"When not being sourced from the Temecula Creek Inn garden or nearby farms, executive sous chef Sterling King (a San Diego Culinary School graduate) forages ingredients locally for dishes across his rustic-American menus. Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner – the bar menu offers a cheese board with local honey, plus smaller versions of the poutine, and carnitas nachos, while standouts from dinner include the burrata with peach and sorrel pistou, a crab salad, and local halibut with chorizo broth. A good selection of local and regional California wines are available on tap or ‘by the stem,’ and there’s a great signature cocktail list too – try the gin-based blackberry bramble." - Keri Bridgwater

Nice views sitting over the golf course next to the butterfly garden and waterfalls. The service was a little slow but with the view that was okay. The food was really good. I have never had a coddled egg. When I asked the server what it was, he said he did not like cuddled eggs until he tried this and now he loves them. On his recommendation. I gave it a try and it is a definite repeat meal for me! Thank you for the recommendation

Came to this spot about 2 weeks ago, and this place was absolutely what we were looking for. The ambiance was great, and the view of the golf course was amazing. We wanted a brunch style morning, and they delivered Now, onto the food and service. The food and drinks were amazing. Margaritas hit the spot! We ordered the hummus and pita bread. The pita was so airy and perfect. We also got the chilequiles, eggs, Benedict, and an omelet. Every this was spot on hands down a 5 star rating. It went hand in hand without great service. Tristin was our server, and he was there for whatever we needed. Very respectful, great eye contact, and on top of it! I would definitely come back and recommend it to others!

I wish I could give 100 stars. This place is amazing. The food is well priced and is always delicious, the staff are all friendly and beyond wonderful and the views can’t be matched. Shout out to Eric at the bar for always giving outstanding service and making the best drinks around!!

We enjoyed eating here. The service was so kind and professional. The food was beautifully presented, but over priced in my opinion. We could sit overlooking the golf course, so definitely an above average view. I would eat here with friends. They had high chairs as well as plenty of parking. I recommend eating the appetizers-the hummus was incredibly good and the chicken wings were, well, chicken wings!

The restaurant is next to a golf course, so we had a nice view from our table to the golf course. The servers were good, but i felt they rushed out out after finishing our meal. We came for brunch and the food was absolutely delicious. You cant go wrong with either the chilaquiles or the french toast. The drink called youre turning violet violet, was good but not blown way. Overall good place to go eat brunch if youre local.

Exceptional dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious—both the Angus burger and the eggs benedict were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing brunch. The staff’s friendly and attentive service truly elevated the experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking great food and a welcoming ambiance!

I read reviews and wanted to try something new since I’m working in the area. I only ordered bread pudding to go and waited the 25mins.I cannot recommend the bread pudding and felt they should have just refunded me and said it had clearly cooked too long b/c I couldn’t pick up with my fork. To say it was crunchy would be an understatement. Very dissatisfied. (Unable to load the video of not being able to pick up with my fork!) How does any1 serve me something they couldn’t or wouldn’t eat!

If you find yourself in Temecula and need a nice dinner out, surprisingly, it is more difficult than expected. Luckily, Corkfire Kitchen saved us! It's an adorable restaurant with elevated dining, nestled in the Temecula Creek Inn property. Don't let the fact that it's on a hotel property dissuade you! It's delightful. The service is incredible, and there are plenty of options on the menu. I went with a kale salad and pork chop. The salad was a 5 out of 5, and the pork chop was absolutely solid. Friends got the lobster mac n cheese, duck confit and lamb shank. Those were all hits. We had to skip dessert, but I would absolutely return. Well done! 👏 👏

Cork Fire Kitchen on Rainbow Canyon Rd is the epitome of elegance. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a staff that redefines great service. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic date night, especially when the back is lit up at night, creating a beautifully serene atmosphere. The meal was nothing short of what you'd expect from a 5-star restaurant. I had the Ora King Salmon, which was presented exquisitely and tasted even better. Every dish we tried was a testament to culinary excellence. If you're looking for a place to escape from the kids and enjoy some quality time with your significant other, Cork Fire Kitchen is your sanctuary. No kids, no problems--just you, your partner, and an evening of relaxation and fine dining. It's also a great excuse to leave your beloved furry animal at home and truly focus on each other. In summary, Cork Fire Kitchen is highly recommended for anyone seeking an elegant night out. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a much-needed break, this spot delivers on every front.

