   We have eaten at the Paso Steakhouse several times and liked their consistency with their food. However, last night was a disappointment. My husband and I ordered the prime rib, but started with their roasted brussel sprouts appetizer. The brussel sprouts were delicious. However, the prime rib was tough, flavorless, and arrived lukewarm. My husband ate his, but I could barely eat it. I did eat the baked potato and roasted asparagus, which were both fine. Once our food was delivered, our waitress never came by to check on us. We were only drinking water, and she never came back to refill my husband's empty water glass. The manager was walking around the room, but he did not notice that my meal was barely touched until my husband was completely finished. He then asked if there was a problem, and we explained the issues with the prime rib. He apologized and said he would take care of things. The waitress finally came back with the check, but never mentioned any problems with the food. The manager had taken my meal off the bill, which we appreciated. In the end, we were very disappointed with the food. I really wanted to like the meal because I like the Paso Robles Inn, which was recently renovated and has kept its historic charm intact. With so many good restaurants in Paso Robles, I doubt we will return to the Paso Steakhouse.

   Very good food but you could tell the restaurant is hurting for servers. We sat with empty water and wine glass for 15 minutes as our server passed us by several times. Recommend this place for the food but be aware service might be lacking a tad

   We had a drink in the bar before our meal. We were able to be seated early. Our waiter was awesome. He answered all our questions. The food was delicious and well prepared. We both had prime rib that was prepared to our liking. We did not do dessert as we were very full. Our table looked out over the park with all the Christmas lights and decorations. A very nice evening and experience. We will be back.

   Made reservations based on diner menu, only to be limited to the Christmas menu. Hostess and server both said it was chef’s choice leaving me to settle for something I really didn’t want. We should have left.

   This is our second time bringing our family for Christmas dinner. Our first experience was amazing. I was told the restaurant was sold to a corporation. Our experience yesterday definitely revealed a change in service and food quality. We waited one and a half hours after being seated to actually receive our entrée, the food that we received was called and had to be sent back. I informed the manager, and he told me he’s not from the area and was just here temporarily to help. He offered no solution and no compensation for our problems. We had a very poor experience and I would not recommend this to anyone.

   When I was booking this, it said the steakhouse at the Inn at Paso Robles. It was a prefix and it was at a time slot only one available, which was fine. I get there. I am not in the steakhouse. I am out in another building. It’s a buffet. It was very disappointing And the service wasn’t that great. The food was cold. I had to call someone who was quite nice, but although the food was good, it was cold even when they restarted the heaters on the sterno buffet servers, but nonetheless, it was the idea of me signing up, thinking I was going to the steakhouse And then I’m taking out a back door to go to another building to a buffet never do that again

    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.
