Grace & Rose...extraordinary. It took gf & I awhile to discover it, but when it was her birthday, I opted to go...after hearing good things about it. Adorable. A converted 3 story house over a 100 years old, a gorgeous wraparound porch is the ultimate setting on a beautiful day or night, and that's just what did for dinner last night. Wonderful staff. The hostess, the assistant, and our waitress -- Jillian, all fantastic and so very nice. We loved Jillian, cool, pro, laidback, efficient, attentative, and perfect timing without interrupting. We ordered: a couple of glasses of wine, the kale & fennel salad, an order of the bread & butter, our entrees, a side of the roasted carrots, and a slice of the basque cake w/gelato. What we didn't know was that everything would be perfect. * The wine I ordered for us a $24/glass GSM, and was incredible. * The bread was toasted wheat sourdough (I think), and had the wow factor. * The kale & fennel salad was one of the best I've ever had, anywhere, cut into the smallest slivers, toasted marcona almonds, finely grated fresh parm, and the most delightful lemon vinaigrette dressing. Phenomenal. * Roasted carrots: not your usual, whipped lemon ricotta sauce, pesto, roasted pistachios. Oh yeah. * I got the pork chop, she the grilled steak with fries. Both presented beautifully and mouth-watering. Tried both. Loved both. * We finished with a slice of the basque cake and caramel-salt gelato. Both were fantastic. We'll be back frequently as it is now our favorite restaurant in Paso. read more

Grace & Rose was one of my favorite meals during my birthday trip to Paso Robles. We had a 7:30 reservation, and since it was only a short walk from our hotel, we decided to walk over. The neighborhood was a little dark, and then in the distance we could see this beautiful little house glowing with warm lights. It immediately felt cozy and inviting. The restaurant has such a charming farmhouse feel, with a porch, outdoor seating and a warm, dimly lit interior. Our server, Jacqueline, was wonderful from beginning to end. She was upbeat, vibrant, full of energy and so sweet throughout the evening. We started with the heirloom tomato and burrata toast, and this is a MUST. The tomatoes, burrata, basil and balsamic on the country loaf were so simple but absolutely delicious. I would order it again without hesitation. Next was the mushroom and artichoke gratin with spinach, ricotta and crostini. I don't think I've ever had anything quite like it. It had this slight lemony flavor that brought everything together, and again, something so simple was just SO good. Another must-have for me. For our entrées, my partner ordered the pork chop with cannellini beans and leek salsa verde, which was juicy and very good. I ordered the bavette steak with green peppercorn sauce and fries. The steak was good, although for me the appetizers were really the stars of the savory portion of the meal. And then came dessert. I had absolutely NO business ordering dessert because I already had three mini birthday cakes and two tarts waiting for me back at the hotel. But Jacqueline told us the Gâteau Basque cake was "to die for," and once someone says that, I have to know. She was right. That cake was AMAZING. Golden and slightly crusted on the outside, soft and delicious inside, and honestly one of the best cakes I've had. It comes with plum compote and honey yogurt, but the cake is so good that it doesn't need anything else. Since it was my birthday, they also brought me a complimentary scoop of salted caramel ice cream with a candle, which was such a sweet touch and paired perfectly with the cake. If you come here, do not skip the cake! Wonderful food, a beautiful cozy atmosphere and lovely service from Jacqueline made this such a memorable birthday dinner. Grace & Rose will absolutely be on our list when we return to Paso Robles. We're already talking about coming back around Christmas, and I would love to see this little place during the holidays. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service at Grace & Rose! We loved being able to send a round of drinks to the kitchen!! Every independent restaurant should have this on their menu! The sourdough was worth every calorie! The potatoes had the perfect crisp on them and complimented the chicken dish well! Our server Jackeline described the gravy so well, I knew precisely what to expect, and she sure nailed it! I love it when the servers know the menu! Our only note (hence the missing star) is when it's that hot out, there was no breeze on the side of the house, and it was not pleasant. Some kind of fan keeping the air flowing at least would have been appreciated, I know having misters would ruin the food, so there would have to be some other option. read more