Location: 5/5 Located inside the Temecula Creek Inn. Overlooking the beautiful golf course. Location is beautiful if you can get a table by the window. Parking available on site. Food: 1/5 One star for presentation but the food was horrible. The brussel sprouts are very soggy and bitter. The drinks are horrible too, taste worse than medicine. The entrees are a letdown too. Scallops were super salty. Salmon is crispy on the outside but not fully cooked inside and lacks flavoring. The lamb shank was not bad but I had better. The potatoes are so plain - imagine some Dutch potatoes slightly salted and done by a starving college student. Service: 2/5 Zero star for the guy who served as at the bar. What service and why so aggressive? We have reservations and was early but felt pressured to eat at the bar to celebrate a birthday. Drinks were horrible but he didn't bother to ask so how's everything?? If you don't like your drink, don't bother asking for something else because there don't have any sense of customer service. One star for the female server for dinner service. She was definitely nicer and more hospitable. But didn't ask us if we were celebrating a special occasion. We made special reservations to celebrate a dear friends birthday but I feel so bad because we were not acknowledged. We asked for a table with a window view but they flat out refused us but there were empty tables.

Came here after a work training on a Monday evening Had a 7:15 reservation for 3 and we arrived at 7 and had to wait until 7:15 to be seated If I could give it 3.5 stars I would Ambiance- 5/5 Beautiful view of golf course Nice decor Service-5/5 friendly server and prompt service Food-3/5 I ordered the pork chop and it was cooked well but was extremely salty. The collard greens were good but not sure it went well with it.

We keep coming back to dine at Cork Fire Kitchen because the food and service is always good. There seems to be new items on the menu each time, though I am glad the coddled egg breakfast is still on the menu-it's one of my favorites. My meal today started with a Bloody Mary, which was a meal in itself and so yummy. There was just enough horseradish to give it a little bit of a delicious kick, a slice of bacon, and two green olives. Appetizer was the dry rub chicken wings, which tasted like it was coated in crushed BBQ potato chips and garnished with colorful sliced carrots. Beware--they were messy and left orange remnants all over our mouth and on our hands. While they were tasty and cooked well, I'll pass on these next time for something not so messy! The entree was carnitas chilaquiles, shared with hubby. Layers of tortilla chips covered in the delicious carnitas in a green sauce and topped with two eggs. It's a really big portion and I was glad we shared it. The restaurant has comfortable seating and is nicely decorated. We like the booths next to the windows where you can watch golfers finishing up at the 18th hole and the decorative waterfall/pond. After our meal we strolled through their chefs garden. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we will be back!

The interior of this restaurant is pleasing, and the outside view is just super relaxing and vibrant. We went to try the Cast Iron Brussels Sprouts, the Orange Pomegranate Salad, the Icelandic Salmon, the Mary's Farms Airline Chicken Breast, and the Crispy Pork Belly. For dessert, we also tried the bread pudding. The staff were attentive and offered if there was anything else they could get for us and ensured that excellent service and experience were provided. We were overall satisfied with the food and the service provided. - Brussels sprouts: the sriracha aioli went very well with the brussels sprouts, and the serving was also reasonable for the price. - Orange pomegranate salad: the vinaigrette has the right citrusy flavor that balances the spinach, sliced orange, and pecans in one bite. - Icelandic salmon: the skin was crispy and spectacular, although the inside did not look as cooked as how we preferred our salmon to be served. - Chicken breast: very tender; the flavor of the tomato and the artichoke goes very well with the chicken. - Crispy pork belly: the cabbage went very well with the pork belly, and the consistency and overall flavor were perfect. - Bread pudding: every bite was worth it; the caramel drizzle on top of the vanilla ice cream with the bread pudding was phenomenal.

Great location wonderful breakfast I highly recommend the chilaquiles! The chicken and waffles were delicious as well.

