Me and my friends went to the hot springs and then wanted to grab some food before we hit the road…read morehome. Looked on Yelp and landed on TASTE! Craft Eatery which is located in downtown Paso across from the park. The ambiance was really nice. Modern and chic. We liked the design. We ordered 3 different things. This is the feedback from my friends after asking how they liked their food. Food: Pacific Rim salad with sriracha chicken. The salad was good but the chicken was dry. Cow tippin sliders - didn't ask how she wanted the meat cooked. Steak came out rare. Which she ate and said was ok but not preferred. She kept referring to the sliders as sliding everywhere between the rare meat and thick tomato slice. I had the Cabo chicken and summer bbq slider. Cabo chicken slider - The chicken was grilled and leaned on the dry side. I liked the chipotle aioli sauce. I didn't like the thick slice of tomato that came on it. Summer BBQ slider - was my favorite. The pull pork was good. My only suggestion is it could have used more bbq sauce on it as it was very little bbq sauce. The sweet potato fries were good and I liked the seasoning on them but a couple of them didn't feel all the way done. Wine - we had a glass of Quest wine and it was amazing. Def recommend this red if you visit. The service could have been better. There were long gaps in between our server checking in on us. But when they stoped by they were nice and split our check which was appreciated. Overall, the food was ok could have been better. The wine was amazing.

But I don't much like the food. I was first enamored with a few great experiences, but now that I live here, I hardly go. I don't love the burger or the fried chicken -- two of their mainstays. They no longer have the Hen of the Woods mushrooms (written about in my first review). And, to boot, it's extremely high priced. Like, but not love, and I'm sticking to it.

My husband never orders chicken out, but on the recommendation of our waiter, he ordered it and was delighted. Best chicken in a restaurant ever. We also had the delicious bacon-wrapped dates and two wonderful salads -- the burrata and the pear and pecan. My main was the mushrooms and scallops pasta. SO good. The waiter recommended a local Chardonnay, so nice that I bought 2 bottles before leaving town. The owner-chef also spent about 15 minutes chatting with us as we were one of the last diners. It was one of my best birthday dinners ever! We will go back to Paso Robles just to dine here.

Tonight's meal was a disappointing experience. My husband and I were seated on the patio. It was a…read morechilly evening and despite the heaters I never felt comfortable. Of note, we were never given an option for indoor seating when making our reservation nor when we were seated. After ordering, we received our starter (shishito peppers) within 10 minutes. However once we finished the starter we waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our entrees. There was no communication from the wait staff at all, no refills on water, nothing. In fact in the patio dining area I saw three plates of food (including our peppers) delivered to tables in the hour we had been sitting there. Interestingly the wait staff all seemed very busy and moved around the restaurant but not much appeared to get done. Having worked in hospitality previously I have a lot of empathy for the staff as they seemed to lack direction and management support. My husband ordered the mushroom and scallop pasta. It was okay. Overpriced, but was tasty. I ordered the chile relleno and steak. The chile relleno was filled with a large amount of corn that tasted freezer burnt. My steak was thin and grey and overcooked. It was nearly all grey inside with a couple spots of pink. It wasn't seasoned either. The sauces on the plate were good. Our server was polite and did take it off the menu. However, no manager ever came by to check on us or any other table on the patio in the time we were there. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. It was a real let down to have a lackluster food and service experience at "one of the nicest places" in Paso.

In Bloom is easily one of the best dining experiences in Paso Robles. The ambiance is…read morebeautiful--warm, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed night out. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely to die for. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. You can really tell how much care goes into the ingredients and presentation. What truly made the experience special was the owner, Nicole. She is so welcoming. It's rare to find a place where the food, service, and atmosphere are all this good. If you're in Paso Robles, In Bloom is a must. We can't wait to go back!

My wife and I went to In Bloom at the recommendation of our daughters who saw the Michelin…read moredesignation. After going, I debated whether it warranted a 3- or 4-star rating, but I settled on three because the experience was extremely inconsistent and we expected more given the cost and the designation. Here is what we noticed...some good, some not-so-good: - We arrived for a 6pm reservation and were the second couple seated. Shortly thereafter a family of four with two young kids arrived and the host seated them directly next to us even though the entire place was empty. The kids were fidgety and loud (as kids that age can be) so it wasn't too long before we asked to move to another table, which our server happily accommodated. But, I have to ask why a Host would seat all three parties nearly on top of each other when the entire restaurant is empty? - We ordered cocktails to start, and there were several fun cocktails to choose from and the portions were good. The wine list is also pretty extensive. - The Server described the menu as all "sharables", but don't think tapas, think family style dining. After having been there, we decided that we should have skipped ordering a type of main course and stuck to appetizers. That's because the two app/salad type dishes we had were good, while the main dish was a failure. - We started with the Panzanella, which was made special by the fresh tomatoes. After that, we had the Tempura Cauliflower, which was really well seasoned...it was the highlight of our entire experience. We then shared the Pachamama Pork, which really shouldn't be on the menu if they are true farm-to-table eating. Plus, at $49 it should have wowed us more. While it tasted ok, there wasn't anything fresh or bright or seasonal on the plate aside from a little lemon in the lentils, and, frankly, I've cooked better pork myself at home. - We finished with the Mille feuille dessert, which was so skimpy on the cream that all you tasted was the biscuit in your mouth. To their credit though, when I mentioned that to the Host/server as we were paying, he brought out a plate with some more cream and we finally got to taste the brown butter, etc. that was supposed to be highlighted in the dish. - Service overall was good. The vibe is ok...it is not the comfiest place, but we did like the LPs being played on the sound system. I would also say that given the prices they charge, they should have made an effort to wipe/clean our table between dishes as drops/bits from each dish collected during our entire meal. - Be aware that there is a 3% credit card surcharge. While that is noted on their website, it wasn't on the menu. And, maybe it's just me, but if a place wants to be more fine dining, then just charge more to make up for the credit card fees versus adding it onto your bill. Bottom line: We've had much better meals in Paso Robles and though we expected to be wowed by In Bloom given its Michelin designation, it just didn't deliver.

The food and beverages are true artisan. We've been there several times and it never disappoints.read more

I had the short rib taco, which was really good, but the Ahi Crudo was definitely my favorite. Lily was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended some local beers, which convinced me to try something different, and I have no regrets. The food and drinks were excellent. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for over two decades, I have to say I was very impressed by the service from the entire staff, from the moment I approached the host stand to the moment I left. It truly felt like everyone paid attention to detail. Lily's service was outstanding. I hope to come back soon and try some of the main dishes.

Fun atmosphere and good food!…read more Stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for the night. The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it!

November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.

You take a menu and sit anywhere then go up to the counter when you're ready to order. The staff are extremely friendly and checked on us more than once as well as gave us a rundown of how everything worked. I had the ribeye steak tacos and I thought they were delicious. The steak was tender and well cooked, the avocado was fresh and the salsa was very flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My wife had the blackened tofu tacos and wasn't as thrilled as I was. She found them a little bit bland even with the peanut sauce and didn't understand putting cabbage on something that's already lettuce wrapped. Overall it was still a good experience and I'd definitely stop in again if I'm in the area.
