My wife and I hd dinner this past Friday, and had a lovely evening. The wine choices were excellent, based on Kim's knowledgeable recommendations. And I really recommend Chef Mario's Barnoa Salad. Ask for it with extra Pepitas! read more

Barnoa Wine Bar is the best that San Clemente has to offer! Their BRUNCH is amazing! Did I tell you about they are serving Brunch on Saturday and Sunday 10 AM to 2PM! Check it out! read more

Best wine bar and restaurant in town. Great service, food and music. Friendly atmosphere and it is our neighborhood Cheers!

Had dinner at Barnoa tonight. Food was delicious. Service was awful. There were maybe 4 tables of diners yet we never saw our server after food was delivered. Never got water refills or a visit to see how our food was. Big disappointment. Would leave a minus star if an option. read more

I'd definately leave a no star if I could. Food was mediocre, steak never even arrived even after I asked for it several times and then canceled it. Then me and a friend and his girl were kicked out for...... I have no explanation for maybe the $1 tip on a $400 tab that could be it, which to be honest I didn't even feel like leaving that. He brought the change back and threw it on the table. Then told told us we better leave or he would "kick my ass" which we did get up and leave but I will say this he's going to learn what penal code 422 is in California in the next day or so. There are many great wine bars in Orange County that will treat you great and have great food and selection. No owner should ever let this occur at there establishment and they are also going to learn that they are responsible for their employees and making a customer feel for their safety and the safety of their friends. read more

Fun place. Live music. We live in Talega so it's great for a super close local stop. Food is good, not great.

Mike was a great owner.. he just sold the business to Kim the General Manager. We love this place... Kim will be a great new owner. She s as Leo really cares about her customers. The menu is great and the food tastes great but pricey.. we love this place and will keep going back read more

We're at Barnoa and it's totally packed! Live music. Big crowd. The food is great and the friends are fun. Melissa is the best server in the house ! Melissa was able to squeeze us into the bar and make us feel so welcomed. read more

Such a cute little wine spot. We ordered a meat and cheese plate and multiple glasses of wine. There was live music while we were there which elevated the mood of the space. It was decently busily for a Thursday night. I would definitely come back again read more

Amazing delicious food amazing service coming back for sure, and is located and such beautiful spot.

The wine selection is great and food was really delicious--more than what I expected from a wine bar. Would definitely go again. Taco Tuesday too! read more

Barnoa Wine - Wine Bars Near Me - San Clemente, California

I love this wine bar. Such a great easy place to meet up with family or friends. Food is excellent and joining the wine club has great perks. I highly recommend. read more

Awesome place to go! Food and wine are wonderful along with the entertainment. Wonderful wine club as well!

This place is nice it is easy to find so I'm not sure why there are other reviews that say it is hard. I was here on a Friday night there was live music and not too crowded. The crowd Is much older. This place is not somewhere where you can come party and be annoying. It is more relaxed to enjoy a glass of wine or too and some good food. I got the salmon dish and it was delicious I highly recommend it. Customer service is also good. read more

My wife and I have becoming here since 2014 and always always loved the place. Well things have changed ! Today we arrived at about 5:30 and sat at the bar next to friend that was already there. There were at least 4 maybe 5 servers moving around behind the bar. The place was busy but far from packed after 10 to 15 minutes our friend finally asked one of the servers if they could take our drink order We got our drinks and were planning on have dinner but could not get anyone of servers attention to place our order Out server, named Morgan, finally after being asked twice if we could order food finally came over. I had had it by then put down $20 my beer was $7 and wife's wine was $12 and guess what good old Morgan screwed me out of $1 change assuming I must have wanted to leave him a generous tip!! This place will soon go out business if this level of service continues So sad it was always such nice place to come to. read more

I was a little concerned because I don't like change that the new owners would revamp it and make it completely different but they didn't and I think that's great because it's such a special place I love the live music that they have and their food is out of this world for a wine bar. Try the jalapeño poppers and brie dip and their amazing steak and carrot cake read more

A new place for me and my husband to try. All of it was good. The only thing I am curious about is why do I have to pay for a corking fee if I bought a bottle from you to drink? We didn't bring our own. It was a nice time and our waitress was great and very attentive. Tha is for a memory. read more

Great food atmosphere service and drink......not a magic potion here! Come here with the wife frequently, always a great time!

