I wrote about my dining experience in my review of the winery. Long story short is the kitchen and management staff assured me that our luncheon for a group would be good and the experience would be memorable. It was memorable as it was the WORST service I have ever experienced. 1 hour and 5 minutes before the entrees arrived for the 1st guests, and this was after 25 minutes of waiting for drinks and orders to be taken. it should have been a very smooth lunch service. I arranged for a pre-set salad, choice of 4 entrees only, and dessert. They did not pre-set the salads. They claimed that if they set them out before the guests got seated that they would get warm and start to wilt... What a crock of ___! It took them almost 15-minutes to take drink orders and then come back to serve them. Then they brought out the (PRE-SET) salads, then they started to take the entree orders. After taking the orders, 1 hour and 5 minutes before the 1st entree arrived, and then another 40 minutes for the last one to arrive.Because of my dining experience, I will never go back to this winery or restaurant...

I tend not to review wineries because there is a cloying similarity about them. Most have some good wines. Most have some mediocre to bad wines. Some have some very good wines. Many have pourers who try to convince their clients that all their wines are great. Go from one winery to another, and pretty soon you can recite the spiel ahead of being told.Miramonte winery is a pretty winery which is producing wines from grapes usually associated with Portugal and Spain. As such, the wines are unique and pleasantly different. Some people, more used to âCalifornia Fruit Bombsâ may find them a bit short on the finish, but, if they understand âold Worldâ wines, they will find them to be pleasant and nice to pair with food. The number of very nice wines, if one is familiar with and enjoys old world wines, was pretty high.We came to Miramonte via a Groupon for a tasting tour, only to find, after an hour-long Uber drive from San Diego (so that we could drink responsibly), that we were supposed to make reservations for the tour. (Sorry, Groupon, but four of us missed it. Must have been hidden in the really, really fine print.) We decided to go for the tasting without the tour and use the difference in the Grouponâs tour cost for some items from the winery gift shop. We were not happy. Nor did our first pourer do much to change that. He was busyâ¦wellâ¦pouring. And, it was drizzling outside so the view was less than spectacular. Much less.Enter Sal. Sal spotted us at the wine bar and âadoptedâ us and became our pourer. Sal was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and great with the wines. His warmth and friendliness took the edge off the glitch and put smiles on our faces. He told us of his favorite wines and whispered that some of the wines, notably one of the ports, would be an especially good buy if we could wait another month or so before opening it. Then we all laughed about how long we wait before opening a bottle. Silly, but nice.Miramonte is nice, but if you go there, try the wines, enjoy the view that we missed because of the rain, and ask for Sal.

Enjoyed dinner here in September 2010. We had done the tour of the winery and decided to come by for dinner one evening. Very nice restaurant overlooking the vineyards. Enjoyed the sunset behind the mountains. Very good set menu dinner. Good,friendly service too. Solarium dining.

Wineries are becoming more plentiful in the Temecula Valley, however, Leoness Cellars remains a favorite. The addition on new landscaping and water features, as well as a lower terrace for members, makes it a wonderful respite and escape nestled into private hillside. The restaurant has always been a favorite of our Triumph Sports Car Club. The remodeling gives it a distinctly French Bistro atmosphere as does the menu. Our favorites from this visit were the Chef's Potage with Bacon and Olive Oil, the Beet Salad with Goat Cheese, Jidori Chicken with Fois Gras Stuffing, and my Prawns served on a slice of chiabatta with a wonderful saffron sauce....and an array of their fine red wines. Go, escape to Leoness Cellars and Enjoy!

I have had lunch here a couple times now with friends. What a find! The service has always been excellent. The food is terrific. The dining is on a beautiful open-air patio. On my first visit, there were six of us. Everyone enjoyed their lunches. The owner happened to notice us and came over to introduce himself and ask after our lunches. He wanted to know if we had tried the soup of the day. When we said no, he ordered a bowl to be sent to the table. He had just had it for lunch and said it was not to be missed. The restaurant was fairly new at the time of our first visit in November of 2017. The owner was obviously very proud of his restaurant as he should be. We were disappointed in May when the same six stopped for lunch only to learn that it was closed for the day in order to handle some maintenance issues. We will be back another time.

This was our 3rd and LAST winery of our Temecula tour. Last because the wines were amazing, the food was outstanding, and the experience was everything you want in a wine tasting. Our server took time to explain every wine to us in great detail. She was so great I absolutely had to become a member. And once I did, my group was escorted to the VIP area where we had some great food. This is an absolute Must Stop when in Temecula.

Loved this place. Our waitress Ms Peffercorn was a joy. So kind and so helpful. We tried a wine tasting (pic 3) they have it displayed so beautifully, our food (see pictures) was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and the prices was reasonable!! When in Temecula you really should try this place out!!
