    The only con of having a favorite restaurant you don't want to give up is you have limited chances to try new ones. This time I finally got a chance to try In Bloom that a friend recommended to us a year and a half ago. The beet salad with edible soil a.k.a seasoned breadcrumbs was beautifully presented and delicious. The korobuta pork chop charged by the ounce means you get the size you need to share but leans on the pricy side due to the weight of the bone and fat cap. The standout was the king salmon and the chef did it justice, perfectly cooked, so moist and buttery. I personally would skip the drinks next time as it was just okay and save the money for the food. Right next door to LeoLeo if you want to split a gelato afterwards.

    Everything was exceptional, truly, from the service to the food. The ricotta triangoli was everyone's favorite so if i had to recommend anything in particular it would be that but honestly you can't go wrong with anything here. The dish we all liked least was the chips and dip (with caviar). The interior is also beautifully decorated and even the bathrooms are beautiful. Obviously it's expensive but it's worth it for the quality of food and upscale dining experience. Highly recommend !

    Super cute restaurant and pretty good food. The best part were the owners so took the time to come by our table and speak with us.

    I loved how fresh everything tasted. The menu looked delicately curated with so much love. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, she was so kind and warm. Must try - mushroom dish

    Branzino
    Jamie S.

    We were greeted and sat right away. We did have a reservation. The interior was well decorated and the music was at just the right volume. Conversation was easy. We started with the Shrimp Tostada. The flavor was good but the shrimp ceviche were definitely under-cured in the citrus. We both decided upon the grilled branzino. Our server warned us about there possibly being a stray bone or two in the fish. Good thing because we both had a pile of bones on our plates. We were actually very anxious while eating. The fish came with two competing sauces on it. The worst was the strawberry chipotle which tasted like a BBQ sauce and over powered this delicate, flaky fish. Our server, Kelsey, who was awesome, noticed all of the bones and made the kitchen aware. Not until we were just about done eating the branzino, the manager approached, apologized and offered to fire us another fish. His timing was way off as far as his offer. I had branzino at Grace & Rose a few nights before and I couldn't stop eating it. It was $18 less expensive and came with a luscious lemon butter sauce and fennel. And...there were zero bones. Kelsey offered to bring us another item and we asked to try the Tempura Squash. We each ate a piece and didn't finish the rest. It was like eating baby food mushy squash in a tempura batter. The batter was well executed, but the squash was definitely lacking in flavor and texture. She then brought us a complimentary dessert which was the highlight of the meal. Management did remove several items from our bill. I normally would protest that but it was necessary and also appreciated. We dined here previously and enjoyed our meal. I can't see us returning.

    First time at In Bloom and we were so excited because we've been wanting to try it for so long! It was really cute inside I loved the ambiance, table decor and the bar was gorgeous too! The service from Kelsey was very good, she was friendly and knowledgeable and really made us feel welcomed! The food was very good! We had to start the foaccacia bread with a blueberry butter spread, the tempura squash and mushroom risotto! Then we got the wagyu smash-burger and fries plus the double cut pork chop for entrees! The wagyu burger was so good and the fries were insanely good!! The pork chop was enjoyed by my husband, he said it was really yum and maybe I just have herbivore teeth but I found it to be sort of chewy and dry! Still flavorful with the chili sauce and apple honey butter. Their sparkling rose was nice and my husband enjoyed the Tangerine cocktail! Ooh, and we got the Millie dessert and it was also very delicious ! Overall we'd not only recommend but would go again!

    My favorite dinner in Paso Robles... even above those places you'll find via Michelin. Flavors, colors, etc. We're on point for everything we ordered. Service was great. We'll definitely be back when we visit next!

    Absolutely loved the food and drinks--everything was bursting with flavor. The gnocchi was especially outstanding--pillowy, rich, and perfectly cooked. And the bread? Truly to die for. We had to sit outside, which on any other evening would have been perfect, but the wind made it a bit challenging to fully enjoy the experience. It got quite cold, and unfortunately, the outdoor heaters didn't quite cut it. Our server was polite and efficient, though she seemed a bit disengaged, which slightly affected the overall vibe. Despite that, I would absolutely return. The quality of the food alone makes this place worth a second (and third) visit.

