The Black Cat Bistro Too- Paso Robles

Excellent food and service. Love the interior decorations modern, eclectic hanging lights and wood panels. Manager were very helpful to make wine pairing recommendations and staff were all very attentive and accommodating.

We dined at The Black Cat Bistro for our anniversary. Before making the reservation I looked up the restaurant and it had good reviews. The food was prepared great, hubby had flat iron and I had duck breast. The food seemed like it was pre-cooked. It came out quickly after we ordered and was cooked well, it was kind of blah. Technically speaking it was cooked well, we were underwhelmed with the experience. Service was great. The entire experience was over quickly and it wouldn’t be a place I would tell other people to go to. I would have preferred to go to one of the other restaurants we dined at on our trip. There is nothing negative to say about this restaurant other than, it wasn’t amazing!

Nice place in downtown Paso. Always liked their Cambria location, too.

DO NOT EAT HERE. I should have known that when I saw it was the only restaurant with available reservations last Saturday night. It was empty when myself and friends arrived. The waitress was in jeans, a hoody and unmasked. She looked like she could care less. Sad little wine selection, and no full bar. Fried olives were martini olives breaded and warmed up. Mushroom app was literally the mushrooms used in the marsala dish, room temp, in a soup bowl. Rib eye had been marked on the grill years ago and appeared to have finished cooking in a steam pan. Vegetable side was a bag of frozen veg, microwaved and dumped on a plate. Saddest meal I have had in a while- should have stayed home and ordered Taco Bell.

We sat outside which was nice. The inside is not my style but others may like too bright lighting etc. Food was fine nothing amazing.
