Just wow. First if you are not a foodie keep moving. You won't get it, or instead surprise…read moreyourself and live a little. My husband and I waited patiently for two years for the perfect time to make reservations and we finally did it. My birthday celebration month here at Six Test did not disappoint. We did the 2nd seating they are spaced 6 and 6 for a total of 12 per night. We were greeted by a super nice young man from Cambria. He wore a suit and offered us a seat and water while we waited. Once our party was seated it was as if we were watching a synchronized dance. In total I would say we had 15 courses! I had read some reviews that the plates were small,and yes they were, however they needed to be. We were stuffed when we left. There were some plates I could have had more for sure, but I believe this is what it's supposed to be. We weren't sure so we did have a late breakfast and waited to eat before our dinner. We did not do the wine pairing because we didn't know if it would be what we were looking for. We wanted the food aspect of the evening to be the star and it was. Everything was presented with such elegance and methodical precision. That alone was impressive. I read some reviews that the staff was not talkative or friendly. Wrong! I asked questions and they answered. Even so, the first round of choices was which cup we wanted our first course. I picked a pink depression goblet. They filled it with the most delicious tomato celery bonito I have ever tasted. The chef serving us and giving us our glasses said he made a few but the pink one was his favorite. So of course I chose it. Next we had oysters with a green strawberry kosho. Delicious! Our chef explained these would be the freshest oysters we would ever enjoy. They were literally caught less than 24 hrs. He explained most places get deliveries etc and therefore are not this fresh. Like wow very impressive. I could have had a tray of those. We also had smoked trout, wagyu beef, tuna, smoked pork, black cod, pork loin, duck, and then also desserts. I definitely don't want to spoil your experience but let's just say you will not get this level of goodness anywhere else. Very very unique to this team of chefs. Everything was so good and fresh. Next let me add that not only was it complete magic to watch them move around this beautiful space so seamlessly, I finally had to ask the chefs presenting our fourth course if they were the lead chefs. To this their answer set the tone for my entire experience. Both chefs had a smirk and pointed to the chef who offered us our glasses, gave us our first tasting! It was Ricky! This man was the owner and head chef but you would never ever know it. That alone impressed us all (party of 4). No ego. Ricky shared how proud he was of personally knowing the fishermen and how fresh his seafood was. He was proud of his cups, and lived the depression glass on his tray. He said they all had a story. Never once was he about himself. The team at Six test is not just a team of chefs but a family. You could totally feel it. My husband and I will definitely be back. It's obviously not something we could afford to do every week but definitely a treat we will definitely plan on every time we're in the area. This team of chefs work so hard to give you that magical experience. It's about the food for sure but also the quiet magic they have come to create. Thank you to the team at Six test. Thank you Ricky! Your chefs love working there and you can totally tell by the way you have created this wonderful space.

I've decided there are two kinds of Michelin restaurants. The first spends the entire evening…read morereminding you it's Michelin starred. The second quietly gets on with dinner and lets you figure it out yourself. Six Test Kitchen belongs firmly in the second camp. It's a tiny room. A dozen seats wrap around one open kitchen, so everyone sees everything. That should be chaos. It isn't. No shouting, no crashing pans, no television drama. Just cooks orbiting each other so smoothly I caught myself watching a man spoon sauce onto a plate with the focus you'd give a guitar solo. I have never been that focused on anything, including merging onto a highway. Everybody slows down in there without being told to. Nobody made a rule. Nobody held a meeting. Within a few minutes the whole room is whispering like it's a library with a tasting menu. Ask the staff about a wine and you're suddenly touring vineyards on the other side of the planet. Ask about an ingredient and you get a story instead of a speech. By dessert I figured they could explain quantum physics, provided somebody opened a Riesling first. I stopped trying to remember every course somewhere around the middle. That's a compliment. I just accepted that these people had a better plan for my evening than I did. A few dishes survived the amnesia anyway. The bluefin tuna proved just how hard it is to do something simple. The duck showed up in several forms, including a warm brioche stuffed with confit that weighed roughly nothing. I now believe butter has discovered antigravity. The duck liver ran so smooth and rich my brain filed it under dessert and refused to correct the error. The fifty-day aged Japanese wagyu arrived and politely ruined beef for the foreseeable future. People love telling you this stuff melts in your mouth. This one had better things to do. It raised my standards, thanked me for my time, and left every future steak to explain itself. Somewhere out there a perfectly respectable ribeye is about to get a deeply unfair comparison. None of that is its fault. With the final savory dish, the chef came over carrying a handcrafted wooden box and opened it the way you'd show off family photos. Inside sat knives forged from recycled ball bearings by a bladesmith in Athens, Georgia. He handed me one to use on the duck. I held it with the nervous respect reserved for museum artifacts and someone else's newborn, then spent ten minutes concentrating on not becoming a line item in the restaurant's insurance paperwork. The service deserves its own paragraph. My water glass never dropped below half full, and I didn't once catch anyone filling it. Empty plates vanished before I finished admiring them. Each course landed the moment I was ready for it, which I found mildly unsettling, since I didn't know I was ready. By the end, the whole night felt like a ballet where the audience gets fed. I left already negotiating with myself about how soon is too soon to go back.