    Delicious, fun tapas style dishes. Not better than LA, but probably the best tapas in Paso Robles

    We had the loveliest meal at In Bloom. We were limited in dining options with our pup and were thankful to find a restaurant with a great outdoor vibe, good food and very dog friendly. I was told the menu changes often so what we had may no longer be available depending on when you dine but the standouts for us were the pork chop and the duck wings. Our server was really personable as well. Give this spot a try if you're ever in the area!

    Maddy M.

    Came here for my birthday dinner. I enjoyed the ambiance and our server was the absolute best. Favorite dishes were the scallops (OMG) and the yukon gold potatoes. We also ordered the delicata squash which was good, and the pork shank. We actually ended up sending the pork shank back because it just seemed really dry. I'm not someone that sends food back frequently. Our waiter was super apologetic and took it off our bill which was greatly appreciated. The manager came by and was really short with us. He said something like "Sorry the Pork Shank wasn't to your liking" and we started to tell him about how good everything else was but he turned and walked away as we were mid sentence. Super weird! We were kind of shocked honestly. Not sure I would come back here based on that experience, but maybe the manager was having a bad day. But if you go, get the scallops for sure!

    Courtesy espresso martinis- expertly made!
    Jeni P.

    I came here with my spouse for our anniversary, and it was everything we hoped for! The restaurant itself was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and bright. Our service was literally impeccable- friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt without being overbearing. I got the peach cocktail and my spouse got a beer, but they also gifted us free bubbly to start and wee espresso martinis at the end. Everything was so good, but those espresso drinks were next level! For food, we ordered the potato's (I want to eat them for every meal until I die), the mushrooms (buttery and savory and tender), the salmon (so crispy and flavorful), and the pork chop (omg, truly melt in your mouth tender and the crispy corn things were amazing). We were so full and happy, and will definitely be back!

    We drove to Paso Robles on Sunday for a 5 o'clock reservation at In Bloom. According to the weather app, the wind chill was about 46 degrees, but it felt colder outside the restaurant. We arrived at 4:56 to find the door locked, and a hostess telling us they wouldn't open until 5:00. After waiting five minutes in the food court in the next building, we returned at 5:00 to find her unlocking the door and letting us in. Inside, I mentioned the cold gusty winds outside, but received blank stares from the staff. The hostess tried to seat us at the 4-top table next to the front door, but I politely asked to sit away from the door. She said all the other tables were booked, then offered the next one over. When I explained that this wouldn't work, the staff, who seemed older than the hostess, said not a word, didn't reply or say goodbye; they just let us leave. The restaurant was empty, and their reservation system didn't let us choose a specific table. It's unclear if each table was reserved or if the restaurant was booked. No one at In Bloom seems to know how to, or cares to, manually change the seating assignment. With other fine dining options available, we probably won't choose In Bloom again. #tobiethefoodie

There are daily specials and so we opted for the Chicken Pot Pie, which was the special on Monday. We started with the Wedge Salad with Chicken, and split both that and the pot pie. It was a perfect amount of food and both dishes were really good. - Service was very good. Bottom line: The Hatch was a great place to go...Not super fancy but also not too casual.

The space is somewhat small and tight for larger parties; however, it is perfect for casual dining. I really liked the place--it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I wasn't disappointed either. Keep in mind that it can be a bit pricey; it's not so casual that it's inexpensive. I would estimate spending between $50 to $100 per person for a nice meal, including drinks and gratuity. When you're in Paso Robles, do what the locals and visitors alike do: head over to Hatch Rotisserie & Bar for a nice, down-to-earth upscale vibe.

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.

My dad tried the salmon taco, which he thought was just okay. A bit greasy and not something he'd reorder, but still fine for a quick bite. The outdoor seating is lovely -- a peaceful garden-style patio that makes the whole experience feel relaxed and charming. My only wish is that the menu had a few more options, as it's definitely on the limited side. Overall, great ambiance, exceptional salad, the service is fast, friendly; a nice little stop if you're passing through Paso Robles.

