    We started off strong. Place was fairly dead with just a handful of tables. The server was training so we technically had 2 servers. At first, they were attentive. Then, halfway thru dinner they disappeared. We wanted to order more food and drinks but had to flag them down. By this time, there was 2 tables left-us and someone else. No one was sitting inside. I have no idea what they were doing. Then all of a sudden, after waiting almost 30 mins, them come and tell us it’s last call. Just odd.

    First timers to the cafe. AMAZINGLY delicious food! My M-I-L’s food was not prepared correctly, and they put in a new order, but we had to wait 20 minutes for it to come out because they were preparing other orders first. Hers should have gone in ahead since we ordered prior and they got it wrong. All in all a good experience. Waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating.

    Dead and dull place. Food was ok. We'll never go back. Our guests forgot their credit card and the staff stole it and used it within hours. A real stain on Temecula.