Cork Fire Kitchen is in the heart of Temecula and is a wonderful spot for brunch, lunch or dinner. The cool thing about Cork Fire is most of their food is for sharing so you can order a bunch and share. It is all great and you will love it. We were there for dinner. The place has parking as well as some street parking. Make a reservation. The service is excellent. They know the menu well and can help you with sharing options and non sharing options. We tried a lot of it. The staff is so sweet, the place is so pretty and it is kept looking wonderful. We had salmon belly tacos with toasted corn salad, pickled red onion and salsa rioja. We loved the crispy pork belly with celery root schnitzel, savoy cabbage and barley. The cast iron Brussel sprouts were so good with crispy pork belly, sriracha aioli and grana padano. The wild mushrooms, sort of a side dish, along with splendid mashed potatoes was just so creamy and wonderful. We ordered 2 of those. We also ordered from the non sharing menu (but we shared anyway) diver scallops with kaffir lime nori emulsion, lemon spaetzle with a taste of apple, kohlrabi and basil, with roasted maitake mushrooms. Just yum. The fish and chips were great. We all loved the chips and the fish was tempura mahi mahi, with white soy tartar sauce. We ate a lot of food. We had to try dessert so we went with ricotta donut holes and a cast iron bread pudding. These were not stand out for us, but they were very good and not one was left. It is nice and cool in there. It was so hot the evening we were there. The place is relaxing and there are great windows with a nice view of the gold course. Try it.

I love this place! The atmosphere is nice, cozy, and inviting. The food is incredible from breakfast to dinner. What's even better is that everyone, even a 2 year old will find something delicious to enjoy. Plus, the team here is top notch friendly and attentive.

This was an easy 5 stars, starting with walking in the door. The decor was incredible and then the view of the golf course tops that. Staff were friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was excellent. The Açaí Bowl looked like it belonged on the cover of a magazine and the huevos rancheros very also very good. Can't wait to go back, play a round of golf and then get a bite to eat.

Yelp
Ordered the scallops and they had not been cleaned well...gritty. We told the server who went and got the manager. She offered dessert of which we did not want as we had a cake at home for the special occasion. She left and did not offer to comp the meal. We had to ask the server if meal could be comped. They deducted $25 for corkage fee. Beautiful place but disappointed that we encountered this situation. ​

Really great location, cute ambiance. We went here for a pre-wedding brunch the day before my sister's wedding and it was perfect for bloody mary's and mimosas! The spicy bloody mary I ordered was so good, bartender did an awesome job! He was also our server, and he was fantastic, great service! We ordered the nachos to share and fries to snack on and both were delicious! Highly recommend, we will for sure be back!

I'm giving it a star for the receptionist and second server. They were friendly and welcoming. However, the food was pretentious and bland. Not worth the wait, the drive, and the money. Go to in-n-out. Location/ ambience: nice and rustic Appetizers: Salmon Bao was fishy and too much dough (if you want to create a fusion then be respectful for the individual cuisine). Brussels sprouts were forgettable. Main dish: scallop was unbearably salty. Lamb shank was too gamey. Dishes were not hot when served. Once again, the main protein was not cooked with respect. There was a lack of flavor and depth. I expected so much since the menu was quite short and precise. However, I was disappointed and baffled at how many stars this place has on yelp.

Beautiful outdoor seating over looking the golf course. It's a little warm today, and it's doable. The service was good and friendly. The food was ok for a $20 brunch. Feel like it's missing something. The portion is a little lite. Maybe a side of Pico or something to freshing it up.

Service and ambiance were very good. We were looking forward to the octopus only to find out it was removed from the menu. Very disappointing. Burger and pasta were nothing special.

I love Cork and Fire, super great with customer service, food is fresh, especially if you want to eat a nice breakfast/brunch area. Location wise is great for view of Temecula, and insta worthy place. If you are planning to do a venue party, they offer wedding events, party events, and birthday events. Will be back for sure!

We ate here several times and ordered room service while staying at the Inn. The minute you step in, you experience the mid century modern meets ranch vibe. The square bar offers great seats to watch the game or to enjoy the oak trees and views. The main dining room is really pleasant with large windows that look over the beautiful golf course. Service is super friendly and professional. The bartenders are very accommodating and have a wonderful attitude. Our servers were all really good, and they were there when you wanted something but gave you space to enjoy the food and conversation. The breakfast is really top-notch with an array of creative options that were totally new to me. We tried: Turkish poached eggs with garlic yogurt sauce, Barbacoa eggs Benedict with chimichuri hollandaise, huevos rancheros, Brioche French Toast, burrata omelette, and the açaí bowl. Everything was excellent with the eggs perfectly cooked. Cocktails are excellent, too. The Bloody Mary was a standout serviced with a slice of bacon and lots of olives and citrus. It had the perfect blend of horseradish and chili sauce. We enjoyed the coffee, but it was a little hit or miss probably depending on who made it! All of the people at the wedding we attended agreed that lunch and dinner were also excellent. We ate one night in old town Temecula, but we easily could have just stayed on campus the whole time. I highly recommend this place!