I opted to do a trio with the bahn mi, tip o' Argentina, and the garlic fries. The food was good I forgot to take a picture! The tip o' Argentina was solid with the garlic aioli and the chimmichurri perfectly complimenting the steak and the lettuce and tomato adding a little bit of freshness. The buns they use for all of their sliders are soft, slightly sweet, and don't fall apart while you're eating. The Bahn Mi was even better. I love pork but was a little skeptical about pulled pork on a slider riffing on the flavors of a bahn mi. To my surprise and delight, it tasted just like grilled Vietnamese pork, which was perfectly complimented by the fresh and pickled veggies and surprisingly hot jalapeño. Finally, I got the garlic fries which were a massive portion, crisp, and very garlicky. Everything was good and with such a large and customizable menu, I'd definitely return if I was in the area again. I also want to give a shout out to the bartender, Kelsey. I sat at the bar and her service was attentive and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. We got the opportunity to chat for a bit and I loved her vibe, so definitely consider sitting at the bar if you're dining solo or with a friend.

I like the idea of watermelon and mint and pistachio. Classic pairing. It the cut of the watermelon was too small, the addition of cantaloupe was a mistake, the spinach was in clumps, the balance of the dressing was way off. I ate maybe 1/3 of it and pushed it aside. No one asked me about it when they picked it up, maybe because they knew it wasn't great also. I ordered a trio of sliders because a coworker recommended and the place really puts an emphasis on it as a whole menu page is dedicated to it. They must have about 70+ slider options which is not always a good sign. I got the pork Cubano, the chicken popper, and the benny burger. The buns were very tough/hard on the outside which was surprising. But they also started falling apart as I ate each slider which is a classic failing in burger physics. The buns should never fall apart. The chicken sandwich was tough to bite through. The Cubano didn't really taste like a Cubano and should have had pickles vs pickled peperoncini. It was all just underwhelming and made me think this menu was way larger and more complicated than it needed to be. I'd say that the place didn't quite live up to the name and I'm not sure I'd return.

On a quick day trip on a Friday afternoon, we decided to give this place a try. No reservation and were promptly greeted and seated. Although we did not have a full bay view, we had a partial bay view. Some hits and misses with food and service. 1. Bowl of Clam Chowder (no bread bowls available). Chowder was piping hot and had nice pieces of clams (dad got a bit of clam shell..so be careful), celery and potatoes. The chowder was very creamy and not grainy or watery like other locations. I would definitely order again 5/5 2. Fish & Chips: Fresh Pacific cod, lightly breaded, served with house-made tartar sauce. Fish was fried to perfection. 5/5 3. Seafood Pasta: Linguini with jumbo prawns, fresh catch, Cajun cream sauce, garlic bread. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly 5/5 4. Side of Garlic bread: extremely disappointing. We ordered garlic bread with our chowder, it never came. Waitress decided to serve it with the mains (fish and chips) and we ordered for the entire table and she only brought 2 pieces. 5. Insalata Molina: Mixed greens, arugula, pear, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, mango vinaigrette. Couldn't tell you if this was any good bc the waitress NEVER brought but charged us for it. She then takes it off the bill and brings me the salad in a Styrofoam container. I told her I didn't want it and put it in my bag. Salad was so soggy (which means the kitchen prepared it and the waitress forgot to serve it) I would not order and do not recommend ordering it bc it was the size of a side salad definitely not worth the price point. 6. Mocktail Lavender lemonade: definitely not balanced, was pretty tart and again the price point was off. It was about 8oz lemonade for $12 They do offer a nice selection of wines. Restrooms are located outside the restaurant and are public restrooms, pretty dirty and out of stock. Although our service was a big miss, I do recommend the food items we ordered. I did take a star off due to the service.

I was denied entry solely because I have a service dog, which is discrimination under the ADA. This…read moreis the second incident with this establishment where they have discriminated against me (I want to mention my prior experience my service dog came with me and was under control at all times and we were never asked to leave, so there was no prior incident for us). On arrival, my service dog was heeling calmly and under full control while the bouncer spoke with us. Despite this, I was told I could not enter because the establishment downstairs had previously had "an incident" with a different service animal. Denying access based on a past experience with another dog is not lawful. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, service animals may only be excluded if that specific animal is out of control or not housebroken--neither of which applied here. My dog was behaving impeccably and performing their trained tasks. Loudness, past incidents, or personal assumptions are not valid reasons to refuse a service animal. This was not a misunderstanding--it was a refusal of access based on disability. I hope management educates their staff on ADA compliance so future disabled patrons are not treated this way. I will not be spending my money here and urge others to do the same based on their discriminatory behavior.

That's just common sense. - She told me that I couldn't do to go food because the kitchen was closed and that they only take to go orders in the first hour of service. This was not on the website and I think it's a ridiculous rule. There are so many other restaurants in San Luis Obispo. Don't go to this one.

Rarely do I walk away from a dining experience where the quality of service and quality of food fight to outshine one another, but this was one of those spots. Our server, a German gentleman, was the consummate professional- always friendly, never overstepping, and added such a warm dimension to our meal. The fried green tomatoes and the white beet appetizers were standouts. I especially loved the vinegary dressing on the greens of the beet dish. For mains, we got the leek olive potato pizza, the ribeye, and the wood fire poached halibut. The avocado chimichurri that accompanied the ribeye was the perfect balance, and the sautéed greens under the fish were savory with the right amount of bite. I also liked their selection of mocktails; the pink pony club was a particular standout. All this for $200 was a better price tag than I was expecting, but most importantly, it got the stamp of approval from my notoriously picky grandmother and uncle. This spot is worth the drive.
