Tonight's meal was a disappointing experience. My husband and I were seated on the patio. It was a chilly 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. read more

We stopped here on our way back from Monterey, and this place ended up being such a pleasant surprise. I ordered the beet salad and it was honestly the best beet salad I've ever had -- super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Total standout. 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. read more

This is my second time visiting this adorable restaurant and honestly, I love it even more now. The courtyard is sooo cute! The vines, the greenery, the fountain , it's a whole mood! It feels like a tucked-away garden you never want to leave. We came for lunch before wine tasting and had such a lovely experience. Kennedy was our server and she was great, warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. I ordered their Kale Caesar salad and it was not your typical Caesar but in the best way. It had raisins, red onion, crushed pistachios and the dressing had these subtle mustard seeds that gave it this bright, slightly tangy pop. It's their unique take on a Caesar and I'm officially obsessed. I'm definitely going to try to replicate this at home! My boyfriend ordered the soup and sandwich, and once I tried a spoonful of the soup, I instantly ordered a cup of my own. It was the corn and shishito pepper soup, velvety, a little smoky, and had just the right kick without being overly spicy. So, so good! Their menu changes seasonally, and since they are a true farm-to-table restaurant, the best way to see what's currently offered is to check their website. If you're looking for a perfect lunch spot in Paso, especially before wine tasting, definitely give them a visit. It's charming, delicious, and just feels good to be there. read more

Came here for a dinner with some girlfriends while we were in town. We booked a reservation for the patio, but for some reason we were seated in a weird back room next to the bathroom - and we were the only people in there. It was a very strange situation as we felt isolated. After a while, they were actually able to move us to the patio as they had an opening. The patio environment was much nicer and we enjoyed our experience. We ordered a few things off the menu, including the crab cakes, roasted half chicken, biscuits, and kale salad. I would say the food was all pretty good and fresh. We enjoyed the flavors in all of the dishes. I think the standouts were the biscuits though - definitely give those a try. Outside of the initial seating issue, we enjoyed our dinner here. read more

We were back in town for the weekend, and this place was on our itinerary for "must" places to eat. A few of us had been here before, but we wanted to bring our friends who have never been so they too can be WOW'd...and they certainly were! We had made reservations for our party of six. The staff is great and welcoming. Plenty of tables outside on their covered patio, which we were seated on a beautiful Saturday morning. My husband truly enjoyed the Harvest Bowl (added chicken). He really wanted me to try a bite of the grilled chicken and carrot, which were both bursting with flavor! I ordered their Cuban Sandwich, which I absolutely enjoyed. They certainly did not skimp on the pork belly and pork loin...so good! Our friends were also blown away with their choices of the THO Burger and Steak Sandwich as well. They appreciated how fresh and delicious everything tasted, even the bread! All in all, everything was wonderful! Looking forward to coming back again next time! Thanks THO. Cheers and happy eating till then... read more

Have been here twice and each time, the food and service were pretty good. The back patio and restaurant area in the back are both nice. It's a bit weird you have to walk so far in to get to the seating area. Food is solid, nothing that's stellar but nothing that's bad. Service is pretty good but we've been here when they're not busy so there is no excuse. read more

Have dined here a few times in the past. This experience was not good. We were seated at our reservation time. Seating was on the patio as in the past. It was a bit chilly but several well-placed heaters helped. Shishito peppers were good. Pork chop was large and very tasty. Just a tad dry. Crab cakes were terrible - consistency was not good. We sent them back and they were taken off the bill. Unfortunately, there was a lot of excuses and no acknowledgment that it was a bad preparation. Beef Wellington appetizer - was mostly mushrooms and very little beef inside. The biggest disappointment was that the service was extremely slow. Dinner took much longer than what it should have. Going to have to pass on this place next time in Paso. read more

We loved Thomas Hill Organics. It is rare to fine a 100% organic place. We enjoyed the beet salad, olives, and cheddar herb biscuits. For main we had the chili nogada with shrimp and the halibut. We finished with the olive oil cake and chocolate hazelnut cake. Spectacular! Service was great with a nice outside patio setting. read more