This hidden gem carries the BEST variety of stout beer in the city of San Clemente. With a changing case, I personally have complimented the buyer for doing such an awesome job. It's also very convenient to take a couple bottles with me to drink in the comfort of my own home. You can also take anything from the fridge and enjoy at the patio. Great local vibe and always and friendly service. Unfortunately, hardly a place for vegans unless you like a side of nuts, olives and bread. For this reason, I removed a star. They also have live music on occasions, which I have stayed to enjoy. read more

Barnoa Wine - We had the Roasted Brazil Nuts And Italian Olives. They have a great beer selection (yay barely wine) - Wine Bars Near Me - San Clemente, California

Called ahead for 5pm curbside pickup: Appetizer, Blackened Salmon with Remoulade Sauce (on the side), Portabello Burger with Pineapple Slaw, and a nice bottle of Chardonnay (20% discount w/2 entrees) - total only $80. Do this! Briefly warmed up the entrees in our air fryer at dinner time, then added that remoulade sauce on top of the salmon - BOOM! read more

Barnoa is our new favorite spot! Great staff and service. The music on the weekends is fabulous, along with the food and variety of wines and drinks. read more

Our large group was treated rudely by both the nasty waitress and the owner, Kim. We have all been coming to Barnoa since they opened, and it is our "go to" neighborhood spot, for every day and for special occasions like birthday parties. Sadly, Kim is not customer-service oriented at all and is not grateful for long term loyal patrons. We are not going back and will not be participating in any of their wine tastings or wine club, either. Mike was always so nice and greeted you with a smile. He made great wine recommendations and made you feel welcome. It felt comfortable to eat and drink there and we often bought wine for ourselves and for gifts at Barnoa. After the bartender told me she was "too busy" to ring up a bottle of wine one night and that I'd have to wait "at least 15 minutes until she was free", I put the wine back and went to Ralphs to buy a bottle for a gift instead. There are ways to say and do things that are softer and less rude. Kim and her staff did not get the memo and don't seem to care when they lose business - a large amount of business, btw. Scarlet's in Ladera is our new go-to, with a very nice owner, good food, and craft cocktails. For wine and wine tasting, go with The Cellar or San Clemente Wine Company on Del Mar. They will always accommodate you and make you feel welcome. Sorry Barnoa, but you blew it and don't seem to give a damn! Really sad. read more

We love Barnoa. The staff and the owner are always warm and welcoming. They have added to their outside seating and it's so nice to have some wine and food on their patio. I recommend the Acorn squash. It's delicious and so are the tacos. We belong to their wine club which is fun and provides great wine for the members. read more

This spot was a great new find.!! Went on a Saturday night for a double date. It was surprisingly empty don't think people have caught on to this place yet. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was DELICIOUS! The staff recommended ordering the special .. Salmon with creamy couscous and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.! Seriously it's the best salmon I've had in a really long time. Also ordered a cheese plate that came out with warm bread that our whole table loved. They have a variety of wines at reasonable prices. We chose a bottle of Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis , perfectly chilled and crisp. They a had a singer playing guitar,he sounded great and was entertaining but the volume was a little too loud made it hard to hear our friends across the table. It's my only complaint... Definitely making this a regular place for date night. read more

Barnoa Wine - Wine Bars Near Me - San Clemente, California

We came right when they opened on a Friday, no one inside one group outside. It appears the owner or workers were having a zoom meeting in the dining area, it was a little distracting but we were the only ones inside and we were at the bar. It turned out it might have been some vendors. They apologized to possibly the owner that the meeting ran over. The waitress that served us was nice she was the only one working inside and out but for just a few people the service was good. We ordered off the happy hour menu had the devil eggs they were fantastic. It has a nice feeling and atmosphere inside. Our first time here and we would definitely come back. Appears to have a nice wine selection and a nice food menu. The inside and outside patio were clean. If we lived nearby this would definitely be our drinking hole! read more

We are now wine members and official "regulars." Not only is the staff amazing, but the food is truly spectacular. Every single thing on the menu is a 10/10. They do such an amazing job in service and food! Brian is an energetic and social waiter who is awesome!! read more

We went for the first time last night and could not have had a better time - Ellie (sp?) was our server and she was so nice and helped us pick out vegan options - always attentive, always accommodating - a real pleasure to be around. The entire staff was the same - we felt like we were invited into a home. The tables and chairs were so comfortable and roomy. And the live music with Keith McCabe was of the highest quality - felt like we were listening to one of the rock-and-roll greats. We can't wait to come back to this little gem of a place. read more

I've been here too many times to give it anything but a 5 star review. Everything I've had from the food menu has been great. The happy hour prices are perfect for a quick after work drink or bite and they've got local music on Monday nights. I absolutely recommend Barnoa to anyone in the area looking for a drink, bite to eat or your next social event. The staff are very nice and knowledgeable about the wine and craft beer they sell. I guess Mike is the second owner and from what I've heard is doing a way better job than the last guy. No complaints here. Go to Barnoa, you won't be disappointed read more
