Paso Terra

Beautiful fancy food in an artistically decorated French restaurant! Wonderful chefs and intimate service in wine country. I have to go here every time I’m in town they are so welcoming and casual that it’s very relaxing and peaceful to dine here. And the wine pairing is spectacular !

It was our first time in Paso Robles. We haven’t stayed away from home like most in a year. My husband and I wanted to get away for his birthday. We left Orange County around 2:00pm and made it with ease. We were blown away by this beautiful town. When we first walked into Paso Terra we were greeted with the warmest of smiles. They recognized we had a reservation and acknowledged it was my husbands birthday...which was so beautiful and so often overlooked. My husband and I are the type who love to chat and sit at the bar. Well..since those aren’t options anymore, we were so pleased to be able to get to know Christine and Chef. What a marvellous meal. My husband is Portuguese and grew up in London. He is a huge seafood lover. He said it was the best lobster bisque he ever had. I usually don’t order bisque because it will fill me up before the meal. I wish I had because it wasn’t too creamy. It was just all the flavor with big chunks of lobster. The octopus and crab cake appetizer had too many flavors to count. Branzino is my favorite fish and I had never had it served in a Milanese style. This did nothing disappoint. We ended with the chefs Cheescake which was like no other Cheescake texture I’ve ever had. It was complete with a french press coffee (yum). We spoke to other diners who said they had been coming for years and drive in just to come. My husband said it was one of the best birthdays he has ever had. Thank you Paso Terra for bringing a lot of joy to us.

Amazing dinner. Ceviche was great, branzino perfectly cooked. Would skip the trio cakes as an appetizer.

The service was awesome! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. The staff have a really good grasp of the menu and wine list, and are ready for any questions and recommendations. seafood is delicious. Love the food. The scallops were cooked perfectly along with the crab cakes. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My experience at Paso Terra was exceptional! I explained my dietary restrictions to the server and asked if the chef could accommodate. She disappeared for a moment and returned informing me that he would make something special for me. It was perfectly prepared, expertly plated, and delicious. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner a success.
