Such an incredible dinner! We stayed on campus at the hot springs resort so we decided to book a reservation here for a special birthday dinner and it was absolutely lovely. I started off with the matcha martini which, despite it looks, had a very strong matcha flavor to it. Absolutely delightful. They definitely designed the menu with sharing in mind so my husband and I got four dishes (two from the "appetizer" sections and two from the protein section): whipped ricotta with buttery focaccia bread, vegan homemade cavatelli pasta with mushrooms and sunchokes, swordfish with a tomatillo and habanero sauce, and the short rib pot roast. Everything was delicious. The two standouts for me were the whipped ricotta and the pasta. Don't get me wrong the proteins were yummy but there's something about fresh pasta that's fully vegan that just make my heart happy. The sunchokes in particular had such a rich flavor. I would come back just for this. The cherry on top though was the dessert. We couldn't decide so we picked two: the fall apple galette with ginger caramel and the black sesame chocolate cake with chai ice cream. They were both yummy but my husband and I were fighting over the last bite of the black sesame chocolate cake and chai ice cream. I'm a big black sesame fan and the flavor went so well with the chocolate and chai. Everything was also beautifully plated, it just elevated the experience so much more. Cassara was also a helpful and friendly server, very grateful she was able to accommodate our request of getting the habanero salsa on the side of our fish so my husband and I could both enjoy (it was very good but too spicy for my husband). If we're ever back at the hot springs, we'll make sure to snag reservations again! read more

We arrived for our 8:30 reservation , around 8:35/8:40.. so we were at that point nearly 10 minutes late.. there was a large group of people in the lobby when we arrived, of about 10 to 12 people.. which I think took the staff some time to greet , seat and get situated. By the time the host got to us at this point it was 8:48.. the host informed us it was passed the 15 minute grace period and that our table was already given away.. I asked if they could make an acception since it was just my wife and I (party of 2) and it was my wife's birthday. They said her birthday doesnt make a difference in the matter and that they would not have a table for us. Even after the host went and asked the manager (supposedly?) The manager said no. My wife and I felt like we were treated unfairly.. this definitely ruined my wife's birthday evening. read more

Amazing dining experience with this restaurant . What makes this additionally amazing is our server, Casara. She is attentive and professional throughout our entire meal. Overall, highly recommended. read more

AMAZING! Everything from the fantastic food to the desert, to the ambiance and the vast array of non alcoholic drinks! 10 out of 10! Andy and Jesus took great care of us... Perfect! read more

Surprisingly amazed! We came here after canceling our reservation down the street. I thought it was going to be a tourist trap for the resort. However, the food was made with care about culinary arts. The front and back of the house care about attention to detail. In pure honesty we thought the food to be on par with the expensive Hell's Kitchen Experience we tried at Harrah's Casino. We will be back! read more

A FIVE STAR hidden gem inside Murrieta Hot Springs Resort that is open to the public. Celebrating my husband's birthday we tried Talia for the first time for dinner. What an amazing and elevated dining experience. The outside patio is lovely. Their focus is home sourced fruits and veggies and it was amazing sitting next to a blueberry bush in a planter. We started with muddled spa-like cocktails. The roasted beet/feta/pistastio salad was everything you would want in a salad and easily shareable. Next, the salmon- WOW! Ora King Salmon with ratatouille salmon farce inside a squash blossom(mind blowing it was so good) butternut squash potage, pepitas. The salmon was cooked to perfection and that crispy skin is not something you see often. Generous portion too! The star of the show was the Moroccan Spiced Mary's Half Chicken. I believe they use 27 different spices and the crispy chicken skin while producing such a moist chicken breast is amazing. Served with sundried tomato goat cheese stuffed, preserved apricot cream, smoked almonds. The apricot cream was shear GENIUS! We also chose the Roasted Potato Purée with parsley, fried garlic, grilled scallion oil. The fried garlic bits on this was just icing on the cake. Sooooo good. The service was above and beyond. Our servers: Clayton and Alex were both very attentive and friendly. They both maid our experience extra special. A special thanks to the Chef. We were not expecting this level of culinary expertise. You are an artist. Thank you. read more

We walked in after a wine tasting in Temecula. We were seated right away and the food was amazing. The chicken I ordered was cooked to perfection!

