    For appetizers loved their bruschetta with strawberries and the bone marrow. Service is great. The waitress and staff are super friendly and make you feel comfortable and very welcome. It's dark and has intimate ambiance overall inside. Plays classy music which is good for date night. I wasn't a fan of their paella but I am super picky with food in general and in particular paella. They are hard to get right but overall a great experience. I loved their tres leches pudding. If I have gotten a different entree I think I would have enjoyed it better.

    The staff was friendly, the place was not crowded and the food was delicious. The food did take a little longer than expected but it was good so I didn't mind the wait. The ambiance was the perfect balance of chill and fancy. Large group friendly and parking isn't an issue. I could see myself coming back to catch up with old friends.

    I.... am literally coming back next week here.  Everything from the vegetables,  the main dishes,  the dessert was 5/5. Nichole was amazing, making sure everything was perfect for our dinner date.  Appetizer:  Mussels: Paired with their bread,  the essence of seafood and butter was bliss Pork belly: thick and perfectly rendered fat just melted in my mouth Main: Pork chop: It's really amazing how perfectly cooked this was, just where the inside was opaque but pink.  It was so juicy and tender,  I barely had to chew. The potato.. that came with assorted vegetables almost took the spotlight.  You just have to try it or I'll just sound like a snobby foodie  Jambalaya: protein galore of sausage, shrimp and crab meat.  It was not heavy at all, which ended up me licking the dish Dessert:  Tres Leches bread pudding Holy crap this is bomb.  It's that perfect moisture you want in a bread/pastry. If you rate Cinnabon up there,  this one is 10x here better.

    Herb Caesar Salad

    1st time here since we were exploring Chino Hills for the day. Lovely restaurant with friendly service. The only minor complaint was that even though we were the first customers as soon as they opened on Saturday, and a couple more tables were occupied about 1/2 hour later, our food came out very slowly. Knocked off a star for that and the prices were a bit on the expensive side for typical dishes. Food was delicious. We ordered the herb Caesar salad $14 to start (9/10); jambalaya $35 (8/10- rice seemed like it sat a bit too long that the ball of rice stuck together so it was not hot & fluffy upon arrival); candied bacon burger $26 + $3 fries upgrade (10/10- ordered w/o bun, as lettuce wrapped; meat perfectly cooked, spread had a nice spicy kick and some red pepper flakes were sprinkled on the candied bacon for some more spicy heat which was good but unexpected; upgraded to garlic parm fries and they were so yummy!). Hubby ordered stick business cocktail $16 ($2 off during HH) & he liked it (sweet & refreshing). Since it was his b-day, they brought out a crème brûlée $10 (comped) on the house for him which was a nice touch.

    Was looking for a meet up spot between Corona and Glendora to meet up with friends for dinner and this place was almost perfectly in the middle and close to the freeway. Reviews were also really good, so we made the reservation. The dishes we ordered were all good to pretty good, but we agreed there wasn't a dish that "wow'd" us. Prices did seem a little high compared to portions, like the $6 bread, $22 bone marrow with very little actual marrow (although the broth that came with it was really good - just wish I had a soup spoon haha), $14 for a pretty basic Caesar salad, $28 for a vegetarian Shrimp Bucatini (no shrimp, same price?), etc. Steak and frittes were pretty good taste and portion wise, although my GF thought the steak was a bit under cooked. A nice char on the steak would have made a big difference. My buddy also said the jambalaya was tasty but missed the spiciness he was used too. They did have happy hour on well drinks from 6-8pm and service was really pretty good, so definitely plan to return for future meet ups, but at least we know how to customize our orders for the next time!

    I finally decided to come to this place. I drive by it every day. I'm happy I did. Great spot to unwind after a long week. The atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. The burger, garlic fries and Merlot were great. Our server Mandy was very helpful with our wine choice. And was very attentive.

    Bourbon Salmon

    The husband and I were looking for somewhere new to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our neighbors suggested The Vintners Tavern and this place did NOT disappoint! First we walked in to an awesome vibe. The bar manager greeted us and sat us. Super friendly guy! Our waitress, Nichole, was amazing! Chef Rich is an awesome talented man! My husband ordered a Jade dragon. A spicier Mezcal cocktail. It was delicious. I ordered a Torii Gimlet that was phenomenal! For starters we had the garlic Parmesan fries with truffle oil and croquettes with chicken and prosciutto. Both amazing and somehow just "disappeared"! Weird! Haha for dinner I ordered the Bourbon Salmon and my husband got the candied bacon burger. Portions were amazing. I'm kind of sad I filled up on appetizers because that salmon was AMAZING! However, now I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I also went "old school" and ordered a Bees Knees for my cocktail to accompany my dinner. The desserts looked amazing but we had no room and also, I don't do desserts out because of possible cross contamination with peanuts. We raved so much to the waitress she called the chef to come out to speak with us. He's super passionate about the dishes he makes and you can taste that passion in his edible artistry he creates. We highly recommend trying them. We found a new favorite spot! Thank you CH fam for the suggestion!!

