Paseo: A California Bistro

Very, very good experience. A little bit on the pricier side but overall worth going to. Beautiful outside seating, fast service, and amazingly delicious locally sourced food. You can practically taste each ingredient used in their dishes! Will be coming back for sure.

Company event, food was a little salty. Service was a little slow but very good service. Very nice and romantic place.

My husband and I had dinner at Paseo with another couple. We shared oysters Rockefeller and beef tartare. We each ordered different entrees and everything was delicious. Wine recommendations were perfect. The service was excellent and Kevin, the manager, went above and beyond to make us feel special and important. Would highly recommend Paseo for a great dining experience.

We had a wonderful time at Paseo last night. I must say that it is one of the best meals that I have had in Marin County. Fine dining and excellent gourmet food. We both had the seared scallops on a bed of truffle risotto. I want to mention Kevin, the General Manager and Rinah, our server, who both went above and beyond to make this a really special evening for us. The dessert was so darn good that I had to take a pic after I had taken two bites.

My friends and I came here on a Sunday afternoon, after lunch hour. Every dish we had was delicious. The server was gracious and friendly.

I went with my girlfriends and a dog and we sat on the outdoor patio. The staff is fantastic. They brought a dog bed for my friends boxer! Food and drinks are phenomenal.

This is such a great spot and beautiful restaurant in a special downtown location and now I’ve been there recently with the new owners and they have this amazing hamburger that they supply not only on their main menu but also in their happy hour menu. So happy hour is Tuesday through Sunday 4 PM to 6 PM it’s And Ann amazing time to go and try out some of their food and cocktails! $10 martinis you can’t beat that anywhere! A fantastic Wagyu beef burger for $19 it’s a Steal! Craft draft beers for seven dollars, amazing! A very tasty tuna to tar with chips for $25. Anyway come in and and give it a try and get a cocktail you might end up staying in for dinner. They have outdoor limited outdoor eating spaces but the inside is quite charming great place to take a date and enjoy it an evening out. Come during the week or it’s quiet and you’ll get great attention from the servers.

Best eggs Benedict I've ever had and I am very particular about eggs Benedict. Service was excellent. Dined inside and the party next to us was feeling their mimosas and was exceptionally loud. Nice atmosphere but the environment as attributed to how loud it was it. The menu is very limited but everyone loved what they had so I would rather have a restaurant do a few dishes well, than many mediocre dishes (also makes ordering easy!). Great location in the middle of Mill valley.

Nice cocktails and steak. Great squid ink linguine with clams, mussels and crab.

My wife and I had reserved a table for 4 on this particular night to impress a business couple to show our appreciation to them for helping us out in this historic restaurant, mind you, we’ve never dined here before. We were all impressed! We’re casual people and dress casually but this night we all dress up a bit. The setting of the restaurant was welcoming. All the staffs were friendly. We were all curious how the food tasted what the others had and ended up sharing portions amongst ourselves. Paseo burgers, ribeye steak, halibut, and duck breast was the main dish ordered on our table. They were all fantastic! Baked oysters on the starter menus just melted in your mouth! House red wine went down smoothly. Everything went well that night. If you want to impress a friend, family, business acquaintances, etc. , this is the place. I don’t usually write a review of a business establishment as I’m not a critic, but the fact that we all enjoyed the foods and drinks that particular night with the other couple made this a memorable night.

We ate dinner here at the end of our trip to California. Dinner was amazing - try the Gnudi!! - but it was the service that blew me away. Myah was an amazing waitress. It was a joy to chat with her and learn more about California. Kevin was amazing as well. It was so cool to meet someone on the west coast who had spent time in ME. He also made us some AMAZING nightcaps! We will definitely come back to see them next time we are in CA.

We had a very nice dinner at Paseo last night, Squid Ink Linguine, Pork Chop, Black Cod were very good and all the staff were friendly. We all enjoyed the foods and drinks. We would recommend.

We thought it was great! I had cod with spinach and my wife had sqid ink pasta with crab. We also had warm pork salad and wheat French bread. Like I said it’s a real good place

Lovely service, Manny was great to talk to and helped us order all the best items on the menu. The outdoor space is a great place to spend your evening, feels like youre in another country.

El Paseo’s Great Weekend Brunch

My wife and I had our second brunch on El Paseo’s lovely patio. We had the huevos rancheros and the sausage omelet. Both delicious. Good coffee, too. The food is excellent. The ambiance is lovely. The staff is perfect. All the staff was masked appropriately—even outdoors. But, we were the only ones eating at the restaurant (10:00am Sunday)! A year from now we’ll probably have to wait in line to eat here. So now’s a great time to experience this. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal! Wonderful service. Such great cocktails and all food was excellent. I love the creative menu and lovely setting. Looking forward to going again.

Love this place. Doesn’t get better than their burger and martini at the bar.

Went here for brunch on Saturday and had a wonderful time. Maureen and her team ran a great service. Food was delicious and cinnamon rolls were fresh right when we got in. I plan to visit again anytime we're in the area

The food was phenomenal! Perfect proportion sizes and delicious flavor. A great spot for a cozy date night or celebratory dinner! My husband had the Dungeness crab and I had the cod and both were tasty!

My girlfriend took me for my long awaited b-day present for an early Sunday dinner. The dining experience was exceptional. Sammy has assembled a terrific and attentive staff full of smiles and knowledge. We started off with drinks in the bar. I had the Rumarita and my girl had Sammy's kick ass Margarita made to perfection from our bartender. We accompanied the cocktails with fresh deviled eggs, almonds and olives all for a whopping $1 each! (the snacks)
After a relaxing pre-dinner I had a hard time choosing but I went with my first inclination - the double pork chop with Pt. Reyes Blue cheese and Fuyu Persimmon. Let's just say it was an adventure of the taste buds along the lines of Sammy's first song, "Rock Candy." No two bites were the same and it was perfectly paired with the suggested Lioco Pinot Noir. Now, the two best pork chops I've ever had are at El Paseo and Flora Farms in San Jose Del Cabo. My girlfriend had the Mushroom Risotto (which of course I tasted more than once) and it was perfectly cooked in the right amount of seasonings and mushroom combination.

We finished with the chocolate moose which was from another planet decadent... probably from "Space Station #5". We paired that with the Sauv blanc desert wine which complimented midday fine.

The only thing we were wondering when we left was when we were coming back. See you all soon. You were all fantastic!
