    We really enjoyed lunch at Taste, there are so many different options you can put together for your meal. We also had a wonderful server, Maddie, she was the best. Highly recommend!

    We were on our way to Carmel-by-the-Sea and stopped here for a break. The downtown area was charming, with lots of unique local shops to explore. We really loved the atmosphere! The menu had a great variety of options, which made it hard to choose. The sliders I ordered were flavorful, and the salad was incredibly fresh. The restaurant is also quite spacious, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with family.

    Cow tippin slider. Rare.

    Me and my friends went to the hot springs and then wanted to grab some food before we hit the road home. 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.

    My wife found this place on our most recent visit to Paso Robles - Good eyes! We dropped in on a Tuesday night - we came in after a group of 6 were seated, and were seated within a few minutes. The place was really busy. I could see several flat screen TVs over the bar playing the World Cup, and the bar was slammed. We dithered over the menu - they provided a drink menu and a food menu. I ended up ordering a Trio - which was comprised of a Spicy Tuna sandwich, a Baja Burger (which was also spicy) and their Garlic Fries, which were served with a dish of a very spicy garlic aioli sauce that my wife and I shared. My wife ordered a Duo with a Vacation Mode sandwich which featured pesto chicken, hummus, olive tappanade, and garlic aioli. She really liked her sandwich. She paired that (Duo you get 2) with a California Cowboy Cobb salad, which as you can see in the photos, was quite large. The food was served hot and fresh - the fries were very nice shoestring type, and were cooked properly. I have had "spicy" Tuna sandwiches before - this was the first one which was really spicy - it was perfect. A nice slab of seared tuna as well. The burger was just plain good. They call the burgers "sliders" because they are around 3 inches in diameter. If you have a larger appetite, figure it out. The drinks were good - I ordered the Old Fashioned (if you don't know what that is, try one) and my wife ordered the more exotic Beauty School Dropout, which had Crowbar Pink Gin, Elderflower liquer, lavender and honey syrup, lemon AND lime juice which was served in a chilled cut glass coup glass. Yes, I know I used "glass twice". It was very tangy and refreshing. The place has large doors which were open with seating both inside and outside. There were larger tables for larger groups. Take a minute to go over the menu, or you might miss the slider of your dreams.

    I stopped in around 6:00 PM and was able to grab a seat at the bar with no wait, although it looked like people without reservations had to wait for a table. Sitting at the bar ended up being a great choice! The restaurant has a really fun, welcoming vibe, and everyone on the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the trio with the Johnny Burger, sweet potato fries, and the Cobb salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I honestly wanted to try several other items on the menu because everything sounded so good, but I was completely full by the end of my meal. If you're visiting downtown Paso Robles, I definitely recommend stopping here. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and fantastic food. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

    This restaurant is such a fun concept and allows for many mixed match plates. I go the vaquero slider and spring chicken slider with the French Brussels. All was delicious but I realized it was far too much food for me. Our waitress was great, I loved the cozy feeling of the interior. Great dinner.

    We recently discovered Taste Craft Eatery while we were walking around Paso Robles for a fast and convenient place to eat while we were staying in the area. We wanted a place that had some wine and beer and a nice selection of food and Taste seemed to fit our needs perfectly. We didn't have any reservations so we were prepared to wait but we lucked out and were seated immediately out on the patio under a heat lamp. SCORE! Although it was chilly out, the heat lamp was just warm enough to be outside on the patio. It was a great spot to see all the foot traffic and all the holiday lights on display at the adjacent park. We had a wonderful server (unfortunately, I can't remember her name) who explained how we could best sample the Taste experience. We got a quartet of: California cowboy Cobb salad, super power spin salad, gouda burger and a blue bird chicken sandwich plus an order of truffled up fries with a few glasses of Paso Robles wines. Everything was just delicious and the portion sizes were just right so we didn't quite overeat. The restaurant was busy with all of the tables getting turned over with great efficiency. The outdoor patio was filled with joy as we observed families and friends exchanging tales of the weather and their journeys to Paso Robles. We truly enjoyed our first Taste experience and look forward to returning to Paso Robles for another adventure! I hope more people come in to experience all that Taste has to offer!

    Nice variety of combinations. Fits all sizes of appetites. Drinks and service were satisfying! Open air dining. Beautiful day!

    Appetizer - Calamari

    Taste is one of my favorites. They understood the assignment. Being a foodie I enjoy trying different choices and don't like to waste food either. This is a must stop for me when I'm in the area. The service is always good, the restaurant is beautiful and I love sitting where I can view the park as well. Drink choices are always rotating and lovely but tonight I was just passing through so I passed on indulging in one. The calamari was light and crispy. Usually I always prefer one sauce over the other however both choices were delectable. On to the main course, the Cali-prese salad was so yummy. The mozzarella fresh and soft and the balsamic was wonderful. The Gouda burger was simple but exactly what I was wanting. Every dish here has its own unique flavor and it was a compliment to the other choices. The vacation mode was a chicken slider with olive tapenade, garlic aoli and pesto. I try something different each time but this one was one of my favorites. I think I say that each time I come here, lol. Can't wait for next time.

    Poor attempt at photo eating :)  some of the mushroom flatbread and fries, along with teen munching on sliders

    We stopped here to get a quick taste of Paso Robles on our way back to the SF Bay Area from SLO. It's situated in the nice square with a charming playground and walking area. Honestly, I came to charge my car at the nearby supercharger. We were lucky though, as this area has a fair amount of traffic at lunch. Getting to the actual craft eatery, we were seated quickly on a Tuesday near lunchtime. Our waiter was polite and patient and even offered to explain their menus. They typically have many slider types that you can choose from in groupings or 1-4 (or more, I'm sure!). We had a hungry teen with us who got 3 of his own. I split a duo with my spouse and got some supplementary appetizers (mushroom flatbread and fries). I found their fare pretty tasty! My slider was the lamb burger which had a nice spice zing to it. It was a little too zingy for my teen though. He still was fine with his other sliders. My spouse had the steak ish burger which was also delicious, if not a bit harder to bite into versus a burger. The apps were also great and filling. Supplemented by a glass of wine, I'd say it was a fantastic outing for us. A nice option for those in the area in my book!
