Talia Kitchen was hands down one of the highlights of our visit to Murrieta Hot Springs Resort. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and restorative--perfectly reflecting the wellness-focused spirit of the resort. The open, beautiful space felt like it nourished both the body and soul. We started with the House Focaccia & Whipped Fresh Ricotta, topped with saba reduction, pine nut gremolata, and moon drop grapes. It was absolutely incredible and the perfect way to begin the meal. We also enjoyed the Roasted Potato Purée alongside our dinner, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The dehydrated parsley, fried garlic, and grilled scallion oil elevated a seemingly simple dish into something truly memorable. For our entrée, we both ordered the Braised Brandt Beef Prime Short Rib, served with stokes purple yam purée, bon shimeji mushroom conserve, kohlrabi, and black trumpet demi-glace. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and beautifully prepared. To finish, we enjoyed the Lemon Posset with pickled blueberry compote, lavender chantilly, and English shortbread--light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. And of course, the espresso martini was a must! The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We loved Talia Kitchen so much that even if we aren't staying at the resort or spending the day at the hot springs, we'd absolutely make the trip back just for dinner. We can't wait to return! read more

Third visit here and it continues to impress every single time. The food is thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully executed without trying too hard. You can truly taste the farm to table concept in every dish, simple, well curated recipes that let the quality of the ingredients shine. The scallops and grilled prawns were absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The cocktails were exceptional as well. I had the matcha martini and my husband ordered the chai brown butter old fashioned, both unique and incredibly well balanced. Service was exceptional from start to finish. Every server we've encountered has been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely takes pride in serving great food. We also really appreciated the "young adult" menu for our son. He loved the butter pasta with Parmesan and the frozen green grapes were such a fun touch. A restaurant that manages to feel elevated yet warm and approachable. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Okay where do we start? Great vibe/ cute inside, ambiance was nice. Our server may have been one of the most knowledgeable waiters we've ever had at a restaurant - Andy! Thank you friend what a wonderful evening, going above and beyond in your service and knowledge. The FOOD, wow! Started with the Whipped ricotta cheese app, super bomb. Entrees: Tiger Prawns, Scallops, Short Ribs, got 3 entrees and split! Tiger prawns not a big portion. Short ribs is a big portion (leftovers yay!). Scallops is the perfect portion. Everything was wonderful. This was the perfect little date spot read more

A unique experience to say the least. Seating in doors and outside was a treat. The outside looked like a better option the day we went but we didn't want to be in the heat so we opted to go inside. A little dark inside, but was treated to a nice table lamp to help with the darkness. The food was delicious and visually stunning. The flavor pallet was not what my wife and I normally go for so we caught a bit off by the combinations of the flavors. The bread and the cream cheese dish was so good (sorry I forget the name). A fun, different choice than what we normally go to, so it was worth a try. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Excellent food and delightful service. I was treating my sister to a bday outing at Murietta Hot Springs and decided to try their on-premise restaurant for dinner. We made reservations, which is recommended. It's a really nice space, with a beautiful patio, but it was way too chilly to dine outdoors when we were there. The inside was all warm white and earth tones--cozy but sophisticated. Since it was my sister's bday, they gave us complimentary glasses of bubbly (south coast winery guertzeminer), as will as a card signed by the staff--a very nice touch. As for the food: - Kale salad (impeccably fresh produce and a delicious dressing) - vegan pasta (a little on the salty side, but still delicious, and they gave me a sizable portion) - half chicken for my sister (looked great, and she enjoyed it) Our server Andy was a total star. Friendly, prompt, and willing to go the extra mile. He found us some cut fruit even though it wasn't on the menu, since that was what we were craving for dessert. A great experience overall, would definitely try again. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Talia and we really enjoyed our meal. Our server was amazing and he even gave us complimentary wine and a little card from the staff. We shared the focaccia and ricotta appetizer which was amazing! It's definitely a must have. My husband had the scallops which he really enjoyed and I had the shrimp which was very good. The only thing we didn't really enjoy is that we were the ONLY table in the restaurant (at 6:15) yet they chose to sit us in a dark corner by the kitchen entrance. It was very difficult to read the menu so they had to bring us a little lamp. Not sure why we were shoved in the corner when every other table was available. read more

Wow. Just wow. I've been to a lot of farm to table, health focused restaurants but this was another level.

