    The Gambling Cowboy has been our go to place for special occasions for many years and has never been a disappointment. Once again, the food and service were excellent! This is the best place in Temecula to eat and celebrate, by far.

    Server was good. Calamari appetizer was very good. They list the description of how the steaks will be cooked depending on what you pick but one of our steaks was SEVERALLY undercooked. Food took a while for 4 pm reservation but overall, a good experience and good food. Only upscale steakhouse I know that includes sides with each steak, that was a bonus.

    Our reservation was for 7pm. We waited over a half hour for our table. Seated at 7:38pm. Our server could have been better. No smile. Just there for the money. It was extremely hard to hear a conversation due to the loud dining guests surrounding us. We have been going to the GC for 10 plus years. This was the worst time dining at the GC. It was my wife Bday and sitting for over a half hour for our reserved table was unacceptable
