Bouquet Restaurant

Best brunch in wine country by far. Service and scenery are excellent. Menu is creative and elegant. I always recommend for first time visitors to temecula! The winery restaurant is great as well!

The location is breathtaking. Service is great, but they got our orders wrong twice. Also my plate was swimming in butter and I could feel my arteries clog up while I was eating. None of the dishes were anything to write home about. The beef was too dry, the pasta was swimming in butter. Come here for coffee not for food.

We came here on Sunday after our hot air balloon ride adventure. Everything in Temecula pretty much opens at 11am and we did our hot air balloon ride at sunrise. I’m really glad this was open because it was right next door to where we parked at the South Coast Winery.
It’s in the lobby of the Ponte Vineyard Inn and it’s a really quaint and cute place. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has a view of their garden courtyard and fountains. We sat inside because we were a bit cold from our excursion.
Service was really great. Everyone was so nice. They gave us little fruit muffins to start. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with beef and the cheddar chive biscuit. The biscuit was really good with butter. I didn’t eat it with the lemon curd it came with though. The Eggs Benedict was good as well. The beef was pulled beef. The potatoes were cooked well.

The food was decent but not amazing or worth the price. Realized once we got the bill it cost $ 8 to add chicken to their pasta dish, not worth it.
We had to ask them to bus the large table next to us after watching flies gather on the leftover food for 30 minutes. We won’t be returning.

Perfect spot for breakfast after a hot air ballooning adventure. Glad I was able to refuel at the bouquet!
Such a peaceful and enjoyable breakfast whilst sitting in the patio. The view made me fall in love with Mother Nature and its serenity hahah.
The beef eggs Benedict is probably one of the best I’ve had yet! Everything was balanced so nicely! The English muffin is a bit on the thinner side, so it wasn’t overbearing. The eggs were nice poached and fluffy There was a generous amount of beef in between the two. The beef was very tender and tasted light. As the cherry on top, there was a nice spoonful of hollandaise sauce. It was amazing… And for once I finished everything, not because the muffin wasn’t as thick as usual, but because it was soooo tasty.
Also, I want to add that their bacon is so thick and crunchy… Nothing was left behind!!!

Good breakfast. Sat outside, kinda slow service but hey your outside and in wine country! The bacon was amazing, mimosas were great, coffee was okay. Nice breakfast if you are staying at the hotel.

What a restaurant. GF and I stumbled in here after getting a solid buzz on at the various wineries (Wilson Creek, Donza del Sol. etc) hence why we were down to «splurge» on a nice restaurant. Immediately felt out of place as we were not only the youngest people there, but my painfully embarrassed gf spilled her Old Fashioned all over the center of our table. Subsequent this, our waitress put down a basket for my gf to put her purse in (so the purse doesn’t get dirty, very high class) but I am convinced they just didn’t want their floor dirty since we had just come from the wineries and horseback riding, and of course the spill had already occurred haha. Anyway, food was great and the service was good too. Be sure to go here before you hit the casino or else you might not want to spend the money. We did just that and ended up actually paying the dinner off on Roulette later so it all worked out! Cheers! –CW

Had high expectations for this Christmas Day dinner. Service and wine selection was spot on. All dishes didn’t quite pair their flavor profile, either too much salt or a few minutes to long on the grill, the soup matched the sauce (exactly!). Given the cost of the dinner, I would not chose to revisit.

With all the restaurant in the area closed for Christmas this was one of the few estate restaurant that was open.
Though it was good that we were able to find a restaurant with good ambience on a short notice on Christmas night, the food at the Bouquet was bit of let down.
The smoked yellowtail w trout roe (holiday appetizer special) looked great but it was too pungent even for me, who grew up eating various smoked and preserved odorous river fish.
The batter fried mix seafood was also a disappointment. Bland, luke warm and the chick pea batter made everything hard and flavorless.
The black cod was fresh but under seasoned. And the sole special was coated with a extremely salty potato batter similar to hash brown which robbed the fish of its natural flavor.
Sevice was descent enough as was the wine but for overall, for a $ 200 meal, we left underwhelmed.

Great food, and attentive service. We’ll definitely be back!

We didn’t have a 4 star experience here. The high Unilocal ratings lead us here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and we were quickly disappointed. We sat inside since the wait for outdoors would’ve been too long. We did take a short stroll outside after lunch and their courtyard and vineyard view is pretty nice so I would recommend making a reservation outside if you’re going to dine here.
Nothing about our lunch stood out. The service was friendly but felt somewhat slow and un-​attentive. We had to ask for bread, olive oil and vinegar even though other tables were served immediately and when we asked for more, nobody brought any. We ordered the mussels & clams and chicken piccata which both were just okay, nothing special. For the price of our lunch, we expected a tastier meal and in the end I would’ve much rather have spent the money somewhere else.
Also, looking at their website, it’s unfortunate that they don’t serve breakfast or brunch on Saturday which is what we were looking for to begin with.

Lots of nice extra touches. We celebrated my birthday and it was gorgeous. The food is terrific and the views are spectacular.
I had the filet mignon and my girlfriend had the sword fish. Excellent choices. Desert was complimentary from the staff. Great touch like I said. We will come back here.

Beautiful view, food was good, one star off because of the slow service. Came here for lunch and we waited an hour just for our sandwiches.