Well done! read more

Cute little resort vibe! Stuff was lovely and kind. Everyone was happy to be there! Food was delicious and fresh! But OMG the focaccia sour dough bread is probably the best bread I've ever had I literally want Boxes of it. And the ricotta dip served with it was refreshing and just so yummy. Small menu which I love. Helps make easy decisions, it was also our anniversary and our server gave us a glass of champagne as a toast. It was sweet! Literally go here and try this focaccia. I didn't get a picture but trust in me!! Unbelievable. This chef needs to open a bakery!!! read more

On May 25, 2025, during our trip to Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, we had dinner that evening at Talia Kitchen, the restaurant located inside the resort. The ambience was very nice, the staff were all friendly, and every dish we tried was delicious. The appetizers, entrées, desserts, and even the coffee were all very good. The only downside was that the portion sizes were quite small. However, we enjoyed the food and had a very pleasant and enjoyable evening. read more

Incredible. Set inside a bright and beautiful restaurant, very fitting for the rest of the resort. We had low expectations for a spa restaurant but we were completely blown away. Our server was so well informed and helped us make some very delicious choices. We had the house made focaccia served alongside with a creamy yogurt dip, the vegetarian squash dish, lamb and salmon entrees. All dishes were flavorful, inventive and very fresh. read more

Talia's was... unreal. I'm still thinking about it. We started with the focaccia, which honestly set the tone for the entire meal. Warm, pillowy bread paired with a ricotta cheese dip and parsley oil so good I abandoned all manners and ate it by the spoonful. No regrets. None. Then came the scallops--perfectly cooked, tender, and beautifully balanced with turmeric, broccolini, and mashed potatoes that deserve their own paragraph. These were hands-down the creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life. Silky, rich, impossibly smooth--like they'd been whipped by a wizard who only works with butter and dreams. Every single element on the plate was cooked exactly right, and the flavors played together like they'd rehearsed. The setting made it even more special. We were tucked back into this perfect little corner, cozy and intimate, where it felt like the rest of the restaurant gently disappeared. Quiet, romantic, and just the right amount of secluded--ideal for lingering, laughing, and soaking in the moment together. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Jesus and Miguel were phenomenal. We never once had to look around for help or wait for anything--our glasses were refilled before we noticed they were low, and every need was anticipated with warmth and ease. Attentive without hovering, proactive without being intrusive. The kind of service that makes you feel genuinely cared for. Everything about the experience felt intentional and elevated without being pretentious. Thoughtful, warm, and genuinely impressive. This is the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite, look at the person you're with, and say, "Are you tasting this?" Talia's isn't just good--it's memorable. Romantic, delicious, and the kind of place that resets your standards and lingers long after the table's cleared. Still in shock. Still dreaming about it. read more

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while now and decided to come here with my family on my actual birthday to celebrate. I was pleasantly surprised to know that they offer a kids' menu. Everything from the food to service was exceptional. There was always someone available for questions or for any needs. Seating was spacious in a moderately lit area. Their dishes were cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. I was extremely satisfied with my dessert (lemon posset). I would definitely come here again. read more

Walked in about an hour before closing. I planned on sitting at the bar to eat and drink. The bar was full of people waiting for a table. They had tables outside but they were not seating anyone outside. The wait was very long. I ordered the matcha martini but it didn't really agree with me after the first 2 sips, so I asked the bar tender to discard it. She was nice and tossed it for me but didn't remove it from my bill $18 was crazy for a martini. The scallops were divine perfectly cooked and the flavors were phenomenal. The fritters that came with them were not my favorite but thats okay. I would come back here again for the food. You can charge to your room. I don't think you need to be a guest to eat here as it is located right by hotel check in. read more

Thank you for taking care of us Andy! We stayed at the hot springs for my friend's birthday, and this was the perfect dinner for us that day. Big protein portion for the chicken, healthy, and delicious!! The whipped ricotta was so good too (appetizer). Andy nailed it for our drinks, and brought bubbles for us to cheers our friend. Andy also told us the super interesting history of the place! I can't wait to go back! read more