Made a reservation for Saturday evening for a group of 4 and initially we were seating in their extreme back area near the bathroom, and we asked if we could dine in their terrace area instead but they told us the tables weren't available, despite multiple tables being open. The area we were seated in was next to the bathroom and we were the only party there and completely isolated, which felt strange. Eventually they were able to accommodate us in the outside seating area which was 10x better. We ordered the kale caesar salad, crab cakes, roasted chicken, and a side of herb and cheese biscuits. All the food was really good and tasty, I'd definitely recommend the food from here, but due to the strange seating experience we had I think that heavily impacts my overall rating for the place. read more

Honestly everything was delicious. We had a lovely server and sat outside on a very chilly night but they had heat lamps and a fire and we were comfortable. Food was fresh and interesting. Flavors were good, textures amazing. I love how they did simple things just really really well. Knocks: Could have used a little salt on the mushrooms. Sourdough toast was delicious but very thick and I prefer a little thinner. No free bread and the bread pudding needed ice cream rather than whipped cream. read more

We heard such good things about the restaurant, we were excited to try it out. Sadly our evening fell flat. To state the good, the outdoor back patio is cozy and heated and the food WAS great. The tomato soup of the day, the crab cakes (two large ones), and the chicken dish (farro, mushroom jus, and kale) were spot on. And I never order chicken out so that's saying a lot. HOWEVER, thing after thing came up throughout the night and just tainted the overall meal. - The service: for the duration of our meal our finished wine glasses and empty beer bottle were left on the table. - Attention to detail: we were celebrating a birthday and saw other tables with candles, etc. yet when our dessert came, nothing (and we were greeted with a 'happy birthday' so they were aware) - Other upset customers: one couple just got up and left because "they had sat down for 20 minutes and no one approached them". Another requested something from the kitchen and instead of saying it wasn't something they had or did, they just kept them waiting. While the food was good, everything else wasn't worth the hassle. Paso has TONS of other places that will knock your socks off. read more

What a wonderful spot! They have a beautiful little patio out back that is quite serene and lovely. Also pup friendly! We came right when they opened for lunch on a Saturday and it was perfect. Our waiter was wonderful, always checking in. All staff we encountered were really friendly. I had a steak sandwich that was fantastic. My husband raved about his burger. Another wonderful little gem downtown! read more

We hadn't ever been here for lunch and decided we wanted to try this place. We knew they had great, fresh food and they didn't disappoint. Sat us immediately with water and menus. Our waiter was exceptional. We all had the Crab Salad Sandwiches with arugula salad. Delicious. Also had a carafe of Bellini. This was a Fruit Bellini rather than a Peach Bellini. It was very refreshing. We will definitely come back. The patio was really nice and the heaters kept us nice and warm. read more

We were a group of 10 and we were greeted with a smile and led to our table with heaters surrounding us for warmth. Our server Jack was the perfect young man to guide us through the menu and taking wonderful care of individuals who have been wine tasting all day. The appetizers were ordered for the table to share with Jack recommendation. The bottle of wine for the table were the perfect choice to please everyone. The food selection was enjoyed with the selection of steak, rack of lamb or other. The portions were very generous and the seasoning was perfect. The chef and owner arrived to our table for a wonderful conversation received a large amount of compliments. To have the chef to visit your table is shows confidence and caring of their customers. read more

Ambiance was beautiful, food was tasty! Our disappointment was there was a food menu item, pork chop, that was not available for the night. Two people from our party wanted to order that item, and they are picky eaters, therefore had convinced them to join us for dinner at this restaurant assuming the menu item they felt comfortable with would be available. Although they both ordered their second option, one was satisfied and the order was partially satisfied. read more

