We heard questionable things about service and portion size
We heard questionable things about service and portion size so we were a little nervous going in, but it was an amazing experience. It says it's four courses, but with all of the little treats, apps, extra dessert, palate cleansers etc, it's more like twelve. Each course was delicious and unique - the truffle milkshake absolutely blew my mind. The service was also excellent - we had great rapport with our server, and everyone from the sommelier to the busing staff were incredible polite and helpful. Overall, a remarkable experience! (If you do the wine pairing, you either need a designated driver or a car service - do NOT risk those roads after drinking.)

There is no value in the $225 meal . We had a most unsatisfying meal here - no flavor or service!. I strongly recommend you not go by this Michelin rating ! I had gone to many Michelin star restaurants- so we know what great service and food quality is btw!! The portion sizes at Justin are suitable for anorexic 5 year kids . We suffered from the worst side effect from any dinner -- pangs of hunger ! Avoid this place like the Covid virus !! Don't say I didn't warn you !
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely fantastic dinner.
Every single person we interacted with from the bar tender to the receptionist was well versed beyond their scope. The service was warm and unpretentious. The food was exceptional. They walked us from our car to the restaurant with an umbrella as there was a drizzle on arrival. The chef even came out on request to have a chat as my first Michelin meal was over a decade ago where she started her career which gave me the fuzzies. All in all 11/10. Can't wait to be back!
Be the first to ReplyI couldn't have better things to say about our experience
I couldn't have better things to say about our experience at The Restaurant at JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery. While we weren't able to do a tasting during the day and explore the grounds, our dinner experience was top notch. The Restaurant at JUSTIN was recently recommended by the Michelin's Guide as one of the must visit places in California. They offer a pre-fixed 5-course farm-to-table dinner with optional wine pairings and 2 additional supplemental courses. When you get to the grounds, you are personally welcomed by the valet and hostess, who greets you by name. The Restaurant itself is dimly lit, mostly by candlelight, with a view of the entire vineyard grounds, making for an intimate and romantic ambiance. Each course is thoughtfully presented and explained by your server and if you're lucky, the Chef himself. The whole dinner is a 2.5hr experience and reservations are a must. I'd recommend opting for an earlier reservation so you can go around sunset, while there's still light out - especially since the trek out to the Vineyard itself is a long and dark one. Also, there's absolutely no cell service venturing out that far so make sure to download directions or schedule your car service in advance to avoid getting stranded. Price Point: $$$$

We were greeted at the door and poured a glass of wine and while our table was prepared we took a stroll around the beautiful grounds. It was breathtaking. Once our table was ready, we were escorted around the property to our table inside looking out on the garden and vineyards. Service was impeccable, not stuffy, but prompt and enjoyable. Each course outdid the previous one. Most restaurants of this sort practice "pretty food'. The food at Justin's was not only pretty and creative but the combination of interesting and sometimes unusual ingredients, mostly from their own garden, was brilliant. In fact, we've ordered citrus caviar to arrive at our home when we get home since we loved it so much, and had not previously even heard of it. We've done many food pairings at world class Michelin restaurants. I can easily say that this one was the most enjoyable, most ingenious, and a perfect evening all around. Well done.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic experience at Justin.
This is the second time we've been to the restaurant once during the pandemic and again this last summer with family. The food is amazing. Elias is stellar and the wine is the whole reason we showed up in the first place. You can't go wrong during a stay in Paso Robles.
Be the first to ReplyMust make reservations.
It is 25-30 minutes from downtown Paso Robles. And it is a very dark and windy road most of the way. When confirming the reservation, they even told us that people who are sensitive get motion sickness. You can stay at the property but it's a bit far from everything else. We had 8:30 reservations so by the time we got there it was dark. Hopefully next time we can see the beautiful property of the sunset. The hostess is outside to greet you and pour you a glass while you wait for your table. We got the 2 add ons and shared them. Nice that you don't have to both get the add ones if you just want to try it. We even had a takeaway bottle of water and a lemon balm salt they used on the fish. Always love a little gift to take home. Everything was wonderful. And service was great. Signed up for the wine club and dinner was discounted. Where can you get a discount on a Michelin star restaurant. We will be back, just don't know when.
Be the first to ReplyBest meal and service I've ever had.
We had the four course dinner - chef's choice. The flavours, ingredients and presentation were superb!
Be the first to ReplyThe service was good and venue was beautiful, but the $225
The service was good and venue was beautiful, but the $225 Prix-fixe dinner and $110 wine pairing was ok. Make sure you had a big lunch or come with full stomach, because there is only 4 courses and portions are tiny. I've been to several Michelin star restaurants, usually when there are 3 or 4 courses, they usually provide more portion. The one main course was a tiny slice of steak (literally two bites) The worst part was the wine pairing, each pairing was less than a tasting. Combine all 4 tiny pairing of wine will not even make a glass of wine. For a winery, not sure why they were so cheap with the pour. It was two or three sips per pairing for over $100, so underwhelming as I really wanted to enjoy the wine pairing with food. It was better to order a S20 glass of wine. I would visit the vineyards again as it was beautiful and staff was great, but will not come back here for dinner.

