Hubs & I just discovered this gem in Downtown Murrieta so we ordered several takeout items to share! 😋 We enjoy trying different recipes of Brussels Sprouts, and their Brussels Over Butternut are a tasty blend that did not disappoint! Their Avocado Toast has a healthy serving of avo 🥑 As vegetarian foodies, we also had to try their Impossible burgers with House Fries 🍔🍟 We added avocado for $5 but you get a whole avocado on your burger so it's worth it. We waited on the patio for our order, it had a very nice ambiance which we would like to return and experience when we're dining out again. Seasonal Halloween decor on the patio too ☠
Beautiful restaurant and bar. Fire burning tables available to eat at on outside patio. Inside area is s bit small,but super cozy. They have tall tables and booths with fluffy pillows. Staff was very very attentive and kind. Menu had lots of Vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. We tried the brussel sprouts, Salt and pepper fries, Spaghetti squash, vegan mac n cheese, regular Mac n cheese, chicken fingers,shrimp tacos and they sloppy Joseph.....all were super delicious. Definitly a great spot for dinner or drinks.
First time here, wow.... nice surprise, Josh was are server, so cool 😎 we had the Brussels... super good and the Poblano Escobar Dip is great also... Highly recommend this place to any newbies...
I love this place. The Pablo Escobar, wings and Mac and cheese were all amazing (we clearly dug in before taking a picture) but it was all amazing and their burger is also great as well. I think about their food often and I usually pick this place for a date night.
Great place. Highly recommended. If you like Brussel Sprouts, order them for your appetizer. I cook Brussels sprouts often and it’s difficult to get the perfect soft/crunch. They nailed it
One of the top food establishments we’ve visited in the Temecula area alongside Savage Chef in Menifee and the Renzoni restaurant in Temecula. The food, we ordered - garlic buffalo wings (8.2) with delicious seemingly homemade ranch - chicken pesto sandwich (7.5) but the fries were a 9.1 - ribeye (7.8) great The presentation for all was great too. The service: the hostess with the 444 tattoo was amazing. Super nice and attentive. Wish all servers were this great! The atmosphere: the outdoor area was phenomenal with gas fire pits and bench seating. The bathrooms were clean and great too, but the interior seating was definitely not as nice as the outdoor.
Vegan Brunch: Soyrizo Hash Vegan Appetizer: Vegan Mac & Cheese, Vegan Dinner: Linguine Arrabiatta A chic trendy full service restaurant, good for a sit-down meal. In addition to the natively vegan entrees, there’s a lunch burger with option to sub and Impossible patty at no extra charge - to veganize it ask them to omit the house sauce and cheese. Hopefully they’ll add a vegan dessert and a fully decked-out vegan burger, and bring back the Tempeh Tacos and Vegan Brussels Sprouts!
I have gluten tolerance issues, and was so excited that they have fresh sourdough bread here! I ordered a sandwich and fries, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I highly recommend! I don't live in the area, but I will be stopping here every chance I can!
The food here is absolutely delicious! I have been wanting to come here for years and never had the time. I think they make homemade ketchup as well which is a nice touch. The staff are attentive and kind. Absolutely will return!
I loved our stop at Downtown Public in Murrieta! First off, the little downtown area is such a vibe—not overcrowded, just the right amount of people and the kind of atmosphere that feels welcoming. We had just come from a spa day, so we weren’t super hungry and decided to split the Public Burger. Honestly, it was perfect—juicy, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. The drinks here are also really good (definitely worth trying a couple!). Our server was super nice and helped us pick out the right things, which made the whole experience even better. We sat outside, and the weather was absolutely perfect for it. Just a heads-up—you do have to wait to get seated, but it’s worth it, and there’s plenty of parking nearby. Overall, great food, great drinks, and such a chill spot to enjoy Murrieta’s downtown.
