Another favorite restaurant of mine is McPhee\u2019s Grill<\/a> in Templeton. Due to the fact that we live in Paso Robles and it\u2019s easy to just drive downtown we don\u2019t get to McPhee\u2019s as much as we\u2019d like BUT\u2026we went there for our last date night.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been there for lunch and dinner before and I must say I prefer dinner. Not because of the menu, food, or service but due to the evening ambiance of McPhee\u2019s. The dimly lit rooms of the restaurant just add so much to the experience.<\/p>\n

As per our usual, we sat at the bar and proceeded to dive in. The bartender has waited on us before, he\u2019s awesome, but I sadly do not know his name. We started with a beer for me and a glass of bubbles for Annie. Then came the lovely, warm, addictive bread.<\/p>\n

We paused to enjoy all that sat before us along with the fact that we had a few hours away from Sammy. Next up was the Crispy Tempura Shrimp (spicy peanut sauce, asian slaw $18.00) and OH MY GOD (\u00dfin the biblical sense), it was awesome. I\u2019m a sucker for a good peanut sauce\u2026apparently.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not we only ordered one more dish and that was the flatbread pizza (R U Nuts – pistachio pesto, basil, Italian sausage, mozzarella, pecorino $15.00). Typically we do not have a stop button but this night we were able to slow down and enjoy rather than OVER indulge.\u00a0 The pizza was absolutely glorious. I personally REALLY enjoyed the sausage that was on it as it was warmly embraced by the warm, gooey cheese. The crust was perfect and another glass of wine please.<\/p>\n

As for wine, I had the house, which is by Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat). The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were both awesome. After Annie\u2019s glass of bubbles she had a glass of the house Chard and then a glass of the Lincourt Chardonnay. All great!<\/p>\n

So there you have it. Another fantastic spot on the Central Coast. I love McPhee\u2019s and I will tell you right now, if we lived in Templeton we\u2019d be there at least once per week (probably twice).<\/p>\n

Have you been??<\/p>\n\n\n