Talia Kitchen is a newly opened fine dining establishment part of Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, offering Italian/French fusion cuisine. I thought that the service and wait staff were amazing! We received a free complimentary non-alcoholic apple cider champagne for us to celebrate our anniversary which was a great pallet cleanser in-between dishes. I do heavily rate based on food quality though, so I'll start with my most favorite dishes of the night... Food: Ronnie's Focaccia & Whipped Fresh Ricotta (4.5/5): Picturesque and Instagram worthy, the ricotta was the dish that brings people back for more. I liked the blend of the sweet tartness of the picked persimmons which tasted almost like plums and dates, with the rich ricotta cream and bread. Green Chickpea Hummus (2/5): Not my favorite hummus fare; I missed the starchy bean quality of most hummus. The pita bread grain overpowered much of the hummus flavor as well. Prime Back Loin Center Cut Local Swordfish (4/5): My favorite main, I felt that the squash cream sauce with the refreshing white fish was a great complement to each other. Mary's Farm Duck Breast, Duck Confit (3.5/5): I love duck but I think having it as a confit was disappointing. I definitely feel that Taiwanese or Cantonese style with the crispy edges brings out the best of the meat, but I still enjoyed it. Frog Hollow Peach Crostada (2.5/5): Given the name, I thought that the peach cobbler's crust would be nice, flakey, and buttery but it was more sad and soggy like day-old danish at your local grocery store. The peaches were more on the tart side, a slight sweetness to go with it would have been nice. Perhaps a blend of white and yellow peaches for next time? Overall, I liked some items definitely more than others. I was somewhat disappointed with the food quality considering this was supposed to be "fine dining" or in the $$$ price category. The ricotta was great, and for that, I would probably return but not sure about the rest of the items. read more

It was cute, cafeteria but upscale style. The busser was great, terrific warm personality. Food was overly salted and too much butter - for $300 we each had an appetizer, meal and two drinks. We left most of our food behind (scallops and ribs). We both felt sick from the salt and butter the next day, my friend's eyes were swollen from the salt and my stomach wrecked. At one point I put a bite of food (beets) in my mouth and it was like eating a straight salt cube. The server was very high anxiety, nice, but clearly stressed. It is also useless to ask folks how their meal is 15 minutes after you drop it off, at that point they have to say fine, especially if it was over 30 minutes until they had water and then they had to wait for the order and food. I am sure chef is good but was just busy and heavy handed with salt or had a su making the sauces or something but I can not recommend this spot at all. We expected to love it but were very disappointed and felt terrible from the heavy handed use of butter and mostly salt. read more

What an absolute gem of a surprise. We can't be more impressed. Service and hospitality fantastic. Food unique, well thought out flavor profiles and overall lovely ambience. The Moroccan chicken and the salmon was chefs kiss. Only change would be to do a basil oil for the ricotta/ focaccia app than the parsley one. But that's just preference. Thank you to Miguel and staff for a lovely time. read more

We are staying at the Murietta Hot Springs so we wanted to check out the restaurant on the premises. Made a reservation at Talia's via Open Table in order to earn my points. It was conveniently located near the hotel check in building. The restaurant was nicely decorated. It had an old vibe with the classic terra cotta tile floors but modern touches with the macrame wall decor and the greenery and flowers that they had out. I read about their dress code and it was nice to see that while their official dress code is business casual, they are more open given that lots of guests from the resort will likely dine there also. Our wait staff were great. Andrew was an awesome waiter. Jesus, his assistant, was so friendly and attentive! Andrew was so knowledgeable about the menu and how different dishes were prepared. He also made great drink recommendations. We got the matcha martini and the basil giblets to start. The matcha drink was super creamy!! The gimlet was refreshing! We also got the focaccia and whipped ricotta appetizer. That was YUM! You should absolutely order it. We had the cavetelli pasta and the steak for dinner. The pasta was light on the sauce so it didn't feel too heavy. The steak was perfectly cooked at medium and the flavor profile was excellent! The corn succotash that accompanied the steak was perfection. Loved this place and glad it was our first meal in Murietta during our stay. Great way to kick off our vacation! read more

