Bouquet Restaurant — Restaurant in Temecula

Excellent service with good wines and food. Last minute dinner plans for us. We opted to sit outside because why wouldn't we want to sit outside in the nice weather with a beautiful view of the vineyard?

The complimentary thyme fluffy (popover like) bread was delicious. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie appetizer. It was a nice selection of 3 meats, 3 cheeses, olives, pickles, mustard, honey, and crackers.

Not that it was bad, it was decent and didn't meet my...
