Plantation House-Closed
Plantation House Restaurant
34225 Rancho California Rd
Temecula
951-694-6088
Plantation House Restaurant is next to the Maurice Carrie Winerery. They have a Hawaiian style menu.
I orderd the Plantation Wrap, $12. A tortilla wrap with avocado, salsa and cream cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bacon, swiss cheese, and of course turkey. This is pretty good. While certain fresh and tasty, I didn't find anything outstanding about it. And at $12 for a wrap, it better be damn good.
The wrap comes with fried rice. The rice was came cold. WTF is that. We wait a long time for our food and the rice is cold? That tells me the server didn't pick up the order when it was ready or the rice from the kitchen is already cold. Either way not the way to service fried rice.
Service was very poor. It took forever for the food at arrive. Our server was very short and really a bitch. She wasn't friendly. She didn't come to our table enough. She never asked how things were or if we needed anything.
Overall what you get is an Applebee's quality food. But at prices about 25% higher. I would not go back to Plantation House again. High prices and poor service doesn't make for a second trip back.
Please note. Plantation House has now closed. I'm so shocked. Please notice the sarcasm in that statement.