This place was beyond amazing. I wanted to take my wife to a fancy dinner for her birthday, and we've been to Michelin star places where we left hungry and poor and disappointed. This is the level of fancy I've always wanted with those places: you definitely can't make this at home yourself, you don't know what the 20 ingredients are on a super fancy plate, and each bite is mind blowing. 3 of us shared a $240 meal with tip and drinks and were crazy full and happy. The ricotta appetizer: 5/5 must get. Everyone was talking about this at the adjacent spa. Moroccan chicken: 5/5 the other thing everyone was talking about, must get Roasted carrots with smoked blueberries: 5/5 crazy flavor ride Salmon:5/5 a ton of flavor and I'm not a huge fan of salmon Squash: 4/5 it was really tasty and I think it just might be hard to compete with all the other crazy stuff on the table Cons: full disclosure they forgot about us for a long time, I think there was some sort of miscommunication when we switched to the patio. But they were so nice and accommodating about it, even when I think they were closing at that point. I don't go to really fancy restaurants all the time, and they asked which kind of water I wanted "Spring, Sparkling or Purified?" I had no idea what to say and just said "spring" when purified is the free answer lol. I was surprised when they brought out a fancy glass bottle of water and charged $10 for it. I don't care about any of that though, the experience was amazing and I'd 100% go here for every meal that they're open at the hot springs resort. read more

We were staying at the Marietta Hot Springs Resort, and didn't want to drive for dinner, so we made a reservation at Talia Kitchen with no expectations. What a delightful surprise! The staff was professional and polite, and our server, Alex, was exceptional. She has a wealth of knowledge not only of the menu, but of the restaurant itself. She shard that local artisans make most of the dishes and flatware, and that the menu reflects what's in season. When we ordered the kale salad, she let us know that it was mostly mixed greens, which was fine, but I really appreciated the heads up. Then there was the food. Everything we ordered was delicious. My husband had the scallops-- they were like butter, perfectly seared!-- and I had the Moroccan-Spiced Mary's Half Chicken. Every bite of the chicken was slightly different, making me eager for the next taste. Compliments to the Chef! It is abundantly clear that the entire team at Talia kitchen is invested in its success. Come with an empty stomach and a sense of adventure. read more

Honestly, probably the best meal we had in recent memory. The flavors, while unconventional were truly a fabulous experience. The term orgasmic comes to mind, but that makes it seem a little dirty. However, we ALL felt this place is a restaurant we would definitely come back to and whenever my parents back come to visit, or my in laws, we would definitely make sure to take them here. Unfortunately l didn't take any pics of the beautiful food because my parents are old school so l didn't take out my phone at all. But the pictures of the food here on Yelp are indicative of the deliciously edible creations of art they make. Prices are considered pricey. But the quality is absolutely on par with the prices. I ordered the beef short ribs at $58. Not cheap but to be honest, my mom and l were splitting them. Not only did we have enough to split between us, l gave my husband and my step dad large chunks of meat for them to try. They both ordered the Moroccan chicken. While most reviews of it come with high praise, nobody at the table would have ordered it again. The beef ribs were the star of the show as far as entrees tried. Our appetizers were actually the fun and unique experience. We ordered a green chickpea hummus and the focaccia and whipped fresh ricotta. We hadn't heard of green chick peas. My mom isn't a huge fan of hummus but we all ate EVERY bite of both appetizers! And a good tip is to order them both and eat them together. The green chickpea hummus and the focaccia?! Divine! Truly. I still dream about it! We also ordered the date and nectarine (?) "ice cream". Again, two flavor combos you wouldn't think would go together. Well, it was a smash hit also. Everyone loved it and we raved about it. Let's move on to service. We were seated at a table outside on the beautiful and picturesque patio. We then were given a server and she came with what seemed to be an assistant. The prices are there for not just quality of food, but quality of service. The dynamic duo were amazing together and we had an absolutely fabulous memory of a great experience and meal. You would have a very difficult time finding this level of service anywhere else in the area. I would even dare to say, you probably wouldn't find it. That's totally fine, we will continue to be loyal customers. Would we come back? Absolutely! I cannot wait to go back! I would like to try to come maybe every other month. If we had unlimited funds, l would come here weekly. read more
