The Cellar Lounge - Temecula

I was excited to enjoy some drinks after a fantastic meal at the Ponte restaurant, just before heading to our room at the Ponte Inn. As we made our way down...

2.5 stars... We were staying at the Ponte and looking for a nice dinner option when we found this restaurant within our hotel complex that features live music. We kicked off the evening with a bottle...

This is an amazing underground bar! We visited last Saturday night and enjoyed a fantastic live performance. The music was decent—classic rock and roll.

This is a fantastic underground bar! We visited on a Saturday night and enjoyed a cool live performance. The music was decent; it was classic rock and roll, which isn't exactly our style, but we appreciated the live atmosphere. The drinks were pricey, but the dessert was absolutely delicious. All in all, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks in a cozy setting with live music.

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, but unfortunately, it falls short in several areas. I found the food to be quite disappointing; I ordered bruschetta, which tasted like old tomatoes and lacked freshness. The bread was overly hard and difficult to chew. We also tried the steak with fries. While the fries were crispy and freshly made, the steak was bland and served cold. It arrived promptly, which raises some questions. On a positive note, the drink I had, a cocktail with a tajin rim and tequila, was very enjoyable. The server was friendly and attentive, but overall, the quality of the food did not match the prices. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone, as there isn't anything that justifies the cost.
