Deep Dive

A deep dive into The Goat & Vine

orange county wine country 🍷 i’ve visited temecula twice in the last three months so here’s three things I recommend: - staying at @pontevineyardinn, it’s literally an italian villa 🤌🏼 - the wine making class at @bottaiawinery, such a fun experience! I’ve done it twice now and have made three custom bottles of wine, plus they keep pouring + the vibe is so it 🙃 - dinner at @goatandvine, after all the wine pizza is beyond necessary and so delicious! pro tip: they don’t take resys but they offer yelp waitlist 🍕 can’t wait for my next visit 🤍 #temecula #temeculawinecountry #temeculavalley #pontevineyardinn #bottaiawinery #winemaking #winecountry #orangecounty #orangecountyrealtor

It took us many tries, but we finally got to visit Goat & Vine recently and I must say, it was worth the wait! We’re fairly new to Temecula’s restaurant scene and there’s a reason G&V always comes up as a top pick when you ask around! And of course, it’s no surprise that it received the Local’s Choice Award for Favorite Restaurant for the last 2 years. G&V does not take reservations and instead, uses Yelp’s wait list system. On previous tries, the wait was always way too long or the wait list was closed. This particular time, I accessed the wait list for 2 people at 3:30pm on recent Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at an initial estimated time of 6:20. With people ahead of us dropping off, we got a text to be there at 5:30. Note that you can use online access to the wait list for parties of 1-5. If you’re a party of 6-8, you need to call to get manually added. Their largest table seats 8. Once we arrived and were told it would be 10 minutes or so, we asked if we could sit at the bar and get a drink while we waited. The bar area is first come first serve and you can order meals there. It was our first time at G&V and we mistakenly sat at the lower table area attached to the bar. When we told the server we were waiting for a table and just wanted a drink, she may have alerted the hostess who was extremely gracious in letting us know that we were at an actual table and not the bar area, and she proceeded to seat us immediately at another table close by. We only had interaction with the hostess and our waitress, but both were excellent – very personable, helpful and just the right amount of attentiveness! The interior layout and décor is gorgeous and the vibe is upscale. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the street. Ok, onto the fantastic food! After a Manhattan and a glass of Zin, we shared Mother’s Meatballs and a steak gorgonzola pizza. Despite being very busy, our food came out quickly. The meatballs starter was to die for – so yummy and beautifully presented in a cast iron skillet and served with their house-made Parmesan garlic sourdough. Here’s an awesome tip: order some extra marinara to dip your pizza crusts in! The pizza was delicious, as well. Goat & Vine gets 5 stars for ambiance, service and food! We can’t wait to return, and are looking forward to their next venture, Two Travelers Wine Bar+Merchant.

Goat and Vine is fantastic. The ambiance and décor are exceptional and so is the food. I would definitely say that his place has an upscale feel, without being pretentious. You can stop here with friends and family to get a full meal, or just have snacks and a drink. There is plenty of space in this restaurant. The small front entrance can be deceiving. When you walk in the smell of their amazing pizza really hits you. If you don’t order a pizza you might be missing out on one of the best artisan pizza experiences in all of Temecula. They have a lot of drink offerings, a full bar, a large wine list, as well as craft beers. Really something for everyone. They have food offerings for all diets. The portions are not small, but perhaps smaller than you might expect. So, order accordingly. Salads are truly small. Everything that was ordered tasted great. The staff had great recommendations and they were friendly too. There was booth and table setting available, several large parties could be easily accommodated even when the restaurant was busy. Bring a jacket if its cold outside. Although the inside of the restaurant is fantastic, waiting to get in can be a bit chilly. There is not a ton of seating while you wait. There are restrooms for customers, and everything is very well maintained. More so than most restaurants. I will say that parking can be a bit challenging if it is a busy time on the weekend. There is plenty of parking nearby, but parking right in front of the store is limited. There is a large and free parking garage a block away, some street parking, and a small parking lot across the street.

I’ve decided that it’s time for me to offer my unilateral and unconditional surrender. For those of you that have been following “Henry’s Take” for a while, you’ve heard my previous attestations that “I’m not a bread guy.” Well while still seated at our table at “The Goat & Vine” I was forced to take a long, reflective look in a figurative mirror and come to grips with the undeniable fact that I am now TOTALLY “a bread guy!” I had no reason to suspect that my ongoing refusal to acknowledge my latent affection for baked goods was in jeopardy when ordering their “Bread Sticks & House Sauce”, but alas that is where my official downfall commenced. However, and in my defense, was the playing field really level? I mean their bread sticks are freshly baked, garlic brushed, topped with melted mozzarella and parmesan, and just begging to be submerged in the accompanying walnut pesto marinara. Seriously people! This fight was rigged in advance of the opening bell!🔔 🥊 If there was any remaining hope that I could muster the willpower to deny what had already become my new reality, all hope was dashed once the “Jalapeño Lime Carnitas” pizza arrived. The last time I had pizza crust this good was in Florence, Italy. There are no words, so I now formally yield to the undeniable appeal of yeast products. 🏳️ And that’s…Henry’s Take. #powerofyeast #fortheloveofbread #breaddreams

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Goat & Vine in Temecula is so worth the wait!! Their chefs know how to turn fresh ingredients into culinary experiences. From the moment you walk in, the adorable decor envelops you with its lush greenery. Live stag horn ferns adorn the walls, and the beautiful bar boasts a clean, inviting, and well-lit aesthetic. It's no wonder this place is always buzzing – be prepared for a wait at any time of day. But that's a testament to the restaurant's popularity and the incredible quality of its food. The customer service at The Goat & Vine is top-notch. You'll feel welcomed and taken care of throughout your visit. It's the kind of place where you might bump into influencers, successful business people, or even the Mayor of Temecula! But the real star of the show is the food. Every dish is designed to tantalize the senses. I recently celebrated my twin daughters' 17th birthday here, and we were blown away, once again, by the flavors. Whether you're in the mood for a handcrafted pizza, a fresh salad, or something a bit more adventurous, The Goat & Vine will not disappoint. If you're looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience in Temecula, The Goat & Vine is a must-try!

A great place just got better with a move to a more spacious venue. They're now in the Truax Building at 2nd St and Mercedes St, right across from the free City Hall municipal garage. Convenient. During Covid 19, there is no indoor dining but they have some limited outdoor dining along 2nd St. Plus pick-up, of course. Their food is always special and very tasty. I've had a number of salads and sandwiches in the past but last week tried their pizza. I had the sausage with caramelized red onions. They take the food so seriously that when I said I wanted onions on the pizza the wait person wanted to know if I wanted caramelized red, caramelized sweet or scallions. Well, OK! I should let you know that the pizza was extremely delicious. It's a fairly pricey place as far as pizza is concerned but less so for sandwiches and salads. On the other hand the pizza is large enough for two to share, especially if you have an app or dessert. Speaking of which, I've had their Jacked Cappucino Ice Cream Cake in the past. It's among the most delicious desserts I've ever had. Get this! Staff has always been super-friendly and helpful. Do try this special place.
