The Nightingale

"The staff were all very friendly and service was quick. The specialty drinks were fantastic. Oysters were wonderful. We also got the steak. We ordered it medium rare and it came well done, but we chose to eat it without sending it back and were pleased with how good it tasted. All in all we were very pleased by the atmosphere and our experience. We will be back."

"I humbly dare you to thrive on the Nightingale Experience ;)

I have never been so impressed by any other food, beverage, & hospitality establishment. My husband & I are #locals and HUGE foodies, and we've probably experienced it all here in #Temecula, but WOW, Nightingale really knocked our socks off. Before I start my review, my family & I arrived on a late Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was packed & very busy.

From the minute we entered the establishment, the welcoming smiles, the charming, classy décor, to the excellent, attentive, high class, quality service, to the exquisite modern #California cuisine look, feel, and taste, the simplicity of the ingredients; yet FULL of flavor, to the delightful & exciting choices of beverages (TRY THE COCKTAILS!), and finally, to the overwhelming delicious choices of desserts to choose from. On top of that even the management were working the floor at times when necessary. It's so inspiring to see the management servant-lead the staff in that way!

Let me make it clear for you, reader: You're in for a real treat; settle in for a new food/restaurant #adventure here with the Nightingale.

This location is wonderful for a #casual #family/work event gathering or lunch dates, not to mention the PERFECT #romantic dinner date spot in town. Not to mention, we even had our 5 month year old join us! The service was so accommodating with having our 5-month-old #baby join us. As new parents, it's not always easy to find places we enjoy that would accommodate our baby with us. We had such a wonderful time all together.

These are the items we ordered:
Drinks: A glass of Chardonnay Wine, a Cocktail
Appetizers: In house made Bread & Butter; Clams; Butter Lead Lettuce
Entrees: BONE-IN Ribeye 22oz ; Copper River King Salmon
Dessert: 50/50 (Orange Creamsicle in light of the 50s era) ; Roasted Berries

I noticed there was a review on YELP that says they would charge for bread & butter; (to be honest, I am not sure if they did charge our bread & butter when my husband & I were there because my husband had the check) but even if they did, let's take into consideration here that their bread was made FRESH & in-house. Not to mention their butter is from a local farm. Food critiques say, taste the bread the restaurant offers you in the beginning, you can then have an idea of how the rest of the food will come out. It takes work to get that bread & butter to the AMAZING taste it brings to the table & how it sets the tone for the whole meal experience.
More so, the prices here are VERY reasonable; knowing that this restaurant focuses on quality over quantity, utilizing seasonal vegetables & fruits, local meats, and even wild-caught seafood. All important factors here to take notice that they take their business seriously!

Thank you SO MUCH, Nightingale, for making this experience for my family & I such a fun & charming place to enjoy ourselves. We're so thankful for this new addition to the Temecula Valley! Our family & I plan to come back REALL soon! :)"