What an amazing way to start the day at Cork Fire Kitchen in Temecula. An amazing dining experience, great customer service, and ambiance galore overlooking the golf course. We started with drinks. Coffee and OJ for me and my wife had the Cappuccino. Brock and Nathan were both excellent, and the place was hopping. Very popular. My wife ordered the homestyle breakfast, and I had the herb and Burrata omelet. Both dishes were simply amazing, and the ingredients were so fresh. Probably the best breakfast we have had in a while, and we try them all. Highly recommended!

If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would! We found this place online and we were not disappointed. The view in almost any seat of this place is spectacular. It overlooks the golf course and a beautiful waterfall. The menu is made with ingredients from there garden (which we could see being watered from our view) they had organic options and that's all before we even ate anything. We order chilaquiles and huevos rancheros they were Delicious!! The strawberry champagne salad was also amazing. Then we ended our meal with this ooey gooey but crispy bread pudding. It was amazing. The service was also fantastic. Our waiter, Christian I think was kind and attentive and gave great recommendations. We plan to come back for dinner. Also!! The prices were not outrageous for breakfast/brunch. We've gone to terrible restaurants and paid more. Lastly and this is weird because I've never said this in a review but their bathrooms were tip top clean and sound proof. I mean extra stars just for that. I've been to high end restaurants whose bathrooms made me want to puke.

Go for the views... not the French toast. The staff were all super super friendly and attentive. The restaurant opens early which is convenient, especially if you are staying at the Temecula Creek Inn. The menu has very limited options, though I supposed that's due to the scope of hours they are open. Would recommend having separate breakfast , lunch and dinner menus so that more robust options can be offered. Also not very vegan friendly , there are a few vegetarian breakfast options if you like oatmeal or açaí. The coffee was smooth. The French toast was a little soggy on the inside for my preference. However I did like that the French toast was not overly sweet. Pictures don't do the views justice. It is peaceful here, go for a coffee and perhaps bring a book.

We went to grab dinner tonight. We got seated by the fireplace since there were no other seats available & we didn't make a reservation. Fine... Waited more than 30 minites but no server at the scene. Notified the front desk/receptionist but still no one for another good 20 minutes. So we left. The receptionist lady with glasses clearly saw us leaving but no apoligies, no goodbyes, nada, to me that was very unprofessional. I know we didn't make a reservation and was a busy Sunday evening but wish someone could inform us what is going on or simply don't take us in, simply tell us "we are too busy at the moment", or "short staffed" or give us some other execuses! We felt literally left alone, abandoned.. wasted our quality family time after family golf.

Rebecca L.

Yelp
I love the ambience of this place it's so beautiful overlooking the golf course. I've dined here several times and it seems the menu has just changed. We ordered several items and enjoyed all of them, But the New York steak seemed to be the favorite. We had the opportunity to meet the Chef and he was delightful, I hope you keep this guy around! Service was just ok, waitress kept disappointing and was not very attentive. Overall I will be back but hopefully with a different waitress.

Was able to easily make a last minute reservation for 2 for breakfast. It took about 10 minutes for our table to be ready but once we were sat the service was quick. I had a loose leaf tea and it was yum. I ordered the huevos rancheros without egg and it was good, the potatoes it came with would've been better seasoned and the salsa used was a bit spicy. The view from where we were sitting was gorgeous as this restaurant overlooks the golf course.

Beautiful, warm, intimate dining experience at Cork Fire Kitchen. What a beautiful spot for our surprise date night. My husband picks local places to try and this one was perfection. Our server was sweet and knowledgeable and between us we downed 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. Off the cuff, the octopus tacos were a triumph. Tender and seasoned to perfection. We both agreed next time to order another round of them! The hummus with blueberries and feta sounded different but was delicious and served with crispy fry bread you will not want to pass on! We agreed the vegan wild mushroom risotto was a flavor paradise and I enjoyed my perfectly cooked salmon and my husband loved his pork chop. All I can say is 6 stars? We will be back!