THEY EMPLOY HOSTILE EMPLOYEES WHO SPEW H0M0PH0BIC SLURS while BATING PATRONS INTO LEAVING (which we absolutely did). BACKGROUND: Below is a review based upon an experience we had on Saturday, 10/29/2022. We booked the reservation weeks & weeks & weeks ago. We even paid for the 'reservation charge' requesting several accommodations: sit inside (no patio seating), & a quiet corner table. Here's what happened next (MANY RED FLAGS):---- We had reserved a driver (we were going to be drinking so it's a responsible thing to do) so I called Justin around 2:00ish to inquire as to what they had for food to buy for our driver. JUSTIN is in the middle of nowhere (aka BFE) so we didn't want our driver heading into Paso Robles to find food given our event was from 6:30 until 10:00PM. The convo on the telephone was chaotic (many on-holds) but the employee was accommodating enough to reserve a charcuterie board for $55 for us.---- We arrive only to experience a male employee in the front of white building to treat us in a nonchalant manner (aka not interested). Mind you, there's online reviews where patrons would be served some rose wine upon arriving. We were not offered such. (I'm actually surprised he wasn't manicuring his nails like a 'Revenge Secretary' scene in an unnamed Hollywood flick.) Strange behavior. ----We were told NOT TO go through the front doors, but a side door because "[We] still had 13 minutes before reservation." Shocking way to greet guests. Nobody opened the doors. No manners. Nothing. So, with time to burn, we walked into the tasting bar area to confirm that our driver would be served the charcuterie board. We waited and waited, but no response whether it had been furnished to him so I went outside (east side of building) only to find our driver had been served the $55 charcuterie board haphazardly in two "to go" boxes. No board presentation. No plate. And, literally, half of the charcuterie board was missing. He had also not been given water. Just basic water. I then walked out front to ask the 'ghost quitting' male host employee for water. As I'm waiting, I tell my spouse that 'Tony' was served the food, but it was done so poorly that I could have stopped by any hamburger establishment for their most expensive food items and received it in better condition than what JUSTIN served. The Restaurant at JUSTIN didn't even tell us our driver was given food that we ordered & charged for. ---- Dinner Reservation Time: We were taken in through the back of the establishment and the hostess tried to sit us outside (where it was freezing in late October), then when I said, "No, we wanted inside." She immediately tried to seat us in the middle of the room. I said, "May we please be seated in the corner where we requested weeks ago?" She looked shocked and muttered something saying, "Go ahead." Then, we sat patiently waiting while we watched another table being attended to. They were seated 5-10 minutes after us. Table was immediately served wine, water, and had 2-3 employees helping them. -- -- Oh boy, shortly afterwards, the real ugliness happened. Oh. My. God. The male employee "Ben" came to our table with a splash of rose wine. He started out with, "Do you have any food preferences or restrictions?" We said, as reiterated for days/weeks (through communication), that we did not. I also mentioned I didn't appreciate our driver being treated less than relating to the food (aka a dog). Then, my spouse, someone who oversees over 150+ employees for two (2) major healthcare facilities and many outpatient clinics spanning two (2) Central Coast counties, said, "Oh, yes, we do. What notes do you have on us?" "Ben" started to get frustrated. Fumbling through his apron. I immediately said, "This isn't going well so I'm leaving!" We both got up. My spouse walked through the sliding glass doors with "Ben" only to be told by "Ben" that "[he was] intentionally getting [us] to leave" and spewing a homophobic slur that my spouse was a "f&ggot...and could leave." ---- UPDATE from my original Yelp Review post on "Justin Vineyards & Winery" Yelp account: After my original Yelp review was posted, I found out that my VERY CALM spouse was threatened with physical harm by "Ben" as he was exiting the JUSTIN establishment. "Ben" had picked up a glass bottle by the tasting room counter acting like he was going to strike him with it. JFC! Unprovoked violence is beyond any/all acceptable behavior by any employee towards a patron. "Ben" is an unhinged person employed by JUSTIN. SUMMARY: What a shameful, awful experience. I can't imagine what these harassing individuals like "Ben" do to a young, not confident, quiet co-worker(s) if he/they do such blatant unprofessional, aggressive behavior towards patrons. Something is toxic with JUSTIN and it probably needs addressed before they are liable for allowing a toxic environment to exist/manifest.