Loved this place from start to finish! If you can, sit outside!!! The view of the vineyard is really gorgeous and relaxing. Service was really great and the food was delicious.
We ordered for breakfast:
Beef Benedict– 5 stars
Salmon + Egg scramble– 4 stars
French press– 5 stars
Mimosas– 5-​stars
We will be back for lunch and dinner next time.

This place was one of the restaurants at Ponte Vineyard Inn and since we were staying there, we wanted to try it out. We went for Sunday brunch. It’s a cute little restaurant. Not at all crowded when we went, so it was nice and quiet. Beautiful with sun shining through the window. They also have tables outside if you want to enjoy your meal outside. They provide you baskets to place your purse in so you don’t have to put it on the floor too.
Ordered the Beef + Eggs Benedict, smoked salmon carpaccio, and their waffle to satisfy our sweet tooth. The waffle was nothing exciting. Just a plain waffle with some fruit. The waffle was pretty dry so I could’ve gone without that. The smoked salmon carpaccio was pretty good, but they give you a big plate of it. We ordered it with the intention of it being a started for us, when it clearly was meant to be its own entrée. Our favorite however was the beef + eggs benedict. Pretty much eggs benedict with brisket, and although it might be an odd combination, it was ridiculously amazing.
Bouquet Restaurant is a nice little place that is worth trying if you’re staying at the hotel. Doesn’t hurt that staff are very friendly. They don’t have a huge menu, but hey, they’ve got good food and that’s all that matters really.

I had a great time here with my husband for breakfast. The view is beautiful on the patio. It was a very quiet and peaceful day. My husband loved his plate; especially the beef. I enjoyed my cheddar bisquits with the lemon curd. Yum!

Burger is the best, absolutely love it, nice area very clean, also try the t red wine it is very good!

I want to award more stars but…
At this particular time, there are swarms of flies everywhere. I’m not just talking about the irritating bug here or there; I mean an absolutely unsanitary horde of insects. The plague has even made its way inside. There is no escape, people!
No way can you wander Ponte’s grounds or enjoy a meal outside on Bouquet’s covered patio.
The surrounding wineries have apparently fertilized and because those neighbors spray pesticides and other bug-​control, all of the flies find their way to Ponte (which do not spray their vines). This particular weekend, I noticed there had been a wedding. And while the whole wedding party and family seemed to be enjoying themselves, I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not the heavy fecal stench and immense pest issue had soured the whole affair.
Well now, with that lovely image ingrained, let’s talk about food.
— The blackberry crepes were okay. The whole wheat made them a bit dry and one of them was burnt along the edges.
— The lemon beignets are technically an app. They were a little too dense (more like a donut hole) and no hint of lemon came through. Probably because the vanilla crème and berry sauce were much stronger flavors. Still pretty proud of my pic, haha.
— There’s no regular breakfast sausage, but their linguica is pretty good, with a youthful kick of spice.
— The cheddar biscuits are a bit sandy and definitely in need of more butter.
— French press coffee is always a plus in my book. Not to mention the real crème and rock candy sugar sticks. Noms.
— You can custom order any juice or smoothie. Like strawberry banana. I got the watermelon juice and it was decent. A bit watery. All these juices are made in a different area of the back and brought out separately, so be sure to check your order.
Lastly, I wanna give credit where it’s due. Kelly had a fabulous attitude and gave great service. Definitely on top of things.
I appreciate Bouquet’s attempts at a first class atmosphere, but the encroaching flies at this time of year just ruin any semblance of a high quality experience. I recommend only giving this place a shot once it gets into late summer.

I ate here for breakfast with my cousin who was getting married that evening, and I was the matron of honor. We chose to sit outside to just have a quiet morning before a full day of activity, and to enjoy the spectacular views. Our waiter was kind enough to turn on the heater since it was a relatively cool morning, and that made it perfect. Since we didn’t want anything heavy in our stomachs, we chose what we thought would be smaller meals, though I would have loved to have tried some of the other offerings (I’m a sucker for crepes). I ordered the lemon beignets and my cousin ordered the wild berries & vanilla yogurt with granola. We both definitely got a lot and we could not finish our food. And both meals were absolutely delicious. The orange mascarpone cheese and strawberry glaze were perfect complements for the beignets. I tried some of the yogurt and all the flavors blended together so well. We both also ordered watermelon juice, and that was probably the only let down, but only because it was served room temperature, and it would have been much better if served chilled. The waiter also kindly prepared a presweetened latte to go for me. Food was delicious, service was wonderful… my only disappointment is that I live in another state and won’t be able to return any time soon.

If I’m 7^th wheeling with 3 kissing couples, there better be something to amuse my mouth. Good thing we came to Bouquet where the service is superb, the scenery is stunning, and the food can fuel my fire.
Major moxie in my Melon + Prosciutto. Perfect combination of perfect ingredients, plus the bites of creamy burrata were an added bonus.
The Short Rib Sandwich was on the drier side. Then again, the short rib tasted pretty good, and it was nothing a little garlic mayo can’t fix.
You may or may not agree with my assessment of the food, but you can’t argue with outdoor dining an a view. I didn’t have anyone to stare at, but believe me, the vineyards that seemed to stretch to the ends of the earth were more than enough to keep me occupied.
