Visited 1909 in Temecula on a Friday night while exploring this small, clean town, and it was such a great experience. The place was packed with both locals and visitors, and the warm, welcoming vibe gave me a real sense of community — people just enjoying good food, drinks, and time with friends and family. The staff were incredibly fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. I started with the ceviche — tasty, though more of a Mexican/guacamole style twist. The smash burger and shrimp curry were both excellent — fresh, flavorful, and not greasy, with generous portions. For dessert, I tried the bread pudding; it wasn’t quite on par with the entrees, but still a nice finish to the meal. Overall, I loved the food, the atmosphere, and the energy of 1909. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in Temecula!

I visited on a Friday late morning, and overall, it was an amazing experience with both food and drinks. The staff were friendly, and the service was prompt, which I really appreciated. I love their drinks, especially the sangria, it was not overly sweet and very refreshing. There's a parking lot across the street, although you do need to pay for it. The bathrooms were clean, and the ambiance was great, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The food portions were generous and well worth the price. I’ll definitely be going back! I didn’t have room for dessert because I was so full, but I'm looking forward to trying it next time.

Absolutely loved the Bison burger – it's a must-try! The service was outstanding, especially the kind and attentive lady who took care of us. She truly made the experience even better.

I ordered a Chocolate Stout and it is delicious. The service is quick and the food appears great! Recommended to anyone hungry and thirsty. Salut! We did have a little problem, however, the manager here is great, cares about his patrons, and maintains his good reputation by taking care of the details of the restaurant. Thank you bunches for making our friends birthday!

I celebrated my Birthday here, and everyone enjoyed their dinner selections. I loved the chicken risotto, but wasn't a fan of the cauliflower starter (just my preference). I also recommend the Lazy Outlaw drink if you enjoy Rum. Reservations are for parties 8 or more. We did not have to weight long for a party of 6 to be seated. There is no AC, but lots of shade and misters which made it very pleasant. I recommend sitting on the patio, it's cooler than inside. And they allow dogs on the patio and have a dog menu.

My husband and I hosted our night before dinner at 1909 Temecula and it was nothing short of amazing! From the dinner service to the drinks and decorations the team at 1909 made sure our event was taken care of. Booking was a breeze and there was plenty of room for our party in the patio. Christina was wonderful to work with during the booking process. Our guests truly enjoyed the food, beverages and atmosphere. Special thank you to Joshua, Brandon, and Savannah who took care of us and our guests. They were very friendly, quick, and reliable! We can’t wait to come back and try the brunch menu! Thank you 1909 for helping to make our event memorable!

It’s been a long time since I’ve been wowed eating out! Loved the food I had Yellow Curry; you can add protein…I stuck with tofu. . My husband had the fish tacos with corn chowder soup, each was amazing. We finished our meal off with Bread Pudding. Can’t wait to eat there again.
