Made a reservation for 630, they sat us down at our table, which was nice. Host came by and asked if we’d like to order anything, we ordered two glasses of cava. We also asked for the small bread pizza with meats to start. She came back with our cava. One of the waiters brought the pizza. We waited , and waited at least 20 minutes before some one to take or order for completion of the dinner. We ordered the shrimp, temenadas, and meatballs. The shrimp were under cooked, but edible, the meatballs tasted stale, the temenadas were fabulous!!. Sat and waited for someone to bring my bill, the waiter came by, said he would get it. Never came back with the bill. I had to get up go to the bar and wait for someone to see me …finally they did. Edwena Just

We had the jambon flatbread to start and it was super! We would have ordered a second one but our paella arrived within minutes of finishing our flatbread. The paella was delicious and enough for 2 hungry adults.

We enjoyed the Empanadas. The flavor of Manchego cheese was almost missing in the Pisto Manchego meal. The Filete de Percha meal was excellent. We ate outside as it was only 79-80 degrees.

What a pleasant experience. One of the cleanest restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. Ran by a husband and wife who were very attentive and provided excellent customer service. You can taste the amount of love and passion that went into the food. Everything tasted homemade with amazing flavors and generous portions. Will definitely make a stop again when passing through or visiting the Paso Robles area.

The food was better than the service but still not fantastic for the price. The folks who work there are friendly but the service is disorganized (getting food you didn’t order, having to ask multiple times for things such as water before you receive it, etc.). Maybe it was an off night for them given the reviews are generally positive for this place. Their lamb was pretty good as was a salad we ordered. The rest of the small plates including the empanadas were alright. The pepper rellenos dish didn’t hit the spot for me. Wine and red sangria we ordered was good.

Every restaurant handles a large party differently. We had a large party of 15 where we pre-ordered and pre-paid 25% of food cost. Nick was very patient with my group as we had several changes to add and remove people and also change dishes around. It was an excellent experience working with him to manage the reservation. We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious! Every dish was made well and a very reasonable amount of food. Most of our party will be back at Junction in a future trip.

Food was extremely overpriced for portion sizes. Food was just OK. Disappointing paella. Left hungry and like I got robbed. Also had to specifically request ice.

Sorry about the ice, as you remember we were in a heat wave and our condenser broke, so Ice was a precious commodity.

We love this restaurant. Our first visit there was fun and delicious. We tried so many things but especially loved the pequillo pepper dish and the paella which had a yummy crust of rice on the bottom. This most recent visit was also very good...great service, nice people, other restaurant visitors made happy noise and we love that. Our only issue this trip, and maybe because it was crowded they rushed it, was that our paella did not have any crunch to the rice, one of the reason for loving paella. We did not mention it because they were very busy and we probably should have. Certainly won't keep us away though as we are going there next week for a birthday celebration. Definitely give this place a try.