Be the first to ReplyThis was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever
This was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had. My girlfriends brought me here to celebrate my 40th as I love the wines and requested this restaurant. On the phone no one mentioned we needed to arrange a ride back. While in the Uber the driver let us know that because it's so far out, it's hard for people to find a ride back. When we arrived we asked about it and the ballet was kind enough to tell us he wouldn't leave us stranded, but obviously we felt bad to have to impose. We were sat outside even though we during the reservation we requested inside as one of our guest has a heat intolerance. There was room inside, but as our friend became over heated we again requested a move inside to accommodate her condition and they said they couldn't. After an hour and her having to step inside to avoid passing out again I mentioned how we were all health professionals and had requested inside. Finally, they accommodated us. I had to remind them to bring one of the bottles a member of our group had ordered 30 mins prior as I had received mine quickly. One of our members received a cold steak and she didn't want to speak up because of the overall situation. You could tell the staff were annoyed with us and it should never have had to be that way. We went there to celebrate, we were excited and not mentioned we were paying for a particular ambiance that was never met. I was disappointed with a brand I thought I loved.
Be the first to ReplyWow, what an experience.
Dined here for my anniversary dinner and Chef Rachel did not disappoint. Bonnie and Ben took wonderful care of us.
Be the first to ReplyAMAZING! I stayed at Justin recently for an anniversary
AMAZING! I stayed at Justin recently for an anniversary celebration and had a few meals at the restaurant. While everything was incredible, my favorite meal was definitely the dinner experience. Location: The vineyard is 25 minutes from downtown Paso and up a somewhat windy road. It's tucked away and wonderfully secluded. Service: The concierge and service was so attentive - Brian and Amanda specifically made us feel so welcome and were accommodating to our every need. As soon as we arrived for our reservation we were greeted with a glass of rosé that we sipped on while we waited to be seated. Food: Mind blowing! There were four primary courses and a few additional courses (bread/amuse bouche/palate cleanser/chocolate). The whole menu was so well put together and you will 1000% leave full and raving about how well the flavors marry. Price: 200 per person prix fixe with an additional 90 per person for wine pairing. Pricey but the food was 100% worth it. Ambiance: There are lovely views of the vineyard from the restaurant - highly suggest an earlier reservation (maybe 6/6:30), so you can see the sun set over the hill.
Be the first to ReplyIf you're doing Estate Tasting & Lunch in a group of 7 or
If you're doing Estate Tasting & Lunch in a group of 7 or more, would recommend splitting yourself into smaller groups as there will otherwise be a $60/person tasting fee on top of the flight you're paying for. (Source: We had a group of 15, we were careful in dividing up.) Also, if you're purchasing wine after eating/tasting, be aware that your wine purchase and food (whatever you end up ordering for lunch, dessert, and/or an add-on) purchase will be calculated into one bill, ESPECIALLY if you're buying a lot of wine. The tip is calculated from the cumulative bill, and people tend to click through without thinking (payment done through iPad). We specifically requested two separate bills for the meal and our wine purchase, but others who made substantial wine purchases were a bit less careful and ended up paying tips that were two to four times bigger than their food bill.Finally, not sure if this is given to everyone, but they offered our various groups were given the option to waive one person's tasting if we made a wine purchase of $100 or more.They have a number of tasting experiences (most of them for members only) and we made the reservations online. My understanding is that they're not doing walk-ins right now and bottle service (buying wine, then drinking it there) is for their club members only. They have their own lot, so plenty of parking (including a Tesla charger). Drive is pretty windy though, but very pretty. If you don't have the time to go up there, there's also the JUSTIN Downtown Tasting Room in downtown Paso Robles, which has a very nice patio facing out into the Downtown City Park.Food and the menu are seasonal, fresh, and tend to be local products. They have their own little herb garden. Portions were much larger than we thought they would and were very salty, rich, and filling to go with the wine. The pasta especially so. XD Would highly recommend the artisanal cheese plate as it includes a lot of local sheep cheese I thought was great. Thank you to our waitress/wine stewardess as she was super thorough in explaining every little detail and accommodating. We got the Estate Tasting Flight rather than the Premium one, but she was still willing to let us taste some of the Premium wines. I think nearly everyone ended up getting the 2018 ISOSCELES and 2017 ISOSCELES Reserve.Overall, a really good place to have a wine tasting and food. I appreciate places that have more than little things to go with alcohol, and you are able to have actual meals here. Lovely place, too. I can imagine the building and décor are lovely at night for dinner, but I think the main point is to enjoy the actual vineyard, trails, garden, and such so the lunch tastings are probably for the best.
Be the first to ReplyThis review is based on our GROUP experience.
We had reservations for 4 couples and were required to put the entire meal and drinks on ONE CREDIT card. Considering the price of their wine and food, this was very inconvenient.The restaurant does not allow the waitress to:1. split the bill by what each couple ordered2. split the bill evenly between the 4 couples3. show the bill details before collecting a credit card for paymentThis is simply ridiculous & they should invest in a new POS system ASAP.
