Wine Ranch Grill and Cellars 24683 Washington Avenue, Murrieta, CA 92562

"This place had great food in the past. Decided to pop in for lunch. The hostess was very nice. Cute atmosphere. We were seated quickly. But it took a long time for someone to come to our table just for water. We ordered appetizers to start. Not good. Definitely not fresh. The rice was hard or just uncooked. The fish was stringy. The food was stale. The server was really sweet about it. And told us the chef tried it and agreed. Why are you serving this? It just wasnt our lucky day. We paid anyways and left. Maybe another time? Probably no. Disappointing."

"A nice place to spend the afternoon in Murrieta with good selection of salads, appetizers and burgers. The patio has a peaceful ambiance."

"I’ve driven by this restaurant on so many occasions and have always admired how appealing it looked from the outside, but have never stop to actually dine in. Mainly because I’m not a huge wine fine. I like sweater drinks that don’t cause my cheeks to pucker, but my husband came home for lunch and wanted to treat me and my youngest of 8 kids for lunch. The youngest is 2 by the way. Anyways, I was pleased to go out and have a mini date with my husband and I truly had wanted to visit and try it out, as I love to visit new establishments and find treasured places to be on my favorite list. With this adventure awaiting we went. I honestly love how it is set up. I love the outside tables and chairs with the fireplaces to create warmth and comfort for its customers. The inside is just as cute as the outside. We did come during lunch almost as they opened, so we did miss some of the lunch traffic I’m sure. The customer service was ok, not really eager or friendly, but it was modest. Nothing to write home about. I did find they had some drinks, but they were out of the mix, so that was kinda disappointing I kinda wanted a Bloody Mary, oh well. They had mimosas and sangria, but as I mentioned I’m not a huge wine or beer fan. Oh well! When we did get our food it was really good, which kinda made up for the drinks. I honestly loved the fries and they even put shredded Parmesan. I do have to say fries were definitely the highlight. I ordered the truffle burger medium rare and it was pretty good. It even had caramelized onions and truffle aioli, which wasn’t to bad. Of course the 2 year old had the chicken strips and fries which looked perfectly cooked, thank god. See a lot of restaurants make kids meals and burn it and then guess what they won’t eat it and who has to suffer the parents that paid for food quality and you know kids. If it doesn’t look right or smell right it’s all over. Husband ordered a blackened salmon burger, which he liked all except the mango salsa, or mango chutney or maybe it was a mango something or other. Anyways, all in all the experience was good. A little pricey for lunch. Mainly it’s dinner prices at everyone other restaurant, but still was good and I would go again to try something else."

"Wonderful lunch here yesterday! The moment we walked in we were greeted by the friendly restaurant staff. Restaurant was very clean, inviting & our server was excellent and very knowledgeable. Food was amazing, had great flavor & presentation. Favorite spot in old town Murrieta."
