I really enjoyed this place under the prior ownership and can safely say the new owners have done a great job! The interior and table setting redesign came out beautifully. Service was excellent. Our waitress was warm and attentive and the food came out at the perfect pace. The menu has been revamped in a way that will satisfy old patrons with all the staples while adding new value to those families with younger children. If you've been waiting to check this place out, don't hesitate.

Excellent service and ambiance with great front patio al fresco seating. The lamb chop lollipops were an excellent appetizer, and the fresh wild salmon was outstanding. Love the upgrades and the energy of the service team.

We have been to the Bistro many times with our good friends, this visit was the first with new owners (now called Paseo’s), currently outdoor dining only as they remodel the indoor area. Service was slow but the food was delicious when it arrived. They should remove the outdoor TV as it deters from the dining experience!

The food is excellent here. If you're with kids, order for them as soon as you arrive and they'll accommodate you. This is a great place if you're relaxed and have plenty of time, don't go if you're in a hurry as they get busy and overwhelmed. Go and soak up the atmosphere, be patient and the food is really delicious

Tried this convenient location based on reviewing the very comfortable varied food menu. We tried a variety starters and entrees. Service was efficient albeit still relatively new to the menu. The 6 of us enjoyed our meals. Would have liked to see a more varied desert menu, but understand that is being reviewed. Will definitely return.

I’ve been here twice in the past five days, that’s how good the food is. The new owner hasn’t missed a single detail, from the beautifully updated decor to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every staff member has been friendly and attentive, and the service both visits was excellent. I’m already planning to bring my adult son back on Friday. Rancho Santa Fe was overdue for a fresh, elevated dining spot, and Paseo delivers. The owner’s genuine warmth makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. Highly recommend.
