Recommend this restaurant if you’re visiting Paso. A bit away from downtown, it got busy around 7pm. Great decor and ambiance, more locals than visitors. The food is creative and delicious. We had the duck wings to start and shared the 16oz ribeye - it was served with chimichurri sauce, the meat was cooked to perfection and very tender. We had a great evening and would definitely return!

I’ve been here for three large group celebrations, and I highly recommend. The food taste and quality is a pleasure for your mouth, and the service is exceptional. If you like to taste multiple plates with the family style dishes, this is the place for you.

Let’s start with the food — or rather, the complete lack of care that went into it. The menu is uninspired, the selections are few (and frequently unavailable), and what we did manage to order arrived cold and sloppily plated. There’s nothing even remotely memorable about the dishes except how forgettable they are.
But the real disaster? The service. Our server, Kelsey, was astonishingly rude — condescending, passive-aggressive, and seemingly allergic to basic hospitality. Every interaction felt like an inconvenience to her, complete with eye rolls and snide remarks. As for the manager, he spent the evening glued to his phone in the dining room, utterly oblivious to the chaos around him: slow service, unhappy guests, and filthy bathrooms.
It’s honestly baffling that this establishment made it anywhere near a Michelin list. Paso Robles has so many incredible restaurants — this isn’t one of them. Save your money, save your night, and go literally anywhere else.
The only reason this place got 2 stars was because the mescal cocktail was out of this world amazing!

Horrible service. They acted like we were bothering them. They were out of all the food we ordered. They are totally unresponsive to allergies. Literally do not care. They would say “we have a clean kitchen” but then also would say “but just so you know this food is in the Same area” The manager was super rude. We ended up leaving. If you have any food sensitivities do not go here.

My friend from Alpha Omega suggested this restaurant for some quick bites. He was spot on!! Had the duck wings, French fries, listened to old records on the turn table. Awesome!! Don’t miss.

We went here with our friends to celebrate a birthday. All the staff were great and even hand-wrote a birthday card. The food is simply amazing! The wedge salad was transcendent. Eating family style meant we all got to taste everything. Even simple things like bread starter were elevated by this crazy good carrot butter.

This restaurant is louder than standing next to a nuclear explosion.
The food was mostly tasty but no real vegetarian option. Although the restaurant claims that the menu is shareable the portions are small and they need to put a serving utensil in every dish. Our server was very knowledgeable about what was in the food and how it was prepared.

Were there for my wife's birthday for dinner. First thing the personnel did, they brought a birthday card with other person's name. Not a big deal at this point, 10 minutes later a waiter came to our table and apologized for the confusion. After that they did not bring any other card, or complimentary drink/ cake.
After that incident I decided not to leave them a tip and only pay for food as I was and still am convinced this type of behavior is at least disrespectful.
And then they charged me a 20+% tip!!!!
To sum up, completely terrible experience, definitely not a Michelin award level.
Even if you come there, check 3 times what they charge you and ask for receipt.

MEDIOCRE AT BEST We dined at In Bloom tonight and were thoroughly disappointed with the quality of their offerings. Honestly, I have no idea how they managed to secure a Bib Gourmand rating from Michelin—it completely baffles me.
We started with the $14 bread service, which was shockingly underwhelming. The bread wasn’t even made in-house; it’s purchased externally, and the crust was tough and overly chewy. To make matters worse, it was oversalted, and the carrot butter accompaniment was lackluster, to say the least. Paying $14 for a demi baguette felt absurd—especially when I can get a $4 baguette at my local market, slather it with butter, and end up with something four times better than what they served.
The beets appetizer ($15) featured braised golden beets, whipped avocado, macerated strawberries, and edible soil. Unfortunately, it was pedestrian at best, with flavors that didn’t meld together in any meaningful way.
Our next course was the Braised Beans ($17), described as containing chanterelle mushrooms, heirloom kale, kale pesto, and 12-month manchego cheese. It turned out to be a horrid concoction—a porridge-like mess of white beans and the other ingredients thrown together haphazardly. The dish felt amateurish and utterly failed to deliver on taste or texture.
To sum it up, we came in expecting a dining experience that lived up to its glowing reviews but instead were met with mediocrity at every turn. In Bloom simply does not live up to the hype. My recommendation is to stay far away. Get some pizza instead.
