Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Moreno Valley

We booked this on the night of the Mission Inn Christmas lights festival kickoff. We were not disappointed. First of all, you get special access to the hotel, lobby and light show with a reservation. That alone saves tons of time and the burden of standing in long lines in the cold. Then there's the restaurant... What a beautiful example of early 19th Century California architecture and craftsmanship. All of the finishes from the molding and tile to the details in the Christmas decorations are beautiful. I felt like I was in a Bing Crosby movie - in Technicolor. Finally, the food and service are both 5 star! The buffet we enjoyed was curated with high quality, well made classics like shrimp cocktail, prime rib, salad bar and all the fixings. Beverages like lemonade and coffee were included. The service was friendly and very attentive. Just get here early for this festival. It took us almost an hour to get in and find parking, and the negotiate the crowds to get here from the lot. Crazy busy, but so, so worth it.

Dining in Paradise! From lobster rolls to ceviche, filet mignon, short ribs with ravioli, to beignets and lemon mouse cake, every bite was amazing!! Sitting on the patio just above the sand with gentle crashing waves at sunset, I can’t think of any better choice for Friday night dinner and beach walk with friends. Everything was perfect in every way! I’m grateful for the Beachcomber, my favorite get away right in my own backyard.

This was our first time at Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens, and we fell in love. The twinkling lights everywhere made my heart happy. The boys loved the burger and fries, and even the ketchup was made in-house! I had the pizza of the day, a prosciutto and Honeycrisp apple concoction that was delightful and delicious. Who knew apples worked on a pizza?!? My daughter had the half Jidori chicken, which was juicy and tender, and a large enough portion that she took half of it home with her. We also sampled two desserts, the lemon tart and apple crisp. Both were amazing, but the apple crisp was our favorite of the two. I definitely will be back and highly recommend this spot for a satisfying farm-to-fork meal.

ribeye, mashed potatoes, and green beans were all great. as was the pessimist red wine blend. the bread pudding was a pass - was more like a dry muffin. nice and quiet so we could talk/be romantic.

Everything was smooth from the moment we arrived . The host was kind enough to accommodate our request of sitting outside . I will say our server maya was amazing she made the experience even better. She was very attentive and with an amazing vibe. She helped answered all our questions. Shout out to maya thanks for everything .