Super early dinner reservations at 5pm to make our 7pm entrance at Sensorio. Already stuffed from a heavy lunch, we took it a little easy. I thought the menu here was very abbreviated, but they offer many specials of the day. Also, what they have is 100% quality and I'll take that over quantity any day. - Mushroom toast special ($23): Fantastic! We loved the variety of all the mushrooms intermingling. We got to try the pink mushrooms we had seen before at a farmers market and were curious about. The toast was crunchy, yet soft and the onion cream worked so well as the "glue" between the mushrooms and the bread. 5/5 - Burrata ($23): Silky, creamy goodness. You can't really go wrong with burrata, prosciutto and arugula. The pears and oranges were also really yummy and drizzled with this sweet balsamic glaze I could not get enough of! 5/5 - Chile relleno ($41): Smoky chile relleno, sweet corn and butternut squash with savory Oxacan cheese and a yummy salsa. Add a few plump, grilled shrimp and this was a winner! All the different elements synched perfectly together. 5/5 Everything was fresh, nicely presented, and tasted delicious! Jack was our server and he was excellent. They have a super cute patio area that was totally booked, so we got seated indoors. Totally fine with us but next visit I will be sure to book the outdoor patio area to enjoy the beautiful weather too! read more

We went here for my birthday and it was a perfect choice. Nice ambiance, good service and the food was amazing!! We ate inside rather than on the heated patio on a very chilly night. 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. read more

OMG! AMAZING! Look we know good food - we are from Marin and have SF & Napa very close by. This restaurant was by far top notch. We had the chicken & Filet Mignon. With a Beet Salad and Kale Caesar salad. All so well balanced in flavor and the perfect organic ingredients. Can't wait to come back . Our server Jack was awesome as well- very knowledgeable and kind. Great birthday dinner . Got to meet the chef Mike Espy to compliment him. Wow! Sit in the heated patio. 10 stars read more

Service was exceptional both our hostess & waiter were beyond amazing. We started with the local bread w/olive & balsamic which was incredible.

It's been 10+ years since we've passed through Paso Robles and visited this wonderful restaurant. We had the burrata to start which was the highlight of our meal - delicious burrata, prosciutto, crisp toast. and the honey drizzled on the pear slices with a little honeycomb was heavenly. Also ordered the cubano with pork loin and pork belly which was delicious. My partner ordered the Cajun shrimp tacos which were good but could have used a little more flavor. We were well taken care of by Connor. (Thank you!) read more

Stopped by on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were seated immediately outside under a covered patio with a heater. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered the cauliflower salad to start. It was plated beautifully and full of flavor. For our mains we chose the skirt steak and pork belly tacos. Both dishes were balanced, and contained lots of fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the carrot puree on the tacos. Despite the heater, it was still very cold throughout the meal. I saw diners at other tables bundled up too. Cost wise, it was a bit on the pricier side. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will plan on being back in the future! read more

This place belongs in Paso. It's a perfect part of the experience getting to visit a quant and quiet wine town. The back patio is basically the main dining - it's hard to imagine sitting inside when you have that cozy, covered space and birds chirping and soft music playing on a warm day. The service was quick. It wasn't busy and we were seated immediately and picked our table. The menu has tons of great options. All are fairly light and the ingredients are simple. We had burrata and farro salads and they were perfect. The burrata comes with a lot and they all balance it so well. The honeycombs on the pear...SO soft and perfectly sweet. The farro salad was filling and had a lot of flavors that went together great. If you care about quality ingredients and appreciate a simple meal, perfect place! read more

Was recommended Thomas Hill Organics to try on our first trip to Paso Robles. They were ver accommodating on seating us early in the patio. Had their wild mushroom toast which we thought was a little too crusty to enjoy the taste of the mushrooms. My wife tried the halibut which she thought was well cooked and delicious. I tried the Chile Nogada w NY Steak. Served didn't ask how I wanted the steak cooked? Still the dish was delicious. Service brought my rating down with having to wait for awhile to get our water and ice tea refilled. Key on a warm night outside. We also had a lot of gnats and flies on the patio which did make it had to enjoy the food fully. read more

I've been going here every time I come through Paso Robles. Fresh organic delicious and made with care. Highly recommended