Beautiful restaurant in a restored farmhouse. It's a bit off the main downtown area so nice and quiet. There are tables outside on the spacious porch, but it was a cool, windy night and we chose to eat indoors. Nice music was playing in the background at the right volume to be non-intrusive. We chose a couple of wines by the glass from the small but well curated wine list. Shared the goat cheese stuffed dates (fabulous), and also the roasted beets salad and whole branzino, both of which were excellent. Service was perfunctory and a bit cold. read more

Grace & Rose - Delicious goat cheese stuffed dates. - Wine Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Dinner at this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Paso Robles. It's a cute farmhouse style located in a residential neighborhood. If we didn't already have plans to dine there, we probably would have missed seeing it. Sitting on their porch for dinner was so peaceful. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We were told that their menu changes with the seasons. We shared a beet salad to start, and it was so fresh and delicious. I had a pasta dish that was surprisingly good. My husband had the steak and he loved it. We ended with their basque cake for dessert. If we were staying another night, we'd probably have eaten there again. read more

Grace & Rose in downtown Paso Robles is an absolute delight. The restored farmhouse setting is stunning, inviting, and incredibly romantic. This is a perfect date night spot! The service is top-notch, from the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the onsite sommelier who helped pair wines beautifully. We loved that the owners personally checked on tables. The food was outstanding. The goat cheese stuffed dates were a perfect sweet and savory starter, the pork chop was juicy and flavorful, the branzino was cooked to perfection, and we finished with the incredible Gateau Basque cake for dessert. Every bite was farm-to-table fresh and memorable. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back! read more

Grace and Rose sits plunk in the middle of a neighborhood. It once was a residence, which explains its casual charm. One may opt to sit inside or on the wraparound porch. A plethora of talkative staff work together to meet diner's needs. The menu is small but contains intriguing choices. We decided to share the pork chop and roasted carrots. Small menus seem to indicate finesse and complex flavors. The chef concocted a delicious sauce placed beneath the chop and included cannellini beans, pancetta, and leeks. ($44) The roasted carrots were dressed with ricotta, pesto, and pistachios. ($16) I ordered my first nonalcoholic drink-a refreshing ginger lemon mocktail. ($8) That's a great strategy for keeping the bill low! Taste is everything so visit Grace & Rose! read more

