Then, of course, one would need to thank the bar for their drinks and presentations, which are awesome. You need a bit of showmanship to perform and serve at a place like this. Ok, here we go. Tucked away on a back street in Paso lies this interesting and very amazing venue. I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams going to a place like this, let alone what was inside. To be honest, I at first felt like I was entering the twilight zone, the first time I came here. In the back of my mind, I was thinking, " Is this what it felt like going to something like this during prohibition times? Now, in this post, I will not share all about your entrance, etc., into this place, as that takes the fun out of it, but I must add that if you are in the Paso area, this is a must on your list. Let's go back and recreate yesteryear, a very intimate and very exclusive, club-like atmosphere. You never know who is watching you; it's all that mystery. Does it feel a bit like the game CLUE"? You tell me. :-) Just remember this: speak easy, abide by their rules, speak quietly, and have fun!

No phones allowed, so you are completely free from distractions and can completely enjoy the intimate experience. We went shortly after opening hours, as we did not have a reservation. Our wait was short and we were soon seated at the bar enjoying our signature cocktails. Love the atmosphere and the fact they are using cocktail smokers and absinthe fountains in front of you.

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.

If you want a wedding that feels effortless, joyful, and downright unforgettable, The Penny is…read morewhere you do it. We got married here last month and it was the BEST day of our lives!! Choosing to have our day here was hands-down the smartest decision we made. From the second we stepped into the venue for our first tour, everything just clicked. We live in Arizona but knew we wanted to get married on the Central Coast. During our tour, Lauren truly listened to what mattered to us and showed us exactly how those details would come to life on our wedding day. That meant everything. We weren't just potential clients touring a venue, we were fiancés getting ready to celebrate the rest of our lives together, and Lauren never lost sight of that. Once we signed on, our planner Lindsey walked us through every detail with so much confidence and warmth that planning from a state away actually felt easy. Something we didn't really think about during this whole process is just how much time you end up spending with your planner - leaning on them to help you through the day, asking them for advice. By the end of it all, Lindsey felt like an old friend and we knew we could trust her with our vision for the day. The Penny has a preferred vendor list that is absolutely epic, and it was SUPER helpful for people like us who weren't local. They were also completely open to working with any vendors we'd already chosen. We picked our bar and catering from their preferred list and came back out for tastings with each. Both experiences were incredible - I could write full reviews on each of them too!! We also chose to use a few other vendors from their list and we were so glad we did. Great venues attract great partners, and it showed every step of the way. The entire team at The Penny brings real passion to what they do, and you can feel it in every moment. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamless the day was and how stunning the space is. The Penny gave us the wedding we dreamed of and then some - we want to relive this day over and over and over. We cannot recommend The Penny enough!! Makayla and Spencer

In a word, the overall Six Test Kitchen experience was PERFECTION! Thank you to Chef Ricky and his team for creating a very unique and special dining experience. Food: Delicious. Beautiful. Sumptuous. Thoughtful. Creative. Props to the chef for taking great care not to serve us cilantro, which one of us can't eat. He went out of his way to ask us questions about this prior and we were so grateful for his clear communication to ensure we had a great experience. We enjoyed 14 (!) tastings and we were stuffed afterwards - which is quite surprising since the tastes are small. We did not order the wine pairings and are so glad we didn't because we think we would have been too full to enjoy all of the food. We saved our wine tasting for the previous and following days when visiting wineries, and we didn't feel it was necessary to include with this experience. We took a few photos of the food, but didn't want to spend a lot of time taking photos (since we wanted to really enjoy the food) and then luckily, we met a couple the next day at our hotel who also had dined at the restaurant at the same time we did, and they shared more photos too. So I'll include all of those photos here. Ambience: Comfortable and Intimate. We felt like we were on an episode of Hell's Kitchen - the lighting is dim-ish, you are sitting around a bar next to 11 other patrons, looking into the kitchen with steel appliances and counters and watching the chefs prepare your food very diligently. Service: Straightforward. Each chef that delivered the food was polite, but not overly chatty as they were focused on preparing and delivering the food. We can't say enough about our first Six Test Kitchen experience. We have been raving about it ever since we dined in February. On our next trip to Paso Robles, which we hope is soon, we plan to go back. We made sure to make our reservation well in advance as we had heard it books up, so make sure to mark your calendar if you want to go! Value: We thought the experience was well-priced. The very next day, we had booked a six-course dining experience at Justin Winery. It was quite good and was about the same price, and we felt Six Test Kitchen was just a better value and experience overall. We would choose Six Text Kitchen over that experience for a Michelin-star tasting experience that was truly immersive and fun. To end the night, they presented the menu to us detailing all a list of all of the food we enjoyed and signed it. A very nice touch! Can't wait to come back and enjoy another memorable evening with the Six Test Kitchen team!!!!
