Small Barn is an exciting part of the Temecula restaurant landscape offering a casual but elevated dining experience in the form of a modern bistro. The menu is inspired by classic preparations found on bistro menus around the globe while showcasing the bounty of ingredients produced in the region. The restaurant atmosphere is crafted to be a welcoming gathering place that is beautifully designed and relaxed, but with a vibrant energy that encourages socializing and discovery.

    Took forever to get our orders in. We only saw the waitress once. Couldn’t even order additional drinks or simple salt & pepper. By the time they came around food was cold and we were ready to go. When I gave the waitress feedback she was dismissive.

    Waitress was not very knowledgeable about substitutions or accommodations for dietary restrictions. Food was decent. I wore sandals and got sand in my shoes because the grounds were not paved...just a thought!

    We went for brunch on Easter Sunday with our 4 teen and tween kids. Sat on the patio in one of their tables with padded booth-like seating. Super clean, kind of trendy and cute all around. Great Umbrella coverage so you don’t get too much sun. My husband and I shared the Eggs Benedict and Ube French Toast. The Ube French Toast looks crazy purple but tastes delish, very nice flavor, not too strong with the Ube or the matcha. Kids got Steak and Eggs, Eggs Your Way and smoked salmon avocado toast. We also ordered the butter cake for dessert. I would actually give this place a 4-1/2 stars just because the portion size seems a little on the small side but that being said, we walked away not feeling overly stuffed with a stomach ache so that was nice. Very good overall, we would go back. Beautiful relaxing setting for Easter Sunday and staff was attentive and friendly.

    This was our second visit to the Small Barn and it was wonderful both times. The chef has a great palate and everything is very tasty. Short ribs, scallops, whole sea bass. Excellent ambiance and service as well. We will be back!
