Charming

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.

On the site of the historic Knott Family Homestead, Small Barn has brought new life to a landmark building from the early 1900s. Great care has gone into preserving the structure and with it the legacy of a prominent Temecula family that was among the area’s first settlers. Small Barn has maintained the original residential scale and offers extensive outdoor seating including the large wrap-around porch, covered patio and fireside lounge seating.

This is a charming place to eat with amazing ambience and delicious food! We were told that the chef was upset because we asked to have our burger cut in half. Our first waiter was amazing, but we were handed off to a second waiter that was less than good. However, the place itself is worth going back to and we really enjoyed ourselves!

The steak was okay but far overpriced ($158) for the value. The the marrow and truffle crust was too salty and overpowered the flavor of the steak itself which was not cooked as requested. The artichoke was very good. The drinks were okay, but again, far overpriced. All in all, it was just okay and cost $360. The staff were kind and prompt.

We had an amazing meal at Small Barn on Thanksgiving weekend during a two day visit to Temecula. Atmosphere is warm and inviting, cocktails were well crafted and balanced, and our server Hannah was kind, friendly, and went on and beyond to make our experience excellent. Portions are of average size but the menu is planned well for sharing. Every dish was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend this establishment.

Visiting from Las Vegas. Found Small Barn and decided to give it a shot. Reviews were great and Small Barn didn’t disappoint. Food and drinks were unique and fresh. Beautiful covered and uncovered outdoor dining in Old Town next to the main street and yes they are dog friendly! Portions were perfect and after appetizer, entrees and desserts we didn’t leave hungry. Portions may seem small but then again some places have huge portions that you cant finish. Pricing is above average but the quality and atmosphere make it a worthwhile experience.

We came to Small Barm during our mini moon stay on wine country. We had never been to Old Town before and I happen to stumble upon Small Barn. What a delight! The ambience is beautiful with lovely indoor and outdoor seating. The bar inside was incredible. This small place definitely made an impression on us. We are still talking about the curry soup! Yum. We split the tomahawk steak and mushrooms. The steak was perfectly cooked and d paired nicely with their cab.