    Vinterns Burger was amazing! Meat was so juicy.

    Our first time here. Food was delicious and the customer service was on point! Mandi was amazing. We can't wait to come back.

    I haven't been many places at all since the COVID outbreak, but decided to go back to my happy place, Vintner's Tavern last night after running errands. It was so great to see everyone again! They've really set up the outside area so nicely, and I felt like I was at a comfortable distance from other diners. The menu is a little more scaled down (understandably), but there is still a good variety of items to choose from. I had the Pasture Raised Chicken, which was fantastic! Juicy and flavorful, with an amazing creamy purée and asparagus.

    Jambalaya was delicious!

Not sure if reservations are required, but this speakeasy is pretty tiny so I can't imagine it can accommodate walk ins. We had a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The door is very well hidden, I thought it'd be in a basement around the corner or something. The space is really small, so big groups are not advised. I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.

The Lanai is located in the Cravings food court area at The Station shopping center in Eastvale. There is plenty of parking available. We went inside to the Shuck Oyster bar and entered The Lanai from there. It is actually more of a tiki patio than an enclosed tiki bar. However, the tiki décor is great with plenty of bamboo, carved tiki figures, hanging puffer fish, tiki style signs, and many tropical accents. There are overhead fans spaced around in case it is hot outside. We had one round of drinks and several appetizers. The coconut shrimp and lightly battered Shishito peppers were great and the sauces paired well. We have had these appetizers at Stowaway before and they had the same good quality. She ordered the spicy tofu bites. I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but they were surprisingly really good. I had the Adrian's Mistake cocktail which was well balanced and a little on the strong side. She had the Right Of Passage which was good and had a light fruit flavor and you could definitely taste the mango. The one man show Brandon took great care of us. It was slow at this time of day so we got a chance to chat with him quite a bit and service was fast. They have a weekday happy hour from 4pm to 6pm. Although we didn't specifically order off the happy hour menu, three of our items, including both cocktails were part on it. I give it 4.3 stars but rounded up to five stars. I'm sure the ambience is much better in the evening when it more lively and dark outside. They have a good variety of munchies, and the cocktail menu has a good mix of tiki classics and some originals. I don't think there any many tiki bars in this area, so I hope they do well.

Only problem is if theyre playing music outside, every time the door opens it is so loud!! Like annoyingly blow my ear drums loud. Their drinks are very southwest themed. They have a lot of drink options to choose from. We ordered their blue sky and silver cloud. Presentation looked pretty. But the drinks were not that great. I had their silver cloud which had a mango foam on top. Tasted great, till you mixed it into the drink. The drink was way to smokey. It was so smokey it was almost bitter. I get a little smoke. But it was way too much. Any notes of mango or fruit or sweetness was lost in the smoke. The blue sky looked pretty. But after having a sip of the silver cloud it killed my taste buds. I couldn't taste anything in the blue sky. After our first round of drinks we were done. Had to go home and make myself an extremely sweet drink to get my taste buds back..... its a great concept. The price point is reasonable. 16 dollars for each drink. I do love the decor. But the vibes from the outside is distracting. If your into mezcals and smokey drinks this place is for you. But it unfortunately was not my cup of tea.

The food portions offer more plate than food and the rice comes in the shape of whatever scoop was used. After ordering more food, the waitress then told me that she should've let me know that what I ordered wasn't very popular because of the size.... Because there are only like 8 small shrimp. Beyond the problem with the portions, the taste wasn't very good. It's definitely an upgrade to Taco Bell... but consistent with Mexican food in a primarily Caucasian neighborhood. After messing up the order, they then forgot a drink I'd ordered. The restaurant was quieter than Kalaveras, which they replaced. It was much quieter and didn't have the club feel.

Our favorites were the Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji (we ordered the Classic), Chole Bhatura, and the Jaamun Shot. The Papdi Chaat was exactly what we expected and was decent. The Bhel Puri and Pani Puri were probably our least favorite dishes. For the pani puri, the pani was bland and lacking flavor and the puri barely had any filling. The Bhel Puri was more tart than I expected and could have used a bit more green chutney and sweet chutney. I didn't try it myself, but my father-in-law ordered the Masala Jaljeera and he didn't seem to be a big fan. He mentioned that maybe he should have ordered the Kokum Jeera Soda instead. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance casual. Service was a little slow at the beginning, but once we placed our order, the food came out very quickly. I do wish they had given us a little more time to enjoy a few dishes before bringing out the rest. Our table felt pretty crowded when everything came out at the same time and we were shuffling dishes to make space while we ate. To be fair, we ordered a lot of food, and we probably could have asked for the dishes to be brought out in stages. Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars, though I'd probably place it somewhere between 3.5 and 4. I'd definitely come back to try other menu items if I was in the area.