Last night was date night for my wife and me. As locals, we usually try to make reservations, especially on a holiday weekend, but we failed and had to take the very risky chance of not getting a table. Just one of my many first-world problems. We used to go to Wine Merchant for the Grassy Bar oysters as often as we could, so we were very excited to hear about the new spot, Grace and Rose. The newly remodeled farmhouse is nestled away from the busy downtown square, which, for a local, is a plus on some nights. It's not far from downtown, but lucky for us, we know how to drive. We were greeted by the owner, who has always been gracious with us, and let her know we had failed at getting a reservation. She was kind enough to let us sit at the bar so we could be seated right away. This already felt right. Not only was I incredibly happy to be there with my wife -- who looked stunning, by the way -- but I was also impressed with the remodel of the home. The revamping of this old house was done in such a unique way, staying true to the historical architecture while adding modern details and touches that somehow sexified the place in a completely consensual way, of course. Christina, who I believe runs the wine program, was absolutely incredible -- fun, engaging, and genuinely happy to serve us on our date night. She guided us through the menu, made some suggestions, and let the races begin. We started with a half bottle of Taittinger bubbles paired with our favorite Grassy Bar oysters. We ordered the goat cheese stuffed dates drizzled with a hot honey glaze. F me in the goat ass, that shit was fire. I may or may not still be thinking about those little bastards. How I would totally adopt them, raise them as my own, give them my last name, and keep them out of foster care for as long as possible. Say what you want about kale, but this kale and fennel salad had me rethinking my entire existence. Should I just go vegan? Because this shit had me turnt. The acidity of the lemon complemented the delicious Parmesan that hugged the salad like a great auntie who really loves her nieces and nephews. Some delicious bread and whipped butter arrived shortly thereafter. The butter was so easily spreadable and luxurious it could make any dominatrix pay to be whipped instead. We ended up sharing the roasted carrots, which were laid over a delicious tangy base, along with the steak, which was cooked slightly under medium rare -- but honestly, I didn't mind. I was ready to get dirty. The steak fries appeared to be made in-house: perfectly crispy, just soft enough inside, and kissed with exactly the right amount of salt. The evening led us to a glass of rosé followed by a delicious red, all suggestions made by the wonderful and impeccable Christina. The farmhouse was packed, but not in a way that felt loud or overwhelming. We could still carry a conversation. It felt like an actual home filled with people eating family-style food that was elevated and thoughtfully executed. My appreciation for service stems from having worked in the service industry myself. We recognize the hard work owners put into their food, as well as the efficiency, dedication, and commitment their staff brings to customer service. All of those things were achieved last night and then some. The mix of locals and tourists all under one roof, in one family home, eating their own specific dishes and drinking their own specific wines, made this place feel like more than just another crowded restaurant. It felt romantic, intimate, and somehow like a well-attended family gathering all at once. Thank you, Grace and Rose, for continuing to provide a unique space where people can come together to enjoy thoughtfully curated food and good company -- especially for the rest of us heathens who just want to get out of the house and not cook dinner on a Friday night. Cheers. read more

Overall, the atmosphere and the food were absolutely delightful. Great service we had the stuffed fix the heirloom tomatoes. I had steak and my partner had chicken. Every bit of the food was absolutely scrumptious. We are not wine drinkers so unfortunately, we could not partake in that but they all looked fabulous. Music played in the background so the ambience was nice. Great evening in Paso. My only comment would be is the owner came over to basically tell if someone was waiting on our table. I'm pretty much kicked us out. I felt that could've been done in a much more professional nicer way and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. For that, I could not give it five stars. read more

How do you really believe that everything on the menu is fantastic .. well you have to of eaten there enough times to experience Grace & Rose... I might have to say that their Branzino (Sea Bass) has got to be my favorite.. I have tried many a fish entrées, but this one has to beat them all. It was prepared better than any of the restaurants that I've eaten at here in the United States and Europe. You'll have to try it. The wine list is very extensive and fairly priced. Thank you Justin for your attention to excellence. read more

A couple weeks late on this review but this is one of my new favorite restaurants in Paso! Usually when I got out to eat at a restaurant there are some good and not so good elements ... like the appetizer was just okay but the entree was delicious or vice versa. Everything we ordered from grace and rose was a hit!!! They did not miss from the cheese board to the appetizer to the entree and the dessert. It was all delicious. The Brie cheese specifically on the cheese board won my heart. The most buttery delicious Brie I have ever encountered in my life lol. To top it off all of this delicious food is enjoyed in a super cute restored farmhouse. All the staff were super pleasant. read more

Wow. Just wow. Morro Bay oysters, phenomenal. Sourdough bread, phenomenal. Caprese, phenomenal. Bavette steak, more like filet with better flavor, phenomenal. Our waiter Nick steered us perfectly - he's a stud. The somm (didn't catch her name) guided us through wines by the glass early and then a fantastic local bottle from Riise. She was so easy to discuss wine with and made the process easy and enjoyable. Best dinner we've had in as long as we can remember. Super impressed. read more

