Great breakfast Bloody Mary! Here from out of town and found this great dive bar! We will be back!

Coors light

Bartender was very sweet. It's a dive bar, everyone is very nice. He ordered a coors light. This place may be small, but it gets packed out. Stop by and grab a drink and a game of pool. Cool ambiance.

The BEST whiskey sour! Thank you Matt!

We love this place! Pool tables, awesome drinks, neon lights, and a service team who are like family. It's everything you want in a local bar, sitting right in the heart of Murrieta. Karaoke nights leave you with memories that'll last a lifetime. We'll definitely be returning. You can't turn down a Joannie's invite!

Pool on a Saturday afternoon is great fun.

I'm still coming here after 15 years and love it every time. The bartenders are awesome, and the local owners have made it even better. Patrons are great, and even though I'm an old grumpy bastard surrounded by a diverse age group, it always feels like home.

The staff…read morewere very friendly however I didn't care for the seating arrangement the hostess was seating us in. There was a ton of seating in the restaurant and she was sitting us right next to everyone. We requested to not be sitting right next to someone and practically be part of their conversation when theres a ton of open seats. Then when we got sat away from everyone, she sat a party right next to us. Again when open seating elsewhere. Just didn't make sense to me. Our server was great though! We ordered the pb and j wings to start which were phenomenal! Then my partner ordered the berry cobbler french toast. I ordered the cavatelli pasta. It was to die for. The sauce, the sausage, the tomatoes how the flavors blended. Everything just melted in your mouth. Highly recommend this place for brunch or for dinner. The menu is so good. Everything you order you can't go wrong. Will definitely be back!

It's in a shopping center with a big red sign on the outside, once inside the ambiance was very chill and the bar was inviting. We did decide to sit at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender. He gave us drink and food menus and I went with the cucumber fizzle which was right up my alley. My husband had one of there creative Old fashions and he really enjoyed his drink as well. We started with the Caviar Bites and Calamari, probably the best calamari I have had in quite a while. We also ordered the cavatelli mac and cheese which was very flavorful with the shishito pepper and parm and lastly we also had the Korean wings which were very meaty and full of flavor. I think that is something that stands out here is how much great flavors are packed in there dishes. The entire staff was friendly and the Chef was also very welcoming. Great food and drinks not to be missed here.

We came to Talia Kitchen on a Thursday evening and decided to try their seasonal three-course…read moredinner. Since we wanted to taste as much as possible, we pretty much ordered everything and shared! My favorite starter was definitely the Hamachi Crudo. The presentation was beautiful and colorful, and the flavor was on point. I honestly could've kept eating more of it! For my entrée, I had the Wild King Salmon. It was good, but probably not my favorite since I've had better salmon dishes elsewhere. The Campanelle pasta, however, was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had a unique and tasty flavor. My mom ordered the braised short rib and really enjoyed it. The meat was incredibly tender and juicy. Of course, we had to try all three desserts too! Our favorite was easily the Ricotta Doughnuts. So good! The three-course dinner was a pretty good deal and a great way to try several dishes. It was a slower evening, so the restaurant was nice and quiet, which we enjoyed. Our server was super friendly and helpful throughout the meal. The food did take a little while to come out, but everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, so it was worth the wait. I'd definitely come back again to explore more of their regular menu!

Talia Kitchen was hands down one of the highlights of our visit to Murrieta Hot Springs Resort…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and restorative--perfectly reflecting the wellness-focused spirit of the resort. The open, beautiful space felt like it nourished both the body and soul. We started with the House Focaccia & Whipped Fresh Ricotta, topped with saba reduction, pine nut gremolata, and moon drop grapes. It was absolutely incredible and the perfect way to begin the meal. We also enjoyed the Roasted Potato Purée alongside our dinner, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The dehydrated parsley, fried garlic, and grilled scallion oil elevated a seemingly simple dish into something truly memorable. For our entrée, we both ordered the Braised Brandt Beef Prime Short Rib, served with stokes purple yam purée, bon shimeji mushroom conserve, kohlrabi, and black trumpet demi-glace. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and beautifully prepared. To finish, we enjoyed the Lemon Posset with pickled blueberry compote, lavender chantilly, and English shortbread--light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. And of course, the espresso martini was a must! The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We loved Talia Kitchen so much that even if we aren't staying at the resort or spending the day at the hot springs, we'd absolutely make the trip back just for dinner. We can't wait to return!

The tortellini, ahi tuna, and other offerings go far beyond the typical greasy bar food. There's genuinely something for everyone, and the quality continues to impress. The recent changes to the interior, while not extensive, have made a noticeable improvement to the overall atmosphere and experience. But what truly sets The Cove apart is the staff. They are amazing, even when the place is busy, and especially when dealing with difficult customers who sometimes fail to treat them like human beings and instead act as though they're servants--and sadly, sometimes worse. The restraint, patience, and professionalism the staff show in those situations should be recognized and rewarded. They are a huge part of what makes The Cove special and, ultimately, what keeps people coming back. One person who stands out, among a staff full of genuinely caring people, is Savannah. The staff at The Cove remember your name, remember what you like, and make you feel like more than just another customer. Savannah embodies that perfectly. She always greets everyone who walks through the door with a warm welcome and a thousand-watt smile. Even when she's extremely busy, Savannah takes the time to make each person or group feel special and appreciated. She genuinely cares about the customer experience, and you can see it in the way she interacts with everyone. People like Savannah are what turn a place from somewhere you go to eat or watch a game into somewhere that feels like home. We all have countless choices when deciding where to spend our hard-earned money, and the people who make you feel welcome are what make that choice easy. Steelers football may have been what brought me through the door, but the people and the feeling of home are what keep me coming back.

I simply want to spend my money on good food and service With that being said. I've gone to Finch 3 times. Every single time they have made my meal to absolute perfection. We have had Alexi twice now as a waitress and she's super nice, attentive and gives great recommendations. I plan on trying Brunch soon and will write another review after going a few times. What I have ordered and loved: Appetizers: 1. Buffalo Cauliflower 2. Short Rib Fries 3. Cheese Curds (homemade ranch is insanely good) Dinner: 1.Tenderloin with lemon Orzo (ordered 3 times medium rare, all 3 times cooked to perfection). 2. Finch Burger 3. French Dip By far the Tenderloin is my favorite but everything I've tried thus far is so good!! Not to mention the atmosphere is super cool and clean. We will be back!

I basically had to push them aside and not eat them however, the presentation was nice. The rest of the salad was okay but had a LOT of vinegar. Monte Cristo sandwiches were good but non-traditional. They weren't fried in an egg batter but, instead, made with pieces of French toast. Chicken and waffles were said to be very tasty. This was my 2nd visit here and a bit disappointing as was my first visit several years ago. I had hoped there would be some improvement in the food. There wasn't. The interior is very cute clean. Our server, Stacy, was awesome. She did a great job considering that we, as a party of 9, all had seperate checks.