Most places were closed. Hunger was no longer a condition; it was an animal. Then Street Side Alehouse appeared like a nighttime oasis between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Paso itself deserves a quick salute. For a town of roughly 25,000, it seems to have somehow negotiated with the restaurant gods and won. Downtown is charming, walkable, warmly lit, and centered around a city park that at night looks almost suspiciously pleasant--like Woodstock, Illinois and Santa Fe Plaza had a Central Coast baby and taught it manners. Inside Street Side: rustic wood, beer-barrel décor, a lively bar, and enough TVs to convince your attention span it had entered federal witness protection. Baseball, hockey, basketball, beer menus, interactive trivia, and--most importantly--the Dodgers losing on one screen, which for this lifelong Giants fan counted as complimentary dessert. Despite the packed house, the host/owner/possible Swiss Army knife of hospitality spotted two hungry outsiders and seated us quickly. No drama. No "kitchen's closing" death stare. Just calm, friendly competence. Our waitress was excellent: warm, sharp, sincere, professional, and blessed with the kind of personality that can make a tired traveler feel less like roadkill in camouflage shorts. Service: easy 5/5. Food became the main event. My lady wanted comfort food, and the Street Mac n Cheese delivered creamy, happy, elbow-pasta therapy in a little skillet. 4.5/5. The bacon-wrapped jalapeños were smoky, cheesy, spicy little danger logs with dipping sauce--very good, 4.4/5. The flank steak (chimichurri sp?) salad was colorful and fresh, though the steak itself was a bit tough, so call that a 3.5/5: respectable, but not the valedictorian. Then came my lamb burger: arugula, feta, aioli, and a giant stewed tomato wearing balsamic like it had just come back from a very emotional opera. Excellent. Messy in the right way. Rich, savory, satisfying. 5/5. The rosemary fries were crisp and solid, though I would've liked the rosemary to kick the door open a little harder. Cocktail-wise, I had an Old Fashioned that did exactly what an Old Fashioned should do after a long drive: lower the volume of civilization. My lady had a Cali Squeeze Blood Orange IPA and was happy. That matters. The whole night had that accidental-road-trip-magic quality where you look around and think: why have we driven between the Bay Area and Southern California hundreds of times and never treated Paso Robles like the strategic overnight masterpiece it clearly is? You can launch from here toward Santa Barbara, Monterey, Big Sur, Salinas/Steinbeck country, Fresno, Bakersfield, Sacramento, Stockton, even Death Valley if your GPS has a gambling problem. Street Side was the perfect late-night rescue: lively but not obnoxious, casual but not lazy, sports-bar energy without becoming a fluorescent punishment chamber, and food good enough to make two tired travelers feel like they had discovered a new California road-trip hack. Thank you, Street Side Alehouse & Eatery, for feeding us when we were starving, charming us when we were tired, and giving Paso Robles another reason to become a regular stop. 5/5. Absolute Friday-night save.

In a word, the overall Six Test Kitchen experience was PERFECTION! Thank you to Chef Ricky and his team for creating a very unique and special dining experience. Food: Delicious. Beautiful. Sumptuous. Thoughtful. Creative. Props to the chef for taking great care not to serve us cilantro, which one of us can't eat. He went out of his way to ask us questions about this prior and we were so grateful for his clear communication to ensure we had a great experience. We enjoyed 14 (!) tastings and we were stuffed afterwards - which is quite surprising since the tastes are small. We did not order the wine pairings and are so glad we didn't because we think we would have been too full to enjoy all of the food. We saved our wine tasting for the previous and following days when visiting wineries, and we didn't feel it was necessary to include with this experience. We took a few photos of the food, but didn't want to spend a lot of time taking photos (since we wanted to really enjoy the food) and then luckily, we met a couple the next day at our hotel who also had dined at the restaurant at the same time we did, and they shared more photos too. So I'll include all of those photos here. Ambience: Comfortable and Intimate. We felt like we were on an episode of Hell's Kitchen - the lighting is dim-ish, you are sitting around a bar next to 11 other patrons, looking into the kitchen with steel appliances and counters and watching the chefs prepare your food very diligently. Service: Straightforward. Each chef that delivered the food was polite, but not overly chatty as they were focused on preparing and delivering the food. We can't say enough about our first Six Test Kitchen experience. We have been raving about it ever since we dined in February. On our next trip to Paso Robles, which we hope is soon, we plan to go back. We made sure to make our reservation well in advance as we had heard it books up, so make sure to mark your calendar if you want to go! Value: We thought the experience was well-priced. The very next day, we had booked a six-course dining experience at Justin Winery. It was quite good and was about the same price, and we felt Six Test Kitchen was just a better value and experience overall. We would choose Six Text Kitchen over that experience for a Michelin-star tasting experience that was truly immersive and fun. To end the night, they presented the menu to us detailing all a list of all of the food we enjoyed and signed it. A very nice touch! Can't wait to come back and enjoy another memorable evening with the Six Test Kitchen team!!!!
