    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. I loved the pear salad and my braised beef was so good too.

    This place is so beautiful and the food is outstanding! We had a large group and our server was on top of things. We tried several different items but every one raved about the burger the most. There is something for everyone

    Eggs your way
    Jana H.

    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.

    Steak and eggs
    Dani P.

    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.

    Pear walnut salad with steak.
    B R.

    The food was delicious! I ordered pear walnut salad which was a delightfully balanced blend of goat cheese, cranberry, toasted walnut and frisée lettuce. I made it a main dish by adding the steak. The sweet and savory was very satisfying. I placed my order immediately because I had my dog with me. Service was excellent, and the patio is the best place in the restaurant to eat.

    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.

    Get the pork belly! It was very delicious! The short rib and peach salad were also good. We sat outside as we had a big group and they were able to provide us with heaters. It was still so cold though so beware when sitting outside. The servers were prompt and were checking on us even if we were outside. Overall a solid restaurant in the Temecula area.

    The food here was pretty average for the price u r paying for. The shakshuka I ordered was kind of burnt and the egg was a little overcooked for my liking. However the flavor was still there. I had better in other places. The service here was great tho and the staff and servers were super attentive and nice.

    Twenty layer lasagna
    Lissa L.

    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!

    Benedict
    Allison L.

    Love this cute spot in Temecula. We stopped in for lunch on our way to Palm Springs. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was welcoming. I would definitely go here again!

    Corn brûlée
    Morgan W.

    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!

    Hamachi crudo

    Absolutely delicious, our waitress Sasha was professional, knowledgeable and made our first time experience extra special. Cheers to Hailey who is in training, bravo !!!

    Eggs Your Way
    Anthony D.

    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.

From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

Our group brought along lots of yummy small bites to accompany our tastings of Pamec's natural wines using wild yeasts and minimal intervention. Anthony was our server extraordinaire. He was so knowledgeable, patient, super friendly and such a great ambassador for Pamec. Bonus points for the sweet wine menu - all Pamec wines are named after Temecula animals, with each label explaining why that animal represents the wine. I was especially intrigued by their Pét Nat (Pétillant Naturel or "naturally sparkling"), made with their Vermentino grapes using the ancestral method of bottling before the initial fermentation is complete. Fermentation continues in the bottle and the result: unfiltered, unpretentious, effervescence with a side of spunk! And with a low 9% ABV, it was the perfect casual patio-sipping wine for a sunny, post-thunderstorm kind of day! Pamec is a great wine bar addition to Old Town and I'm looking forward to stopping in again!
