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.

It's always fabulous at Miramonte! Hands down the best wine in Temecula 🍷!! The service is excellent & the employees are accommodating & wonderful! We've been members for a short time & wish the member area would be open on Sundays as those are the best days for us of the week. My husband works 6 days a week & loves to relax there. Hopefully one day our wish will cone true! Ashleigh & Nexi are the BEST

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!

He made sure he did everything like a professional. Our food was so good. Nothing we had was ok . All we had was Excellent. Duck, Sea bass, beet salad, Duck, Onion tart. Sooo good. Yes we hope to go again.

The Bouquet Restaurant @ Ponte Inn: Sunday Brunch has great food. The Eggs Benedict was delicious! Great food at good price. Lovely atmosphere. Really appreciated our waiter, Chris! His service was attentive and genial and not intrusive. Thank you, Ponte, for providing a wonderful place for my son, his girlfriend, and I to share wonderful conversation and great food!
