The ambiance is dark but fitting--dare I say, even sexy. Who doesn't like a little sexy? The wine selection is always excellent and served wonderfully by the staff. Andrea (short, yet incredibly vivacious) greeted us with a smile and complete professionalism. For someone that short, you might expect the vibe of an older sister teasing you and your buddies for being idiots--but she was anything but that. Having a place in town where you can go on a random date night--cover charge or not (get over it, people, the cover isn't that much)--is fantastic to have as an option. It's Paso, folks. There's only so much we can do here, and what Libretto and their staff are doing is hospitality first. Sadly, that's become a bit of a lost art in our town. But the people here are nothing like the heathen hostesses elsewhere who claw the menus with their freshly pressed gels while seating you at the worst table, all whilst saying "thank yeeewww." Thanks, Libretto, for doing better and for having such a wonderful team to host our evenings out.

Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

We ordered a latte, a breakfast sandwich, and the chicken pesto sandwich. The latte was enjoyable,…read morethough it tasted more milk-forward than coffee-forward. To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.

Had a solo vocal/guitarist during cocktail hr, then a trio playing during dinner, and 7-piece band for dancing. Band has a versatile song list for you to review and highlight beforehand. The band created an amazing atmosphere for guests. Dance floor was always packed, even during the band's break, and the DJ mixed from our Spotify song list we put together (mostly, house & hip hop) Post-wedding, everyone kept remarking just how amazing the band was! I am so glad we found Jon / JSH music - not only because of the talented musicians but throughout the entire planning process Jon was always responsive, helpful, and willing to adjust plans/terms as needed to accommodate our requests (I.e. added a solo vocal/guitarist for cocktail hr) Have no doubt when booking Jon / JSH that you're setting yourself up for a fun and memorable event.

I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

Ambiance: 5/5 definitely gives country vibes Bathroom: 3/5, only 2 stalls so waiting time might be the downside. They have baby changing stations! Service: 5/5 although it was busy, servers always checked in. The ice water they provided came with a cute lemon. I love when restaurants add simple and significant details like this!! This just shows how much they pay attention to their customers!

The brand new Nana's has gluten free pastries, coffee beverages featuring local brews and a truly kind staff.
