    We loved Eleven Twenty-Two, what a unique and fun experience. Hidden off the square behind Pappy…read moreMcGregor's in downtown Paso, this speakeasy has quite the entry process. First, you line up at the entrance, then you ring the doorbell, but only once as the sign warns. You are greeted through a peekaboo window in the door where they ask your party size. You are then taken in groups of three or less to a vestibule where they lock down your phones so you can't take any pictures and then you are seated in the dark and moody atmosphere. They don't split checks, so be ready to order as a group. There's a 90 minute time limit as well, so don't dawdle. Highlights of our order included the Butter Pecan Old Fashioned (so good!) and the Banana Daiquiri. We stayed for the full 90 minutes and when we left there was a long line waiting to get in. Go early if you want to get one of the few seats inside or be prepared to wait. We loved our experience.

    Had the thrill of taking my girlfriend out to check out one of Paso's most unique cocktail…read moreexperiences. She'd only been once before and thought it would be a fun place to return to. We arrived just minutes after 5pm on a Thursday, with only one group ahead of us -- about a 5-minute wait before we were ushered in. They do check IDs, so bring one, or find somewhere else to drink. After the secret knock and moving a book in the entryway library, the door opens into a 1920s-style bar: heavy, dark wood, and very limited seating, with just 8 seats at the bar and two larger seating areas for groups. I believe our bartender's name was Matt -- the last of the original employees since Eleven Twenty-Two opened eight years ago. He was great, walking my girlfriend through the menu when she asked for recommendations, and sharing some great insight when we asked about the bar's history and the mixology behind the drinks. She started the evening with a Mexican Firing Squad -- very margarita-like, with tequila, lime, house-made grenadine, and Angostura. I wasn't quite as adventurous and wanted to keep things simple, so my first round was a martini, stirred and dry. The fun didn't stop there, since we had 90 minutes to relax before our dinner reservation. Round two was a Slow and Foamy -- a lemongrass- and fennel-infused vodka with egg white. It was an interesting drink; flavors you wouldn't expect to work together, worked together beautifully. It's an in-house creation by the female bartender, whose name I didn't catch. Torn between a Sidecar and a Manhattan, I went with the Sidecar, since I hadn't found a good one anywhere else in Paso. Matt poured a really nice one -- not too sweet, with a sugar-rimmed glass and well-balanced simple syrup. Like every drink that night, it was beautifully balanced. We finished with a Banana Daiquiri -- their unique take on the drink, without the slushy ice or fake banana flavor. This was probably the best drink of the night for both of us, and we shared it. It's not cheap, but a night out for drinks never is. That wouldn't stop me from bringing out-of-town guests here -- they'd love this kind of historical, speakeasy-style setting. I really appreciated the staff's attention and professionalism. We had a great time. Thanks, Eleven Twenty-Two!

    A hidden gem in Paso, that's for sure! The talent they bring in is always impressive for a small…read moretown like ours, and that alone is reason enough to keep coming back. The ambiance is dark but fitting--dare I say, even sexy. Who doesn't like a little sexy? The wine selection is always excellent and served wonderfully by the staff. Andrea (short, yet incredibly vivacious) greeted us with a smile and complete professionalism. For someone that short, you might expect the vibe of an older sister teasing you and your buddies for being idiots--but she was anything but that. Having a place in town where you can go on a random date night--cover charge or not (get over it, people, the cover isn't that much)--is fantastic to have as an option. It's Paso, folks. There's only so much we can do here, and what Libretto and their staff are doing is hospitality first. Sadly, that's become a bit of a lost art in our town. But the people here are nothing like the heathen hostesses elsewhere who claw the menus with their freshly pressed gels while seating you at the worst table, all whilst saying "thank yeeewww." Thanks, Libretto, for doing better and for having such a wonderful team to host our evenings out.

    Jazz night on Wednesday nights!…read more Grabbed a couple drinks upstairs before heading down for the music around 8:30. Bartenders upstairs were great and made great drinks. Sitting at the bar is a great choice for prompt service. Also a great bartenders roulette creation! Jazz night fills up QUICKLY. Music starts at 8:30 and almost every seat was taken already. Mostly a young crowd but all ages showed up and showed out.

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.

    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.
