Small barn has been a culinary favorite since they opened with great food, clever choices, wonderful service and a perfect atmosphere. But, I'd like to send out a special mention regarding the manager, Selena! She remembers every guest, treats everyone as if they are special, ensures the perfect accommodations, service and hospitality. She goes above and beyond. read more

I've always wanted to try this spot and finally did. Ambiance was really nice. It was a hot day, so we sat inside and the ac felt nice. There is outside seating but they had the misters on which was a nice touch. I ordered the orange creamsicle crush. It was a nice refreshing drink. Their burger was super super good. I crushed it all. Chocolate chip cookies with the vanilla bean and almond milk was superb. Very decadent... Service was also lovely. read more

I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE! The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful. Overall, I can't believe that fish; I hope to try it again when I revisit the area. read more

We visited one evening about 30 minutes before they were set to close. We weren't sure if they would seat us or send us away, but they happily sat us. The server was very kind and did not rush us in the least. We placed our order and the food came out shortly and we enjoyed everything we ordered. We also got the milk and cookies for our dessert. Very nice ambiance here and while the place was closing soon we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We would definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day dinner and had the most lovely time! We had the pre-fix menu that was worth every bite! We sat outside under the twinkling lights and near a heater, it created a warm romantic vibe! The entire staff at small barn was knowledgeable and kind and just so sweet from the two hostess to our serve server and Bus Boy I can't talk enough about how knowledgeable everybody was All of our food was incredible.

We ordered an appetizer and it never came. Fine, it happens but the server's response was "I didn't hear you so that's why I never put in the order." A cocktail was spilled on one of our purses. Service left us feeling not very welcome and there were only like 3 other tables. It was a Wednesday night at 6pm and it was kind of slow. Server didn't seem like she wanted to be there or she was just not in a good mood. When you spend $200 for dinner for 2, you kind of want a pleasant experience for your night out. Disappointed. read more

I was unimpressed by this place. I came here from san diego bc of all the pictures of good food! Especially the octopus! Its too bad I came for brunch. Brunch lasts until 2pm and then from 2pm to 245pm they serve only appetizers. Lmao. Thats certainly interesting. Aesthetically this place is gorgeous. I love that they are dog friendly and it wasnt too hot today at the patio. I got the bloody mary to start and it was pretty good. The bacon in it was amazing, however, it didnt taste like 2 shots. The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try read more

This place was ok. Basic farmhouse decor, a bit loud inside, a mix of high top and regular tables. Felt more like a coffee shop inside save for the louder music. Outdoors was cute and had misters. Their menu is fairly small. I got the pear and walnut salad with chicken added. The dressing oddly had no acidity, it tasted only like oil. It cost around $30. My boyfriend got the short rib, after asking the server if it was a substantial serving ($55) The server pointed to a bowl and said it came in a large bowl like that and was plenty. However it was a small serving ringed by carrots that arrived in a large bowl. My bf was disappointed by this. My kiddo got the burger which was large ($27 I think?) and enjoyed it, and we got two mocktails (I actually don't know if they charged less than the alcohol price for those) which were ok. Overall the food was along the lines of Tender Greens but substantially pricier. read more

My son, daughter-in-law and Granddaughter took me there 4 my B-day yesterday. Abby the hostess was fabulous. Food was good. We were disappointed becuz we made reservations for a b-day. I know my son spent over $100.00. We had to order a dessert..not even a candle! We were alittle disappointed about that...so the tip reflected it. With the economy things are tough but they should of atleast comped the dessert. My son loves that place. They live in Utah..not sure if we will go back. read more

We were so looking forward to trying this restaurant. This review is on service only. We had a reservation, they put us at an outdoor fire pit. How do you eat there?! Upon our request, it was cold, moved us inside. The lack of service... our apps came before drinks. When we asked for the manager to come over she immediately knew. Then why didn't you action on it?!?!? No matter your me u price point or how many stars you've acquired service is still key. read more

