We made our lunch reservation with wine tasting for downtown Paso. Outdoor Covid lunch was a great treat for a Sunday afternoon. The meal and wine complimented each other to our delight. Our server, the wines and food was a wonderful finish to our Paso wine tasting weekend! Thank you JUSTIN
The chocolate tasting/pairing is amazing. Highly recommend!
Food and wine were great. Service very attentive.
Will go again!! Thank you George!! Everything was great!
They didn’t serve food when we went so that was disappointing. The reserve wines are always fantastic and our server was great!
They were very friendly at JUSTIN and paid attention to detail with us. They communicated the special characters of each wine and my partner and I enjoyed our time. The chef was not working today so unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy their food. But we did enjoy the charcuterie and crackers.
Great service, due to co-vid just not the same experience.
Since we are now having to enjoy some thngs outside, Justin did a fabulous job at the outdoor Wine tasting experience. Food was fabulous, the employees were friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome experience.
Friendly staff and outgoing
Too cold outside and noisy from the street.
Our server was amazing. I hope we get her again in the future
We got some shared plates and it was well presented and tasted great. Can't wait to go back and try more!
We only drank their wine flight (which was great) so this is not regards to the food, but the service was great and the outside seating was enjoyable and spread out.
We had a great wine and chocolate tasting experience. We look forward to doing it again very soon.
Highly recommend! Friendly and fun! Outdoor dining felt safe. Good wine and nice humus plate.
Excellent service, wines and location. Did not have any food, but no doubt it is great.
The location is perfectly situated downtown near the park. There are a number of shops and restaurants nearby. The wines are well know and stand up against any in the world. I highly recommend the chance to enjoy the ambiance and surroundings.
Lovely afternoon. Wonderful experience with the wine and chocolate Valentine pairing.. Terry was over the top great personality. Tentative and so sweet to take our cases out to our vehicle that was right out front of the winery tasting room. Thank you so much would definitely recommend!
The general experience is not what we expected. After a pleasurable experience one week before, we expected the same. However, this was not the case. We had Priscilla as our server then someone else took over. Priscilla was great! I knew our experience would be what we were expecting. However, when the other person took over (Terri?), things went downhill. She was hurried and not attentive. Priscilla came by the table to see how things were going and we told her we didn't get all of our food, the new server was slow and didn't explain the wines.
I'm marking this bad experience as an anomaly and one that I know should not happen again (this was our third visit in the last 4 months--both of which were out of this world).
I can't say enough about Priscilla and her great attention to her clients/customers. I truly wish we could have had her for our entire experience. Perhaps next time.
Fun time and Carson was great
We had an absolute great time. They were very careful with the Covid situation. Checked our temperatures and kept us 6ft apart. Our waitress was so attentive and lovely. The only thing that was a little inconvenient, and it’s a super small detail, where they sat us on the sidewalk they didn’t have any umbrellas to block the sun and it was pretty warm that day but we were fine. Just for future consideration 🙂
George was great and very friendly. love the new outdoor set up! Will be back again soon.
Excellent and knowledgeable service, unforgettable wine and food - JUSTIN is a must!
We love Justin, amazing wine! The cost to taste for non members is way too high, $40 per person.
It was a good as could be for outside seating. Prices are a bit high for tastings.
Our server was Priscilla. She was absolutely fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the wines and could not have been friendlier or more warm. We are locals and had not been to Justin for quite some time. The mines were very very good and Priscilla made our visit!!
We LOVE our Priscilla! Her smile can’t be hidden by a mask, she always makes us feel so welcome. It’s so refreshing to have such a “normal” experience during these trying times. Ps. The reserve Tempranillo is currently my favorite on the menu
Friends and I got a pre-dinner reservation and had a great time. Staff was attentive and we got cheese/cracker appetizers which were good. We ordered the wine flight and loved the Justin varieties Would recommend!!
The service and information George provided to us was outstanding! We ended up joining the exclusive membership as well as buying several bottles of wine. Great experience, will be back!
This was our first experience at the downtown tasting room (previously have been to the winery). We came for our wine society pickup and decided to try the wine and chocolate pairing. It was sublime. I have never tasted chocolate so good in my life. I first became interested in Justin when a friend gave me a glass of Isoceles, but never have I been to a winery where every single wine - red, rose, and white - all are amazingly good. Top notch - and well worth the price (probably worth much more, but thankful the prices are not out of reach).
Our waiter was great - kind, prompt, and talkative. I only gave him 4 instead of 5 stars because no one can compare to the waiter we had at our very first visit to Justin.
Paso Robles downtown is a cute little place, tons of restaurants and wineries, great for walking around. Justin faces the park, which is very clean and well-designed and made for great scenery. Reminded me of small-town America getting ready for the holidays.
All in all, a great experience. We look forward to coming back for our next wine society pick up!
Great wine! It is a bit pricy for tasting unless you are a member. Great member benefit if you live in town.
George was extremely pleasant!
Very knowledgeable about the Justin Estate and the beginning of Justin’s endeavors. The food was amazing and the wine paired perfectly. I enjoy both the Estate and Downtown visit. The only downfall is competing with all other wine club members for a spot of greatness.
Our Server was an absolute joy! She was very knowledgeable and involved. It was a little chaotic with the outdoor seating as Paso can get very busy this time of year. Not a fan of the Rose at all, I wish they would offer an option to replace one of the wines in the flight tasting. I will always be a Justin Fan, I’m just more of a red wine fan.
The employees that greeted us were not very friendly. Did not make us feel welcome at all.
Food and wine were great, Teri was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Setup was the best it could be considering the circumstances.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The food was wonderful- good portions for sharing! Wine and service was perfect!
The staff were rude
Great customer service! We had an amazing chocolate pairing that was delicious!
Great service ! Our server was amazing ! We had the peppers, rosemary truffle fries and the sliders . A great flight of wine that helped us figure out the bottle to purchase for lunch - Cab of course !
We purchased a reserve Malbec that the server had us taste - we got three bottles it was so good
Where do we start?! 🥂 We had George as our wine guy , right as they opened at noon on Friday. He was lovely, wines were lovely. Joined the wine club, bought lots of extra. Couldn't say enough good things about JUSTIN.
Only gave the food one star, for the simple reason that we did not order any! It didn't give us the option to skip it so we put one star.. yet we know the chocolate tasting was perfect. Their in-house pastry chef/chocolatier is more than incredible!!