My wife and I spent the weekend at Murrieta Hot Springs, and this restaurant quickly became our go-to spot--we dined there three times throughout the weekend. We practically tried every dish on the menu, and not a single one disappointed us. Every dish was mind-blowingly good. Andy, our server, was incredible--such a friendly soul who explained each dish with so much passion that it elevated our dining experience. Daniel, the GM, was also very welcoming, checking in to ensure our meals were nothing short of perfect. The food was truly a form of culinary art--each dish was thoughtfully crafted and told a story. Everything was delicious, right down to the desserts, which were simply outstanding. Honestly, this place is on Michelin-star level. If you have the chance to dine here, don't hesitate--just make sure to make a reservation! Hats off to the chef! read more

Fantastic service! Great bar area too. Food was solid with several seafood options. Order the the whipped ricotta appetizer, you'll love it. Cheers to the whole staff. read more

Everything was perfection! The food was so so so good. We tried a lot of the menu options and each dish was so special & unique. I would highly recommend Talia to anyone. What made it the most memorable was the staff!!! This the best service I have had in YEARS!!! read more

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Andy our server was knowledgeable about the history of the resort. His knowledge about the wines and food on the menu were spot on. A nice gem. Look forward to coming back. read more

Food was outstanding! Service was flawless. They made our special occasion super special. Everyone was super polite from the hostess, to the server assistant , to the server and the manager. Highly recommend if you're in the area or at the resort. read more

The food was absolutely outstanding. When I walked into this restaurant, I wasn't expecting the high-quality imaginative and creative food that we ended up getting. We ordered the squash, carrots, which were fabulous and a combination of excellent flavors and textures. The focaccia bread with the freshly made ricotta is absolutely a dish you should always order. The entrées were also wow but I have to say that one of the reasons we had such an amazing experience was because of our server Andy who understood the dishes so well and did a great job helping us order and make our evening enjoyable. I would not hesitate one bit coming back to Talia . read more

I came here with my family for a birthday getaway at the resort and was so happy to find a genuine farm to table restaurant. You can tell that the chef really takes pride in using fresh ingredients where even your server is bragging about them!!! All the dishes were prepared perfectly and so beautifully presented, they all looked like a piece of art when they came to our table. The restaurant itself is very modern chique and not too many tables so it's highly recommended that you make a reservation in advance. The service was impressive, our server even had us try the dessert wine with a piece of chocolate, which was so sweet. It was truly a memorable experience that celebrated a very delicate balance between fine dining and farm to table. read more

Wow, just wow. The whole experience from greeting to meals was amazing. I love the fact that they use locally sourced food and limit the menu to a few selections. I believe this allows the chef to focus on perfection. If I'm comparing to other fine dining establishments, Talia is at the top. This hidden gem is a must visit dining establishment. You won't be disappointed. read more

Visited Talia again last week. It used to be one of our favorites, but It's now just a huge disappointment. The food quality has declined. We had the "luxury," of listening to one of the servers yell at the bartender about tips. We used to enjoy Dan's company, now it seems like management doesn't care. No need to go back, the place has just become a free-for-all. read more

The service was phenomenal, Cassara was the best, We get seated as soon as it opens and our seats were dirty with sprinkles of dried food. The food was absolutely disappointing. The duck dish had bones in it, which I almost swallowed, lacked seasoning, almost like it was boiled and chopped into little pieces. It was basically a plate full of cabbage with a tiny bit of flavorless duck and not in a good way. I could not finish it. The swordfish was decent and cooked well. The Moscato wine was sour and we couldn't even finish it. The chocolate cake beautifully presented but was dry and hard to eat. The restaurant was beautiful but our table top was made of tiles, so our plates and glasses were very unstable. Watch your drinks! Overall for the high prices and quality of the food, I will not be back and will not be recommending it, read more

So impressed with this place! The presentation was beautiful. The food tasted fresh and delicious and the cocktails are unique and fun! Our server was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. We stayed at the resort and were so happy to have such a great place to go to for dinner. I wish they were open for breakfast and lunch because we would eat every meal here! read more

Talia Kitchen - Fresh focaccia + burrata - Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

