Thomas Hill Organics Bistro & Wine Bar

We had the beet salad , stone fruit pecan salad , Cuban sandwich and the taco and shrimp salad. They were all excellent.

Surprisingly disappointing. The food was all cold or luke warm, even after sending it back (bread pudding) Flavorless, lacking soul and expertise. Salmon was overcooked, bread pudding was cold. And then two of us got sick later that night. The restaurant was nearly empty for a 730pm reservation. I see why.

Delightful restaurant with enticing menu full of delectable treats. Perfect for family gatherings and first dates, as there is a circuit breaker box in the bathroom which can be used to facilitate quick escapes. Food 5/5, Atmosphere 5/5, Service 6/5 for thoughtful placement of electrical infrastructure.

We visit this place most every time we visit paso. It's still great but we were surprised by the prices, which are now higher than what we'd pay for similar quality in the CA Bay area.

We were seated at the bar since we didn't have reservations on a Friday but the staff and the bartender in particular did provide excellent service.

Thomas Hill Organics Paso Robles, a bistro and wine bar, offers a rotating menu showcasing locally grown, farm-fresh ingredients paired with regional wines. Making a dinner reservation is easy and highly recommended through the Yelp reservation system used for online orders before visiting this fine downtown establishment. This bistro is very popular on Friday and Saturday nights, so making a dinner reservation is highly recommended to avoid a long wait and secure a good table. Their website, ironically, omits their fantastic wine menu. Unable to view their online wine list when making a reservation, I opted to bring my own bottle of wine for a $25 corkage fee, Barton 2021 Moondance. Their wine menu, which I viewed at my table, featured excellent estate wines. Niner, Hearst, Austin Hope, and Barton Family wines were among the many wines featured on the menu. To start, I enjoyed my Barton’s wine with Crab Cakes and a citrus dressing. Herb & cheese biscuits, as a side order, were unavailable after 7PM. Be at the restaurant by 5PM to try their incredible herb & cheese biscuits. Instead, my choice was their various breads and lovely olive oils. Crab cakes and wine were enhanced by the bread and olive oil. Next, I focused on a traditional Mexican dinner dish known as Chile Nogada. This incredible meal and wine pairing exceeded my expectations. Poblano peppers filled with picadillo (peppers, onions, olives, pears, and raisins), topped with nogada sauce (walnut cream), steak and shrimp, make up this dish. The food and wine were divine, and Allie, my wonderful server, along with the other guests, hostess, bartenders, and chefs, made me feel incredibly welcome throughout my entire meal. Thank you team!

We heard such good things about the restaurant, we were excited to try it out. Sadly our evening fell flat.
To state the good, the outdoor back patio is cozy and heated and the food WAS great. The tomato soup of the day, the crab cakes (two large ones), and the chicken dish (farro, mushroom jus, and kale) were spot on. And I never order chicken out so that’s saying a lot.
HOWEVER, thing after thing came up throughout the night and just tainted the overall meal.
- The service: for the duration of our meal our finished wine glasses and empty beer bottle were left on the table.
- Attention to detail: we were celebrating a birthday and saw other tables with candles, etc. yet when our dessert came, nothing (and we were greeted with a ‘happy birthday’ so they were aware)
- Other upset customers: one couple just got up and left because “they had sat down for 20 minutes and no one approached them”. Another requested something from the kitchen and instead of saying it wasn’t something they had or did, they just kept them waiting.
While the food was good, everything else wasn’t worth the hassle. Paso has TONS of other places that will knock your socks off.

I highly recommend Thomas Hill Organics! The decor strikes a perfect balance between elegance and warmth, creating a delightful atmosphere.
Our waiter, Jack, provided exceptional service—his attention to our enjoyment made us feel like his top priority. He offered great suggestions and anticipated our every need.
For appetizers, we started with the beet salad with goat cheese, which was beautifully presented and had a deliciously balanced flavor—not too sweet but satisfying. The Kale Caesar salad was another excellent choice, generously portioned for sharing and a perfect start to our meal.
For my entrée, I enjoyed the blackened salmon, served over creamy grits with tender, mildly flavored braised greens. Every element was cooked to perfection and complemented each other wonderfully. I also sampled the rib chop, and it was truly the best I’ve ever had—smoky, unbelievably tender, and bursting with flavor.
We left feeling well taken care of and completely satisfied. Visiting Thomas Hill was my idea, and my friends were more than happy to express their appreciation for the fantastic recommendation!

45 minute wait for our food and there was only 1 other table (party of 2) on the patio. Mostly decent food but not worth the wait or price.