It's been a little over 4 years since my last visit at Thomas Hill Organics and me and the Wine/Foodie BFFs had a blast! This visit was a Brunch one and it was yum. Everyone loved their dishes. Biscuits - Super fresh and the perfect side dish Eggs Benedict - My Friend inhaled her dish quickly.. Chiliquilles Smoked Salmon THO Burger - This was my brunch order and it was on point. Cooked perfectly to medium as i requested. I can taste the quality of the ingredients with each bite. We sat outside in the covered/enclosed tent like area between the two buildings. The heater lamps were on and the decor made it feel like it we were still inside. Good times. Well 4 years later and THO knocked it out again. My next visit to Paso Robles will include another stop here and hopefully I don't wait 4 years. Cheers! read more

This place was suggested on numerous "Top/Best Restaurant" lists. However, the experience was just OK. Ordered a variety of things, but nothing was memorable. It's a good thing I uploaded pics to remind myself what we had. Came for dinner on a weeknight so there were not very many people, which then, you would expect the service to be good. It, however, was a bit clumsy. One of the servers/runners was fumbling all night. When one of the dishes which highlighted the mushrooms was brought out, the "dude" was struggling with placing dishes. In anticipation, I tried helping but sure enough, he still spilled 2/3 of the mushrooms on the table and said he'd bring back more mushrooms; he never did. Comedy. Ambiance was ok; think it's probably better as a lunch spot. Too bad they don't serve the hamburger at dinner; it looked good online. Based on my first and last experience, I will never know. read more

Great place to enjoy a fresh, farm to table lunch in Paso Robles. They have a nice bar, patio, and indoor dining area. Patio is covered and pet-friendly. We tried... * Soup of the Day - Feature of the day was a corn, celery and shishito pepper soup made with cream or dairy free. We tried the dairy free version which was really tasty, and packed medium heat. * Fish Tacos - Fish of the day was rockfish. 4 small hand tacos. Very fresh and tasty. * Warm Grain Chicken Salad - Nice, tender grilled chicken breast over a mixed green salad and farro. Very good. Service was fair. Ambiance was nice. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but understandable for featuring organic farm to table ingredients. read more

The dinner was absolutely amazing. We had 3 appetizers and 2 dinners family style and everything was amazing. My favorite appetizer was the "pears and pecans" salad then the "herb and cheese" biscuits. The Baratta salad was ok but the buratta wasn't as good as I've had in the past. Our main courses were the pork chop and the steak. The seasoning on the pork chop was out of this world! read more

The food was delicious but a bit pricey. I loved the bread service actually ! It was $9 but totally worth it. It came with 3 different types of bread: French baguette, sourdough and brioche. The jam was freshly-made and had a hint of red wine in it. The salted butter was heavenly. I got the eggs Benedict and it was on par with most brunch places. I highly recommend asking for the house-made hot sauce. I liked it so much I bought a small container home. And now I wish I had bought more ! We sat in the back and the ambiance was great. I felt so relaxed sitting there. I do recommend making a reservation in advance. We were there for Father's Day and we were offered complimentary champagne! This restaurant is located in downtown Paso Robles and parking can be hard to find so allow time for that . Overall, we had a great experience. read more

Hands down one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had in a long time. The food was bland and overpriced, the menu felt like an afterthought and extremely limited, and the service was shockingly bad. We even noted in advance that it was a birthday -- not so much as a candle or a "happy birthday." They automatically added a 20% gratuity for our party of six, which probably explains the zero effort from the staff. The bill? $500 -- without a single drink. For that price, we expected at least decent food or a little hospitality. Instead, we left feeling ripped off and irritated. There are too many great restaurants in town to waste time or money here. read more

One of the best places to eat in Paso Robles. We have eaten here a lot and have never had a bad dish here. The salads are incredible and the steaks are always cooked to perfection. French toast is the best we have ever had. This restaurant makes farm to table delicious. We will be back for the next three years our son is in college at Cal Poly, he loves it here too. Happy Yelping! read more