My husband & I wanted to try something new, so we headed down the road to Murrieta Hot Springs Resort to Talia Kitchen. We had no idea this is the first week it's been open! As soon as we walked up a lovely girl opened the door for us. Checked our reservation & got us seated. We were greeted shortly by someone giving us water & then shortly after that our server, Andy came by to get us squared away. We wanted to grab a bottle of Zinfandel that they hadn't gotten in yet (but was on the menu) so they gave us 20% off another bottle which I thought was super thoughtful. :) We ordered the focaccia bread with ricotta & it was SO GOOD! Then we shared prawns (cold with some sort of Greek yogurt sauce that was so good), Baja striped bass, potato purée & the apple galette for dessert. It was all SO GOOD! Our server Andy was so great also telling us the history of the hot springs & telling us about the menu, it was an overall pleasant experience & perfect ambience. We will definitely be back! read more

Food: Had the salmon and swordfish and both were delicious. We ordered two sides and both were severely lacking flavor. My mom went there weeks before and warned me about the food but I wanted to try for myself. Guess mama said they'll be dishes like this...my mama said... Service: Went there on a Sunday. Busy, yet attentive service. I understand that it is a 'shared plate' restaurant and they say it on the menu. Where I have an issue is when they shove it down your throats and use it as a cope out. It would be nice if they said 'since we encourage shared plates, would you like these in a certain order?' If you don't speak up, you'll end up with just asparagus on your table for 10 minutes with nothing to eat it with. Decor: nice for the area. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Talia celebrating my husband's birthday. The food & drinks were delicious and the service was phenomenal.

We will definitely be back! read more

Talia Kitchen - Whipped feta - Bars Near Me - Murrieta, California

An amazing culinary experience. The whipped ricotta was like nothing I've ever had. The cherries cut the richness of the ricotta and the focaccia was toasted perfectly on the outside and soft on the inside. My husband savored every bite of his perfect medium rare ribeye (though he shared a couple with me). I would never think to pair it with blackberries but it works and each flavor compliments the other. I had the swordfish that was also a blend of flavors that worked together to create a subtly spicy beautifully cooked tender piece of fish. The star of the show was the Frog Hollow Peach Crostata- made to order and served hot out of the oven - the peaches literally melt in your mouth. My husband also said his Manhattan was probably the best he'd had in his life. 100% recommend going here. read more

Absolutely delicious! I came with a group and tried lots of dishes. The whipped ricotta, delicata squash, the salmon, Mary's chicken. All perfect! Flavorful and beautiful. I also had a matcha martini and my group tried several of the elixirs, all delicious! The service was wonderful and lighting and acoustics were all very comfortable. I was staying onsite and so grateful that there were so many gluten free options. I have celiac disease and having a safe, delicious place to eat, gave so much peace of mind! They even served the ricotta with crudités for the GFs in my group. Also, the panna cotta is heaven! Just get it, even if you don't have room read more

Very informative and knowledgeable servers. Food is amazing and beautifully presented. Vegan options are available We plan to return soon to this establishment. read more

Came here since I'm staying at the resort. Service was excellent and welcoming, i got the ribeye which was very flavorful and good. It was cooked a bit past my preference (medium rare) but was still so tender that I didn't feel it needed to be re-made (which my server did offer at no charge.) patio seating was lovely and I would definitely come back for a date night or celebration. read more

I regret not taking pictures. We were truly dining and taking in the experience. The outside patio was just lovely. Each front of house person was on point. We were greeted/seated with perfect poise from the hostess. The busser was so sweet. Our server was superb. The manager even came to check on our choices and overall satisfaction. This Chef is genius! Absolute artist with indgredints and flavors. This is by far the best cuisine I have had in 10 plus years. Care and Pride from kitchen staff was tasted in every morsel. I look forward to making this our special occasion place. I will certainly bring new people. This was a true "dining" experience. As suggested we ordered an appetizer. A salad. 2 entrees. 1 veg side. I am so glad we did. Every dish was complex...not 1 thing like the next. Wowza. 10 out of 10!! read more

The food was EXCELLENT. Ambiance peaceful for Thursday night . Service , my friend made a reservation with open table and notified the Resturant which we are celebrating another friend ( was with us) birthday as a surprise.

