Talia Kitchen truly exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was beautiful--elegant yet comfortable, making it perfect for a special occasion. Andy and Felicia provided outstanding service; they were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening. The food was excellent and absolutely justified the price--every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. And the cocktails? Delicious and perfectly crafted. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Talia Kitchen made our anniversary dinner truly memorable, and we're already looking forward to coming back. read more

Amazing! Our waiter was one of the best we have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, took his time explaining items, and the service was attentive and quick. The standouts for sure: the ricotta and focaccia wow - must get! The chicken was spiced, delicious, and moist. The large ribeye steak packed on a lot of flavor, and was on the sweeter side bc of the fruits and coffee, and the frogs hollow peach desert was an incredible way to end our meal . This is a special gem in this area! 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

The food was super good. Definitely get the potato puree and the salmon. Our servers were very friendly too. I like the fun decor and dish-ware too. read more

Service was excellent. The food was different but very tasty. Each item is served as a shareable plate. We had the ribeye which was seasoned very well. The only thing we didn't care for were the blueberries on top. We also ordered the roasted puree potatoes which were so good. The summer squash was okay. Not our favorite. Our server was very attentive, without hovering. We also stayed at the resort so being able to add the charges to our room was convenient. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday dinner here and we were impressed by Andy. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and answer whatever questions we had. We really enjoyed the focaccia!! For dinner we both ordered ribeye steaks medium rare and they came out medium hence the 4 star review. It was still delicious nonetheless. Our friend ordered Mary's chicken and the flavors on that dish were delightful! All in all, great place to dine and the service and atmosphere excellent. read more

Talia kitchen will treat you to amazing locally sourced food which rich flavor. We loved the family style dining and the selections of mocktails and cocktails. We left full and happy! The best part of my experience at Talia kitchen was the staff who made the experience so memorable. When I called about the reservation, Andy assured me that we would have a great night celebrating my bachelorette party and my bestie's birthday. He was not wrong! Justin and Alex attended to us all night and made us feel like we were eating at a friend's house. Their warm hospitality was incredible. Alex brought my friend and I drinks on the house for our celebrations! I loved how she noticed I was drinking a mocktail and brought me a sparkling cider, her attention to detail was amazing! At the end of the night, she brought my friend and I cards signed by all the staff. It was so kind and thoughtful! I loved dining with my friends and enjoying the special moments. The food and service at Talia Kitchen made the night perfect!! read more

I'm always surprised when this restaurant isn't packed. The food is so good. Everything is made from scratch. You can't beat the quality. Our waiter Ryan ( i think thats his name. He said he's the front manager?) Was absolutely great. He sold us just about everything on the menu. Lol read more

My boyfriend Chris and I came here during our stay at the resort for two nights of dinners. The menu is seasonal, and rotating, but still a decent size menu. Inside is dark and romantic, outside patio is light and fun. We tried a good variety of items: Mushroom tart was exquisite with shaved Parmesan, the swordfish & prawns were wonderful with great South African, and Caribbean flavors. (Hush puppies) omg The desert: Peach crustata with this cardamom ice cream, whew! And the sesame dark choc cake and chai ice cream. Speechless I also enjoyed the Grand Gala dovetail and it was so cute and perfect. * Our server (K)Cassara? was so nice and bubbly. Dinner here+ plus the resort was the perfect combo! read more

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting much. Not that Talia doesn't have great reviews and the food looked delicious, but I'm picky I'm also gluten sensitive and dairy free so I thought my options would be limited. But my husband planned a sweet date night and this was our dinner spot. The interior was beautiful- very modern. The service was great! Very attentive. The cocktails were so so, should've had wine. But the food, the food was wonderful! We shared the hummus which I loved. My husband thought it was good but wouldn't order again. I had the ahi. The flavor! Wowww. Absolutely delicious! Idk what is in the rice but I'm still thinking about it. My husband had the chicken and it was incredibly flavorful as well. read more

This place is food taste was so good but on the other hands, their food portion is so skimpy and so little. I could not believe my eyes that how much little they serve the food. I understand that they do the fine dining all that. But after I finished the meal, I was still hungry and not satisfied at all. Other than that, the servers are all friendly and quick. The good taste was good and had good vibe all the way around the restaurant. I guess I may have to eat something else before I go back to this restaurant for the next time. read more

Mainly come for the ricotta dip. Please put some fruit back in it. It definitely is better with a bit of sweet.

