Villa Creek has a limited menu with too much emphasis on organic. Our server didn't know about the menu but made what seemed to be off the cuff recommendations. I had the salmon which was tasteless and mushy. Pricey and not worth it. Definitely would not recommend.

Great service, great food. Taco Tuesday a favorite. Chef Fundaro is always creating fun and different dishes. Wine selection is excellent. Jose and Ethan always take great care of us.

This upscale restaurant has a warm interior with high ceilings and nice wall hangings. It makes for a romantic setting. The food was excellent. I had the mushroom bolognese pasta which was superb. My husband had the tuna pasta which had a bit of spice. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. For dessert we shared a wonderful bread pudding with blood... More

Had a very nice Saturday dinner with friends at Villa Creek. If you like a good selection or Rhone and Rhone-style wines, this is the place to visit. I had the Hatch Chili and it was the hit of the table. A large bowl of very tasty pork in a great sauce. This was on the starter menu,but it is... More

My wife and I just wanted a quit bite to eat. Many of the restaurants in Downtown Paso Robles were nearing the end of the day, 9:00 pm. We were going to go to Pappy MacGregor's but as expected, it had a full bar scene with music playing in the patio as is customary on a Saturday night. As we... More

If you are traveling as a couple or group and you would like a cool atmosphere to have dinner and drinks, in an otherwise very quiet town, this is the place. We walked by the other very high ranked restaurants and they looked super quiet, this place on a Tuesday night has a great atmosphere and I think it is... More

Didn't eat there but we sat outside and had a glass of wine. The Rose was great. My husband had a German beer. The view is of the square and park, so lovely. The service was awesome. Will go back to try the food next time. A great place to chill and have a cocktail watching everyone go by.

Politely accept the menus after being seated at your table . . . and then JUST ORDER THE ROASTED CHICKEN. What a superbly cooked and well thought out dish. You can also use the same attitude towards the marinated mushroom appetizer. I can't tell you about every menu item, but it is clear somebody in the kitchen knows a whole... More

Had we read the Trip Advisor reviews we would never have eaten at the Villa Creek. However we hadn't when we called without reservation on Saturday night and were a little worried that the restaurant was less than half full although the bar area was heaving. We were served by Brittani and we were immediately impressed by her total familiarity... More

Love this restaurant! This was my first trip back to the area after 10yrs and it was just like I had remembered. The short rib was incredible! The service at the bar was wonderful (I think the bartenders name was Todd?). Overall, best dining experience during my stay.