We stayed at Murrieta Hot Spring Resort for a night and had dinner at Talia to celebrate our anniversary. Service was great! The hostess and servers were very nice and attentive. We were offered two complimentary champagnes right after seated which made us feel special. Food, unfortunately, was a bit hit and miss. We were really amazed by the flavor and texture of the swordfish while the duck confit was dry and bland. The server was very nice. She took the duck back and offered another entree. I ended up getting salmon which was good. We also got one app and two sides. I found some were better than the others but overall, they were ok. I personally think the food could be better given the price was a bit high. Cocktail and wine we got were both good! read more

Not the place you want to have lunch or dinner at all. They are NOT ADA COMPLIANCE AT ALL. The restaurant Manager Daniel is the WORST manager He didn't care for anything at all. I won't be surprise if they shut down. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I don't recommend this place. read more

Im at a "health resort" with this being the only restaurant. Heavy, over spiced too rich. I was hoping for salads, grilled fish or baked chicken, healthy! the onion thing was too rich, the chicken although baked, had so many spices, think jerk chicken on overdrive, heavy tasting, dry when you peeled the skin off. Way way to much sauces, spices and nothing fresh tasting. So disappointed. but the staff was friendly, attentive and professional. They get 5 stars. read more

Reservation and Seating: Talia promptly opens at 5. Highly recommend reservations as seating is limited. People trying to walk in for seating were turned away. I made a reservation on OpenTable where I noted our special occasion for the evening and my wife's dairy, egg, soy, and gluten allergies. We were sat down at our table within a few minutes of checking in with the hostess. Ambiance: imagine an old church mission meets pottery barn. One side of the restaurant was well lit and the other side a bit more dim. Large outdoor seating area for larger parties. Space heaters available. Service: HUGE shoutout to our server, Andy. Very polite and professional at all times while being approachable and personable. He made it a point to ensure he understood my wife's allergies with the reservation. And with that in mind Andy made recommendations of how the Chef can adjust and accommodate. Andy was extremely knowledgeable of the menu with regards to flavor profiles, ingredients, cooking techniques, and even the source of their seafood. I cannot say enough praise about Andy. Food: Beet Salad - bright and tangy dressing is a great contrast to the earthy beets. Garnished with a welcomed sprinkle of coarse Himalayan sea salt and crushed macadamias. Welcome composed salad. Usually comes with feta but removed due to allergy. Ora King Salmon - usually served with butternut squash purée but removed due to allergy. Salmon served two ways. Salmon brought in from New Zealand since wild caught salmon is currently out of season in the Pacific Northwest. Center cut filet with crispy salmon skin. We were skeptical at first on how crispy the skin would be but pleasantly surprised that it was in fact very crispy. The salmon was buttery smooth and succulent; no chewing necessary, so good! Second preparation was using the thinner parts of the whole salmon filet, and mixed with a ratatouille stuffed in a squash blossom and then pan roasted. The stuffed blossom had perfect char and crispy texture. Wife remarked that this was the best salmon she's had and would eat this for the rest of her life if she couldn't only eat one thing. Swordfish - generous steak cut of swordfish. Perfectly cooked. The mild flavor of the fish is needed to serve as the vessels for the complex turmeric and ginger sauce. The sauce, imagine a rich and creamy thai curry; and this description does the sauce a disservice. Very good sauce! Has some heat. Served with three plantain fritters that held up well within the sauce. Flavor was good pairing with the sauce and swordfish. Perfect combination of flavors and textures throughout this dish. Cinnamon and tangerine gelato - this option is vegan but you could never tell. Made of coconut cream, the texture was delightful. Who knew cinnamon and tangerine would make a good flavor pairing but it works so well. Chocolate cake with ice cream and white chocolate with matcha crumble - every component of the dish was great but the best was the crumble. The crumble was cold and surprisingly bright which paired really nicely with the rich chocolate cake. Would ABSOLUTELY come back here again soon. The menu rotates with a few staples that hang around more than others. Talia has only been open for two and a half months (January 2025 at the time of this writing) but I expect them to increase in popularity and succeed. The top notch service and amazing food made for an unforgettable night. read more
