Our server was excellent. The music was amazing, Gennie Frances. The only thing they should change is the hostess she was rude and very disrespectful. Food was amazing.

About the restaurant
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.

Awesome food as always. Ambiance is excellent. The only downside to this restaurant is the price. It is expensive. The average person or someone on a budget cannot afford to eat here.

Great evening spent at this place, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. A young lady was plying the harp beautifully near our table, which just took the experience to another level. The paella was perfection! The churros a must dessert.