Came here for dinner, arrived early but very crowded so they couldn't seat us until the main dining area opened up. Ordered 3 appetizers, Waldorf salad and scallops. The shrimp appetizer was bland not much flavor , wouldn't recommend. The Brussel sprouts were ok, the Waldorf salad was good , and scallops were good. Service was mediocre , long wait to get food, drinks didn't come until we asked a second time where they were. We had to call for service versus her asking if we needed anything and checking on us .

The restaurant has spectacular views of the golf course. The cocktails are amazingly delicious, the food is scrumptious. I wanted to give a raving review to Chris that helped us change tables, so that we could dine with an amazing- beautiful view of the golf course. Chris was not only nice, he was very attentive to detail and all our needs...

Daniel A.

Yelp
Mid. Burger was really good. Fries tasted like they been sitting out for 2 hours. Weirdly brought out 1of our 3 appetizers and a single entree followed by 10 minutes before the rest of the food came out. Most of the food was good just inconsistent with random food, service aspects throughout the experience.

My wife and I ate a late lunch @ Cork Fire Kitchen located at the Temecula Creek Inn and Golf Course. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. I ordered the Mahi Mahi Tempura Fish & Chips (potato chips made at the restaurant) w/a draft Blond Ale and my wife ordered the Waldorf Burrata Salad. Both our meals were delicious and service by the bartender was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend trying this establishment

We stayed at the Temecula Creek Inn when house-hunting several years ago before we moved to Temecula. So while we had had enjoyed breakfast/brunch at Cork|Fire, we had never been there for dinner. All that was remedied recently when we met up with friends for an evening trifecta of great drinks, great food and great company at Cork|Fire. Up first, cocktails! The holy hand grenade was delicious, not too sweet and beautifully garnished, and tableside smoking of some old-fashioneds is always fun. While the creamy cider vinaigrette on my Waldorf burrata salad was yummy, I didn't think there was enough "stuff" in the salad (apples, grapes, celery and pecans). For the main course, the diver scallops with lemon spaetzle was excellent - perfectly seared with an incredible sauce. My husband had the wagyu flat iron steak which was delicious as well. I rarely order dessert when dining out. I do a LOT of baking at home and have pretty high standards in this regard. But if I see something interesting - like the donut holes - or a lemon dessert, I'm in! Our table had the ricotta donut holes and the berry tart. While I really enjoyed the donut holes (but would ask for extra whiskey caramel sauce next time), my husband wasn't wild about them. You get six large warmed donut holes which have the texture of a cake donut (which I prefer) instead of a lighter yeast donut. The berry tart however, was nothing to write home about. I found the chocolate pastry shell to be way too thick and while I love that they use local berries which were good, the custard was disappointing. Service was great, ambiance is warm and overall, our cocktails & meals were excellent. So this dinner experience, coupled with several awesome breakfasts and lunches awhile back, merit Cork|Fire a five-star rating in my book!

We went for our 36th wedding Anniversary & had a wonderful time. We were treated so well, the service from the hostess to the server, & all staff members was 5 Star. The whole dining experience was well done! We started with a really excellent smoked old fashioned, then the Brussels sprouts starter & a wedge salad. My husband had the pork chop entree & I had scallops with large prawns, both paired with wine. They brought a complimentary anniversary dessert as a surprise at the end. We highly recommend Cork Fire and we'll definitely go back, too!

After an nice evening stroll in the park, a new friend of mine on a whim decided we go to her favorite restaurant in Temecula for a late snack. Her eyes lit up as she described how wonderful Cork Fire Kitchen is. As I followed her in my car, I was enchanted by the seemingly off road and hidden path and seeing strung lights upon arrival. At night, there's a magical, very Christmas-y feel to the experience, especially if you've never been here before! I was even more surprised to see the nicely designed and decorated interior similar to the restaurants you find in Wine Country. It's a casual country club that's open to the public. We were immediately welcomed and seated and our server was one of the sweetest I've ever met. They close at 9:00pm on a weekday, but she told us not to rush. We and another party stayed and chatted after our meal until 10:00pm. I ordered the yummy maple wings and my friend ordered a cake. Food was delicious, but it's primarily the ambiance and service that has won me over. Being at Cork Fire is such a special treat!!