Be the first to ReplyWe made a reservation for a Sunday afternoon lunch to start
We made a reservation for a Sunday afternoon lunch to start at 2:30 since the drive down would be about 3.5 hours. That appeared to be fine except no one told us the kitchen would close at 3pm until our server mentioned it as we were exploring the menu and the wine list. Really? If you are going to close at 3, why take a reservation at 2:30? We were rushed into making choices, which turned out to be good ones fortunately.Two of us had the cheeseburger and it was indeed excellent as were the fries. The chicken pot pie was delicious - beautifully seasoned with rosemary, etc.. We asked for the reserve flight rather than the standard one and we were suprised we were charged $80 pp. We were going to be staying for two nights at the Inn and the standard $40 flight was free if you stay there, so shouldn't the reserve tasting be discounted as well? Regardless, the wines were excellent and we ended up buying quite a lot to ship home.The waitress told us that we had to get our dessert order in quickly so we did, only to hear that the kitchen had closed and she didn't "dare" venture in to get us a dessert. Again, really?We also quickly ordered some appetizers to take back to the suite since the kitchen was closing and we'd have no food for dinner. As it turned out, we threw them out (the flatbread was soaked with oil). Very disappointing.The terrace was cool but the heaters worked well and the view was very nice. We had lunch here many years ago and had wonderful memories of that, but this time was not as memorable.

We had a really fun day date here! It's a gorgeous property with fantastic wine. This board was so filling that we didn't even want to eat the salad we had also ordered. We did the standard flight which was perfect. They weren't generous pours but good enough to get a taste of each kind. I will definitely go back.
Be the first to ReplyI'm sure the food and service are top notch.
We were told that they did not have roomand could not provide food. But I think we did not appear privileged enough- the restaurant was completely empty and stayed that way for at least 45 minutes. They were serving lunch. Then an older couple came, without reservations, and were seated immediately. Disappointed and angry at the arrogance.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth the hype.
We visited the restaurant and tried the premium flight ($80pp), but mainly to have lunch and try the burger that everyone was raving about. We ordered the burger and salad to share, and were underwhelmed. The burger wasn't anything special and the salad was also so-so. Just FYI, they charge $5 to split the burger. The views were just okay also, nothing special to us, but then again we went here after visiting Daou, so we might've have high expectations.
Be the first to ReplyReally enjoyed our lunch at Justin this afternoon.
We didn't have any reservations but decided to give it a try since we were driving right by it. And sure enough the manager was able to sit us right away. My husband and I had a wonderful lunch here with a bottle of their cold Rose. We ordered burgers and fries which out waiter told us was very popular and the most ordered item on the menu. He was right , the burger was probably one of the best I ever had at a restaurant. I'm not much of a burger fan but I absolutely enjoyed this one today. The ground are so beautiful, hills of vines all around the property. Doesn't matter where you are seated you can enjoy the beauty all around. There is a chefs garden in the back of the property with a lot of herbs and vegetable and edible flowers. Absolutely loved walking around and admiring it. I highly recommend visiting Justin on your trip to Paso Robles. Make sure to make reservations at least two weeks ahead of time.
Be the first to ReplyJustin is a bit far out so be mindful if you have a few
Justin is a bit far out so be mindful if you have a few glasses of their delicious wine and you are driving back. The location is gorgeous and the building is in an elegant farmhouse style. We tried a couple of their wines which matched the hype and also did the pre-fixe meal. The food was good but nothing memorable.
Be the first to ReplyAs always Justin can't disappoint.
The service, food and live music on Zin weekend was amazing. Tried new items from the menu. Terri our server was cheerful and made the experience delightful.
Be the first to ReplyBreathtaking.
I recently visited the Paso Robles area with a group of friends in tow after being told it give Napa/Sonoma County a serious run for their money and The Restaurant at JUSTIN Vineyards is the case in point. This piece of land has comparable beauty to the Hess Estate or Mondavi in Sonoma County. Sheer class. The Restaurant is located in the midst of a rolling vineyard and has a wonderful design aesthetic that somehow marries a classic farmhouse to a modern wine tasting room without feeling awkward or clumsy. Be sure to get a reservation so you can take in the opulent views al fresco while enjoying their top-of-the-game Wine Tasting and a Charcuterie Board. I mean, is there any other way to do it? If you purchase over $100.00 in Wine to go, the Wine Tasting fee is waived (normally $40.00) and we both know you are going to want at last two bottles of Isosceles to take home and impress friend and loved ones with. It is easily one of the greatest red blends I have ever sampled. It is a work of art. My group took in seemingly endless Wine Tasting while in Paso but Justin was far and away the most impressive in every aspect plus the drive to the Vineyard became just as much as part of the overall experience as anything. Highly recommended bucket list material.