Great restaurant with many options! I enjoyed non-alcoholic beverages and the food complimented it well. Would return.

We visited Murrieta Hot Springs and came across this great restaurant. It has a spacious patio area and a generously sized indoor dining space. Make sure to book a reservation in advance. We were starving, so we ordered the whipped ricotta, short ribs, swordfish, and for my son, the butternut squash pasta and salmon. Most of the dishes came in generous portions, and I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation. The food was absolutely delicious! My favorite dishes were the swordfish and the whipped ricotta. The fish was incredibly tender and paired beautifully with a well-balanced curry sauce. The ricotta was smooth, creamy, and paired perfectly with the bread. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. The only downside was that the short ribs didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of quality. Still, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Over priced but unfortunately not great. The plated look nice but the taste is lacking

Top two restaurant in all of Temecula, IMO. We had the Moroccan chicken and pureed potatoes. Oh, and the salmon and Ricotta cheese and focaccia bread. Everything, including the service and atmosphere was very, very good. Tons I could say, but overall, just go. You won't be let down by the experience. read more

Talia Kitchen - Moroccan chicken. Mind blowing. - Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

Our waiter Miguel was great. Food was good although portions were way too small and overpriced.

Beautiful dining experience! We spent our Anniversary at the hotsprings and dined here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The staff - 5 stars! Everyone was super attentive, informed, and accomodating. The food - 5 stars! Flavors were on point, portions were reasonable, presentation was beautiful. Drinks - 5 stars! Such interesting and unique, delicious combinations. Definitely recommend for a romantic date night. It was pricey, but we felt the quality and experience was well worth it. read more

The food was absolutely incredible. The staff there was phenomenal, and our server, Alex, was truly amazing. She went above and beyond to add to our experience. She was patient with all of our questions and was extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions. I have never had such an amazing server and dining experience, and it is all thanks to Alex. She is truly a gem! read more

Sadly shocked by the good reviews. The ambiance inside is weird, with bright spot lights that make you feel like you're being interrogated. But, a lovely wine list and friendly service so that wasn't a deal breaker! The food was awful. The $19 hummus appetizer was so one-note (parsley) and the whole wheat pita it came with was just bad with no zataar spice as advertised. The cavatelli pasta was the worst dish I've had... maybe ever. It was the first time I've ever told a waiter I couldn't eat a dish and sent it back. It was so salty and tasted like... cayenne pepper? There was NO other flavor. It was wildly bad. My friend liked the curry sauce on their fish but said the fish was super overcooked. Make sure you make a reservation for outside dining and PLEASE whatever you do, do not get the Cavatelli pasta! read more

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary, and it was a great experience. Our server Andy was amazing - very knowledgeable about the menu and very nice. The food and drinks were delicious! The hosts and bartenders were very nice as well. read more

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything about our experience at Talia was incredible--the staff, the service, and the food. I have a long list of allergies, but the staff was so thoughtful and accommodating that I was still able to enjoy every bite of their delicious dishes. Not only was the food amazing, but every cocktail we ordered was absolutely spot on. Favorites included the matcha martini, coco creamcicle and whipped ricotta--all must-tries! Do yourself a favor: spend some time at the spa, then make a reservation at Talia. You won't regret it! PS: manager Daniel and server Alex were incredible!!!!! read more

Great service for a bachelorette party! Really enjoyed the Moroccan chicken! All the girls loved their dishes.

Talia Kitchen is amazing I am stunned they do not have a line out of the door every night. Great ambiance indoors and outdoors. Our server Alex did amazing.

We had a nice dinner, but a bit disappointed that both the steak and duck were sold out, especially since they're popular items. We ended up with the chicken and prawns. The chicken was juicy, and while the prawns were tasty, it was pricey for just two. The roasted potato purée was our favorite dish of the night. Our waiter was kind, apologetic, and even brought us champagne for our honeymoon, which was a lovely touch. Dessert (black sesame dark chocolate cake) was just okay. Great service, but limited menu availability might keep us from coming back. read more

Went here for my hubbys holiday party at work service was great and food was tasty . Small little restaurant .

Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Service was impeccable. Alex will take the night from good to great!

Dinner here was quite the experience! There is really nothing "normal" on the menu so be prepared for a more adventurous meal. The menu is also fairly limited (see photos). We had a party of 7 and ordered several things that we all shared. We had the whipped ricotta & pasta to start which we all enjoyed. Then the potato puree (basically very smooth mashed potatoes) and onion tart - my favorite! It was amazing . And the chicken - it was ok but the flavors were not my favorite. We also got the chocolate cake and the galette for desert. There is a lot going on in each dish with flavors and textures which created a lot of fun and interesting conversation at our table. Probably wouldn't go back but it was a good experience. If you're a foodie, definitely check it out, especially if you are staying at the resort! read more

Service was great! Food was sadly subpar. I had the short ribs and they did not seem to be prepared correctly. It was like they did not sear them first and just braised them in beef broth. No tomato paste, no wine, no seasoning. And the accoutrements were underwhelming. Everything was underseasoned. The panna cotta came out like runny yogurt. It was not set at all. Nothing I had was enjoyable and I regret not sending it back. It was such a bummer because its a beautiful space and a great resort. It is also not cheap. I really hope yall do better tbh :/ read more

I was looking for an upscale dining experience for my birthday. I really liked that Talia Kitchen had a vegan option on the menu. The hostess was very nice and said happy birthday as she saw on the reservation I was there for my birthday. The restaurant ambiance is typical of an average restaurant although it was quiet and peaceful. There is no dress code so you can dress up, however the tables near us were in tee shirts and others were in bathing suit cover ups. The menu is more of a tapas style where dishes are brought out whenever they are ready. The server was very nice and accommodating. I ordered the squash as recommended without the burrata cheese to make it vegan. The squash came out first and it was very tasty! :) It was a bit awkward eating and waiting for my hubby's food. We waited a bit and then the mashed potatoes came out. It was nice that he had something to eat so I could eat. I finished the squash and was still hungry so I ordered the cavatelli pasta (vegan dish). While waiting for the pasta the chicken came out. My husband really enjoyed the chicken. :) My pasta arrived fairly quickly. Unfortunately it was bland and disappointing , but the server handled it well although the manager never came by. :( This restaurant had great service, however the server could have acknowledged my birthday in some way? There are very tasty options on the menu for non-vegans that are tapas style so if that is what you are looking for give it a try. This definitely was not for me. I think there are some kinks to work out at this restaurant especially for the price. read more

Was shocked at how delicious this food experience was ...ate there two nights in a row and were blown away as we were not expecting much . We are super picky and have our food standards set high ...they did not disappoint. Deffo will be back ... thanks Andy and the team ...amazing job ! read more

Quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. The whipped ricotta is what dreams are made of. The salmon, carrots, squash, all OUTSTANDING! We also had the black sesame chocolate cake. I didn't get a picture of that, but it was also delicious. The chef is an absolute genius! Hope he opens a restaurant in Santa Clarita so I don't have to make the 2 hour drive down lol. Our waitress and busser were absolute gems. I wish I remembered their names but they were fabulous as well! 10/10 on food, staff and ambiance. Wish I lived closer, I would be here every weekend! read more

Came here to celebrate a 60th birthday for a great friend. We decided to stay on the resort grounds for dinner and take advantage of the facilities. We started in the bar and ordered a bottle of Grgich Chardonnay only to find out the didn't have any. Bummer. Ordered a glass of Chardonnay instead. Dan, the manager, gave us great suggestions. We started with the whipped ricotta and focaccia bread. Omg it was to die for!! We had to order extra bread because it was so good! Dinner is meant to be shared as family style. With 4 girls we ordered 2 dinners and a side. The sea bass was my favorite. The steak was really tough and not that great for $68. The carrots were divine! We should have gotten another order of them. Dessert was the apple galette with ice cream. Super yummy! A bit pricy but really good. I'd go back but not order the steak. read more
