Small Barn Old Town

Great food and ambiance!

Outstanding food, service and experience. I will definitely go back. The hostess Mae was outstanding and quick to accommodate last minute reservation changes for a party of 5, and our server Frannie was exceptional, she was attentive and engaging with great recommendations. Only negative, we sat near a speaker and at times the music would fluctuate.

The food is delicious! I loved the trout crudo and the octopus dish, I've ordered both everytime I've gone. The mushrooms in duck fat was tasty, but not a particular standout. I also highly recommend the salmon!

The service was amazing! After having a terrible experience at a restaurant across the street, the staff at Small Barn turned our night around. Great food, great cocktails, great service! Will definitely be back.

My friends and I had the best time! Our server was the absolute best!

Great food and drinks. Everything at our table was amazing, the shrimp soup, the tuna app., the salmon, the steak, even the drinks and dessert. Not to mention beautiful spot. We will definitely return.

Great location in the heart of Old Town Temecula.

Another great culinary experience, the Breakfast Burger was delicious !

Excellent all around!!

The food at The Barn Old Temecula is excellent. We got a reservation at 7.15PM but only got seated at 7.50pm which is quite a long wait. We also noticed that some people who had reservation for 7.30pm but came around 7.15pm, just before us, were seated first which does not make sense. What is the purpose of a reservation if you are in line with people coming earlier than their actual reservation? It become a mere first come first served. Service was equally long. It took another 40 minute to get our food... It looks like they have a serious management issue in the kitchen.
The food is good enough to make up for all this waiting though, but I would think twice before coming back on a Friday or Saturday evening.

As other diners mention, a reservation at this restaurant is just a "place on the waiting list" which was okay, however we did have plans after dinner, so waiting the 35 minutes to be seated left us in a rush. Service was slow, however they were busy so we gave them a pass. Our food was good, not great as there were execution problems. I got the Thai coconut soup which was impossible to eat without long, uncut strands of cilantro hanging off of my spoon. Mushrooms were undercooked but tasty. The chicken with pesto was also good, but underwhelming (something you could make at home). Beverages were a highlight; I enjoyed the Sage Advice. Overall, I would give it another try when I'm not in a rush or on a less busy night of the week and wouldn't reorder any of the menu items I selected except for the drink.

Just don’t sit inside! Way too loud! We had the table right in the middle and my chair/purse kept getting bumped and it was incredibly loud.
Food and drinks were delicious but bummed we couldn’t enjoy it more with all the commotion.

We had the Steak Fries and the Sea Bass. Sea Bass was so awesome! Check this place out and ask for Anthony. Great service!

Second time at this restaurant. Love the quality of the food and drinks. The menu options are small which means they focus on quality.

Our waitress was literally the sweetest person. The ambience of the whole place was adorable and so nice. Food was perfect. The only thing I have to blame is my expensive taste for the food haha but it was worth it!! Also they make amazing cocktails.

Living in Philadelphia for the last decade, I have been very fortunate to be exposed to a plethora of different and delicious cuisines. However, after going to small barn it completely changed my perspective of great cuisine. Their tomahawk steak was literally out of this world and anyone who comes to Temecula, I highly recommend you go. Every part of the experience from the hostess who seated us, to the wonderful and knowledgeable server (Hannah), and the passionate manager and head chef solidified my reason to come back one day to California.

Small Barn has a fantastic menu for seafood lovers. The trout crudo and octopus dishes are wonderful. The burger and fries are also very rich and satisfying. The only dish that I didn't like was the pesto chicken. The plating an dish itself seemed out of sync with the rest of the menu. It was very basic and my chicken was raw inside. I would encourage folks to stick with the seafood as that is where the strength lies. The ambiance is very cute.

The food here is always amazing, the service not so much. It was our fourth time here because we love the food but it will be the last time because service has been bad all four times.

Had reservation but was asked to wait over 12 min to be seated. Then once seated had to flag down a bus boy to ask if we had a waiter assigned to our table because another 15 minutes had gone by. Then a server came out and said I guess I’ll take your table I don’t know what happened. Wrong appetizer came out. Then once entrees came mine was rare when asked for medium and husbands steak was wrong cut, which we said was fine as long as we weren’t charged the $35 more cut as we didn’t want to wait another 15 min for him to eat with the rest of the group. Was told no, his correct cut would be coming. So we all finished while he waited.

The food, service, and drinks were all excellent. The steak frites was incredible

This was our second time dining at Small Barn Old Town. We enjoyed Brunch so much that we thought we would go back for dinner. Everything was incredible. I highly recommend the Pesto Chicken and the Beet Salad. Amazing!

The ambiance was incredible: casual + chic + delicious outdoor seating.
Service was flawless: attentive and personal.
Food was exceptional: ahi tuna and shrimp + lemongrass soup were my winners. My husband and son loved the steak frites. Make sure to ask for a kids’ burger if you come with little ones.

An elevated level of dining that Temecula always craved! Finally we have a great outdoor dining restaurant with amazing food!

The food we had was delicious, however there seemed to be a significant amount of disconnect between the order and timing. We ordered a bottle of wine (it never came) and a cola (it never came), and that is a large amount of revenue lost to this restaurant. The servers were working very hard and it was busy so this (I’m sure) added to the timing issues.

The food wasn’t the best. The order came out wrong and service was slow. Constantly has to ask for water. Lots of flies and the waitress forgot my aunts birthday!! She seemed annoyed when she had to remake the burger and my 12 year old niece felt bad. She did apologize when she came back, but still. Also, she was reminded it was a birthday 2x.

The food is phenomenal. I have eaten here 6 times and I am never disappointed. The charcuterie board is amazing every time. My favorite in old town Temecula!

This was or first time at Small Barn Old Town and we loved it! We went for brunch and our Server Lanny was amazing. She walked us through the whole menu, suggested her favorites and stopped by the table multiple time to see if we needed anything. We want to go back and experience the dinner menu.

The food is incredible! I think I found my new favorite restaurant.

Wonderful sexy ambiance with great food!

Cute date night restaurant. Not a big menu but everything was yummy. The beet salad was to die for

Everything was great! Just beware the Nats swarm at night!!!

Great, unique, & delicious food.

Amazing food and drinks! Awesome service! Loved the atmosphere!

Lunch was fantastic from cocktails through dessert on the patio!

It was our first visit and we will definitely go back. Our server was attentive and professional. The food was delicious with a very appealing presentation. The decor is very welcoming! A gem!

Food & service were exceptional. The only recommendation I make is that the “lounge” tables alongside the building should be taller to make dining convenient. If I were merely having drinks, the setting would be ideal. Unfortunately bending over to enjoy a full meal was taxing. Other than this minor flaw, the restaurant is a pleasure to dine at.

Great from start to finish!

Such a cute place, the ambiance was so perfect. It was my anniversary so I was excited to try this place. Our sever seemed to have too many things going and we had to ask him more than once for simple things which then became disappointing. One of our dishes was good while the other lacked a few things. One dish also came out 5 min before the second one which in turn, my dish became colder while I waited for my husbands dish to come to us.

Incredible food & desert! Highly recommend.

Everything about Small Barn is just amazing, from the aesthetic to the service and food. Came here on a Thursday afternoon with my sister-in-law for some girl time. The staff was super friendly, our waitress was just the best! She made awesome recommendations for cocktails and food. It’s the perfect place to have yummy drinks and food with your gal pals! I loved the ambiance here! Everything was just so charming and cute! Make sure you get cute pics at their hanging chairs! 10/10
