    If you have the time, come here instead of the typical stops like harris ranch or bravo farms. A slow paced chill restaurant in a slow paced little town, a little detour but great food! You'll be met by friendly staff and we saw quite a few locals eat here too. Chicken panini was ok, old boy Bleu burger flavor is great but definitely on the heavier side taste-wise. Mint cucumber lemonade was very concentrated in flavor and refreshing in hot weather. Best was the smoked beef dip, super smokey and had A LOT of meat. Au jus wasn't too salty either. On the side you're given the option of fries or fruit. Yes yes fruit is healthier but I'm willing to normally avoid fries to indulge in theirs! Lightly battered and crispy, not crunchy/tough coating like fast food and even some restaurants. And of course the pickle! One bite and we could tell it was homemade, not overly salty or sour but lightly and perfectly savory.

    Quiet, out-of-the-way place in a quiet out-of-the-way town, but well worth the visit. We stopped for lunch on our road trip and ordered the Beef Dip sandwiches. Fries were well-seasoned, sandwich rolls were soft, and the beef wasn't just enough to be hearty but not heavy. And despite the name of the restaurant, nothing was overly salty -- not even the pickle. If I didn't fear the dreaded food coma while driving, I would have gladly indulged in one of their milkshakes.

    We stopped through on a I-5 road trip. It's about a 15 minute drive from the interstate into Coalinga, but it's worth it. We arrived for a late lunch so it wasn't too busy. The food was great: bacon avocado burger and a fried chicken sandwich. The burger had lots of creamy guac on it. Fries were hot and crispy. One of the owners was helping us and was super welcoming. I was happy to eat at a local spot rather than the typical fast food on the freeway.

    The service was kind and the food was great! It was my first time and i got the Bacon Avocado cheese Burger, couldn't be more satisfied

    Veggie Panini sandwich

    Fast service, clean facilities, and a delicious veggie Panini sandwich. Great find in the little community of Coalinga.

    Cheeseburger special with fries.

Calamari came out hot and tasted great w/ aoli dip on side! We had more margaritas The restaurant is inviting with outdoor seating and beautiful bar with old town photos on the wall.

Of note, we were never given an option for indoor seating when making our reservation nor when we were seated. After ordering, we received our starter (shishito peppers) within 10 minutes. However once we finished the starter we waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our entrees. There was no communication from the wait staff at all, no refills on water, nothing. In fact in the patio dining area I saw three plates of food (including our peppers) delivered to tables in the hour we had been sitting there. Interestingly the wait staff all seemed very busy and moved around the restaurant but not much appeared to get done. Having worked in hospitality previously I have a lot of empathy for the staff as they seemed to lack direction and management support. My husband ordered the mushroom and scallop pasta. It was okay. Overpriced, but was tasty. I ordered the chile relleno and steak. The chile relleno was filled with a large amount of corn that tasted freezer burnt. My steak was thin and grey and overcooked. It was nearly all grey inside with a couple spots of pink. It wasn't seasoned either. The sauces on the plate were good. Our server was polite and did take it off the menu. However, no manager ever came by to check on us or any other table on the patio in the time we were there. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. It was a real let down to have a lackluster food and service experience at "one of the nicest places" in Paso.

I ordered the beet salad and it was honestly the best beet salad I've ever had -- super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Total standout. My dad tried the salmon taco, which he thought was just okay. A bit greasy and not something he'd reorder, but still fine for a quick bite. The outdoor seating is lovely -- a peaceful garden-style patio that makes the whole experience feel relaxed and charming. My only wish is that the menu had a few more options, as it's definitely on the limited side. Overall, great ambiance, exceptional salad, the service is fast, friendly; a nice little stop if you're passing through Paso Robles.

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!!!!

    Good Grief !! Where do I start?! At the beginning, Jim…read more.. OK, so I'm in Hanford, California doing a favor for a friend after a long day working in Los Angeles then driving 3 hours! My options??? Grabbing some snacks at the hotel or taking the spectacular advice of April and Naesha at the front desk of the Fairfield Marriott, my hotel for the night. They also said that the Steak Bites were fantastic. After a quick shower, I took the 5 minute ride to the restaurant. Independent building, fairly nondescript but classy enough. Easy access with plenty of parking. You enter in to a dark, classy Italian restaurant. A large , open dining room straight ahead, and a small (but really cute) bar to the left. I chose eating at the bar, and I'm happy I did. Raquel, the Bartender took care of me with humor, seriousness, smiles, and incredible recommendations. Ordered a nice Zin and started perusing the menu. The nightly "specials" menu looked great, but the regular menu nailed me. Before I could even begin to make decisions, their bread arrived at the table with a small bowl of marinara sauce. Maybe the best I've had... EVER! Raquel was literally describing the recipe after I raved. Should have asked for a copy! Guess I knew then that I was about to be thrilled! I ordered some of the steak bites for the ladies at the hotel, then proceeded, knowing I was about to overeat AND take a feast back with me. Always a Caesar Salad as a starter, asking for it not to be overly saturated and they nailed it. Just a personal preference and this is massively nit picky, but just a hint more anchovy paste. Raquel then steered me to Shrimp Avocado Crostini as an appetizer. It truly left me speechless, and that's virtually impossible (just ask my kids). The perfectly toasted Crostini's, thinly sliced, a smear of the avocado, then a spoonful of heaven! I mean the warm shrimp goulash, salsa, soup... heck, whatever it was, was pure perfection. Limited myself to 3 pieces, about 9 bites, and only consumed about 1/3. For my main course I opted for a chicken dish as I often do. I chose the Spicy Chicken Chipotle with Penne Pasta, Blackened Chicken, bell peppers,edamame, mango... Now as I'm already achieving some pressure on my belt, all just have a couple bites. OOPS!!! Yup, it was THAT good! And it came out hot, as it should, a thing many restaurants miss on. I was confused after my first bite because it was unnaturally sublime! I devoured it!!! Just left enough to add it to the bounty traveling back to the hotel. Truly some of the very best pasta I've had anywhere. So now I'm stuffed and she comes over and says a naughty word, DESSERT! Crème Brûlée Cheesecake sound ok? Sure, I reply. Light, fluffy, not overly sweet, luscious caramel sauce... two perfect bites and into a to go package. The food, 10/10 The Service, 10/10 (Thanks Raquel!) The Atmosphere 9/10 Don't know if I will ever get the opportunity to return, but if I do it would be my honor to have a chance at trying more of the beautiful menu. Bon A-petite' Cheers
