This is fast becoming my favorite restaurant.
Not only in Paso, but maybe anywhere. I've always had meals here where I left saying "that was the best meal I've had". The price tag is certainly not inexpensive, but for what you're getting (food prepared over DAYS, unobtainable cult wine

Wonderful wine & dining experience
This was such a unique wine & dining experience. We have friends that have been telling us to go for years, and we finally booked a Paso trip far enough in advance to get a reservation for my husbands 40th birthday. Outrageously delicious courses

The food and the wine were fabulous. It was a wonderful opportunity to taste wines we would not get anywhere else. Ian creates a fun atmosphere and is so knowledgeable. What a memorable experience!
A plate of Lima beans really
I was expecting unbelievable food at this place. We were both disappointed totally except for the knowledge that the owner had regarding the wines. I think if I remember correctly our second course was an entire plate of Lima Beans. I was in shock. I

A fabulous place to eat.
Service is exceptional, team of chefs are professional and friendly. I would go back every night if I could.
Just go.
Read the other reviews if you like, but the 9 or so courses, double wine parings with each, and great circuses make for a great experience.
With Ian, every night is a special night.
This is a too-of-the-line experience that anyone that loves food and wine will always be telling their friends about. It's hard to imagine a more perfect dining experience.
Seriously the best restaurant in Paso.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Somm's Kitchen Paso Robles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Somm's Kitchen Paso Robles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Somm's Kitchen Paso Robles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Somm's Kitchen Paso Robles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Somm's Kitchen Paso Robles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
