Cool little winery with shops and a little museum nestled in a residential neighborhood. Decent food, decent wine. 20 bucks for a tasting board. Cool place to bring the family.

We wanted a nice, relaxed evening after a busy work week so went to the RB winery. Last time we dined here we got served like in a regular restaurant. This time it was without service, an upgraded In-n-Out or Wings-n-Things experience, but with high prices. Just like at In-n-Out or Wings-n -Things you order yourself inside (inside dining is gone), pay, and take a number to your table, so an employee can bring out the food. Employees, including behind the register, are all pleasant and nice. In order to get our wine to accompany our dinner, my husband had to walk to a different place at the RB winery, where wine tasting happens, pay separately there, and walk back with bottle and glasses to our table. You get water yourself from a water station at the restaurant. Sorry, but that's not a "dining" experience. If you have the concept of a fast food place you shouldn't call yourself a winery/restaurant anymore. The food was okay, we had a board with Ciabatta bread with all the goodies, cheese, charcuterie, artichoke, meatballs, from the menu. The bread itself was too hard and too much of a crust to be used as such, and the prosciutto wasn't the best quality. The wine, a bottle of Petit Syrah, was nice. We've had way better experiences at other wineries around Temecula and at this restaurant before things changed. Atmosphere is nice because of the location and decoration, but we don't go to a winery for a dining experience to get an "upgraded fast food experience".

Last October I started going to The Kitchen. The pizzas and salads are very good. But what really makes the experience amazing, every time, is Maribelle. She is a hard worker, remembers me each time and has a heart of gold.

We loooved coming here all these years and really bummed about the recent changes. Seems like the quality of food really began to suffer in the past 3+ months and the transition from the sit down restaurant service to cafeteria style tainted the whole experience. Not sure what triggered the change, but it really isnt the same

Food was fantastic!!!!Service not so much. Difficult to get anyone willing to clean off a table for us to sit even though my husband was holding our salad sitting next to an empty table. After asking 3 people found someone willing to take the dirty dishes away but not willing to wipe the table off. Food was delicious and delivered in a timely basis.

A must see while visiting San Diego & exploring hidden treasure sites...Great food, ambience and a stroll with a glass of wine for a few hours or a laid back afternoon of a wonderful meal from The Kitchen and relax for the afternoon...A little piece of Europe in San Diego!

Super solid appetizers from The Kitchen. The charcuterie plate and bruschetta were a nice pairing with our wine from next door. The order came out promptly and accurately. Not life changing, but confidence instilling enough for us to return to try more of their menu.

The food was great , nothing like a fresh bread and sauces, but didn't like the fact we had to bus our table when we had the chance to sit. No wait service , had to wait for someone to do a search and find to bring us our food. No one to ask for help or extra anything, we had to get things for ourselves, but pay regular high prices For cafeteria style eating. Very sad about the changes (so not classy)Kid-friendliness: Space for kids to run and food that kids will love to eat

Fabulous location and setting. Was extremely busy. Food was good and service a bit slow.Kid-friendliness: Lots of things to keep kids engaged.Parking: Street and parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Well designed access for wheelchairs in many places.
Finally made it here. :)The restaurant currently only have tables outside. Not really an issue as you can people watch and enjoy the beautiful days and fresh air.Friendly service and really good food.We went there for lunch and shared a cheese and meat board that was surprisingly very filling. Then we had the pear and Gorgonzola pizza which it was outstanding. All enjoyed with a bottle of their Syrah.Super nice afternoon. We enjoyed a great atmosphere and amazing delicious food. :)

The food is good, ambience relaxing, and service slow, but acceptable. However, they have a new paperless process for paying that is ripe for abuse. The waitress shows you an electronic screen at your table with a half dozen selections for tips, the lowest being 18%. She taps your credit card on the machine, and you are done. The total bill before tip is not presented, nor is there a tabulation of what you ordered and the total. You can’t tell if you were charged correctly for what you ordered. Recommendation: I am sure the electronic screen can show a tabulation of what was ordered and the total. Ask for it. If you liked the service and want to leave a 15% tip, which is what I normally do, ask for that option.

Would come back just for the ricotta and chutney, so so tasty and high quality. Took forever for the pizza to come out but the crust is to die for, crispy with a chew.

Ambience is very nice and decorative especially during the holidays.The front desk service man was able to seat us without reservations on a busy afternoon so we were VERY appreciative of that. He made it happen.Our server was cheerful and provided excellent service. She appeared to be one of the few servers and was swamped however kept a happy face. Recommend they hire additional staff but I understand the current market.Food was delicious. The bruschetta appetizer was amazing. Pizza was tasty and the sangria wine pours were very generous.