Cork Fire in another wonderful place to grab Brunch, while sitting back and relaxing on a Sunday morning. We came here on New Year's Day, and both the bar and restaurant were packed. Thankfully, we had made reservations several weeks ahead. We had to waited several minutes for our table, but we were cool with that. The food was very good, with the star being their Coddled Egg dish with Gruyère cheese. We also tried their Nachos appetizer, Beef Barbacoa Benedict and Two Eggs Homestyle. Even though it was a rainy day, we enjoyed watching the golfers trying to dodge the drops and get a hole in before it came down. Four Stars. Expect to pay $30 or so each, not including more for the mixed drinks

This will probably be the best breakfast experience you've ever enjoyed. First the scenery is excellent, it really sets the mood. Staff is kind and attentive. Green flags only. The food was absolutely delectable. We came for the churro waffle, but it is currently removed from the main menu unless you order on the kids menu. We ordered two of them and it was one of the best decisions ever made! They taste exactly like churros, a crispy waffle with a delicate soft inside and sugar evenly and thoroughly sprinkled. I got garden fresh and eggs (I forgot the official name) and it was amazing. It has a oily seeming vinaigrette with sweet peppers, spinach, roasted tomatoes, and a sunny side egg on top. It was so flavorful and fresh! The potatoes have a crispy outside but still remaining its soft inside. From the scrambled eggs to the toast everything was truly perfect! And I mean even the loose leaf tea is great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We got off to very rocky start last night. When we arrived we waited at the hostess stand and no one helped us. When the hostess finally arrived, I let her know that we had a 7pm dinner reservation. The hostess abruptly let us know that they were slammed so our dinning options were the bar or to sit outside (it was cold). I was skittles annoyed because what's the point of making a reservation and receiving a confirmation if we couldn't have an actual table. We decided to sit outside.When we got to the table it took a good minute for someone to help us . When our server came she was absolutely the sweetest person ever. Her name was Nicole and she began to turn our experience around. We did try to order the jalapeno cornbread blossom but they were sold out, so we decided to get the blueberry hummus, which was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the fish and chips. The chips were "okay" but the fish was amazing. It fell off the fork and was so light. My husband got the grilled Cesar salad and added prawns and it was fabulous as well. Nicole brought out a birthday treat for my husbands birthday. Thank you Nicole for your outstanding service and kindness. We will be coming back in the future, just maybe not during the holidays when they are so busy.

A delicious dinner place that will you wanting more! We found this place while staying by the inn, and we saw the advertisement on the freeway too. You do have to drive in a bit to find it but it'a well worth the wait. Their menu is as long as the drink menu, perfect for a lovely date evening. We started off with cheese platter and some drinks. Their drinks especially their smoke ones are amazing! And their cheese plate just hits the spot, a perfect way to start the evening. For dinner we moved onto steak and duck and those might be some of the best entrees we've ever had. Cooked perfectly and veggies that makes you crave more. After all that we moved onto stuffed desert and it was with every single bite. By the time we were done we were in a giant food coma. The prices were very reasonable and the service was amazing. I recommend everyone to check out this place for dinner, you will never forget it!

One of the best steaks in town. We love date night here. The view of the sunset and the golf course is beautiful. The service is always great. Management is always on top of it.

Been here 4times in the last 6 months since moving to Temecula last year and I would say, it's always a pleasant experience. Views especially in the morning is beautiful. Not too busy too, so it's the perfect breakfast date spot. We had pork carnitas and pancakes and it was delish. We came a little bit early for our dinner reservation one time and we were told we can sit at the bar while waiting. I had espresso martini and i loved it. It's been my got-to drink here. Also, when I think of caesar salad, I instantly think of Cork Fire's because it is absolutely delicous, add salmon & you're good to go. Just to note, dinner service could take a little longer for the food to arrive, but it was worth it.

The food was very good. Patio view was great too if you get a table right next to the balcony rail. Service was great! I made a reservation asking for a table on the rail for the best view for a special birthday celebration. However, when i got there, there was no available seating by the rail (they apparently did not reserve one for us). so was put at a table back from the rail. To see the view, you had to uncomfortably look through the table in front of you. The food and service there were excellent though. - except for the reservation mishap.

Hostess was amazing. Showed up at 1 for our reservation ended up at the bar for an hour waiting for our table. Ordered the bottomless mimosas, yummy. Table was finally ready at 2 . We were told our bottomless mimosas were done and brunch was over. Ridiculous. Ordered the chicken sandwich and when it came we had no bacon jam. We asked for a new sandwich, instead the manager came and asked us to leave. We left hungry. Our favorite place became the worst place. So sad.
