    Amazing Experience at Paeso – Top Tier! From the moment we arrived, everything about our visit to Paeso was exceptional. We were greeted immediately with no wait, and the greeter welcomed us warmly with a smile. Our server was incredibly kind, efficient, and attentive throughout our meal. As a vegan, I was concerned about limited options, but our server went above and beyond to find a solution. She was knowledgeable and accommodating, and when the menu only offered a salad, the kitchen stepped up and prepared a delicious custom vegan dish just for me. To top it off, they surprised my husband with a dairy-free birthday dessert that was thoughtful and absolutely delightful. His meal was equally amazing, and he couldn’t stop raving about it. The service was seamless, from offering to-go boxes to making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we left very pleased with the experience. I will absolutely recommend Paeso to others and look forward to visiting again. A true gem!

    I was excited to try this restaurant and planned a date night here. The ambiance is great and the restaurant is beautiful. We ended up not staying for dinner however because the menu on the restaurant website was different than the offerings available at the restaurant. On their website there is multiple vegetarian and vegan food options however when we arrived at the restaurant there was no entrees available for a plant based diet. I was disappointed because I felt like I had did my proper research beforehand but left empty handed. Id recommend calling before dining to ensure there are options available for specialized diets

    5 star experience! Food was delicious, we had hummus brulee, waygu steak, bucatini and carrots. Everything was served hot and perfectly prepared. Ashley is a superstar, she was waiting tables and tending bar and she killed it. Paseo is definitely a top 5 dining choice in the city. I will recommend to others!

    I love Paseo. My second time there and they are 2 for 2 with excellent food and service. Our server, Ashley, was delightful. She started me with a “dealers choice” glas of red wine, and served a gamay that was delicious. The octopus is AMAZING! The hummus is savory. The atmosphere is open and up-scale casual, with an open kitchen. The service is excellent- friendly, personal, efficient, but not rushed. Paseo is quickly becoming a favorite and go-to on my list!

    Excellent spot for a date night. We truly enjoyed our meal and service was great. The food was delicious and fresh. We loved the open kitchen layout and the music for the evening was delightful.

    This was our first time dining at Paseo. When we arrived, we had a two top reserved and we felt it was uncomfortably close to other diners - these two-tops were literally all in a row about a foot apart. We asked if we could be seated somewhere else and the hostess obliged and put us at an end table which made us much more comfortable. We started with the hummus appetizer and it is one of the best appetizers we’ve had recently. Make sure you get the crudités in addition to the pita! My wife, had the scallops and I enjoyed a pasta dish with Wagyu beef as entrees. Both were fantastic. There was one issue with the scallop dish, it was not warm when it was served to us, but they quickly took care of it (still giving 5 stars because everything was so good and they were so great about making everything right). Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall the ambiance was great, it is a nice/inviting space - and a nice bar area - other than my comment about some of the tables feeling awkwardly close together. We will definitely be back and would recommend Paseo to others.