My wife and I were in Paso Robles for a special occasion, and we had reserved dinner at Thomas Hill Organics as our celebratory dinner well over a month in advance. We arrived on time and were told by the hostess that a private dinner was going on in the courtyard dining area and that we couldn't be seated in that area. The only option was to eat at the bar or at one of two high tops in the bar area with everyone walking by. They knew this would not sit well with any customer, yet they made NO attempt to contact us informing us of the situation and providing the option to reschedule. The hostess was not accommodating, curt, and not professional in the least. We were not happy ... but OK. The environment was noisy. We had to listen to an ice machine and TV drone on, and as new patrons arrived who were not part of the private event (I asked them) within 30 minutes of our arrival, they were all seated in the dining patio area. I was curious, so I walked to area and saw multiple tables for two open. We were the only people in the bar area for the majority of our dinner. One must conclude the hostess was either incompetent or lying, neither option evokes a desire to return. I will say the food was quite good. We decided to share multiple courses and started with the Crab Cakes and Mushroom Toast. We then had a bowl of the Corn Soup and the Burrata salad followed by the Chile Relleno for our main. However, they brought it out all at once on a high-top table for two. There was literally no room to put all the plates on the small table. As a high end restaurant, they should know how to provide a multiple course dinner for an enjoyable experience. I have never written a review of a restaurant. The thoroughly unpleasant experience has pushed me to do so. We go to Paso about once a year, Thomas Hill Organics is a one and done. read more

This was a gem of a find in Paso Robles! The whole place was gorgeous. We sat in the courtyard. It was a little chilly and they had heat lamps to keep us warm. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed immediately that this isn't a place to bring your kids. It was eerily quiet, maybe because we didn't go at a crowded time. A quick scan of the room also showed me that the average patron was past middle age. I tried my best to keep my kids quiet so they wouldn't disturb other tables. With that said, I loved their food and drinks! The champagne I ordered was the perfect pairing for the charcuterie board. The presentation of the board was so cute. I loved it! We also got the reggiano thyme biscuits. The shrimp and grits entree got my attention and proved to be an excellent choice. It was beyond my expectations! I highly recommend that. My husband ordered the chicken entree and it was actually really filling. We shared a few bites with each other and were equally impressed with the food. They made the chicken perfectly. I'd order that next time. I wouldn't say that the portion size was generous, but we both left satisfied and full. Oh I have to note that they didn't have any kids menus. Thank God our kids had eaten in the car and weren't that hungry. read more

We made a reservation online and were eager to try the fresh farm-to-table experience we thought Thomas Hill Organics would deliver. The menu we saw online looked interesting. We arrived to an empty restaurant featuring a long bar with one hostess. We were told that our table wasn't ready but would be in 10 minutes. Several parties arrived after us and were told the same thing. After several people were crammed into the foyer uncomfortably waiting for tables, we were led back to a patio with a tent cover. There were several tables with heaters. The indoor dining area was in a building beyond that and the kitchen was attached. Upon being seated, our server awkwardly rattled off all the specials for the day. She seemed super nervous and unsure of everything. No smile or personality. We felt uncomfortable. She retuned for beverages and we decided to stick to the bottle of water. So she disappeared for a long period of time. Eventually she returned to take appetizer and entree orders. We ordered bread and a beet salad. I decided soon after I wanted a drink but the drink menu was gone and so was our server. The first courses came out relatively quick. Our entrees took a really long time. An hour after being seated, we didn't have entrees. Eventually our server said it would be soon. My wife ordered the vegetable bowl and I had the salmon. There were several loud tables including a table of 9 which further hindered the experience. The only friendliness from our server was upon our departure. We're super friendly polite people but didn't get treated well here. We were led back through the empty wine bar upon our exit. I took a few photos of the empty room. I expect they don't seat parties promptly to help people from the street see customers. They should consider closing the bar and having the entrance in the back dining room building. It seems like a wasted space with emptiness. All the food we had was delicious. Service and the ambiance were subpar. Two stars for delicious food only. We don't expect to return. read more
