June's — Restaurant in Eastvale

Breathtaking views. A very modern date night spot in the Inland Empire—only 20 minutes away from the Ontario Airport. The glass wall itself glows at night. I like how on the menu, they describe the purpose of their restaurant as “a love letter to California”.

I believe the chef could one day be an up and coming contender for a future Michelin star. There were improvements that could have been made on some dishes, but overall, very complex and elevated flavor profiles—the fresh seasonal ingredients are intentionally the star of the show.

For example I had the peach and burrata with prosciutto—I really felt this could have been taken to the next level if they grilled the peaches to get that caramelization, added some fresh basil (it was mostly mint) and drizzled the blood orange dressing on top instead of spreading it on the endive where it was kind of hidden.

We also ordered the tiger shrimp with baguette. The baguette was made from scratch and was exquisite, and the tender garlic cloves were easily spread to make a pseudo garlic bread experience. The sauce had a good foundation to it but was too watery / bland.

My husband had the cheeseburger medium and this was the best savory food item we ordered. Best cheeseburger I have ever had—even better than Hamburger Hamlet in LA. They grind new york steak in-house to make the “ground beef” and their sauces are all made from scratch. The ranch was a little too herby and watery for me but the fries were so flavorful they didn’t need any dipping sauce. Out of all their sauces, the blood orange dressing is the star of the show.

We also ordered the chocolate olive oil and peach cakes and split 3 different flavors of ice cream (honey, basil, and passionfruit). The chocolate cake was my favorite cake—dense with a dark chocolate ganache as a “crust”. The honey ice cream was my favorite ice cream; but the peach cake with the basil ice cream was my favorite combo overall if I had to pick just one dish. The peach with the basil and sea salt caramel is a very complex flavor profile and executed very well. My complements to the chef!

They also have house wines—try the red—it strikes the perfect balance between dry and sweet which is hard to do.

Gorgeous views, quiet breeze, trendy atmosphere, feels like a mini vacation. Come at sunset for that wow...

Aesthetically pleasing, but downright terrible food.

Went last night for our date night. As soon as we arrived, we were excited to be at Eastvale’s 1st rooftop bar and restaurant. We started with the Zaatar Fries and the popcorn chicken. Both had great flavor, but were incredibly salty (something noted on other reviews).

Then came the main dishes. Our server convinced us that the spicy pomodoro wasn’t that spicy, but it was a spicy for me, and I eat habaneros raw with my food. Calabrian chilies are sweet and hot, but the amount used in this dish, turns it into more of an assassin’s pasta. They were very kind and replaced the dish with gnocchi (more on that in a few). I had the carbonara, and fair warning- it’s not really a carbonara. 1st it’s made with a shell pasta that doesn’t allow the texture quality of the cream to develop, so you end up with a somewhat curdled egg cream sauce (yuck). Also, the lardons were not rendered down, which led to a very chewy and fatty experience. Lastly, the salt. FFS, the chef must not have any taste buds, or they’re not tasting the sauces as they develop them the dish was salted like seawater. Now back to the gnocchi- this wasn’t gnocchi. These were southern style dumplings trying to be played off as gnocchi. These were 1” by 1” squares of dough cooked in (you guessed it) the saltiest sauce you have ever had in your life.

In addition, the food in general tasted as though it had been cooked in large batch and reheated for the order, an off put flavor of being reheated came through in everything, except the fries and popcorn chicken.

That said, the service and the atmosphere are the only saving grace for this place. Go for the drinks, but not the food. Also beware, for a 2 star (at best restaurant) they have the audacity to force you to valet your vehicle for $10.

I hope they fire their kitchen staff...

Took daughter for her bday ordered 4 appetizer, onion dip, oyster mushrooms, lil gems and 1 cheese baguette we never got, all unpalatable. Optimistic we order our entrees, sea bass, grilled octopus, mezzoluna, 2 chicken plates. Only the people that ordered chick ate half the plates. Everyone else could not eat their plates, it was that bad. My daughter never got her bday plate. Drinks were good. Dropped $355 with tip, yes I still tipped. We had to go eat sushi across the parking lot at Tenmaya as we were all still hungry. Dropped $220 with tip gladly as we ate great food and they took their time to celebrate my daughter bday. Very nice views but definitely will not go back. One more note one server not so polite lecturing me that the menu clearly states no cash and to figure it out among us on how to pay. There was no signs or anywhere in the menu that they did not accept cash. I found it very rude and unprofessional. You would think it would be something they mention at the beginning. They give service like a fast food joint with no visual printed receipts to check your bill. They hand you the little terminal. They have a lot to learn if they want to be anything above a 3 start restaurant. What are your thoughts should I charge back my 2 plates I did not receive? Need to add, I can’t even make this up we had to tell our server at sushi restaurant how horrible June was and the table behind us hear us. They say they had just left too and they where still hungry too because they could not eat any of their food and the service was horrible. That should tell...