Went for brunch on a Saturday morning and enjoyed the time. Definitely not crowded and the outdoor patio was really lovely for a sunny day. Inside was also cool and it was a place you could stay and hang for awhile. Menu was pretty solid and food was not amazing, but good overall. The shakshuka felt like it was missing something flavor wise, but the baguette of bread that came with it was top notch (I would just order that on the side for anything!). Quiche was good, but did not come out hot; almost like it was pre-made from the day before and heated up slightly to bring out with the rest of the food. The chorizo gave it a great flavor. Avocado toast had so much good stuff on top and was sold. Don't need to go back, but wouldn't steer anyone away from going. read more

This is such a cute place. But will the food be as good as the decor? The decor is themed as farmhouse and they have a heated patio that looks spacious. I dined here for Sunday brunch. They easily accommodated a party of two with options for indoor or outdoor seating. I ordered the eggs Benedict. It came with a side of purple potatoes. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the cook. The potatoes were burnt and the eggs were overcooked. I cut into it expecting a poached egg with runny yolks, but it was medium cooked. I would've told our waitress, but she rarely checked in with us. read more

Absolutely the best Bloody Mary I've had in a while. I came in after a Spartan Race, starving and ready to eat everything in sight--and this place delivered. Not only was the Bloody Mary on point, but the food was incredible. We started with the ahi tuna, which was fresh and flavorful. The barn burger was amazing, and the eggs Benedict were just as impressive. On top of that, the service was excellent. It was my first time here, and I was not disappointed. Great food, great drinks, and great service all around. read more

Made a reservation for 8 people and were well accommodated. When we first sat, they were not able to get the heaters to work, but Sasha made sure to make something happen so we weren't all freezing. Most of us ordered a burger and split it because we weren't too hungry and it was DELICIOUS! The scenery is very cute. The Corn brûlée was pretty good too! Tasted like a corn cake but then had the sugar crunch! read more

The food is good! We tied the chicken which was well seasoned, the wine braised short rib which wasy favorite, it was so tender!! We also had the 20 layer lasagna, it's now a huge tower like you expact, it ends up looking like a regular lasagna but it's good. The butter cake is a standout too. So tender and not too sweet. The drinks were amazing!! It's just a little expensive in my opinion. The service is great, everyone is very accommodating and warm. I think this is the only restaurant that feels chic in downtown/old Temecula. It's modern, minimalist, natural textures, it's so cute! read more

Came for brunch while staying at one of the wineries and it wasn't bad. While all of the buildings in old Temecula reflect the saloon/cowboy era the interior is definitely modern. We ordered: - Ube French Toast - Eggs Your Way - Cold Brew The food was pretty good, but really enjoyed the cold brew. It had a chocolate-like undertone. Also, want to highlight the freshness of the fruit that came with the Ube French Toast and the bacon with the Eggs Your Way. read more

Very disappointed with our experience here. We came on a Friday morning and the restaurant was practically empty, yet the service was absolutely terrible. Our waiter never refilled our water, took our order incorrectly, and took forever every time we requested something. It was frustrating considering how slow it was. On top of that, the food was very overpriced for what we got. Nothing tasted particularly special honestly, it was mediocre at best. Between the poor service and disappointing food, this is definitely not a place I would recommend. read more

This place was suggested by Yelp. My daughter wanted to try something different this time, so we did. We were given the lunch menu but were informed that the dinner was starting and if we wanted to switch menu. So we did. The place is relaxed and with music cut you can still get the relaxation feels. The restrooms are inside where the bar and more seats. Super clean. The dinner menu was nice prices range from $20 and up. As this restaurant is a La Carte!!!! Remember that... Their menu has really good variety. The sangria was not sweet it was just perfect. I had the Tuna and omg it was super delicious! What matricúlate taste! Perfecto!! read more

Fabulous food, fabulous experience, and amazing service from Sasha. Definitely a must hit in old town Temecula for breakfast

