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.

We had a good time but unfortunately the waitress was very rushed and irritable. She rushed us out with the check without even asking if we were done, she brought the check and once we paid she took my sons food away without asking and he was not done, when I asked her to come back she had taken only 5 steps away from the table but she was irritated by it. She also showed clear signs of irritation when I said we would split the check which was an easy thing since she does it all on her tablet. I would still go back, the food was great and ambience too but they should watch their service a little better

My sisters and I had one of our best meals in town. Lovely flavors and large portions that we shared family style. Such a cute outdoor area lit up at night. Space heaters kept us warm and comfy. Definitely give this farm to table restaurant a try. Will become your new fave!

This was a great place to have dinner. However it was my 2 year anniversary and there was nothing specifically done to celebrate even though I indicated it on the website. Not even a mention from the staff at all. Besides that, great food, great ambience, definitely would come back

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.
