Best Seasonal Restaurants in Paso Robles

We make an annual visit to Il Cortile for a special dinner and, while we've never been disappointed, this year was the most amazing! Of the amazing dishes and service I want to call out - Ivan, our server was so helpful and described each dish so well to help us decide - scallop appetizer was devine, cooked so perfectly and tender, served with delicious small sauces of variating flavor profiles - pesto truffle gnocchi was the most pillow-like and light gnocchi I've ever had, the flavor was out of this world - sea bass and branzino each had a flavorful and crispy side, fish was tender and cooked perfectly - osso bucco sets a new standard for that dish Only drawback is if you are seated in the patio it's rather chilly and not as comfortable an area. This was the first year we got to sit inside and it was so much better. Try to get reservations for the dining room! Thank you Ivan and Il Cortile for yet another memorable meal!

Darcy was attentive and made great recommendations on both drink and food. Our cocktail were done proper and the food was unique without being over the topic. Great comfy lounge cal spot that made two tourist to the areas feel at home. Fully recommend. This place is a special spot.

We had a lovely shared tasting over lunch. We had the special appetizer, mushrooms in a butter sauce with goat cheese smeared crostini. Delicious. Then we both ordered the beet salad. It was amazingly fresh and oh so good with diced sweet potatoes, hearts of palm, artichoke hearts just to name a few ingredients. This is a go to when you’re wine tasting in the area!

It was a nice place to celebrate our 35th anniversary. The host was very nice, the place was clean and even that it was raining and we were outside the place was great. Loved to come back some other time.

We ate in the Grand Ballroom the the Christmas buffet special. The prime rib was one of the best I've ever had, there were several other choices to choose from as well as a plethora of delicious and healthy sides. The cheesecake was like heaven in every bite. The service was also amazing considering it was Christmas Day and more than likely they had less on hand then normal. We'll definitely eat here again for our annual Christmas dinner.
