In our search of Temecula dining we had to include a restaurant in classic Old Town and what better choice that Baily's which has been part of the Old Town scene since 1993.
 Baily's is a prominent name in Temecula Valley with Phil Baily and Baily's Winery, one of the pioneer vintners in Temecula Valley Wine Country.  Christopher Baily is owner and the corner building includes a bar, lounge and both indoor and patio dining on the ground floor.  Upstairs a bright window filled room offers an ambiance for a more serious dining experience.  Here also a spacious room for special events which fill the calendar at Baily's.
We chatted with Manager Gabe Gonzales while settling in with a cocktail.  Looking over the menu I immediately spotted one of my personal favorites, fish and chips while my dining partner selected  the Chicken Schnitzel.  My fish and chips proved to be the best in memory with a breaded coating that was full of flavor but without a speck of cooking oil present.  Manager Gabe explained that it was a beer based batter, and a well kept secret house recipe.  Our dessert was a brownie sundae.
This is a restaurant with fine dining as well as a night club with live entertainment and many scheduled special events.
Baily's is a local tradition and on most days you will find as many locals as visitors enjoying the spacious outdoor patio and a classic American menu.  A big plus is the spacious free parking area behind the restaurant.
Baily's is located at 28698 Old Town Front Street and hard to miss.  Telephone 951 676 9567, webwww.Baily.com.
