure indulgence. The crème brûlée had that flawless caramelized top with a silky, vanilla-laced custard underneath. We finished our evening with French press coffee, which was strong, smooth, and a lovely, refined touch to cap off the meal. Beyond the food, the service deserves a shout-out--friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. Our server offered excellent wine pairing suggestions and genuinely seemed to care that we were enjoying ourselves. Leoness Cellars isn't just a winery with a restaurant--it's a destination in its own right. Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking to treat yourself to a phenomenal meal in a stunning setting, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend--this is one of Temecula's finest. read more

Hello and welcome to my experience at the Restaurant at Leonard's Cellars. For starters Julia was a fantastic server. The restaurant had a classy/elegant summer feel to it. We opted to eat on the outside to get the natural breeze. Fortunate for us we were directly across from the fountain where we took some personal photos after our meal. As you can see below we tried several options which not only had a good presentation but was very tasty and cooked to perfection. We did a wine tasting just prior having lunch to prepare us for the bottles we chose to pair with our meal. I ate the sea bass which was delicious. The potato puree and chopped Brussel sprouts balanced well with the dish adding depth and richness of flavor. I sampled the other dishes and easily I would have been satisfied with any of them. The shrimp was plump, juicy, fresh, and tender. The lamb chop was cooked to a beautiful medium and seasoned with the right amount of salt. The boar and carrot combo was a hit. The quail went too fast for me to get bite. The truffle fries were hot, crispy, and have an intense blast of the truffle flavor. The house made condiments worked with the fries but certainly not needed. Overall this was an amazing experience shared with family. I do highly recommend you give them a try if you are in the Temecula wine region. There are plenty of places to take great photos and even a space dedicated to ceremonies overseeing the vineyard. 4.8 of 5.0 read more

One of the best restaurants in San Diego County period. Steak is amazing, scallops were impressive.

This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere, the customer service, the AMAZING chefs! I mean I can go on and on. I took my wife for our 10 year anniversary and wow they did not disappoint! Nicole was our waitress and she is just the best! So kind, professional and she recommended the wine, the truffle fries, the shrimp scampi linguine and the seared chicken and wow!!! All 4 recommendations were AMAZING!!! The food was INCREDIBLE and Nicole was the highlight of our night! We are taking my Mother for her birthday coming up! This place is hands down 5 STARS!!!! read more

The noise level was so extreme I had to leave without eating. Have been to this restaurant 3 times before the remodel and it was wonderful. I'm so sad. I wanted to eat there again but I won't be tortured. No, really, I cannot begin to explain how loud it was at this restaurant. I have NEVER left a restaurant due to noise level before. This was a first for me. Honestly the owners can fix this. The remodel was years ago and there is no excuse for acoustics that bad. read more

We were a group of that they seated. The food was wonderful! Must get a few of the fries to start. Our waitress was attentive and quick to respond. Although we dined inside the views were still spectacular as we were in a solarium type room. We tried several dishes, lamb chops, shrimp linguine and skirt steak. All delicious! read more

I got the salad with chicken added and it was not good what so ever. The chicken was so dry. The sangria was good and my friends had the scallops they said were delicious. However, the server was polite but that was all. read more

This place tries to be fancy but the quality was lacking. The best part was the brussel sprout appetizer. For entrees, we had the New York strip steak and the lamb. To me, the steak tasted like chlorine (I would have sent it back but it was my husband's dish). The lamb was just ok. We also had the bacon fries which were nothing to write home about. In total, not worth the price. read more
