Barnoa Wine Bar And Bistro

Great little place!! A respite from the world hidden in the back corner of a local strip mall!! Nice selection of wines, tempting menu and comfy patio with seating spaced safely during Covid. My "go to" local spot to unwind with girlfriends.

A fantastic experience. Went there for the first time and they had a comedy night. First time I came across so many folks from the Midwest. Great wine selection, amazing staff, welcoming environment, and the food is pretty damn stellar. Big W. Do yourself a favor and check it out

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Barnoa Wine Company is an absolute gem in Talega, San Clemente! 🍷 Their Wagyu burgers are mouthwateringly juicy and cooked to perfection — a must-try for any burger lover. And the French Brie? Creamy, rich, and pairs perfectly with their incredible wine selection. Speaking of wine, they always have some of the best, most thoughtfully curated options in South Orange County. Kim, the owner, is incredibly sweet and makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or a special wine night, this place never disappoints. Cheers to Barnoa! 🥂

The busser Braden is a quality worker. We sat down for at least an hour and a half, we witness this young man hustling from the time we got there to the time we left. On top of the that, the food and service was overall beyond what we could have asked for.

Good food, good wine & beer, nice live entertainment.

I knew the food at Barnoa was good (we're regulars), but today we experienced their brunch for the first time. It was fantastic! Chef Mario has outdone himself with the menu. The avocado toast was the best I've ever tasted; it comes with a fresh salad and can be complemented with a side of egg or sausage. Cinnamon rolls, coffee, and mimosas made us happy. Next time we'll try the lox, which is made in-house. Yum! Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday, 10 - 2pm

We dropped in late afternoon for a drink after a round of golf at Talega golf club. Great place with a wide selection of wines and the tacos were excellent. Made a note to visit next time for dinner.

Barnoa is a great local spot for drinks or dinner or desert or all the above for a fun night out. Generally there’s live music which sets itself apart from most places. The food quality and menu are far above the general pub grub and light wine bar eats. Space is limited and coveted so make reservations or get there early for an enjoyable evening or night out.

Wonderful atmosphere. I suggest for dinner you try the shrimp and linguine some kind of noodle but it's got shrimp haha an open mic night on Sundays is wonderful the female bartender even sings... She should be on a record album. A lot of fun

Loved the wine selection. Had a taste of several of their wines and all were great. They also serve beer and a yummy cheese and meats plate. It's a big, airy space with a beautiful bar and plenty of seating. Awesome addition to the neighborhood. I will be coming back soon!

We always go ahead of the crowd so the patio is all ours! The wine are a nice selection from Northern California. The burger is good and just the right size. Taco Tuesday has a selection of three tacos, all good.

I wish the service was a little better, but the food definitely made up for it. Very delicious.

My girlfriend and I went to Barnoa in the evening, during the week. The wine selection is decent, the service wasn't bad and the food was very good for a wine bar. More food selections than the average wine bar with charcuterie or cheese plates. They have live music, while the live music was good, for a small place it threw off the ambiance, causing the people in the place to try and talk over the music. I'm 42 and I was a baby compared to the other people there age wise.

They will accept an order on DoorDash, despite the main item being out of stock. Nothing is communicated until the order arrives with a "out of stock" handwritten note on the receipt. They still charge the full amount and then close the restaurant for delivery shortly after. Over an hour's wait to find out the main item is missing. Awful customer experience.

Wow, such a huge bummer! Normally such a great experience at this restaurant, tonight they were way, way off their game. I asked for a burger to be rare with no tomato it came well-done with tomato, the brioche bun was not fresh at all. They were completely out of carrot cake dessert by 8 o’clock, our salads came without dressing. Normally such a great experience but tonight definitely not what we expect. We certainly understand everyone’s coming back from this pandemic but this evening was a real disappointment with reservations next week that I will have to rethink. Owner was out chatting to clients he recognized while blatantly ignored the rest of us. Everyone gets things can be wonky coming back but the ignorance of management coupled with mediocrity in food quality is no bueno. A note to ownership-ALL tables deserve a hello and how are things going whether you recognize them or not. There are plenty of us who are regulars, clearly not your personal friends that are fully ignored and not for the first time I might add. Tried to support this small business bringing new friends who have not eaten here. Disappointing at best.
