1909 - Temecula

My brother, husband, and cousins visited this restaurant around Christmas, and we had such a fantastic time that we returned the very next day and the day after that! My husband and I were visiting from out of town, and we absolutely adored the Christmas theme and decorations. The salmon and goat cheese salad was incredible, and the mint shots we tried were simply addictive! The service was very friendly and impressively quick, considering how busy it was. This place has definitely become one of our favorite spots while we're in the area!

I decided to try this restaurant for a last-minute birthday dinner, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. However, I found it a bit crowded, which made it challenging to move around—getting to our table and accessing the bathroom was not always easy. On the bright side, the food was tasty, the place was clean, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the crab and shrimp empanadas based on the waitress's recommendation, and they were full of flavor. The white sangria was also a delight. I’m looking forward to returning and sampling more items from the menu. I’m giving it four stars due to the seating situation and the bustling downtown atmosphere, which led to some noisy pedestrians looking in, although that’s not the restaurant's fault.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 1909 Temecula, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. This restaurant boasts an excellent variety of options, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, so there's something for everyone at any hour. I highly recommend 1909 Temecula for its outstanding food, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a fulfilling lunch, or an unforgettable dinner, this restaurant truly excels in every way. Be sure to explore their delightful bar offerings too. You won't be disappointed!

This place was really good the service was 10/10. The food was really good but the portions are a little small. The yellow curry was so good and the shrimp chorizo was so bomb. The dessert was okay. I wish they had more items on the menu for dessert. I still give this place 5 stars!!!!

Loved the food and the cocktails here! I was in the area at another spot down the street and I met a real sweet couple who apparently work at 1909. We had a great conversation and it was apparent they knew good food and drinks. They recommended the shrimp and chorizo app- get it on rice but ALSO get the baguette. Which of course I did. When I ordered it the bartender who helped me said “oh yeah! Best thing on the menu!” I haven’t tried the rest of the menu but this plate was amazing. It was expertly seasoned- I feel like there might even have been some filé (Cajun spice that typically goes in gumbo) in? Not sure but it was noticeably well made. Cocktails were also great, I can’t remember which one I got but it had a flower garnish which was really lovely- the flower aroma was that of a marigold and the scent really added to the flavor of the drink- more than I would’ve expected. Definitely check it out! Service was also really good even tho it was busy- I sat at the bar.
