Harissa Cauliflower Steak with smoked olive, toasted sunflower, coriander gremolata and torn herbs;
Freedom Run Farm Lamb Burger & Potato Wedges with Mahón, Harissa onion jam and Berbère aioli;

    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.

    Food and service and ambience were top notch. Our waitress greeted us and was very friendly and attentive to our large group. Unfortunately, the wood fired oven makes the restaurant smell like a campfire and left everyone in our group also smelling like a campfire. Better ventilation needed in the restaurant to have a subtle smell of wood smoke but not the overwhelming smell we experienced last night.