This was at noon on a Sunday. I booked this reservation very last minute and thankfully, there was room available. This location is right in downtown and very busy. Street parking is only available so it can a hassle to try to find. The restaurant is right on a corner with a floral archway and what looked to be mainly patio. Hostess checked us in and sat us inside, as I requested. I admired the contemporary but rustic architecture. Truly feels high end and farm like. Our server was friendly and gave us our menus. I was going to go with the eggs your way plate but decided on the farm quiche last minute. They have seasonal drinks, so I decided on that one. It happened to be pomegranate lemonade. We were served water and our drinks came shortly after. My friend got the eggs Benedict. Our meal took a very long time, about 30 minutes. Our sever then came around and apologized for the wait and said that the quiche was taking long since they were making it bigger than usual. I wish I had gotten a heads up on that, since I was on a time crunch and would have ordered something else. Eventually, our meals came out. My quiche was like a pasta and it was good. I like the chorizo. My friend was less than impressed with the eggs Benedict. Afterward, our sever came around again and said they were making freshly baked cookies for the occasion, which was my birthday. I was surprised and definitely appreciated it. The cookies came out, warm, with fruit, and a glass of milk. The cookies were very chocolatey. The milk was scrumptious and had hints of cinnamon in it. I asked for a box to go and the check. I was happy with the experience. read more

I tried this for lunch over the weekend. The decor was cute inside and with the patio set up. For drinks we ordered the Jalisco Serenade and the Smoke on the Water. Both were very good and refreshing. The food options for brunch were primarily breakfast items with the exception of a few lunch items. I wanted to try the Fried Chicken Sandwich but they were sold out. Instead, I tried the Barn Burger which was super good so I was still happy. I thought the quality and the flavors were all very good, it was just expensive for what it was. Overall, I thought this was a good spot worth trying, but the pricing was all pretty high for it being brunch. read more

First time trying this place and it was too bad that it was raining, especially celebrating birthday there. We had reservations at 1130, but got there around 11 and they were able to seat us. There aren't any kids breakfast options like pancakes. They had cinnamon French toast(but my kid did not want cinnamon). We ended up getting grilled cheese with fries. for my daughter. The bread came out burnt so I had to scrape off the burnt(black) parts. My hubby and I both ordered the steak and eggs. The scrambled eggs were plain, the steak was ok with ketchup added, the toasted bread was hard as a rock and the potatoes were a little too burnt. The inside decor was very blah compared to the outside. read more

We had an awesome brunch at Small Barn in Temecula for my girlfriend's birthday. We made a reservation online, and as soon as we arrived, we were seated right away. The patio area was really nice, and the whole place had a great vibe. Our server was super friendly and took great care of us. I ordered the Turkish eggs with lemon garlic house chili crunch, which were really good, but next time, I'd probably get the chili crunch on the side since it was a little too oily for me. My girlfriend got the eggs Benedict, and she said they were very good. We also had some mimosas, which were delicious. Small Barn is right in downtown Temecula, and they serve brunch on Fridays from 11 to 3 and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 3. It was the perfect way to kick off our day- great food, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch. We had a reservation and were told that it would be about 10 min. After waiting 15+ we checked again and somehow our reservation was no longer there. The hostess resolved the situation, but still seated two more parties before seating us. We were a party of 4, so not a large group that required extra preparation. Once seated, everything went smoothly. Service was friendly and attentive and the food and drinks were excellent. The pan roasted chicken was super tender and the potatoes that came with the eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly. read more

Let me start by saying I never wanted to eat here. As we have spent three years exploring Temecula eateries, this final Old Town restaurant was at the bottom of our list. The outside seating appeared uncomfortable and the hostess stand seemed prissy. I WAS WRONG! Food: Delicious! We split the "Whole Sea Bass" made for two. It was perfectly priced and curated. Many people around us had it and also loved it. So many unique flavors blended together in such a creative manner. Ambiance: comfortable, hip, and normal. We chose to sit inside where we learned that the structure is a historically preserved gas station from original Temecula. Certainly didn't feel that way, yet there classy photos inside to share the story. Outside we observed people comfortably and warmly sitting at fire pits despite the chilly weather. Service: prompt, not rushed. Friendly and informative. Price: fair read more
