Andy Benavidez I looked for a Michelin star restaurant in Paso Robles to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I stumbled across The Restaurant at Justin, read the various reviews and made our reservations.
It does require a $100 deposit per person that is refunded on arrival.
From the moment we arrived we were greeted and treated with fantastic hospitality.
We had opted for the Chef’s Choice and wine pairing and were delighted with every single course. I had wished I had taken photos of every course but was initially concerned with not showing class. After a certain point, I no longer cared. The food appearance and taste were just too fantastic to care.
I had taken my wife to a Michelin star restaurant in Italy when we first started dating in Italy 30 years ago. We were eager to experience the same service and culinary quality. We were not disappointed.
As we decided with the Chef’s menu, it was a set meal with wine pairing.
Each course that arrived looked like a piece of artwork. The wine pairing was excellent, my only recommendation would be to advise the patron that one glass would be paired with one or two courses. As there wasn’t a pour per each course, and you were required to gauge what wine was for what courses.
The views were also fantastic as the restaurant was nestled in rolling hills of the vineyard and reminded me of Northern Italy.
Book in advance and enjoy the best of Paso Robles.
