Stokehouse Grill — Restaurant in Paso Robles

Servers are terrible. Inattentive. Dont refill drinks. Dont clear dirty dishes. They just walk by. They literally did their side work and bussed dirty tables the entire time we were there ahead of checking on us to see if we needed any dishes cleared or refills. The restaurant was over half empty. We had a Party over six which meant that we had to pay a 20% mandatory gratuity. It’s like the servers knew they were getting their 20% and didn’t even try. Forcing customers to pay 20% gratuity is a bold move if you’re hiring terrible servers. The servers deserved 5% if that. Our server buffed silverware and glasses and stared at our dirty table with empty drinks and dirty dishes. They also expedited a four top that came in 30 minutes after us. The four top ended up getting their food and finishing before we were served ours. Our meal took over an hour to be served. Please hire...

Surf & Turf – Perfectly cooked filet topped with a rich mushroom sauce, paired with creamy mashed potatoes, tender asparagus, and a decadent lobster tail with a savory cream sauce. Every bite was delicious and well-balanced.

🍝 Seafood Pasta – Generous portions of scallops, salmon, mussels, and clams tossed with linguine in a light cream sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan. The seafood was fresh and the flavors blended perfectly.

🌮 House Special Empanada– Crispy, cheesy, and topped with fresh salsa verde, crema, and queso fresco, served alongside lettuce and cherry tomatoes. A delightful surprise on the menu that didn’t disappoint.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a place that delivers both quality...

Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner without reservations. The restaurant was very busy but we only had to wait about 20 minutes. The staff was very courteous and ensured we got seated as soon as possible.

The food was delicious. We had the Chef's soup of the day which was Butternut squash with corn, Fried Calamari, Roasted Chicken Picatta, Ciopinno, and Pan Seared Salmon. The Butternut Squash soup was thick and very tasty. The Calamari came with Aioli and Sweet Thai Chili sauces. I thought it had a bit more batter than I am used to. The Chicken Picatta was very good. The chicken breast was cooked just right - juicy and tender. Ciopinno had a bit of spice to it. Not too spicy but if you are not used to spice, you may want to avoid it. Salmon was delicious as well. Our server, Jessica was very helpful...
