    Great vibe. Fun smoky energetic and chic. Service was great, food was common fare with an artistic twist. Only drawback is that you walk out smelling like a campfire…not necessarily a bad thing.

    Service was not great. Entrees came before salads and then had to be redelivered. Not very attentive until after that debacle. Food was deliscious!

    The food was lackluster and the service was not great. Waiter forget to turn in our food or diet. Waited to over an hour for food. Odd menu. No real theme

    From the atmosphere, to the service (Gracie was our server, she was great), to the food, we had an amazing experience. We had never been to Paseo. We have been trying new local restaurants every weekend for six months and this was our number one so far. We will be back and we will tell our friends.

    Reaaly good experience at Paseo for dinner last night. The octopus starter was delicious, generous, and well presented. My wife enjoyed the short ribs dish and I ate every last bit of the puttanesca with fire blackened shrimp (great sauce!). Our server was friendly and professional. This was our first visit. Based on our experience we recommend Paseo, and we’ll be back.
