I have been a member at Ponte for many years and we held out our wedding in the garden in 2006. The restaurant at Ponta never disappoints. The bread served before the meal with vinaigrette scallion dip is outstanding.

Excellent food and service. The owner usually comes by your table to say hello and see if you need anything. Several of the wines offered from the owners vineyard are excellent.

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.

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!
