The Goat and Vine

Stone Hearth Kitchen

We begin with excellent ingredients and a passion for preparing rustic and real food. All of our dishes are made from scratch here in The Goat & Vine stone hearth kitchen. Our desire to provide an exceptional experience extends into the comfortable and classy dining room, where we borrow from century old design and combine a bit of rural-whimsy to offer a playful and easing atmosphere for everyone.

OPEN:

11:00am to 9:00pm Sun - Thurs

11:00am to 10:00pm Fri - Sat

(Hours are subject to change)

(Due to road closures and parking availability creating unpredictable arrival times the YELP waitlist will not be made available during Old Town Temecula ROD RUN events, May 3rd and 4th)

Please be aware The Goat and Vine no longer has Outside Patio or Dog Friendly seating. Pets are not allowed inside the restaurant except for service animals. (This does not include emotional support animals).

In order to accommodate as many guests as possible and reduce wait times, the Goat and Vine DOES NOT take reservations. Instead, we are happy to offer a waitlist system powered by YELP to assist our guests in securing a table at or near their desired time.

The wait list system works on a first come first served policy. However, on the day of, you can check the quoted wait time on the list by visiting our Yelp page at www.yelp.com/biz/the-goat-and-vine-temecula and if the wait time matches (or is close to) the time you are planning on arriving you can add your name remotely to the list through the same Yelp page. We recommend checking the waitlist at least two hours in advance of the time you desire to dine with us. If you have any questions about putting your name in through the Yelp page, please don't hesitate to call the host desk at 951-695-5600 and they will be happy to assist you.

 Remote access to the wait list is available for parties of 1-5. For parties of 6 please call the restaurant three to three and a half hours before you plan to come in to be put into the waitlist manually. 6 tops tables have less availability so the wait my be higher than the quoted time on YELP.

For larger parties between 7-8 please contact the host desk the day of as early as possible, we open at 11:00am. Unfortunately at this time we cannot accommodate parties larger than 8.

Please understand that we only have one table that can accommodate larger parties so seating times are first come first serve and we cannot guarantee availability. All large parties are told to call as early as possible the day of so we take them in the order answered. The time slot you are looking for may be taken by another guest before you call. We have only two phone lines so we cannot connect to everyone at once. You may have to call multiple times. The phone lines do not open until 11:00am. Once again, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE AVAILABILITY.

Alicia.jpg

Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Alicia’s culinary promise took form at a very young age. From very early on, she was surrounded by incredible from scratch cooks that showed her great food is prepared simply, honestly, and takes time. She attributes much of her creative inspiration to her grandmother, mom, and mother-in- law, who showed her that food is much more than just nourishment; it is passion, it is innovation, it is love. It is these ideas that guide Alicia’s culinary perspective even today. Alicia said, “For me, The Goat and Vine is a place where I can share my culinary creations, made the same way that I make it for my family today, from scratch, honestly, and with a genuine showing of love.”

Prior to opening The Goat and Vine, Alicia was the owner/operator of Great Harvest Bread Company for six years. Her store quickly became ranked in the top 20 bakeries across the country for six consecutive years, an accomplishment that has not been replicated throughout the Great Harvest system to date.

Prior to bringing Great Harvest Bread Company to Temecula, Alicia and her husband Brad owned McGee Homes, where they were custom home builders in Alaska. Their work was so well regarded in the industry that it was featured on HGTV and has earned them the coveted Golden Hammer Award in building.

Alicia is a licensed real estate agent, and a licensed general contractor both in California and Alaska. She has also worked as a middle school science teacher and high school volleyball coach.

For me, The Goat and Vine is a place where I can share my culinary creations, made the same way that I make it for my family today, from scratch, honestly, and with a genuine showing of love.

Her hospitality experience spans over two decades, working in some of Alaska’s most well regarded restaurants, and later as owner/operator of her own concept. Alicia holds her Bachelor of Science degree in natural science from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. She is also an avid learner in all things food and hospitality.

When not working, Alicia enjoys eating great food, cooking, good books, outdoor adventures, and time spent with her family.
