    Great food and service. Tables are next to each other, so we heard other table’s conversations and felt self conscious to have a conversation

    Il Cortile is one of Paso Robles gems. The food is always wonderful. Our server could have been a little more engaging, but covered all the bases.

    Five star food and service. I gave an overall review of 4 stars because of the wine price markup which is quite high.

    Service was slow. Had reserved an indoor table. Was told all was left were outdoor when there were at least 2 or 3 avaliable inside. Veal chop was very undercooked. Cocktails were half sized but full sized pricing. Eaten here many times in the past. This experience was not great.