Made a reservation for day 2 of their grand opening last Saturday 8/2 and wow - what an amazing meal. We sat outside on the patio, which got a bit toasty since it was a hot day but wanted the experience. Next time might opt for AC indoors. We ordered: - Country loaf and butter (5/5): lightly toasted, delicious butter - Lamb meatballs (4/5): special of the day but the lamb meatballs were small and hard, not our favorite - kale and fennel salad (5/5): opted for lightly dressed which was perfect, good texture lots of cheese - summer squash (5/5): perfectly grilled - brick chicken (6/5): best chicken of my life probably, so moist. Dreaming about this for a while - sea bass (5/5): also perfectly cooked - basque cake (4/5): not our style but it was the only dessert that day, a bit dry - espresso (4/5): not pictured that went with the cake - ultima tulie cab franc (5/5): 2023 was a great vintage, generous glass pour Can't wait to be back next time in Paso! read more

Food and service was exceptional and ambiance was perfect. That's just to start! I started with the beet salad then had the risotto while my husband opted for the steak and fries.

We finally got to go to Grace & Rose for my birthday and I had the best time!! To start, the host was super nice and accommodating (even gave us her own chair to sit us at the wine bar since we walked in with no reservation) and the service from Kristina at the bar was delightful. We ordered all their apps and I was obsessed with the dates and goat cheese, and their bread was yummy as well!! My husband and I shared the steak tenderloin and subbed for smashed potatoes and it was SO good!!! Still thinking about it. They had a great wine list with lots of local wine but also international which is fun as a Paso local who wants to try a bit of new things. Had a little birthday dessert which was so sweet of them! The decor and mood was so cute, I need to come back!! read more

We had a wonderful time at this charming restaurant. We ate outside on the porch. A lovely breeze was blowing, so we were perfectly comfortable on what had been a very hot day. Everyone's food choices were a hit- especially the brick chicken. The portions and the overall price were reasonable, and the service was excellent. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience. I stopped by around 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday, and although the restaurant was essentially empty, I was told they do not accept walk-ins and would not seat me. I understand that some restaurants have reservation-only policies, but it was frustrating to see so many empty tables and still be turned away. Sad but true--this experience left me disappointed, and unfortunately I won't be returning. read more

Had a really great dinner here. The space is beautiful and the overall concept feels fresh and thoughtfully executed. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only slight drawback was the noise level; it can get pretty loud inside but that's somewhat expected given the set-up. That aside, the food was excellent, interesting and well-presented. I'd absolutely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great new dinner spot in Paso. read more

This might be a bold statement, but I think this is the best restaurant in SLO County! From the moment we walked up the stairs to the beautifully renovated house with its massive porch, we knew we were in for something special. We were seated outside, where the evening was warm and perfectly lit. The wine list immediately set the tone--Clos Solène, Tablas Creek, Law, Booker, and more. One of my pet peeves is when SLO County restaurants don't showcase the incredible wines made here, so this was a standout right away. We started with a bottle of Clos Solène sparkling rosé, paired with a dozen Morro Bay oysters and a kale salad--absolutely perfect. Next came the Etto pasta and corn chowder, both flawless. By then we were already blown away, but we couldn't resist continuing: a Clos Solène Pinot (spectacular), filet medallions with fries, and a sea bass with basil cream sauce. Every single dish was a 10. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress Jackie was outstanding, hostess Jen and the rest of the staff were warm and attentive, and meeting the chef and his wife sealed the deal--we left wanting to support them even more. If you're looking for the best food in the county, get here before reservations are impossible. We're still stunned by the experience! read more

We were seated upon arrival. We really liked the atmosphere. The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood and it feels as if you are in someone's home and being treated to a delicious home-cooked meal. Our server was terrific. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and a delightful person. Hubby had the beet salad which was outstanding. I had the mussel chowder which is something I haven't tasted before. I've had plenty of chowders, but none had mussels. It was everything I imagined a mussel chowder should taste like. It wasn't too creamy or salty. It had the right amount of both without being overloaded with potatoes or heavy cream like some chowders hide behind. I absolutely loved the grilled branzino. The skin was crispy and the flesh was flaky and bursting with flavor. Even though I was getting full, I had to finish it because it was so delectable. Hubby said his pork chop was flavorful, but it was quite tough and difficult to chew. The food was seasoned well, but we wanted fresh cracked pepper. It was never offered to us and we had to ask. These are the reasons for 4 stars as opposed to 5. We def plan to return and try other items on their farm-to-table menu. read more

Farm to table places are everywhere, and some famous ones just don't live up to the hype. Grace and Rose, on the other hand, deliver excellent preparation of flavorful fresh and locally source ingredients. Served in a quaint but rather large living room and porch home in Paso, just two blocks away from the central park. We enjoyed the Kale & Fennel Salad, Brussel Sprouts, Pork Chop and Ribeye. With many great options for culinary establishments, the newly opened Grace and Rose is in my top 10 and will give the others a run for the money as they tweak their game. read more

I ate here two nights ago and I am STILL thinking about the Brick Chicken that I had-- and the appetizers. Grace + Rose is NOTHING short of amazing. We walked up at 5pm and were lucky enough to get a table because the rest of the night was super slammed-- everyone seemed to have reservations. We started with the bruschetta and the bread bike bread + butter appetizers and ginger mocktail-- I have no words for how beautiful and good the tomatoes on the bruschetta were, like SERIOUSLY. Possibly the best tomatoes I have ever eaten in my life. The bread was nothing short of TO DIE FOR, and I own a bakery-- Bread Bike mills their own flour and I have had their baked goods before so I knew what to expect but like.... SO GOOD. Then the chicken. I have two favorite Brick chickens: a spot in Catalina and if the chef is in a good mood, The Paso Robles Inn... this BLEW both away. Incredible. I will dream of this until my next visit. I don't drink wine but their list is extensive and award winning and Justin + Julie know what they are doing. Our server, Nick was incredible and everyone we encountered was hospitable and kind. We were lucky enough to get a tour of the renovated house and it's a true dream building. Justin + Julie, I am SO HAPPY to see your restaurant bustling, busy and you guys thriving. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Dining on the front porch is a must if you can get a table. The setting is beautiful, and it makes the experience even more memorable. The wine list is innovative, and their recent Wine Spectator Award is well deserved. Chef Justin's food features bold, thoughtful flavors, with every dish beautifully executed. It's rare to find a restaurant where every staff member you encounter is so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely hospitable. The service is simply the best we've experienced in years. Kristine has an incredible talent for pairing the perfect wine with your meal, making the entire dining experience exceptional. read more

Limited menu.......needs more choices. Good atmosphere, good service. The steak I had was tough and very little else on the plate.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing dinner here. Late July, booked a reservation for the patio at 8PM. The weather had finally cooled off and we were so comfortable out there. The patio and the inside of the restaurant itself were so cute. We were greeted quickly by multiple people but ultimately we had a great server, who I believe was named Nick. We ordered a bottle of Albariño and the woman that opened it was also wonderful. Between our server and the woman who opened our wine, we literally never poured the wine ourselves. We had the kale salad, the carrots, and the pasta. All of these dishes were fantastic. Each dish was fresh, textural, and balanced. We were just in town for a few days, but if we lived in Paso, this place would be on the regular rotation. Food was excellent, service was even better (if that's even possible!). There was a palpable thoughtfulness in their approach to welcoming guests. We were truly delighted with our experience here and cannot wait to return. Thank you! read more

Initially our reservation was for two, but wanted to add two and they were able to take us! Let me just say all the food was amazing and we all were very happy with our choices! We had the stuffed dates, beet salad, butternut squash soup, pork chop, chicken, fish and pasta. We shared everything and I can say it all was exceptional! Nice bottle of Chardonnay and it was the perfect dinner. Met the chef, and he was a nice guy! Our servers were excellent. The place was full but not loud-it's a mellow vibe and we sat inside enjoying our conversation. We will definitely be back. read more
